Chapter 9: This is an essay question

The examination duration for the essay is two and a half hours

Outside the examination room, Dong Xuebin and Xiao Dong ran into each other in the corridor

Half an hour before the exam. Sitting in examination room 026, Dong Xuebin noticed the time passing slowly and became acutely aware of the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the classroom. Perhaps everyone had not performed well in the aptitude test, which affected their mood for the afternoon exam, as each person's face bore a hint of seriousness and gravity.

It is broken

He stood there in a daze: "Eh?"

Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Don't worry about me; if you are fine, then I am fine."

Our country has abundant marine resources, yet per capita possession is low. The Bohai Sea is the largest inland sea in our country and is of great importance to the economy of Northeast China

Seeing that half an hour had passed, Dong Xuebin no longer pondered and picked up his pen to begin answering quickly

Isn't it Grandpa Hu's phone? That day he called himself from the hospital's phone

He went to the nurse's station again to ask for Grandpa Hu's phone number and address, but the nurse said that the hospital has regulations and cannot disclose patient information

At 1:30, the examination began

Is this the essay question

He asked himself three times in a row, yet he still found it hard to believe his own eyes

The civil service examination has concluded

Among ten people, nine appear to be frowning, as if none of them performed well in the exam

Dong Xuebin is not skilled in essay writing, particularly lacking in this area. Although Grandpa Hu had tutored him for a few days, resulting in a slight improvement, his foundation is still too weak. Originally, Dong Xuebin had good intentions; he thought that if the quantitative ability test were a bit easier, he could rely on his own strength to answer questions and strive to score a few more points. Then, during the essay exam, he could use BACK to cheat by taking someone else's paper. Since the quantitative ability test consists entirely of multiple-choice questions, there is a 25% chance of guessing correctly. However, the essay is different; it is not so easy to fool around with.

It assesses the candidates' seven abilities: reading comprehension, analytical judgment, the ability to identify and solve problems, language expression, stylistic writing, application of current political affairs, and administrative management. The answers are not singular, possessing a somewhat essay-like nature, allowing for considerable flexibility

I also did poorly on the exam, sigh, I will take it again next year

On the playground, complaints came from all directions, "Oh no, this time it's over, the questions are too difficult"

In such a situation of cheating, if he still fails the written exam, he might as well find a block of tofu to crash into and end it all

If the exam difficulty is similar to that of the morning session, I would certainly not score well on the essay portion.

As soon as he received the exam paper, Dong Xuebin hurriedly began working on the first question

Indeed, the civil service examination is challenging enough, and I didn't expect the essay section to be so difficult, especially the third question. How many people can actually answer it correctly

What should I do

What is wrong with you? The invigilator turned with a stern face and said, "Do the questions yourself, and do not make any noise!"

Although Dong Xuebin had no idea at all, he still stubbornly said: "It's you who should be careful, don't mess it up."

Is this really the end? Am I truly destined to have no connection with holding an official position?

Dong Xuebin was taken aback and responded with a smile, his expression stiff as he turned to walk outside. What is going on? What exactly is happening with the essay exam?

Dong Xuebin defiantly looked back at him and said, "You wouldn't have failed the exam, would you?"

Outside, waiting for the two were Qu Yunxuan and Aunt Xu, who perhaps wanted to avoid putting pressure on them. After seeing them come out, neither asked how the exam went or anything of that sort. They had a meal at the dumpling restaurant near the west gate of No. 15 Middle School, and before they knew it, it was already time for the afternoon exam

Hmph! Xiao Dong turned and entered the classroom

The invigilator's attention was constantly focused on Dong Xuebin, as if suspecting him of cheating. After walking around for a while, he stood behind him and glanced at the answer sheet. After a moment, the invigilator showed a hint of surprise, and only after the exam ended and the bell rang did he lift his head, sealing the answer sheets submitted by everyone together with another invigilator.

When Dong Xuebin was about to leave, the invigilator nodded at him appreciatively and revealed a smile

Upon entering the comprehensive oncology department, he was surprised to find that Grandpa Hu's ward was empty, and even his belongings were gone. After asking a nurse, he learned that the old gentleman had been discharged from the hospital last night, likely shortly after Dong Xuebin had left. He immediately took out his phone and found the number that Grandpa Hu had called him from that day. When he dialed it, a female voice answered, "Hello, this is the inpatient department of the oncology hospital"

Before Mother and Qu Yunxuan could react, Dong Xuebin had already reached out to hail a taxi, an Elantra, by the roadside

Everyone has gradually left for No. 15 Middle School

I have even lost the desire to eat.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebin exclaimed in surprise, blinking his eyes in disbelief, "Could it be? Why does this seem so familiar?"

