My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

A male student wearing glasses raised his right hand.

"Lin Chen, is this some kind of divine martial arts manual you've acquired, the Sunflower Manual?"

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course not. If you were to give it a name, I think it could be called the 'Study Master's Handbook'."

"This guide won't actually improve your Chinese language skills, but in this era where exams measure everyone's knowledge, it will help you get as high a score as possible in Chinese exams!"

Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Chen didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Let's take an example. Everyone should have their last joint exam's Chinese language test paper. Let's look directly at the first reading comprehension passage..."

I analyzed the Chinese language college entrance examination papers from the last ten years, and most of the reading comprehension questions asked students to interpret a sentence or inquire about the hidden meaning in the passage.

If you've asked your respective Chinese language teachers, you'll know that reading comprehension passages have standard answers; as long as your answers are close to the standard answers, you'll get points.

Upon hearing this, the Chinese language teachers in the back row all nodded.

Lin Chen continued, "So my secret to solving these kinds of questions is to find the answers in the original text."

Based on my analysis, the answers to these reading comprehension questions in past college entrance examination essays always appear in the preceding text.

Seventy percent of them are likely in the first three paragraphs.

The probability in the previous paragraph is 25%.

There's a 5% chance it will appear later in the text.

However, this possibility is very low; it usually only appears in the most difficult Chinese language exams of all time.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's explanation, the students in Class Two immediately began to look at the Chinese language test paper.

I discovered that the teacher's final standard answer was actually one that had appeared in the previous text.

I go!

Reading comprehension is actually this easy?

Finally, a language arts teacher couldn't help but ask:

"Lin Chen, your reading comprehension method is reasonable, but isn't it just letting your classmates guess randomly? What kind of secret technique is this?"

"Teacher, this is not a guess, but rather a statistical analysis of data and then a result analysis."

For capable students, this simply shortens the time they spend solving problems, while for less capable students, it allows them to have the highest probability of scoring.

Is there a problem with this?

Is there a problem?

The teacher was completely stumped by the question.

He finally understood why Lin Chen had said before that this secret manual wouldn't improve everyone's Chinese language skills.

But it can improve their test scores.

Isn't this just using probability theory to answer Chinese exam questions?

For a moment, the teacher was speechless.

So, math can actually be used in Chinese language exams?

"What about the essay? You can do essays like that?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "In my secret manual, essays are actually the easiest to improve your score on."

"what?"

"Lin Chen, please tell us quickly!"

"Yes, yes! My writing is the worst. If I could improve my writing, my Chinese would take off!"

Many people looked at Lin Chen with expectant eyes, waiting for his answer.

"As for the essay, I'd like to have a student write one on the spot to verify the contents of my secret manual. Does anyone want to volunteer?"

"I come!"

"let me!"

The students in Class 2 were all eager to try.

This was a sight the homeroom teacher of Class 2 had never seen before.

In the end, Lin Chen actually chose the student with the worst essay writing score in the class.

Of course, this worst-case scenario is relative.

Donghai No.1 Middle School is, after all, the best middle school in Donghai City. Students who can get in would probably be considered top students in other schools.

This student's problem is that he is very good at science subjects, but Chinese has always been his weak point, and his essays always score only in the 30s.

Lin Chen had him sit directly on the podium, and then asked a Chinese language teacher to give him an essay topic: to write an article about artificial intelligence.

Since it's not a formal exam, you only need to write 500 words.

Lin Chen opened a notebook directly in front of the student and whispered a few words in his ear.

Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes widened, and he immediately picked up a pen and began to write.

During this time, in order not to waste any time, Lin Chen began to explain other parts of the manual to everyone.

Like the previous reading comprehension exercises, these tips are also unconventional, using mathematical methods to solve Chinese language test questions.

It completely overturned everyone's past understanding of Chinese language.

Several teachers who were taking notes couldn't help but clutch their chests.

I just feel like I taught fake Chinese in the past.

Meanwhile, the students in Class 2 had their eyes light up.

It turns out that reviewing Chinese is actually this simple.

First, memorize the most basic classical Chinese texts.

The remaining questions can all be answered by applying Lin Chen's secret techniques.

In Lin Chen's words:

Once you've learned my secret, you can just skip the rest of the questions.

One of the teachers finally couldn't take it anymore.

What kind of Chinese language secret is Lin Chen using? It's too unorthodox.

If everyone were to learn from him, would Chinese language still be Chinese language?

But just as he was about to speak up to stop them, the student who had been writing the essay suddenly looked up and said:

"Teacher, I've finished writing!"

Finished writing?

The Chinese language teachers were all somewhat surprised.

Especially the Chinese teacher of Class 2.

Because only 20 minutes have passed.

Although the word count requirement has been reduced, considering this person's past performance, this is a bit too fast!

Thinking of this, the Chinese teacher of Class 2 said directly, "I'll grade them!"

"Teacher, please use your usual exam marking habits to grade this paper."

Lin Chen gave a reminder.

The teacher, who had originally planned to take a closer look at the essay, nodded.

The usual grading habits of a Chinese language teacher.

That means reading an 800-word essay in less than a minute.

Because Chinese language exam papers cannot be graded by machines, teachers use common grading gestures to speed up the process.

That means reading the beginning, then the end, and then skimming the main text.

The teacher finished reading very quickly.

An expression of disbelief hung on his face.

"What's wrong? What score would you get for this essay?"

A teacher below asked curiously.

"46?"

The Chinese teacher of Class Two gave an uncertain score.

It wasn't that she felt she had given too few or too many points.

Instead, she could hardly believe that this was an essay written by a student whose average score on Chinese exam essays was only in the 30s!

Wow! My score improved by more than ten points!

"This is the first time he's ever written using Lin Chen's secret manual!"

"Great God Lin Chen! Quickly tell us what magic you used on him!"

The students in Class 2 were stunned.

Lin Chen only gave a few pointers, and their students' essays improved by more than ten points!

This study guide for top students is amazing!

Putting aside reading comprehension, this skill alone in improving essay scores is practically a magic formula in the world of Chinese language education!
