After the start of the new semester, in order to improve the morale of students and enhance the cohesion of the class, the school specially held a blackboard newspaper evaluation activity.
Xiang Nan went into battle personally as the squad leader and drew a picture of a galloping horse on the blackboard. The horse in the painting is agile, vigorous, free and elegant, with its head held high and neighing, and its hooves galloping like the wind, which means that thousands of horses are galloping and success is achieved.
As soon as this painting came out, the whole class was shocked.
"Monitor, you are so good at painting~"
"Squad leader, your painting of the galloping horse looks really good. I think it's even better than Xu Beihong's painting."
"Tiankuo, when did you develop your skills? You can actually draw so well."
The classmates were all surprised.
Xiang Nan smiled reservedly.
In fact, his horse painting can only be regarded as good. Compared with the masters of horse painting, such as Xu Beihong, Li Gonglin, Zhao Mengfu, Han Qian, etc., there is a big gap. But it's enough to overwhelm most people.
The picture of galloping horses drawn by Xiang Nan not only amazed this class, but also attracted other classes to watch. Looking at the lifelike and vivid galloping horses on the blackboard, I can't help but marvel.
Even Ling Xiangqian was full of praise, "Tiankuo, I didn't expect you to be so good at painting."
"I learned some when I was a kid, but I'm actually already unfamiliar with it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"No way, the painting is very good." Ling Xiangqian smiled, "I learned piano when I was a child, but I haven't practiced it for a long time."
"Really?! That's great! I've always felt that girls who can play the piano are particularly temperamental and charming." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If I have the chance, I really want to hear you play a song."
"Well, there must be a chance." After hearing what he said, Ling Xiangqian smiled happily.
…
"Tiankuo, in this blackboard competition, your class's blackboard newspaper will definitely take first place." Ling Xiangqian sighed again, "It's not like our class, which has all kinds of constraints. It can't draw well, and it always throws cold water on it, which makes it difficult for us to do so. People are angry.”
Because she was parachuted in as squad leader of Class 3, the classmates of Class 3 were very dissatisfied and naturally did not support her work. They said weird things, poured cold water on her, and held back her efforts, which made her work very hard as the squad leader.
"Don't be angry. I think it's because we have just been divided into classes. Everyone lacks a sense of belonging and honor for the new class, so they don't focus on one place." Xiang Nan comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll see it later." Things will definitely change one day."
"How do you know?" Ling Xiangqian asked doubtfully.
"Because you are a good person. Excellent, kind, and diligent." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You were parachuted from Class 1 to Class 3 to be the squad leader. The classmates in Class 3 don't know you well enough, so they will naturally reject you.
But after they get along with you for a while, they will know that you are actually very cute and sincere, and they will naturally unite around you, squad leader Lingda. "
Ling Xiangqian couldn't help but laugh happily when he heard him praising her, "How can I not be as good as you?"
"Actually, you said it better than me." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Sissi, don't be discouraged, don't be depressed, believe in yourself, it will be fine."
"Yeah." Ling Xiangqian smiled and nodded.
After hearing Xiang Nan's explanation, she felt much better.
…
Two days later, the results of the semester exam were released.
The school posted the top fifty students in grade on the bulletin board, which was called the "big list".
"Wow, Chu Tiankuo is number one in grade again!"
"I got perfect scores in four subjects, but I lost eight points in English and Chinese. Oh my god!"
"He surpassed the second place by a full 68 points. Oh my God, he is such a god!"
The students gathered in front of the bulletin board and chatted.
"Tiankuo, how can you achieve such good results in the exam? Please teach me some experience."
"Yes, monitor, how did you achieve perfect scores in four subjects? It's amazing!"
"Monitor, you shouldn't be reading all this summer vacation! Don't be like this, at least leave some way for us scumbags to survive."
A class of classmates also exclaimed in surprise.
Although Chu Tiankuo's performance has always been excellent, ranking first in the rankings all year round, the gap between him and the second place was not that big before, only seven or eight points at most, which made people feel that he still had the strength to fight.
But now he has perfect scores in four subjects, with a total score of 742 points, 68 points higher than the second place, which makes people feel a little desperate.
"Actually, it's not bad. Do more questions. Once you develop a feel for the questions, it will be much easier to do the questions again." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, everyone became even more desperate.
…
"Okay, the results of the school entrance examination have been released, and everyone has seen their level." After class, the head teacher Yu Dan said with a cold face, "Except for Chu Tiankuo, the scores of other students have declined. It shows that you didn't study hard during the summer vacation.
You must know that learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. When you are lazy and having fun, other students are studying, and your grades will fall behind.
Why can't you study like Chu Tiankuo? He ranked first in his grade in the final exam last semester, and he is still first in grade now. Full marks in four subjects, but some points were deducted for Chinese reading comprehension, composition, and English writing.
How outstanding, how outstanding, it fully shows that Chu Tiankuo still did not relax his studies during the summer vacation, so that he can achieve such outstanding results.
You must follow his example in the future and never forget to learn from him anytime and anywhere. Okay, let’s go to class! "
In addition to Yu Dan, many teachers in other classes also set Xiang Nan as a role model and called on students to learn from him.
"This is a selection of outstanding essays from the first semester exam. Everyone, please take a look at them carefully. Especially the essays by Chu Tiankuo from Class 1, Grade 2, Ling Xiangqian from Class 3, Grade 2, and Luo Zhi from Class 3, Grade 3.
Take a look at how they approach, solve, and point out topics, learn from their writing style, and look at their organization. "The Chinese teacher recommended.
"Look at classmate Chu Tiankuo's test paper. The handwriting is so neat, clean and beautiful, and every word looks like it was printed. To be honest, just such a neat paper is worth ten extra points.
You all must learn from him. Especially those students who are ungrateful should study hard. You must know that whether the paper is neat and tidy and whether the handwriting is beautiful will affect the teacher's judgment.
If your first impression is not good, will you still get a high score? "The English teacher also commented.
The praise of these teachers made Xiang Nan's reputation in Zhenhua even higher.
Even the juniors and junior girls in the first grade of high school all admired him.
…
"Tiankuo, you did really well in the exam this time." Ling Xiangqian said with admiration.
With perfect scores in four subjects and a total score of 742, it sounds like a myth.
"You're not bad, you're also number one in grade." Xiang Nan also praised with a smile.
Ling Xiangqian also took the first place in the liberal arts class this time, and she is also very strong.
"Forget it, I'm a full eighty points behind you." Ling Xiangqian waved her hand and said, "Tiankuo, how did you learn it? Can you teach me?"
"Learning methods vary from person to person, and mine may not be suitable for you. But I think that if you do more questions and practice more, keep a calm mind, and perform steadily, you will definitely get good results based on your ability." Xiang Nan suggested with a smile. .
Both Ling Xiangqian and Yu Huai were under too much pressure, which led to an unbalanced mentality. The more they wanted to do well in the exam, the more they failed in the exam, so that they could not show their strength.
"Yeah." Ling Xiangqian nodded.
