Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 31: Exam

Alina remembered that after getting the paper, they should first checked it to see if it was not printed clearly or had missing pages.

Then they had to fill in the class, student number and name clearly. As expected, just as she filled in the information, she heard Mr. Su reminding them to fill in the class, student number and name.

Alina also remembered that the questions should be read carefully. If you misunderstood the question, all you did was in vain.

There were usually two test papers for the English exam, eight pages in total. You should start with the first question, write down answers for questions you know, and skip for the moment any questions you don't know.

Besides, the handwriting should be neat. Especially for the composition. If the handwriting was neat and impressed the teacher, the teacher would give a high score.

Her teacher had ever told her that it was impossible for a teacher to read all the compositions one by one. The teacher usually read the beginning, the middle and the end of the composition.

As long as the composition met the requirements and the handwriting was good, the composition would pass. But if the handwriting was bad, no matter how good the composition was, the score would not be high.

Finally, for the last half an hour, you should not think about the questions you didn't know. You should use that time to go over the questions you had answered.

All these were Alina's experience, which could be applied to any exam.

Alina answered the questions without any difficulty. Then she started to think over the composition.

The composition was about a person who was closest to you in no less than 800 words.

After a moment's thought, Alina began to write. The person closest to her, of course, was her mother.

When she thought of her, a thousand things came to her mind that she had done for her. Thinking that she would never see her again, Alina almost cried.

When she was a student, she also wrote about her mother. But there was no composition so full of emotion like this one.

After finishing her composition, Alina went over her paper carefully from beginning to end, and then she handed it in.

She was the first to hand in her paper. When she stood up to ask if she could hand in the paper, the head teacher asked her not to hurry and to check it again.

Alina said calmly that she had checked. Then she handed in the paper and walked out of the classroom. It was quiet outside.

She stood upstairs and looked around the strange campus. There was no one on the playground except for a tree.

She had seen closely the tree, which was a camphor tree over three hundred years old. It was standing there before the school was founded.

Three hundred years were a long time. The trees that grew with it, even the hills, no longer existed. Would the tree feel lonely?

A tinkle... The bell rang and interrupted Alina's thought.

This was the bell for a class, and it also indicated that there were only 15 minutes left before the end of the exam.

At this time, some students had already walked out of the classroom.

After handing in the paper, Rose ran out and patted on Alina's shoulder, "Why did you hand in your paper so early? I thought it was almost time. I was so anxious! By the way, how is your composition? Have you written eight hundred words?"

Alina took her hand off her shoulder and laid it on the railing. She said, "I just filled all grids. I didn't count the words."

Rose bent over the railing. Upon hearing Alina's words, she turned her head and praised, "You've filled all grids! There should be a thousand words! You're awesome!"

"I just had a sudden inspiration."

"That's unfair! Why does inspiration go to you but not me? I was exhausted after I wrote that 800 words."

Alina looked at the distance, smiled and said nothing.

Rose leaned against the railing and said to Alina, "Let's check the answers, shall we? Which one do you choose for the first question?"

"C."

"Great! I also choose C! What about the second question?"

More and more students handed in their papers, and more and more of them checked the answers with each other. After a 15-minute break, there was a math exam.

Before the exam, Rose said to Alina, "The head teacher invigilated the English exam, and he certainly will not invigilate the math exam. You must take care of me!"

Alina gave her an Ok gesture.

When the bell rang, the invigilator came in with the test paper. The students looked at him in surprise. Why did the head teacher invigilate again?

Alina turned around and gave Rose a helpless look. 'Rely on yourself, ' she thought.

Rose replied with a mournful expression.

Alina was much more cautious about math. She was easy to mistake some similar formulas. If she made a mistake in the formula, the answer would be wrong too.

In the middle of the math exam, many students in the back two rows began to stare blankly.

Math was not like English. You could only get the right answer through the correct calculation. If you didn't know how to do it, you could only write "solution" and then stare blankly.

Unfortunately, no matter how well your "solution" was written, the teacher would not give you a mark.

About two thirds of the time passed. Looking at the blank paper, Rose could not wait anymore. When the invigilator was not paying attention, she whispered to Alina, "Alaina... Alaina..."

Alina looked back at her.

Rose quickly pointed to a choice question.

At the same time, Alina reached out three fingers behind her to gesture for C.

Rose was happy to see that. When she wanted to point to another question, the invigilator came over and stood at the back.

Now she couldn't do anything. She was really anxious!

But the invigilator was standing not far away from her, with no sign of moving.

Without Rose's disturbance, Alina could focus on her exam.

When the bell rang, the head teacher patted the desk and said, "Time is up. Stop writing, and hand in the test paper now. Hurry up!"

One of the students stood up and shouted, "Wait a minute, I forgot to write my name!" Although he said so, he looked around, hoping to get some answers.

Standing on the platform, the head teacher had a panoramic view of his every movement. He was going to laugh, "Allen, stop looking. Hand in the test paper quickly, or you will get a zero!"

"No, no. I'm giving it to you right now!" Allen quickly wrote down his name and handed it in.

After handing in the test paper, everyone sighed and said that the math exam was too difficult!

After the math exam, it was twelve o 'clock. Since all students in the school took the monthly exam today, the whole canteen was full of voices discussing the exam.
