Chapter 5 Composition Class, A Small Test of Cow Knife

  "But if Mom doesn't work in finance anymore, things will get busy. Your father is an engineer and has to travel for work all the time, so what about you and your sister?" Mom said worriedly.

  Zhang Yue thought for a moment and comforted her mother: "Why don't you discuss with Uncle, he and Auntie are not busy, see if they can bring Grandpa and Grandma over? I miss Grandma."

  Composition class, Teacher Chen was writing seriously on the blackboard, while Zhang Yue looked at him speechlessly from below.

  "Write about something meaningful", "Write about something that moved me", "Write about something that left a deep impression on me"... Teacher Chen wrote a whole blackboard of essay topics, and had everyone copy them down, make outlines, and write content summaries.

  Alas, the essays from that era were all formulaic, with countless topics applicable to a single event. I recall how kids from other schools would ask me for our school's exam papers because we were a key school and they thought our guesses were accurate. It made Zhang Yue feel smug for a long time.

  But now, Zhang Yue, who is already over 40 in psychological age, sits there and thinks about what she wants to write, it's really painful.

  "Zhang Yue, have you finished copying?" Teacher Chen turned her head to see her proud student leaning against the wall in a daze, and couldn't help but furrow her brow.

  "Ah," hearing the teacher call her name, Zhang Yue hastily pulled back her thoughts, looking at the many composition topics, pondering for a moment, before starting to write.

  Teacher Chen finished writing on the blackboard and walked to Zhang Yue's side. Looking at the student who was still in a daze just now, he couldn't help but feel strange about her scribbling away. He reached out and took Zhang Yue's notebook, angrily asking: "Didn't you hear my request earlier? I asked you to write an outline, what are you doing writing essays here?! You can finish so many of them?!"

  Zhang Yue stuck out her tongue, smiled and pulled at Teacher Chen's hem, saying softly: "Teacher Chen, let's make a deal. Actually, I can write these compositions, and I know how not to go off topic. How about this? I'll seriously write one piece, and if you think it's okay, when the time comes for us to advance to the next grade, my grades won't be affected, so please, high and mighty sir, don't make me write these anymore, okay?"

  Watching his favorite student, with a spoiled and coquettish expression, setting conditions for himself, the look and demeanor were exactly the same as when his daughter was young. Even Chen, a veteran teacher with over 30 years of experience, couldn't help but soften his heart.

  "After some thought, I said with a serious face: 'You write this composition well, and then I'll consider it.'"

  Haha, isn't this a roundabout way of agreeing? Zhang Yue felt secretly pleased in her heart. With the brush moving as if guided by divine inspiration, she handed it over to the teacher in less than twenty minutes.

  Teacher Chen looked at the composition handed in by Zhang Yue, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of delight. In her impression, Zhang Yue was that kind of student who was a little clever, had a little talent, but also a bit frivolous.

  She is very beautiful, tall and slender, with fair skin. She is the kind of girl who is lovely but not aware of it. She always wears a ponytail and walks as if she has springs under her feet, bouncing up and down all the time. Her personality is very outgoing, and she gets along well with her classmates. In the past, she was the class's art committee member. After Zheng Xiaohui transferred to their school, she took the initiative to find herself and suggested stepping down. As she put it in her own words: "Zheng Xiaohui is really too amazing, I don't think it would be fair for me to be the art committee member instead of her."

  Her writing is very good, with a smooth and flowing style. Perhaps it's because she reads more books, but the way she uses words and phrases can make people feel her unique spirit. Although she has some bad habits, as a teacher and also as a mother of a girl, I couldn't help but have a soft spot for such a student.

  So, for Zhang Yue, Teacher Chen habitually often knocks and knocks, hoping she can be more obedient and down-to-earth. Afraid that because of her own good looks, she will relax herself and her grades will drop faster than a slide.

  After entering the sixth grade, for several students in the class with relatively large fluctuations in grades but still hopeful, she made home visits one by one. She exchanged ideas with parents and also put forward some requirements.

  It was after this home visit that Teacher Chen discovered a huge change in Zhang Yue. She hadn't seen her being particularly diligent, but her grades had become steadily improving. Most importantly, she could clearly feel that Zhang Yue had gained a sense of calmness and confidence, as if an aura had emerged from within her, making people want to follow her and unable to ignore her.

  This composition, "A memorable event", she wrote about the summer camp in Qingdao when she was in fourth grade. Although the number of words is not many, the theme is clear and the text is fresh. In her eyes as an old teacher, this is obviously a very good model essay, it's definitely a full score composition during exams!
