Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 11 Study hard and make progress every day
Chen Zhou took two steps at a time and quickly caught up.
But when he got closer, he suddenly slowed down.
Yang Yiyi noticed something, stopped, leaned sideways, and intended to let the person behind her go first.
When she saw that the person behind her was Chen Zhou, she was slightly stunned, then smiled: "It's you."
In order not to disturb the students who wanted to go out, she signaled Chen Zhou to go first and she would follow.
After leaving the classroom, the two walked towards the school gate together.
Chen Zhou said: "I never thought that we would be in the same class. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence. I also..." Yang Yiyi paused for a second and immediately said, "I didn't expect you to be sitting in the last row."
"I sat in the back row because it's more spacious." Chen Zhou didn't notice Yang Yiyi's pause, he continued, "It's mainly because there are too many students in each class in this school, and it blocks the view. You sat far away from me, and you couldn't see me at all. If it wasn't for Old Xu asking you to stand up and read your composition today, I probably wouldn't have known we were in the same classroom until the class was divided."
"Yeah, I was also surprised when Teacher Xu asked you to stand up." Yang Yiyi continued , "Speaking of which, you have made great progress. Your English can be said to have reached a new level."
Hearing Yang Yiyi praising him, Chen Zhou felt happy in his heart, but he said nonchalantly, "I have made some progress, mainly because I performed well."
Yang Yiyi smiled and asked, "How about Chinese and math? How did you do?"
"Chinese is okay, I got 135 points. Math is not so good. I guess the math teacher wanted to give us a warning. The questions were too difficult this time, and I am far from the passing line." Chen Zhou complained about the math teacher again.
"Mathematics is indeed too difficult." Yang Yiyi also agreed with Chen Zhou.
"What about you? Three test papers were distributed this morning. How did you do in all of them?" Chen Zhou asked.
"My Chinese score is about the same as yours, 139. My math score wasn't that good either, only 102. As for English, I was a little better than you, 134."
"Ahem...Great!" Chen Zhou said with a dry cough after hearing Yang Yiyi's score.
His heart was extremely shocked: "Fuck! This is so embarrassing... How person be better than me? His math is almost twice as good as mine. Horrible! Even more terrible than that Zhang Yifan. No, Zhang Yifan is nothing!"
Zhang Yifan, who was eating, sneezed for no apparent reason.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
"No, nothing." Chen Zhou touched his nose.
He suddenly thought of the conversation they had when they first met. It seemed that she really didn't do well in the college entrance examination.
But if someone can score over 100 points on a math test of this difficulty, will he really fail in the college entrance examination?
Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi twice more but didn't ask any further questions.
"Your grades are really good." Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
After thinking for a while, Yang Yiyi smiled and encouraged him: "You don't have to envy me. You can improve your English, which is the subject you are least interested in. If you persist, you will definitely catch up with me soon, or even surpass me."
Chen Zhou found this encouragement very useful and it was pleasant to listen to.
Thinking about the class division in the evening, Chen Zhou said, "You should definitely be in Class (1) this time."
"Well, that should be possible. Don't worry. With your grades, you have a good chance of getting into Class (1)." Yang Yiyi thought for a moment and added, "Actually, I don't really care. It's the same no matter which class you're in. The only goal is to pass the college entrance examination next year."
Listen, this is the difference. A true academic master can study wherever he is.
Unlike Zhang Yifan who started yelling as soon as he arrived, I want to rush into Class (1).
Zhang Yifan, who was still eating, couldn't help but sneeze again . He thought he had a cold.
Unconsciously, the two of them had walked to the door of a snack bar. Yang Yiyi stopped and said, "I bought some food here and took it back to the dormitory to eat. What about you? Do you want to eat here?"
Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "I'll go to the restaurant I usually eat at. You can go get the food and go back to the dormitory. Bye."
"Oh, by the way, Chen Zhou." Yang Yiyi called Chen Zhou, "If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Zhou didn't expect that Yang Yiyi would take the initiative to offer help. Among the students who are repeating a grade, everyone is very busy.
"You're welcome." Yang Yiyi took the meal handed to her by the boss and turned to leave.
Chen Zhou waited until she walked away before he withdrew his gaze from a distance.
After the lunch break, the afternoon self-study and three afternoon classes were divided up among the comprehensive science teachers.
It was not until the first class of evening self-study that all the test papers for this class placement test were analyzed as the biology teacher finished his explanation.
In terms of comprehensive science, Chen Zhou scored 88 points in physics, 74 points in chemistry, and 62 points in biology.
The total score of comprehensive science is 224 points.
In Chen Zhou's opinion, the difficulty of this comprehensive science test paper should be at this level.
There were no mistakes, no exceptional performance, just a little bit of improvement.
After the comprehensive science scores come out, everyone’s total scores will also come out.
Chen Zhou calculated that his total score was 532 , which was higher than that of all the other students around him except Zhang Yifan.
After another calculation, Zhang Yifan was not exaggerating, he scored 563 points.
Except for Chinese, Chen Zhou lags behind in all aspects!
This also made Chen Zhou realize the gap. Although he had made some progress thanks to his own study plan, he was still not as good as those with good academic performance, especially in mathematics.
But Chen Zhou didn't get discouraged. He was just barely able to get through the first-tier line, and he didn't need to compete with these people.
To put it bluntly, completing the small goals of system tasks is the most important.
This exam also gave him a lot of confidence in completing his small goal of completing the baseline test.
During the second period of evening self-study, Xu Shaowen came to the classroom with two forms.
"The score statistics and final rankings are all out. Let me tell you the highest score in our class and you can find the gap. Chinese 139, Math 102, English 134, Science 242, total score 617, ranking 8th in the grade. By the way, her scores in all subjects are the best in our class."
"I won't go into the other ones one by one as there isn't enough time. You can come and see for yourselves later." Xu Shaowen raised the ranking list in his hand and placed it on the side of the desk.
After that, he picked up another form and said, "This is the new class division table. Let me read it to you. Of course, as the head teacher of Class (6), I will first read the name list of the students who will remain in Class (6)."
"Wu Mengfan, Zhang Zitao..."
Chen Zhou did not listen carefully to the list of students remaining in Class (6); his thoughts were still on the highest score.
"Isn't this Yang Yiyi's score? Although I already know there is a gap between me and her, the gap after comparison is a bit big..." His eyes couldn't help but look in that direction.
Noticing that Chen Zhou was distracted, Zhang Yifan poked him with his arm, and Chen Zhou came back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about? Are you too nervous because the list of names for Class (1) will be read out soon?"
"No, I don't really care. It's the same no matter which class you are in. The only goal is to pass the college entrance examination next year. Well, study hard and make progress every day, okay?"
Zhang Yifan: “…”
After Xu Shaowen finished reading the names of the students who stayed in Class (6), he added: "Congratulations to these students for being able to stay in Class (6) and continue to receive my guidance for a year, haha."
"Next, here is the list you are most looking forward to, the list of students who have been admitted to the key class, Science (1) class, in the placement test."
"Yang Yiyi, Zhang Yifan, Chen Haining..."
"The last one, Chen Zhou."
