Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 180 IATA Written Test
Chen Zhou also told Wu Xiping that the paper had passed review and would be published soon.
After all, Wu Xiping was his instructor.
Although his name was not signed on the paper, Wu Xiping revised all the basic issues such as the format, wording and sentence structure of Chen Zhou's paper.
This is also one of the reasons why the paper was approved in one go.
Of course Chen Zhou had to share this good news with Wu Xiping.
After receiving the news, Wu Xiping did not hesitate to praise him and said directly: "Good job!"
Afterwards, Wu Xiping told Chen Zhou’s counselor Huang Yemei the news.
On the phone, Huang Yemei asked uncertainly: "Professor Wu, are you sure Chen Zhou's paper will be published in the journal?"
Wu Xiping immediately said, "He told me this himself, how could it be false?"
Huang Yemei was immediately amazed and said: "I didn't expect that he actually did it..."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Yemei was still in shock.
She still remembered how Chen Zhou asked if it would be okay to just publish the journal.
Unexpectedly, within just a few months, this student actually published an SCI paper independently.
Huang Yemei immediately stood up and prepared to report the matter to the leaders of the School of Mathematics.
The series of things that have happened to Chen Zhou since he entered the Department of Mathematics at Yanjing University have made it impossible and should not allow the Department of Mathematics to remain on the sidelines any longer.
If we don't take action now, who knows if someone will get there first?
After all, the finals of Qiu Sai are only a little over a week away.
Mr. Qiu's words praising Chen Zhou on Weibo have already spread in the School of Mathematics.
And this final is an interview!
In addition to Mr. Qiu, the judges of the interview include many big names in the international mathematics community. Who knows, they may take a liking to Chen Zhou?
In order to prepare for the finals of Qiu Sai, Zhao Qiqi, Zhu Mingli and Li Li have already begun to make their own preparations.
Even if they can't get the final gold medal, they will try their best to perform at their best.
Just as the rumors outside have said, they are going to follow Chen Zhou and win all the gold and silver medals in this year's Qiu competition!
Similarly, Chen Zhou also made some simple preparations for the finals of the Qiu Sai.
He was currently in the examination room for the IATT exam.
With him was Yang Yiyi.
After Chen Zhou told Yang Yiyi that he had registered for the IELTS test on April 11.
Yang Yiyi also signed up immediately, since she had to take the exam sooner or later anyway.
Since I have time, I will sign up for the exam first.
Moreover, I can be with Chen Zhou.
The IELTS test is divided into four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
The written test consists of listening, reading and writing, and the test lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes .
The written test is usually scheduled on Thursday and Saturday mornings.
And April 11th was a Saturday.
In the morning, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi followed the habit-forming plan. They got up early, ran, had breakfast, and went straight to the examination room.
The written test of IELTS will close at 8:30 am.
When Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi arrived at the examination room, it was just 8 o'clock.
The two were lucky enough to be assigned to the same examination room.
Chen Zhou greeted Yang Yiyi and walked towards the toilet. He found that he seemed to have drunk too much water in the morning.
This operation is actually a taboo before the exam.
In order to ensure a good condition for the exam, most candidates will plan their diet reasonably and will never drink too much water.
Moreover, the IELTS test stipulates that going to the toilet is not allowed during the listening and reading tests.
If I need to go to the bathroom, I can only go while I am writing.
But there will be an invigilator following and the test will be recorded.
However, Chen Zhou didn't do it on purpose.
At the end of his morning run, he felt thirsty and drank more water.
Then, I had another bowl of porridge for breakfast.
That’s why the current situation has occurred.
When Chen Zhou came back, Yang Yiyi smiled and said, "I told you not to eat porridge, but you didn't listen to me."
Chen Zhou smiled awkwardly, then said, "It's okay, I can go to the toilet while writing."
Yang Yiyi nodded: "Then you can only be recorded..."
Chen Zhou said helplessly: "There is no way. This IELTS test is too tricky. It actually requires you to take the entire test. If you leave in the middle of the test, it will be considered a violation..."
As Chen Zhou said, the IELTS test has clear time regulations and restrictions, and the examination room rules are very strict.
Just like you must not look at the test paper before hearing the instructions.
Because if you review the paper in advance, the invigilator will record it and judge it as cheating, and your IELTS score will be directly cancelled.
Chen Zhou had no choice at this point.
After saying that, Chen Zhou looked at the time and said to Yang Yiyi: "Yiyi, why don't you go in first, I'll go in later..."
Yang Yiyi looked at him and smiled: "I'll accompany you, and we'll go in together later."
Chen Zhou thought about it and did not refuse.
The two of them sat not far from the entrance to the examination room, chatting while watching the people walking into the examination room one after another.
In contrast to the two's relaxed attitude, they found that these people taking the exam.
Most of them looked solemn, as if they were facing a fierce battle.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Zhou went to the bathroom again.
After returning, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi received the test slips from the staff, put them on their wrists, and then entered the examination room.
After entering the examination room, the two handed in their ID cards and a passport photo.
Chen Zhou’s passport photo was taken not long ago.
Because he applied for a passport just for this exam.
The staff asked some questions in English, such as "Do you have a cell phone with you?" and "Do you have a note with you?"
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi both answered "NO" in fluent English.
Afterwards, the staff took away their ID cards and asked Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi to sign their own information.
After signing, Chen Zhou and the other person went through security check again and then went to their respective seats.
After Chen Zhou sat down, he checked the name information on his seat and then waited silently for the written test to begin.
First is listening.
Before the audio was played, Chen Zhou got the answer book and answer sheet, the answer book is also the test paper.
According to the corresponding requirements, write your test information in the answer booklet and answer sheet, and then start the trial class.
This is to understand the sound reception of the headphones and ensure that your hearing is intact.
After everything was ready and he made sure there were no problems, Chen Zhou began to browse the listening questions.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the invigilator started playing the listening audio.
35 minutes of listening time.
During this time, you need to complete 4 parts of listening, totaling 40 questions.
As the listening test ended, Chen Zhou began to copy his answers on the answer sheet.
According to the examination requirements, there will be 10 minutes of transcription time.
After 10 minutes, the invigilator will collect the answer booklet.
But the answer sheet will be left.
Because the answer sheet is shared by listening and reading.
Of course, if you feel that you can change the listening answers without looking at the questions.
You can also make changes directly on the answer sheet.
Then, it’s time to read.
The reading time is 1 hour, with 3 articles and 40 questions.
For the reading test, there is no extra time for copying.
Transcribing is included in the 60-minute exam.
Chen Zhou finished the 40 questions early and was waiting for the time to end.
Fortunately, he went to the toilet before entering the examination room, so he could hold it in for a while.
Finally, the 60-minute reading test time is over.
After the invigilator collected the answer sheets, he began to distribute the writing answer sheets and answer books.
There are two answer sheets for the writing test, one yellow and one white, with notes for Task 1 and Task 2 on the sheets.
The writing time is also 1 hour.
During these 60 minutes, you need to complete two essays: Task 1, a short essay of at least 150 words, and Task 2, a long essay of at least 250 words.
After Chen Zhou got the answer booklet and answer sheet, he casually expressed in English that he wanted to go to the toilet.
The invigilator looked at him in surprise, then found it a little funny.
The man told Chen Zhou to wait for a moment, and after he communicated with him, he came over and took Chen Zhou to the bathroom.
On the way, the invigilator wanted to tease Chen Zhou many times, but he held back.
As the invigilator, he cannot break the rules himself.
But he really thinks this candidate is very smart!
Coming to the bathroom, Chen Zhou finally released himself and instantly felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
