Chapter 384: I Never Expected!
Because it was the first essay contest, I had no previous experience, so the title of this contest was finally decided by He Yun and other judges after deliberation.
There are three essay questions, but students only need to choose any one.
One of the topics was written by He Yun, a great writer.
The title goes like this: "The Analects of Confucius has a cloud: Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself, talk about your views on Confucius's words, the genre is not limited, and the number of words is more than 800 words." ”
Although He Yun's essay is not limited to the genre, many students feel that writing an argumentative essay on this question is the best choice.
Therefore, many students who choose this question almost do not choose other genres in the end.
He Xiaolian is the same, after some careful consideration, she finally wrote an argumentative essay of about 1,000 words on the topic of "humility".
Two and a half hours later, it was time for the game.
Since almost all of the students present were leaders in the field of composition in their respective schools, 99 percent of the students completed their essays within the specified time.
After the staff put away the composition papers, the students slowly left the conference room.
At the same time, He Yun and other judges also came to the next office at this moment and began to select more than 100 essays.
However, before the selection, for the sake of fairness, more than 100 essays were randomly divided into seven parts, each of which was bound and obscured, and then it was sent to the seven judges.
He Yun also got a part of the obscure essay at this moment, he sat at his desk, took a sip of tea, and then started working.
Time passed little by little, and soon most of the day passed.
Except for eating, He Yun didn't even go to the toilet once, and he was always reviewing those essays.
According to the arrangement of the Education Committee in advance, each judge must score the essay, and the score will be based on a 100-point system.
This score will not be announced immediately, but will not be counted until all the judges have read the essay.
The purpose of this is naturally to be fair and just.
And because there is no need to cross-score the essays in the hands of the judges and judges, only at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, all seven judges have finished reading the essays.
After all, a person only has more than 20 essays, and the judges who read quickly, such as He Yun, only took more than three hours to score all the essays he reviewed.
As for the final statistical results, He Yun and the other seven judges did not know.
Because this statistical work is done by someone else.
…………
The next day.
Education Commission Compound.
In the office, everyone sat together, waiting for the final result.
Soon, the leaders of the education committee came.
They handed the final results to the judges.
At the same time, the essays were taken and distributed to everyone.
He Yun naturally also got the list of winners.
He compared the winners of the three categories with the essays, and read the essays that had been circulated.
A total of 27 essays in the three groups won awards, which is a relatively high proportion of awards.
After all, there are only more than 140 students who came here to participate in the finals.
In fact, the reason why such a high proportion of winners was set was that the Education Committee considered that it was the first session and mainly encouraged, so they finally divided it into three groups at the suggestion of He Yun, and the number of winners in each group was nine, that is, one first prize, three second prizes, and five third prizes.
"If you have any objections to this result, you can put it forward on the spot, and we will make certain adjustments to the results of the competition according to the opinions of the judges."
"Comrade He Yun, let you say it first, right?"
It was Director Peng of the Education Commission who spoke, and he was also the main leader of the essay contest.
"Let's let Mr. Xu say it first!" He Yun smiled and said very modestly.
"Okay! Then I will be disrespectful and throw a brick to everyone to attract jade. The old man Xu Zhenkang did not refuse, he nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"I think this essay can be selected for the second prize, and my reasons are as follows: this essay called "The Fence and the Big Yellow Dog" is poetic and picturesque, but also close to the theme, the words are simple but far-reaching, and the most important thing is that this student wrote about his warmth and ...... for his home."
Xu Zhenkang's words fell, and another old Chinese teacher also raised his hand and said: "I think the essay "Clouds of Hometown" can also be listed as the second prize in the junior high school student group, and my reasons are as follows......"
…………
At one time, six of the seven judges expressed their opinions.
They are all veteran teachers who have been engaged in Chinese teaching for many years, and some people are even writers like He Yun.
Although their fame is not as good as He Yun's, their foundation is absolutely solid.
The quality of the composition can be recognized at a glance.
Of course, it's normal for different people to have different perceptions of the same essay.
However, this does not mean that their level of review is low.
Just like He Yun, he has a different opinion on the objections raised by the other judges just now.
At this moment, I heard him say: "I have the following objections, first of all, the two essays "Red Leaves" and "Clouds of Hometown", although the words are used appropriately, but the shortcomings are also obvious, and the emotions expressed are relatively dull, since it is lyrical prose, this point must naturally be firmly grasped......
"There is also "The Fence and the Big Yellow Dog" mentioned by Mr. Xu just now, the title of the essay seems to be unpretentious, but it truly grasps the core idea of the composition, through the description of the change of a big yellow dog arriving at home and the fence at home, the author's attachment to the warm harbor of home, vividly and vividly ......"
…………
He Yun did not exaggerate, but evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of each essay from his own professional perspective.
He spoke for more than ten minutes, until his words fell, and everyone looked at him with shocked faces.
At this moment, they also had to sigh secretly, He Yun deserved to be a master of arts from Hunan Normal University, whether it was wording or others, he said it very well.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Director Peng of the Education Commission made some changes to the final list of winners after synthesizing everyone's opinions, especially He Yun's opinions.
…………
Ten o'clock in the morning.
In the meeting room of the Education Commission, on the rostrum, a banner has been hung on the meeting.
It reads "Yuanshui County's First Primary and Secondary School Students' Essay Contest Award Ceremony".
On the rostrum, the seven judges sat in turn, and the three leaders of the Education Committee also sat among them.
As Director Peng personally announced the final list of winners, bursts of joy rang out from time to time in the audience.
"The first prize winner in the high school category was...... Shen Qi, a student in the second and third classes of Yuanshui County No. 1 Middle School, "Don't be to others, be strict with yourself". The second prize in the high school group was won by Wan Jiayi, a student from the second and fourth classes of Yuanshui County No. 3 Middle School, "On the Water Side", Yuanshui County No. 7 Middle School ......"
"And He Xiaolian, a student in the second and third classes of Yuanshui County No. 1 Middle School, let us congratulate the above nine students with the warmest applause."
"I won the second prize for my essay? How is this possible? Could it be that the fourth brother gave me a high score? ”
Under the rostrum, He Xiaolian looked surprised, and she couldn't help muttering.
