"The process of answering questions is just a process that allows you to quote scriptures, draw lessons from history, and use the words of saints to demonstrate your knowledge, opinions, and strategies... so as to convince the examiner to agree with you."
After six master classes, just before the end of the "mandatory famous teacher class", the female teacher from before appeared in front of Sheng Yuan again and spoke to her leisurely.
Shengyuan tasted her words carefully and silently recorded what she said.
"So when answering questions, don't be radical in your attitude. Being radical will make you look frivolous, naive, and superficial. Some examiners who are more lenient towards themselves than others may think that you cannot be trusted with important tasks and need to grow up and experience, thus deposing you."
Sheng Yuan's pen tip paused slightly, feeling as if the gentleman was mocking.
Of course, before she could think about it, she heard the female gentleman say: "Of course, this does not mean that you can repeat the tactics, strategies, and methods of your predecessors over and over again. The repetition mentioned here does not just mean that you keep mentioning the same thing. Personal political opinions, this kind of repetition can be the opinions of different people in a school of thought; it can also be the words of debate between different factions.
Remember, the thoughts and opinions of predecessors can be used as the main theme, extension, and suggestion, but they cannot be the entire answer to your question. "
Sheng Yuan felt that she understood, but when she thought about it, there seemed to be some barriers that she needed to figure out on her own.
But it doesn't matter, just "have a pen in your hand and remember, remember, remember".
"I just told you not to keep repeating the opinions of your predecessors, because that will make you appear to have no opinion, but similarly, you cannot speak freely just because you can talk on paper, without considering the actual situation, the trend of the court at that time, and Considering the atmosphere of the monarch and his ministers at that time, you can say whatever you want."
Seeing that Sheng Yuan's notes were following, the female gentleman then reminded her: "Of course, more importantly, you can't talk big or empty words on the answer sheet."
At this point, the female gentleman paused again.
Sheng Yuan, who had already written these words, couldn't help but look up.
For a moment, she seemed to see a flash of sarcasm in the female gentleman's eyes.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't see it clearly.
There was still unspeakable sarcasm in the corner of this female gentleman's mouth.
"If you still have some insights, but you don't have enough wisdom, um, to expand this insight, then you need to control your writing and don't let your answers reveal Zhao Kuo's temperament, no matter it is Whether you are too arrogant and aloof, or too ethereal and perfect, it is easy for some examiners who think they are mature to see your shadow."
Having said this, the female teacher looked at Sheng Yuan with a half-smile: "Do you think that after seeing your own shadow, the examiners will lead the candidates who answered the questions as their confidants? How is it possible! Most of them can become angry in anger After that, it was pretty good to hold back my anger."
"..." Sheng Yuan blinked as she looked at the female gentleman who was becoming more and more inspired.
"Many candidates have the idea of taking tricks when answering questions. They may try to flatter those in power, the emperor, powerful ministers, nobles... Of course, this is a psychological quality that every candidate must have. After all, it controls your final score and future. Yes, in many cases it is these superiors.
Remember, most of the time no one will choose someone who is clearly against you, even if the other person is a very rare talent.
Of course, this is not absolute, but you can't make a fool of yourself by betting on your career.
Therefore, it is necessary to follow the trend in the examination room. I know that many candidates are too high-spirited, and it takes a lot of perseverance and mental strength for them to do this.
But this won't be difficult for you. "
Sheng Yuan looked at the female gentleman looking at her with determination, and inexplicably wanted to be embarrassed.
This sentence...should be a compliment, right? !
The female gentleman bent her lips and looked away, looking at the light screen: "Weigh the attitude of the superior at that time and tilt it. This is a wise choice, but you can flatter, but you can't flatter too much. Otherwise, it will Some examiners thought that the person who answered the question had the qualities of a sycophant and a slanderer, so he was dismissed."
Sheng Yuan nodded and expressed that he was very educated. At the same time, the word "however" came to his mind.
"However..." Almost at the same time, the female gentleman's tone rose slightly, "The temperament in your answer sheet must not be too frank! In other words, don't make yourself look like an official. Otherwise, you may touch a lot of people. The examiners' old wounds reminded them of their fear of being controlled by the officials in court, and they were then angered."
Sheng Yuan quickly wrote these down and immediately looked up at the female gentleman.
She just felt that the gentleman's gaze seemed to be smiling.
The female gentleman's expression didn't seem to change, it was still the same as before, slightly indifferent.
"Don't let your answers look false and empty. It will easily remind some examiners that you are also incompetent. In other words, you can't let your position be too obvious on the answer sheet, even if the position you insist on is different from that of your marking examiner. They are unanimous.
You know, in the officialdom, compromise is a science. Even if you are known to be a rising star in the same camp and a talent that can be made, when necessary, you may have become a compromise before you know it and before you have heard of it. The victims were eliminated. "
When Sheng Yuan heard this, she felt more and more wrong. Was the female gentleman just talking about answering skills and precautions?
Sheng Yuan couldn't help but look at the other party again. Sheng Yuan still couldn't read any meaning from the almost expressionless face of the other party.
"You must always remember that the examination paper is indeed the stage for you to compete, but it is not the place to show your talents as an official. You can show your talents for the first time, but what you want to show is your potential, understand?"
Facing the female gentleman's question, Sheng Yuan nodded vigorously.
Now that she heard it, she seemed to understand.
Seeing that she nodded like she was not pretending, the female teacher suddenly raised the corner of her mouth slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The words in the answer sheet do not need to be too flowery, especially when you know that the candidates in the same examination room are good at using flowery words, then you should pay attention. You can choose to be simple and heavy.”
At this point, the female gentleman couldn't help but carefully warned: "When I say simplicity, I mean words that can make people feel down-to-earth. They are down-to-earth, concrete, and realistic words."
Sensing the female teacher's intention to inquire, Sheng Yuan wrote down her notes and immediately nodded vigorously to show that she understood.
The female gentleman raised her lips and continued: "I need to remind you candidates again and again that in the process of answering questions, do not show your ambitions too much, but let the marking officer see clearly how you view the problem, handle the problem, and solve the problem well. ideas.
Remember, what you have to show is the process of thinking about the problem, your ability to continue to grow, and your ability to persuade. "
Sheng Yuan suddenly realized after hearing the end.
Seeing that she really understood, the female teacher finally showed the smile she had been smiling for so long. She nodded slightly towards Sheng Yuan, with a flash of expectation in her eyes, but she announced without hesitation: "Then, the class is over!"
