Although the slogan is exaggerated, it is also effective, and it successfully arouses Endo's curiosity.

In fact, this is a promotion activity jointly carried out by Baiquan Society and Educational Book Publishing House.

In this issue of the magazine, the "Dragon Sakura" comic mentioned the problem of how to learn the Chinese language, and it happened that the Education Book Publishing House launched a new reference book - "Ancient Literature is Not So Difficult", the core content is to teach candidates how to easily learn Chinese and overcome the great difficulty of ancient Chinese.

That's why there is a strange scene in the bookstore, where comic magazines are sold in the teaching area.

It's hard to think of the editor of the White Springs Society who came up with this idea.

But the effect is still good, at least, students like Takayasu Endo, who are dedicated to taking the exam, also picked up the manga magazine.

After wandering between the two books for a while, Takayasu Endo still picked up the 20 issues of "young_animal" first - of course, definitely not because he was attracted by the swimsuit lady on the cover, absolutely not!

After being cautious and peeking at the idol photo a few times, Takayasu Endo turned directly to the serial page of "Dragon Sakura" and began to read.

The content of the third episode begins with Kenji Sakuragi explaining to the two girls who participated in the special training class of Tokyo University how to take the entrance examination to Tokyo University.

In the previous episode, Kenji Sakuragi had already told Kano Kazaka and Naomi Mizuno that it was not as difficult as they imagined.

Still, this is a very difficult goal – especially for students with two grades at the end of the crane.

Since the goal is to go to the East University, it is necessary to increase the probability of passing the exam as much as possible.

For the choice of major, it is very important.

The Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo is divided into two categories: Arts and Sciences.

Liberal Arts I Law School, Liberal Arts Class II Economics School, Liberal Arts Class III Education and Literature.

The first class of science is the College of Engineering and the College of Science, the second class of science is the College of Agriculture, and the third class of science is the School of Medicine.

The three types of science medicine are special and will not be considered for the time being. In terms of theory alone, most people always think that liberal arts only need to be memorized by rote, and they are much better than science subjects.

Naomi Mizuno in the manga thinks the same way.

After seeing this analysis and dialogue, Endo Takayasu couldn't help but nod. Because he wanted to maximize his chances of being admitted to the University of Tokyo, he set his goal as three categories as liberal arts.

Although his Chinese is very poor, he is still passable in English and social studies.

But Kenji Sakuragi immediately refuted this view.

"I want you to set your goal as a science major at the University of Tokyo!" The handsome uncle pointed to the only two girls in the promotion class and announced with great momentum.

Immediately afterward, he gave his reasons.

"Science is more difficult than liberal arts, this is the general public's perception. It's not just you two stupid people who think so, but also many of the so-called smart people who want to take the entrance examination to Tokyo University. Therefore, every year, the acceptance rate of liberal arts at Tokyo University is one-fifth, and the acceptance rate of science is one-fourth! In other words, if you take the science exam, you actually face less competition! ”

Of course, in addition to the cognitive bias of the difficulty of liberal arts and sciences, there is another reason for this situation: studying law can become an official and a lawyer, studying finance can make a lot of money, while science is not so attractive when you become an engineer and a researcher.

"In addition, although a solid foundation is the key to the entrance examination at the University of Tokyo, it also requires the depth and breadth of knowledge that candidates have mastered and the ability to use it flexibly. Especially in the liberal arts, there are many comprehensive essay questions, and you don't have a few years of accumulation, and you are at a loss for what to do with them. On the contrary, science subjects are able to improve their scores in a short period of time through continuous practice, also known as the sea of questions tactic. ”

Reading this, Takayasu Endo had a feeling of enlightenment.

"I see! It seems that I should adjust my intention and go to science. It's just that even if there are fewer competitors, it will still be very difficult to be admitted to the University of Tokyo......"

He was completely attracted to the content of the comics and couldn't wait to keep reading.

After Kenji Sakuragi set a goal for the students to study science at Todai, the plot continues to develop, and finally talks about the specific learning content.

How to learn Chinese and get a high score.

"There are 80 points in the Chinese language, and Chinese characters and ancient Chinese occupy 40 points, so let's start from this aspect." Kenji Sakuragi writes and draws on the blackboard while explaining to the two girls.

As soon as he saw that he spoke Chinese, especially ancient Chinese, Endo Takayasu felt his temples jump and his head hurt. And the two girls in the comics also reacted similarly to him.

"Your reaction, like that of most candidates, is that you feel that there is such a thing as classical Chinese, which is inexplicable, you can't read it at all, and you don't want to learn it. The examiners who produced the questions at the University of Tokyo naturally knew this situation, so the questions related to classical Chinese were very simple. This is your chance to get a lot of points and set yourself apart from other candidates! ”

Endo Takayasu smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I understand the truth, but classical Chinese is really difficult......"

He continued to read, but his expression gradually changed, and finally his mouth opened wide in surprise!

"It's hard and easy to read ancient texts. First of all, you have to know the era and the author, so that you can read the text. ”

In the manga, Kenji Sakuragi talks eloquently: "There was no electricity in ancient times, and there were no colorful entertainment activities in modern times. So those people, it's pretty boring. Most of the literati are of the aristocratic class, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so what will they do when they are idle? There is an ancient saying in China, called 'food and clothing and thinking**'. Yes, don't think of the ancients so noblely. When they're fine, they like to think about H things and write them down. Handed down to this day, it has become a so-called masterpiece, which makes ordinary people daunting. ”

After speaking, Kenji Sakuragi took out the work that almost everyone in Toei knows and knows - "The Tale of Genji".

However, he has two works in his hands, namely the comic version and the text version.

"What I just said is to dispel your fear of classical Chinese. Now, if you read the manga to understand what kind of story The Tale of Genji is about, and then you read the classical Chinese, your brain will be able to switch naturally. But you read a chapter of the comic, it's only five minutes, and then you have to write down the outline of the story......"

Seeing this, Takayasu Endo was simply stunned.

He has been struggling with the sea of books, and he never thought that there was such a way to learn classical Chinese.

"Want to give it a try! Want to give it a try now! ”

Takayasu Endo's heart was full of emotion. He stopped and picked up "young_animal" and walked around the bookstore, buying the manga version of "The Tale of Genji" and the novel version mentioned in the manga.

When he returned home, according to the learning method in "Dragon Sakura", Endo Takayasu found a stopwatch to time it, and began to study ancient literature with a new method......
