"The results of this contest are now announced. ”

The host teacher came to the stage, and the display screen behind her also showed the final results of the contestants as she read it out.

Chen Yixin ranked fifth with a total score of 111 points, and the female students from the experimental school ranked sixth with 108 points. In addition to one male student from the Department of Foreign Trade, the other three are all English majors.

It can be said that being able to reach the top five in a competition full of masters has already exploded the attention of teachers.

Before that, the only middle school student that the teachers were optimistic about was the female classmate from the experimental school.

This time, the translation question is a bit difficult, and many English major college students can't fully interpret the scientific and technological text, but fortunately, Chen Yixin has been in contact with it before and is familiar with some commonly used grammar and interpretation techniques, which has opened up the gap with others.

But looking at the use of word grammar, she is still weaker.

After the competition, there is more than half a month of rest, and after the start of school, we will focus on training and go to the host city for the semi-finals.

Chen Yixin wanted to give up, she felt that this competition was too difficult, and the short training camp could not improve her English level too much.

Each provincial capital selects six people to participate in the training camp, and after the training camp is the semi-final, with only a 20% winning rate. In other words, a province is lucky to have two people win, and the winner participates in the final round.

She felt that it was not worth it to waste half a month to participate in a competition that she knew was not likely to win, but her English teacher thought that she could give it a try.

"Your grades are very stable, and there is no problem with taking the provincial exam. If you can win the first prize in this competition, you can get extra points. ”

The English teacher was very rigorous and helped her do the analysis.

A big question is worth 12 points, and if you can win a prize in the competition, you can at least add 10 points. Individual majors can also be admitted in advance, and the cost performance is very gratifying.

"Even if you don't win the award in the end, you've broadened your horizons. It's a rare experience in life, and I don't want you to give up. ”

It's true that high school students are not fundamentally equal to college students. But Chen Yixin's strength is not weak, she is just not familiar with the content of the competition, after the training camp, even if she can't win the award, it is very helpful for her English in the college entrance examination.

After thinking about it for a day, Chen Yixin agreed to continue the competition.

The intensive training began on September 10 and was held in the capital city of Zhejiang Province, which means that Chen Yixin will have to do all his summer homework within a week, and set off for Zhejiang Province immediately after taking the entrance exam.

The homework is okay, the teachers also know that she is very busy during the summer vacation, and some of the copied homework is exempted for her, and even mathematics and physics only need to do a few big questions at the back of the test paper, and the basic questions in front can be omitted or optional.

As a result, her homework has been reduced by more than a third, which is more than enough time to complete in a week, and she can still find time to review.

Entrance exams for the third year of high school are scheduled three days before the start of the semester. In addition to the subjects to be taken this semester, the three days are particularly tight to complete.

The entrance exam is not very difficult, and it is mainly to see if the students have indulged themselves in the summer vacation. Eighty percent of the content of the examination was reviewed, and 20 percent of the new courses were reviewed.

This new lesson does not refer to the content of the textbook, they have already completed the textbook at the end of the last semester. The new course here is the in-depth training of the extension, and the content of the preview materials sent before the holiday.

Chen Yixin estimated his score after the exam, and he felt that it was similar to last semester, or even better. After all, she really grasped every minute and every second this summer.

After the incident of Ran Zhe last semester, the overall atmosphere of this semester is much heavier. All the students in the third year of high school were moved to another school building, which was completely separated from the second year of high school and the new first year of high school.

Hou Wen showed his face when school started, and then he kept soaking in the competition class. Chen Yixin also cared about it, and saw that in addition to losing some weight, he was in a good mental state, so he didn't bother him.

Wan Ning came back after the entrance exam and brought a gift to Chen Yixin.

"Qiu Xu and the others plan to take classes over there for a year and take the channel of exchange students. ”

Wanning couldn't eat Western food abroad, and after coming back, even the fried rice that he had always disliked before felt very fragrant.

"There are many such students in their experimental school, who go abroad in advance to study in the preparatory department in the third year of high school, come back to take the graduation exam, and then see if they can pass the preparatory department after getting the graduation certificate. ”

Chen Yixin didn't study and didn't know anything about this.

"We also have seven places in our school this year, do you have any plans for that?"

No. 1 Middle School is the first time to have exchange students, the fees are not low, and there are also requirements for grades, which is different from the standards of later international students. These exchange students are in full study after the past, and the exams are the same as those of the exchange school students. The only requirement is that after being admitted to the university, you must work in the local area for three to five years after graduation, or take money to ransom people.

For students with middle to upper grades, who have an economic foundation at home and can take care of themselves, this road is obviously a gilded road.

The notice sent by the Education Commission is that the registration is voluntary, and then sorted from high to low, and the statistical data is submitted to the friendly school for review, and only those who pass can have the quota of exchange students. But everyone knows that if there is something capable at home, as long as it is not too bad, it will definitely be easier to get a place than others.

"After this exchange place is in hand, you have to pay a deposit. I heard them say that it ranges from 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, depending on which school you go to at that time. After having a security deposit, it is possible to pass the visa application, otherwise you will not be able to go. ”

Wan Ning was a little tempted, and before coming to school, he looked for connections to make these things clear.

"Your grades are good, do you want to give it a try?"

It's impossible to say that he is not impressed, but Chen Yixin thought about the money in his hand, and still shook his head and refused.

The deposit of 300,000 yuan cannot be moved, and you have to prepare additional living expenses and tuition fees for each month. Exchange students like them are not eligible to apply for scholarships, so they rely on the support of their families financially, and don't have any extravagant hopes if they don't have any foundation.

Wan Ning also knew that although the Chen family did not have to worry about eating and drinking, it was impossible to take tens of millions of dollars.

Even if it was his house, if he really wanted to go, he had to go to a relative's house to borrow it. It's just that his parents work okay, and it's not that they can't afford it, and people are willing to sell it.

After Wan Ning figured this out, he was a little irritable.

He didn't really want to mix with Qiu Xu and them, most of the people in that circle were rich second generation and ***, to be honest, there weren't many good learners, and none of them had low emotional intelligence. You can't say that people just go out to gild, because studying abroad is still a little different from that in China, and those with good grades may not be able to adapt to foreign teaching methods.

Looking at Wan Ning's tangled expression, Chen Yixin didn't say much, after all, the relationship between them was not as close as that of Hou Wen Pompeii, and they must not be superficial.
