Chapter 496 Make-up Exam
Han Han has two works in the preliminary round. As a first-year high school student, he wrote quite well.
The ratings of this competition account for half of the preliminary and semi-finals, and the scores of the two are added to determine the final result.
This regulation is based on the performance of the contestants.
Some people have mature personalities and are not nervous, and perform stably in the rematch, while others are young and do not adapt to the topic and composition on the spot, and are prone to nervousness and perform abnormally.
Adding the preliminary and semi-finals results looks more fair.
In fact, there are also many problems in doing so, which is unfair to those contestants who perform stably.
Because it is difficult to determine whether the composition of the preliminary round is written by the students themselves, the rematch should account for a greater proportion in the total score.
This is the first composition competition. The organizer has no experience and is not considerate enough. The judges don’t care much. They are just composition competitions for middle school students, so there is no need to be so strict.
Moreover, the composition competition is more about whether the contestants have the talent of writing, and inspiration is very important when writing.
There is no unified standard for talent and is more subjective, and simple scores cannot be used as the basis for judgment.
Therefore, no one takes this regulation seriously. The judges communicate more with each other, visit and taste delicious food in Shanghai, and take it as a trip.
Three days later, the rematch began and was located in a middle school in Shanghai.
The judges took out a composition topic from all the questions, which was the apple that was bitten.
One and a half hours later, the rematch of the first New Concept Composition Competition ended and entered the judges' marking stage.
The process of marking papers is quite boring. Those present are either famous writers or university professors. They will not be extremely surprised and circulated about the essays written by middle school students.
There is no possibility, I will just say that this article is OK, that article is good, and it will be done with a score.
Lin Zixuan looked through the composition of the rematch and found Han Han's name. After asking, he found out whether Han Han came to participate in the rematch.
"Maybe it was because I didn't receive the letter, or something was delayed," the magazine staff explained.
"New Sprout" magazine notifies contestants by letter, either to school or home, and contestants can basically receive notifications.
"This article in Han Han's preliminary competition is well written, and it's a pity that he didn't come to participate in the rematch." Lin Zixuan said regretfully.
"I have an impression of this student, and I wrote it well." The female writer surnamed Fang agreed.
"Competition is competition. If you miss the exam in school, you will definitely have no results." A university professor insisted.
"Isn't there still a chance to get a make-up exam if you miss the exam? Should Han Han come here to get a make-up exam?" Lin Zixuan suggested.
"Is this unfair to other contestants?" someone objected.
"It is not unfair to choose the re-examination questions, but I just think I should give him a chance." Lin Zixuan responded.
Everyone should discuss Han Han’s re-examination. It’s boring to mark the papers, and it’s good to find a topic to chat.
The writers have been getting along well with Lin Zixuan these days, and support Han Han to give Lin Zixuan a face.
Professors value rules and have rules and regulations for the competition, otherwise they will do whatever they want and oppose Han Han’s make-up exam.
The magazine people were in a dilemma. They were crossing the river by feeling the stones and had no experience in holding such competitions.
"Let's do this, first understand the student's situation. If we really don't receive the letter, it means that our work has not been done well. We should give him a chance to take the exam. If he receives the notice but does not come, then we don't have to worry about it." Lin Zixuan suggested, "Han Han should be a local from Shanghai City, which is convenient for him to get up."
The editor-in-chief of the magazine thought this was feasible, so he asked someone to follow the address of Han Han’s school in accordance with the preliminary round contribution.
After the review of the papers, the judges returned to the hotel.
"Teacher Lin, do you know that student?" said the female writer surnamed Fang curiously.
"If you don't know him, you just think you should give him a chance. It's just a matter of convenience for us, and maybe it will change his life. This is the same as when we first embarked on the literary path. Without the opportunity of editorial from a magazine, we wouldn't have reached this point." Lin Zixuan said.
"Teacher Lin not only knows how to be grateful, but also cherishes talent. No wonder he has achieved what he has achieved today." The female writer sighed.
Two days later, Lin Zixuan met Han Han.
This 16-year-old high school student from the suburbs of Shanghai City has long hair, is not talkative, and looks a bit handsome.
Han Han did not receive a notice of the rematch, and the magazine decided to let him hold the rematch alone.
At this time, the score statistics of other participants were completed and the ranking was determined. The fair person responsible for supervising the competition had left. That is to say, this make-up exam was conducted without the supervision of fair people.
The make-up exam is a question given by another judge.
The editor of "New Sprout" magazine threw a ball of paper into a water cup and asked Han Han to write the essay.
After the make-up exam, the judges quickly scored. Adding the scores in the preliminary round, Han Han's score was eligible to win the first prize.
The competition is divided into three groups.
The first group is divided into fresh senior high school and second-year high school students, the second group is first-year high school and junior high school students, and the third group is young people under the age of 30 except middle school students.
Han Han belongs to the second group, with five first prizes in the second group, and his score ranks fourth.
"New Sprout" magazine announced the results of the first New Concept Composition Competition to the outside world, and the judges accepted interviews from the media.
"These students are very talented in writing. Although we still use topic compositions, the form is more open and can cultivate students' divergent thinking and inspire their love for literature." Lin Zixuan told reporters.
In this case, of course, you have to say good things, and there is no reason to undermine the situation.
After dealing with the reporters, the magazine invited the judges to have a pretty sumptuous celebration banquet, and everyone will leave Shanghai City tomorrow.
The next day, Lin Zixuan took a plane back to the capital.
Before this, someone went to a hotel to find him. It was Han Han and his father. Han Han's father worked in a cultural station in districts and counties around Shanghai. He wrote some, but he was not very famous.
They learned from "New Sprout" magazine that Lin Zixuan proposed to let Han Han take the exam, so they came here to thank him.
"This is what I should do. It is a good thing for a child to like writing. He should be given this opportunity." Lin Zixuan said politely.
Han Han's father wanted to invite Lin Zixuan to dinner, but because he wanted to catch a plane, Lin Zixuan politely declined. He just drank a cup of tea in a teahouse near the hotel and chatted for more than ten minutes.
During the chat, Lin Zixuan knew that Han Han’s grades in school were not very good and were not very sociable.
"Work hard, don't care too much about other people's opinions, go your own way." Lin Zixuan encouraged.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Han Han nodded.
Lin Zixuan left the teahouse, took a taxi, and headed to the airport. (To be continued.)
