Chapter 4 Composition Lesson

It's Friday again, and there are two composition classes in the morning, as usual. Chinese teacher Chen Yongkang walked into the classroom early with a fold of texts as usual. He was a tall and thin man, only in his fifties, but his hair had turned gray prematurely, and there was a large bald piece in the center of his head, which was as smooth as the bottom of a bright and clear spatula, so his classmates called him "Chen Shovel" behind his back. Every time he walked into the classroom with a composition, a sigh would immediately ring in the classroom: "It's time to write an essay again, sigh ......" Although it has long become a habit, it is still habitual to complain. Is this a contradiction or a weakness of human nature? 

Su Yu didn't complain, not because she didn't need to worry about the composition at all, but because she felt that since it was something that should come, it was useless to complain, so it was better to face it silently. Composition is really not a difficult thing for her, she has a natural sensitivity to language and writing, from learning pinyin to now, language has always been her strength, sometimes she didn't spend too much time on the language at all, and did not deliberately focus on training, but her composition is always handy, she just relies on an interest, a good sense of language that may be a talent, especially since the third year of junior high school, she has to spend a lot of time on making up for other lame subjects. 

Lin Bei looked at the faces with different expressions in the classroom and felt very interesting. She looked at Suyu beside her. I saw that she was quietly reading a Song Ci Anthology. Sometimes Lin Bei really admires Su Yu's unforgettable skills. As long as it was a poem she had read, she could remember it clearly. Lin Bei also likes poetry, but she just likes it but always memorizes it upside down, she has a way to mix Bai Juyi's "Baitou Yin" with Du Fu's "Beauty Walking", and sometimes memorizes the last sentence and grabs the next sentence from another poem to make up for it. But commenting on a poet's style and art can also be the first to say, and she has her own unique views on the poet's poetry. Sometimes when I talk to Su Yu, I am also very speculative, and I don't stop talking. In addition to liking poetry, Lin Bei also likes novels and prose, she has a natural hobby of literature, but not jade, Lin Bei often says that Suyu is a natural writer, and Suyu's talent in writing articles really makes Lin Bei sigh to herself. 

At this time, the Chinese teacher had already sent the composition to the students, but the two of them did not. The two of them were still sitting calmly in their seats, Su Yu was still looking at her Song Ci, and Lin Bei was still scanning the faces in the classroom with her cheeks back. This has become almost a habit, every composition class, the first process of "Chen Spatula" always talks about the situation and problems of the last composition, and the second process is to read out several sample essays, and two of them are likely to be Pan Suyu and Lin Bei. 

The class bell rang, Chen Yongkang finished the first process, began to read Pan Suyu's 1,000-word "Playing the Melody of Destiny", he read so engrossedly, so attentive, so emotional, after reading, he almost said with an exclamatory tone: "Pan Suyu's article is not only smooth and beautiful, the theme is prominent, but also full of passion for life, very infectious." This article can also be cited to prove the preciousness of man's spirit of fighting against fate and the truth that man's spirit will prevail. ”

After Chen Yongkang finished speaking, the audience made an exception and there was no laughter. First, the students were really moved by Su Yu's article, and secondly, Chen Yongkang changed his previous almost cookie-cutter comments this time, and finally turned out the new meaning of the topic. 

Chen Yongkang was very satisfied with the reaction from the audience, and read Lin Bei's article with emotion and concentration, after reading, he commented on Lin Bei's article, and just said two sentences, a boy in the last row suddenly said to his table seriously: "Lin Bei's article is simple and concise in language, lively and fluent, useful and meaningful, and to the point." ……”

The strange thing is that "Chen Pot Spatula" actually parroted with him, and the content is really not a few words. The two boys couldn't help but laugh. When the other students heard someone laughing, they couldn't hold back their laughter. 

Chen Yongkang looked at the laugher below inexplicably and angrily. What the hell is wrong with these kids? Is it laughing at yourself? What's wrong with you? He couldn't help but look at his clothes: they were neat. Could it be that it's the face? He subconsciously wiped his face with the back of his hand, and the laughter in the audience became even more fierce. He was a little embarrassed, and he was at a loss for a moment. But soon, he picked himself up, cleared his throat, coughed loudly, and said, "I found that some of our classmates are particularly not modest, and these two classmates write so well that they don't learn from others well, but play around." How can you improve with such a learning attitude? We should learn from others with an open mind, be good at learning from others' advantages, and make up for our own shortcomings, so that we can continue to make progress. And you ...... You guys are so unbelievable!" He spoke in a low voice, with great excitement and seriousness.

For the talent of these two schoolgirls. He was quite appreciative. After decades of teaching, he rarely met students with as much potential as theirs. Especially that Pan Suyu, her ability to manipulate words sometimes really surprised him, and some of her thoughts were even more mature and deep than her age. The imagination she expressed in the article, the feelings expressed and the knowledge embodied and the unique understanding of life and life really confuse him, sometimes he will pay special attention to this weak and quiet female student in class, she is always quiet in class, sometimes her eyes will reveal a kind of aura of understanding, sometimes it will seem to be thoughtful, a preoccupied look. But sometimes she squints her eyes and smiles softly.

Alas, how could he have thought of the real reason why his students laughed!
