I’ll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 82: Accidentally Got Top Three In the Test. What Should I Do? Waiting Online. Urgent.

Qu Xiaomeng’s first reaction was that her students did not listen to her lecture and she hoped the papers would get better as she continued.

She moved on to the next, and as expected, the writing on the next paper was neat and tidy and 90% of the multiple-choice questions were correct. The comprehension and essay portions were also great.

The total score for the paper was 93 points.

Qu Xiaomeng heaved a breath of relief. ‘So, it’s not my problem. It’s just that some of the students didn’t pay attention in class.’

Just when the thought popped up, what happened next exceeded her wildest imagination.

She continuously marked more than 20 papers, none of which passed!

The lowest score was 30 points, and if it was not for the essay and comprehension portions, the score would have been even lower. The highest was around 56, 57 marks, and she even had to be lenient on the comprehension and essay parts.

Qu Xiaomeng’s brows furrowed tightly.

‘What is going on? Don’t students nowadays even know the meaning of ‘Breaking Bad’? It’s about a high school chemistry teacher stepping on the wrong path and having to struggle between the good and evil of the human side!

‘Okay, even if they don’t know that, they should know that the name male lead of ‘Westworld’, Flood, also means flood, like literally! Water soaking everything! How obvious is that?

‘Aside from that, they don’t even know the meaning of ‘I’m a laundry virgin’! Come on. They should at least get this right! This is a famous phrase from the series ‘FRIENDS’! What are they doing? Some even chose ‘I’m a virgin that works at the cleaner’!

‘The students in this class are really bad. They didn’t even pay attention to my lecture!’

The reason why Qu Xiaomeng set the questions based on American drama series and Hollywood movies was not because of her unusual taste, but because she believed the current English curriculum was boring and uninteresting.

She incorporated elements from the famous television series into her lecture because she wanted the students to love English.

Nowadays, students could only write and not read. Without a sense of language, it would be hard for them to understand the context. With television drama series and moves as references, the students could learn and grasp the context easier.

To her surprise, her method did not work.

Qu Xiaomeng felt defeated as she continued marking the papers. Her confidence was slipping away because she realized her method was wrong.

After she finished marking the papers, she realized that only three papers had passed the midterms and it was tragic to her.

She selected the three papers and wanted to see who they were.

The first paper that scored 93 points belonged to Chu Xia and it was no surprise to her. Chu Xia was not only beautiful but smart, and she had always been a hard-working student.

Since Qu Xiaomeng added a lot of phrases from drama series in her lecture recently, Chu Xia took the initiative and started talking to her. After they started talking to each other, they realized that they were both enthusiastic hobbyists of American drama series and even liked the same genre.

The only difference was that Qu Xiaomeng watched dramas to kill time and Chu Xia watched them for inspiration for her novel.

Chu Xia was working towards her dream as a novelist, so she often searched for inspiring ideas in drama series.

The conversation sparked a friendship between them and they got closer as they talked. They often messaged each other on WeChat or talked face-to-face about interesting scenes they found in the dramas.

The second paper belonged to Chu An with 85 points. Qu Xiaomeng heard of this girl as well as she was a hard-working student. Ms. Zhang, the original English lecturer who was on maternity leave, had once said that this girl was not smart enough but was willing to put in the effort to study.

Qu Xiaomeng then moved on to the third paper.

She had many guesses about the third paper. It might be Liu Yiyi’s since that girl’s level of English was decent. It might also be Wang Fei’s because the girl asked her a lot of questions during the lecture.

However, when she saw the name on the third paper, Qu Xiaomeng was stunned. She squealed in shock in her office, “H-how is this possible? It’s him?!”

Qu Xiaomeng rubbed her eyes and checked the name again. Su Yang’s name was clearly written there and on the side of the name was a score of 71.
