Chapter 152: Full marks in the monthly test (Thanks to Xiao Tong for the ramblings about the Silver Alliance!)
This question is easy; the key to scoring high lies in the entry point.
Unlike topic compositions, it has plenty of room for creative play.
Chen Yuan still remembered there was once a classic topic composition about 'scores and slaps and kisses'. The comic depicted that scoring 100 and then 98 would earn a slap, while scoring 55 and then 61 could get a kiss.
For topics like these, the direction is essentially set in stone.
It's just a direct lead to domestic education; its core is a critique of the Chinese educational approach.
These kinds of topics are tough to score high on.
Because they don't even allow for an off-the-beaten-path perspective.
Chen Yuan remembered Liu Fang showing them some stereotypical high-scoring essays, then gave an example of a wrong one written by someone in the class—fall behind and be beaten!
It's just to say it was novel, with a sort of atrophied beauty in simplicity.
