Chapter 146 Monthly Exam
Time flies, a week passed by in a flash, and it was time for the monthly exam.
The monthly exam will be held on Monday, March 3th. All students in the school will have to take the exam. No matter if you have just been in school for half a month or a few days, you will have to take the exam.
Those who have just entered school can get a feel for what an exam is and what the exam paper looks like. Those who have been studying for a long time can take an exam to test their learning progress.
Those who pass the exam will graduate directly, and those who fail will continue to study in the class until they pass.
The Chinese test papers were handed out.
Lin Zisu and her classmates started school on March 3th, and minus Saturday and Sunday, they only attended school for 17 days in total.
When the first Chinese test papers were handed out, most of the students who had just entered the elementary class could not even understand the questions, even though the words were marked with pinyin.
For modern people, if you suddenly ask them to memorize the single vowels, initial consonants, and whole syllables in the pinyin table, 90% of them can't write them all. But after reading or writing them once, they can basically learn them.
The textbooks and teaching materials handed out by the teacher must be collected after class. Students can take notebooks, copy down the key points in the textbooks, and take them home to study.
Lin Zisu's family of four, when they were in class, they took the textbook and knew what was going to be on the test paper after just one glance. If they couldn't pass the test, the four of them would laugh at each other for a year.
The first question of the Chinese test is to write out the four tones, one, two, three, and four. The second question is a four-line Pinyin grid, where you need to write the Pinyin letters in the Pinyin grid according to the format. You need to memorize the entire Pinyin table, and memorize it according to the single vowels, initial consonants, and whole syllables.
Pinyin plus tones are used to spell words and sentences. The first two pages of the Chinese test paper test Pinyin. Turn the test paper over, and the back two pages test the radicals and stroke order of the characters, as well as simple characters.
Chinese characters from one to ten, daily characters and words, synonyms, antonyms, polyphones, and sentence making. Write a 200-word essay, with no limit on the content, and you can get full marks for the essay if there are no typos and the content is fluent.
The math test includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and calculation problems using Arabic numerals.
Lin Zisu's family of four finished their Chinese and math papers in less than half an hour each, and that was because they wrote slowly. No matter how slowly they wrote, there was still a lot of time left.
The two siblings were thinking about the content and plot of their respective novels. They started writing last week. They asked around and decided to submit their manuscripts to a newspaper, where they would serialize their novels or publish them as a book. The prerequisite was that their novels would be accepted. If not, they could print and publish the book at their own expense.
Shen Xianglan was thinking about what vegetables to buy later, what to eat for lunch, and what to cook for dinner. It rained from time to time in spring, and it was difficult to dry some herbs.
Lin Youcai fell asleep as soon as he finished writing. The teachers who were patrolling the paper didn't know what to say when they saw that the paper was full.
If you learn the Chinese and mathematics content of the beginner class thoroughly, you will basically have no problem living in the country after graduating from the beginner class.
The Chinese test lasted two hours and the math test also lasted two hours, with a 30-minute break in between, so it was 12:30 when we finished the tests.
The morning passed with everyone sweating, sighing and in a trance.
Lin Youfu: "I don't even know what's on that paper!"
"It doesn't recognize me, and I don't recognize it either." Lin Yougui said, shaking his head.
Old Man Lin frowned and said, "Why not ask us to go and farm? Why are we wasting our time here?"
Lin Youcai smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go and have lunch."
Lin Youxiang: "Let's go, let's go, let's go to work after we finish eating. Big brother, second brother, are you going to work at the pork factory today? I heard from Uncle Zhao yesterday that the wages are good!"
Lin Youcai: "Pork factory? Going to kill pigs?"
Lin Youxiang: "Not only killing pigs, but also other things to do, probably cleaning or something."
Lin Youcai: "Uncle Zhao is good at butchering pigs. That's his family's specialty!"
"Brother Youcai, how did you do in the exam?" Tao Mingyuan came over with his wife and children.
"That's it! What? You still want to check the answer?" Lin Youcai said with a smile.
Tao Mingyuan chuckled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Lin Youcai waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it. The results will be out the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go to the cafeteria for lunch?"
"Go, have something to eat. We still have to go to work!" Tao Mingyuan said as he called his wife and children and walked towards the cafeteria together.
Lin Zisu looked at Tao Mingyuan's son, and thought of his little daughter, and her two 4-year-old cousins, "Uncle Tao, do these kids need to take exams?"
Tao Mingyuan: "No, the kindergarten classes for children under 6 years old are different from ours."
Shen Xianglan: "The kindergarten class is different from ours. Children are young and can be taught slowly from the beginning. Your two little cousins are in the kindergarten class all day, so parents just need to pick them up before 19pm."
Lin Xianwen: "Does the school provide meals?"
Lin Zisu: "Do my parents want to pay?"
Shen Xianglan: "You two really don't care about anything! After all, you have been here for almost two weeks. Children under 6 years old are in the kindergarten class, and the school provides breakfast, lunch and dinner. Parents don't have to pay. If you don't have enough to eat at home in the morning, you can eat at school."
My grass is a plant, not all formal residents have such benefits! Lin Zisu gave a thumbs up, "This is the strength of the government!"
"Those in power are magnanimous!" Lin Youcai nodded and affirmed.
Lin Youcai: "In this era, not having enough to eat is the norm! Fat people are a rare body type! Children are pitiful. Parents know that they can go to school for free and get three free meals. Families with children under 6 will definitely send them to school. Those in power are kind-hearted!"
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. It was indeed true. They had been here for more than ten days, and the life here was something they had never dared to imagine before.
