Chapter 60 College Entrance Examination
Xu Chuan didn't know much about the confrontation between the two countries. At this moment, he, like other candidates, was preparing for the college entrance examination.
For a high school student, or even for a person's life, the college entrance examination is one of the key turning points that determines destiny.
Occasional cases are not worth discussing too much. For most people, if they can get a few more points in the college entrance examination, their future life and destiny will be completely different.
Thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge. If you can get more points, you will have more destiny.
On June 4th, Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School is one of the important test sites. The first and second grade students have already had a holiday, and the third grade students are facing the final mobilization.
In class 1201, Tang Gaoyuan walked into the classroom.
Some noisy classrooms soon became quiet, and all the faces that still had some immature looks looked up at the podium.
Looking at the students in the classroom, Tang Gaoyuan rarely smiled in front of the whole class.
"Classmates, this is the last class."
"Three years ago, you walked into No. 1 Middle School full of beautiful visions for the future. In these three years, you have each achieved your own gains."
"If the past three years have been a long marathon, then today, it has entered the final sprint."
"The arrow has been nocked and the string has been fully drawn. All that's left is to give it a try."
"There are too many motivational words, so I won't say more. I believe everyone here has their own goals."
"Although the last two days are a holiday, everyone must pay attention to your health, pay attention to review, don't catch a cold, don't get injured, and don't leave any regrets for your future self."
"Take your hopes and efforts and move forward. In the days to come, I wish you all a bright future and sunshine all the way, and I also wish you happiness!"
"get out of class is over!"
In the classroom, the loudest and neatest applause sounded, and the students in Class 1201 stood up and bowed to Tang Gaoyuan on the podium.
Perhaps this scene will be a warm and beautiful memory for every teenager in the classroom as they grow up in the future.
At some point in the future, when these grown-up students revisit campus or watch campus movies, when they think about it, their hearts will be filled with strength again, and tears may well up in their eyes.
"Xuchuan, don't go back to your hometown these two days. I have a house near No. 1 Middle School. You can clean it up and live with me in the next two days."
In the chaotic classroom, Tang Gaoyuan said goodbye to every student and came to Xu Chuan.
The student in front of me is very special among this class of students. Most of the students in No. 1 Middle School are recruited from middle schools in Star City, but he was admitted from Yue County.
So during the two-day holiday before the college entrance examination, he was worried that traveling back and forth would affect Xu Chuan's condition.
"There's no need to trouble you, teacher. My mother has come to Star City and has already found a hotel for me to stay in. It's near the test center." Xu Chuan declined with a smile.
"That's good."
Tang Gaoyuan nodded, patted Xu Chuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Come on, come back with a perfect score for me!"
Xu Chuan nodded seriously: "I will try my best."
He didn't feel too nervous about the college entrance examination.
After all, once is born, second is familiar. In his last life, he got a score of 708, so there is no reason why he would be worse in this life.
Full marks depend on Chinese composition and English composition.
These two items are variables and depend to a certain extent on the subjective views of the marking teacher.
Seeing Xu Chuan's serious face, Tang Gaoyuan laughed loudly: "Okay, I'll just tell you, don't be too nervous and don't leave any regrets for yourself." The two-day holiday passed quickly.
The first day of the college entrance examination officially began. The first Chinese test was taken. Xu Chuan successfully solved the previous questions and faced one of the two biggest difficulties in the college entrance examination, 'composition'.
[There is a big tree with leafy branches and thick shade on the ground. It is a favorite resting place for birds and animals. Birds and beasts share their experiences of traveling to various places. After hearing this, the tree also wanted to travel, so it asked birds and animals for help. 】
[The bird said, you have no wings, so it refused. The tree wanted to ask the animals for help. The beast said, "You have no legs" and refused. 】
[So Dashu decided to find a way on his own. It bears sweet fruit that contains seeds. After the fruits were eaten by animals, the seeds of the big tree spread all over the world. 】
Based on the above materials, combined with your own feelings and thinking, choose any angle, draft your own topic, and write a narrative or argumentative essay of no less than 800 words.
Twenty years later, when Xu Chuan saw this question again, he felt a sigh in his heart.
Every year's college entrance examination essays have different ideas, but when he looked at this question back then, he actually only saw the most superficial idea.
"Life should be self-improvement!"
This is what he saw back then, and it is also the theme of his writing.
But looking back now, this essay question contains a lot of ideas.
A big tree is rooted in the ground, and it is obviously unrealistic to travel. It has no wings or feet, but as big as the heart is, the stage is as big as it is.
There is a saying that ‘if you have dreams in your heart, spring will bring flowers to bloom’.
This is its second intention.
In addition, using birds, animals and trees as titles actually alludes to people and things in real life.
After being refused help by the birds and animals, the tree did not ask for help from others. Instead, it silently figured out a way on its own and worked hard to bear fruit, thereby realizing its dream.
Isn’t this a great wisdom in the process of chasing dreams? How could it not be another intention?
Then again, the big tree provided a place for birds and animals to rest, but in the end the birds and animals refused the big tree's request. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. This is also an intention.
But on the other hand, from the perspective of birds and animals, the tree's initial request was undoubtedly beyond their capabilities.
Although he refused, he eventually carried the seeds of the big tree within his capabilities and spread them all over the world. A win-win situation is another idea.
Of course, for Xu Chuan, it was impossible for him to write down all the ideas he saw in his composition, as that would be nondescript.
After pondering for a while, Xu Chuan started writing.
"Cultivation of the Heart Like a Lotus"
This is his title.
The tree begs for animals to carry it, but is rejected; if it waits quietly to bear fruit, then the salty food will be eaten and its seeds will be passed on.
Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning" says: "A gentleman is born not to be different, but to be good and false to things." But why are other things willing to be used by me? Because there is something in the belly, not empty. ”
People can only seek appreciation from others if they cultivate themselves and show their worth.
This is the so-called "peach and plum trees do not speak, but they will create a trail of their own". Cultivate your mind like a lotus, which has no vines or branches, and its fragrance spreads far and clear. A section of green waves among the lotus leaves in the fields makes the lotus fragrance spread thousands of miles in the wind.
I feel resentful of the world's indifference and cold eyes. Only when you reach the state of mind can you realize that it is your body's vain pursuit.
When people help me, I thank them; when people help me, I help them, and then I call them with clear virtue. Cultivation of the mind is like a lotus, and self-reflection is as clear as the bright moon.
Why not benefit each other? The world kisses me with songs, I send you fragrance, and cultivate your mind like a lotus.