After reading through the materials and glancing at the requirements of the questions, he felt disheartened. The exam indeed continued the difficulty level of the morning's assessment. Dong Xuebin read the entire text twice but still could not comprehend its meaning, let alone how to respond according to the requirements of the questions; he was completely at a loss.

Having passed an examination, Dong Xuebin felt much more relaxed; however, the thought of the essay exam he had to take in the afternoon gave him a headache again

In response to the uncivilized behaviors exhibited by our citizens during travel, I would like to propose a set of recommendations to the tourism authorities. Firstly, it is essential to enhance public awareness regarding civilized travel. This can be achieved through the implementation of educational campaigns that highlight the importance of respecting local customs and regulations. Utilizing social media platforms and travel websites to disseminate information can effectively reach a broader audience. Secondly, establishing a reward and punishment system could encourage positive behavior among travelers. For instance, those who demonstrate exemplary conduct could be recognized through public commendations or discounts on future travel packages, while those who engage in uncivilized actions could face penalties, such as fines or travel bans. Thirdly, collaboration with local governments and communities is crucial. By involving them in the development of tourism policies, we can ensure that the interests of both travelers and residents are considered. This partnership can also facilitate the creation of guidelines that promote respectful interactions between tourists and locals. Lastly, enhancing the availability of resources for travelers, such as brochures and mobile applications that provide information on local etiquette and regulations, can significantly improve their understanding and compliance. In conclusion, by focusing on education, incentivization, community collaboration, and resource availability, we can foster a more civilized travel environment for our citizens.

He no longer hopes to answer many essay questions correctly; he only wishes that his score will not be too low. In this case, with his certain advantage in the ability test, he might still have a slight chance of exceeding the baseline.

Facing that illness, Dong Xuebin bowed deeply three times.

The writing flows like a stream of clouds, without a hint of stammering

I messed up? Xiao Dong chuckled in disbelief and confidently said, "Don't compare me to you. Aside from two questions in logical reasoning that I probably got wrong, and a few particularly difficult general knowledge questions, I basically couldn't have made mistakes on the rest. Before submitting the paper, I calculated that, barring any surprises, my error rate shouldn't exceed 7 percent. Heh, what about you? With such a difficult exam, you must have gotten at least 40 or 50 questions wrong, right?"

Is this the essay question

13:30 to 16:00

Dong Xuebin sighed nervously, patted his cheeks, and prayed to the heavens

Take another look at question three

Dong Xuebin hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry." He lowered his head to glance at the exam paper, confirming that he had not misread it. Surprised and delighted, he shifted his gaze to question four. Oh my goodness! Dong Xuebin immediately gasped in shock, astonished beyond words, and struck his forehead with his fist, truly at a loss for how to describe his current feelings.

This is the essay question

Do not just put on a brave front with your words! Xiao Dong clearly did not understand what Dong Xuebin meant by that.

He only now understands why Grandpa Hu confidently told him that the essay would definitely earn him a high score. He now realizes why Grandpa Hu did not allow him to share the review materials discussed between the two of them. Perhaps https://m.hetushu.com is where his son set the questions for this exam in the capital, or perhaps he obtained them through other channels. This time, the essay exam in the capital had as much as seventy percent of the original questions...! Grandpa Hu had secretly informed him of this during their previous tutoring sessions!

Upon returning to the examination site of No. 15 Middle School, Xiao Dong appeared very composed, seemingly confident of achieving a perfect score. "Do your best in the exam, and don't fail."

Xiao Dong looked at him with sarcasm, "This time the civil service exam is even a bit more difficult than the national exam, are you okay with that"

In a state of confusion, he hastily completed the first question and gritted his teeth as he looked at the second question

However, plans cannot keep up with changes; the first test encountered a problem, and I had no choice but to use today's BACK. In the afternoon's essay, I was at a loss.

Standing in the corridor, Dong Xuebin stared blankly at the empty room

Ah, Dong Xuebin, you must perform beyond your usual level!

The old gentleman probably does not have much time left, could it be that yesterday was the last time I saw him

Master, he said to the driver: "Please, to the tumor hospital"

It's going to be a disaster

Outside the school gate, Qu Yunxuan and her mother were waiting for him in the shade of a tree, and Aunt Xu was with them. It seemed that Xiao Dong had not yet come out of the examination room. Dong Xuebin approached them in a daze, and upon seeing his mother and Aunt Xuan eagerly about to say something, he suddenly made a gesture to pause. "First, don't say anything, Mom, Aunt Xuan, I need to go somewhere right away; it's something very urgent. You two should head home first"
