"You are a local, so everything you do is more convenient than for us outsiders, so..." Huang Liying was unhappy when she saw Qiao Mo didn't respond to her, but she still said what she wanted to say.
"You are wrong. We don't have regional discrimination here." Qiao Mo looked at her with a smile.
"Yingzi, this is a school, what people call an ivory tower. There's nothing messy here like you think."
"You are wrong. School is a small society where anything can happen." Huang Liying insisted on her own opinion. Although she grew up in the village, there were many educated youth in their village. She had seen those educated youth fighting to the death for the quota to return to the city, the quota to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, etc., especially in such a big school.
Yang Jianying wanted to say something, but the bell rang and she had to shut up.
"I am Yang Lin, your basic English teacher. Now let's have a small test to see everyone's foundation." The teacher stood on the podium and dropped a bomb.
There was a groan in the classroom: "On the first day of class, the teacher gave us a warning. It seems that the days ahead will not be easy."
Teacher Yang ignored them and put the test papers in the first row and asked the students to hand them in.
After Qiao Mo received the test paper, she read it from beginning to end, then picked up her pen and started writing. This test paper was more difficult than the English test paper in the college entrance examination, but it was not easy for Qiao Mo. She spent half an hour to finish the test paper, checked it carefully again, and after making sure there were no mistakes, she handed in the test paper and left the classroom. Then she walked slowly on the campus, enjoying this rare leisure time.
The next two days were filled with exams, which failed for most students. Except for Qiao Mo, everyone else in dormitory 306 was devastated and looked listless.
"Qiao Mo, how did you do in the exam?" Yang Jianying asked when she saw Qiao Mo handed in his papers early for every subject and was still leisurely preparing for class after the exam.
"Not bad." Qiao Mo nodded.
"Don't you find it difficult?" Yang Hongyu, who had the lowest presence in the dormitory, asked curiously.
"Do you think it's difficult?" Qiao Mo looked at her and asked. In her mind, this test paper was just at the level of an ordinary high school student and was not beyond the scope of the exam.
"It's too difficult. It recognizes me for most of the words, but I don't know them. I don't even know the characters. I can't understand the questions. How can I answer them?" Yang Hongyu felt that this exam had drained her completely.
"Me too. I have to give back to the teacher all the things I learned before. I studied hard for two months before the college entrance examination, but not much time was allocated to English. So, reading these things now is like reading a book written in a foreign language. I don't know how the teacher will treat us tomorrow." Yang Jianying said unhappily.
"The teacher said it was a small test, but to sum it up in two words, it's very difficult. To sum it up in three words, it's extremely difficult." Feng Tiantian also said seriously.
"If everyone's foundation is similar, the teacher should give everyone extra lessons." Qiao Mo didn't expect everyone's English foundation to be so poor. She knew that everyone had learned English in school.
"Let's review by ourselves first, otherwise, we will become a laughing stock when we don't know anything when the teacher asks us." Shen Xue took out a high school English textbook and started reading it.
"I'd better memorize the words first. Otherwise, it will be useless if I don't even know the characters." Yang Hongyu also took out a high school textbook, opened it and started memorizing words.
At this time, she was most grateful for her self-awareness and knowing that her foundation was poor, so she brought her high school textbooks with her. If she hadn't listened to her mother and sold the textbooks to those educated youth who didn't pass the exam, otherwise, she would have no books to review now.
Of course, when the teacher saw the terrible results, he was upset and could only try his best to make up for it: in addition to teaching new lessons, he also had to use his spare time to give everyone extra lessons.
The dismal test results and the teachers' constant urging made everyone feel even more urgent. Many students wished there were twenty-four hours in a day. Except for eating and sleeping, they were all studying hard.
