However, in a whole school Chinese and English composition competition, he actually won the seventh place.
It is unprecedented for a junior high school freshman to achieve such a high ranking in Taowu Middle School.
English, geography and other subjects in Taowu Middle School are all held by foreign teachers, and English has aroused Zhong Shu's great interest. He lashed out at English regardless of occasion and place, and quietly read English novels that he never forgot in class. Although he is sometimes absent-minded in class, he is always the first in the class in every exam. By the third day, his Chinese and English scores were among the best in the school, and his pronunciation was as pure as that of foreign teachers. Seeing his excellent grades, the teacher entrusted him with an important task and made him monitor. It's just that this monitor is a little "confused" in life. He often can't distinguish between east, west, north and south. I lost my way as soon as I left school, and sometimes I walked around in my shoes. The most embarrassing thing is going to physical education class.
As a monitor, his English password shouted loudly and accurately "Look to the right-look to the left-",but he didn't distinguish between left and right, and looked around, which caused the students to burst into laughter. He was confused himself. The teacher saw that he was not an "official" material. He was the monitor for two weeks and then he was dismissed.
One summer vacation, when his father was away from home, Qian Zhongshu put down his homework and indulged in novels first. Unexpectedly, halfway through the summer vacation, my father suddenly came back. The first thing my father did when he came back was to ask him and Han Zhong to write an article. Han Zhong's articles are well organized and elegant. Zhong Shu probably read too many miscellaneous books such as novels, and the articles he wrote were not written in black and white, and the meaning of the words was grotesque. Father was very angry and gave him a beating. Qian Zhongshu sat alone in the hall sobbing and crying.
From then on, Qian Zhongshu worked hard. He carefully read the ancient Chinese glossary and other books, and made great progress in reading and writing. His attitude towards self-study has changed, from miscellaneous reading to specialized reading.
Qian Zhongshu is outstanding in Taowu and is highly valued by the headmaster and teachers. Many students admire him.
This stimulated his self-esteem and self-confidence, and then turned it into the motivation to study hard.
In, Qian Zhongshu was admitted to Tsinghua and immediately became famous on campus, not only because he only got 65,438+05 in mathematics, but also because of his superb Chinese and English skills, and soon became a famous talent in Tsinghua.
His goal in Tsinghua is to sweep the Tsinghua Library and read old and new Chinese and western books. Extensive reading laid a solid foundation for his later literary creation.
