Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 30 The system is really useful

The first day of December is the day for the rematch of the National Primary School English Competition.

The examination room was set up in the large conference room of Lincheng Experimental Primary School.

The students were each wearing their own school uniform, and the strength of each school was very intuitively displayed.

Students from prestigious schools with four or five contestants gathered together and talked to each other with smiles on their faces; those with only two vacancies lined up in pairs and talked to each other; the remaining schools with only one contestant - often the bottom-ranked schools whose places in the semi-finals were taken away by other schools because their performance was not good enough - these students could only gather in groups sporadically.

The classes of primary school students were formed naturally in this way.

But there was a troublemaker, wearing an unrecognizable long-sleeved jacket with white top and blue bottom, and even more unrecognizable dark blue trousers, who became the focus of the whole audience.

It is thanks to him that this school uniform can be recognized.

Yucai Primary School, Li Yan.

As soon as he entered the waiting room, he felt many scrutinizing eyes.

Each of those only children has experienced such scrutiny, making them feel uncomfortable, but fortunately the real person arrived early.

When the group of students from Experimental Primary School cast hostile glances at him, everyone present was sure that the person was Li Yan.

"The rematch is almost here, and you're still thinking these stupid things." Li Yan found a seat by the aisle and sat down, feeling a little speechless.

He didn't care what these people thought, because in his eyes at this moment, everyone present was not even an imaginary enemy.

No primary school student in Lincheng City has ever won a first prize at the provincial level. Winning a second prize at the provincial level can be widely publicized by schools like Experimental and Nancheng.

After all, the places for the finals are allocated by the province rather than based on ability. Every year there is an excellent student who goes to the capital to see the world, and then brings back an Excellence Award in the finals to comfort the teacher.

Given the level of education in Lin City, especially English education, they are not worthy of having an elementary school student who can win the provincial first prize - this honor only belongs to 20 people in the whole province, and 80% of them are won by New Taipei City.

This is Li Yan’s goal. For him, getting first place in this examination room today is just the minimum.

So he was actually a little nervous. Over the past week or so, he had been learning English composition under the one-on-one training of English teacher Huang. He practiced routines, memorized golden sentences, and even studied English writing.

系统的回应却不算很积极，书写+2、总分34，作文+1、总分36，英语+1、总分25。

Special exercises in English writing start from scratch, so the extra points are relatively more.

Judging from the two items of writing and composition, there should be no lower-level skills such as "English writing" and "English composition". Perhaps we can select exercises with lower proficiency from the skills included in the fourth-level skills to improve the overall score and then radiate other abilities?
Now is not the time to think about these things. Li Yan is not very satisfied that his English has only improved a little.

It’s exactly the level of 50%. If 30 represents the average value and the full value is 100%, what can this 50 represent?
I really have no idea, and even a little lack of confidence.

If half of the progress bar can allow you to win a prize in a provincial competition, then what about the 60% that won't allow you to win a national prize?

Does it mean that at seventy one can conquer the world and at eighty one can reach the top of humanity?

Can't you be a superman?

Logic: You are just a primary school student.

The logic continues: Due to the limitations of knowledge accumulation and physical development, the overall strength of primary school students is relatively low. At this time, if they have the same level as excellent junior high school students, they can become the top of the pyramid. The "average level" is compared with all human beings at all stages.

At this time, the rational impact derived from logic is very important. All distracting thoughts will be cleared away at once. There will be no unnecessary lack of confidence, no inflated imagination, only focus on the test paper in front of you.

This large conference room in Experimental Primary School can accommodate more than 200 people at the same time, and can accommodate students from both grades of Yucai School.

The space is airy and the lighting is bright, but the desk is not spacious enough.

The test papers were distributed, and the rustling sound was the only sound in the conference room. With the help of several high-end speakers, the sound was loud and clear, and Li Yan was very happy. He heard everything he should hear clearly.

The smooth flow of answering questions came to an abrupt end when it came to the cloze test.

He encountered words he didn't know, although it wasn't a big deal, as he didn't know them in the preliminary round, let alone the semi-final.

But he remembered that he had learned this word. This was really the most torturous thing. He had an impression of it, but he only remembered that he had "learned it". As for what the word meant, he couldn't remember any information at all.

He shouldn't have been bothered by this kind of problem. It would be a bad idea to waste too much time on just one question.

But he has no shortage of time. The question book has five major sections, and cloze test is the third section. Apart from the listening test, he has only spent less than ten minutes on it.

Li Yan has always believed that memory can be retrieved. If you still remember what you have seen, then you must remember the content of what you have seen, but because it is accumulated deep in your brain, there is no way to retrieve it.

Perhaps we can restore the scene when we learned it, and recall the word through the memory of other information?

Before his rebirth, he knew this trick, which is essentially the memory palace.

This concept was still new at that time. The work of a great historian in 84 had just been published in China and had not yet become popular.

And now, he has a stronger memory than he did back then.

"Let me see how powerful 48's memory is."

Li Yan's thoughts began to race against time. "Injustice" should have been learned when he was reciting words starting with "i". "i" is a special letter. He remembered that when he recited this, he also emphasized that the prefix "in" often has a negative meaning, so that afternoon, he also guessed the meaning of this word...

This word does express negation.

"Unfair and unjust!"

I remembered it, and all of a sudden, all the words on that whole page of the dictionary came to my mind.

Ding!
[Memory +1, total 49]

My god, there is an unexpected bonus? This system is so useful!
Three hours passed quickly. Unlike the preliminary round, everyone in the semi-final tried their best and almost wrote until the last second.

Including Li Yan, but he wrote five essays and picked one to copy carefully.

When he handed in the paper, he was calm.

There was no relief, no jubilation, and no chest-beating.

"There are a total of 17 questions that I'm not sure about, and 27 words that I don't recognize or whose meanings are unclear." He recited to himself.

It is impossible to judge whether this result is good or bad. The wailing and sighing in the audience at the end did not affect him at all.

His opponent is not here.

But some people present clearly didn't think so.

Several children from the Experimental Primary School, led by Zheng Yu, walked towards Li Yan. After all, they were indeed a group of good students. They walked towards her arrogantly and stopped quietly.

Li Yan glanced over with a puzzled look. The six students from Experimental Primary School actually lowered their heads, pushing and pulling each other with small movements, hoping for a spokesperson.

Zheng Yu couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and ask, "Is it difficult?"
