Aomine Academy. When Tomoya Aki arrived at the academy, there were already several students in the academy.
"Good afternoon, Aki-san."
Mr. Tsubota nodded to Tomoya Aki, then skillfully pulled out a test paper from under the table.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Tsubota."
After greeting Mr. Tsubota, Tomoya Aki sat in the corner with his schoolbag.
At the same time, Mr. Tsubota also came over with the test paper.
"First little test of the day."
Mr. Tsubota pushed the test paper in front of Tomoya Aki.
Mr. Tsubota knew that there was no need to waste any more time with Tomoya Aki, as the remaining time for this student who was preparing for the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo was very precious.
"We can start now!"
Aki Tomoya nodded and got into the state in the shortest time possible.
After receiving his reply, Mr. Tsubota picked up the timer on the table and set the time: "Fifteen minutes."
Having already entered the state, Tomoya Aki quickly looked through the A4-sized paper and then started writing.
The sound of the pen tip scratching on the paper is particularly pleasant.
Fifteen minutes is not a long time, and in the tense atmosphere of the cram school, it passed in the blink of an eye.
After Tomoya Aki finished the small test arranged by Mr. Tsubota, the other candidates preparing for the exam had almost arrived, and then they began intensive tutoring one by one under the arrangement of Mr. Tsubota.
What can I say about the other candidates who chose Aomine Academy? They are probably at the same level as Tomoya Aki before. But since they have chosen this place, no matter for family reasons or personal reasons, Mr. Tsubota will not give up on any student.
In fact, cram schools in Japan also pay a lot of attention to students' academic performance. After all, if a cram school produces students from national universities such as the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, or private universities such as Keio and Waseda, it is also an advertisement.
There are many cram schools in Japan and the competition is very fierce. Candidates choose the cram schools, and famous cram schools also select outstanding candidates.
The reason why Akitomo chose this place is very simple. On the one hand, he has just started and does not have the money to afford those expensive cram schools. On the other hand, he made an agreement with his parents to support him after he sees good results in the first semester.
Therefore, in the first semester, Aki Tomoya's initial plan was to supplement the necessary knowledge points, strengthen what could be strengthened, and catch up with the school's progress if possible.
Therefore, as he was not picky about the subjects in his choice of school, Akitomo chose Aomine School.
However, after having contact with Mr. Tsubota and receiving a lot of help from him, Aki Tomoya felt that he was quite lucky and had not encountered any of those deceptive cram schools.
"Aki-san, please write a short essay!"
Mr. Tsubota came over and collected Tomoya Aki's test papers, and at the same time placed the manuscript paper in front of him.
"Is today also a short essay?"
As Aki Tomoya said this, he sighed, "A short essay, another short essay."
Every time in cram school, the most common thing we do is writing short essays!
Although I have already made progress in Japanese history and modern history, the essay is still a difficult problem.
"Don't sigh, I just hope that An Yi can improve his essay writing skills as soon as possible. Your other subjects are steadily improving, but your essay has reached a bottleneck. Try harder!"
Mr. Tsubota smiled helplessly.
Although I have given Aki Tomoya a lot of advice, he still needs to read and write more when it comes to short essays.
If you want to get into a national university like the University of Tokyo, you must prepare for the future national exams.
Want to specialize in one subject?
It doesn't exist!
Even for weak points, the lower limit must be raised.
"Thirty minutes, no forty-five minutes, please think carefully this time, Aki-san."
After rescheduling Tomoya Aki, Mr. Tsubota arranged tests for other students and then returned to his seat.
Aki Tomoya narrowed his eyes as he looked at the manuscript paper in front of him.
"What should I write today?"
Aki Tomoya gave a bitter smile. If he hadn't known that Mr. Tsubota was doing this for his own good, he would have thought that Mr. Tsubota was trying to push him towards the writer's side.
After all, to be honest, when it comes to writing, you can only improve by constantly reading and writing.
"God damn Japan, you have to take the national entrance exam to get into a national university. Can't you just take the on-campus exam like private universities?"
Japan's national university is like this, do you want to apply?
Sure, take the national exam first, and then use the national exam results to speak for yourself. If your results are not good enough, you won't even be eligible to take the school exam.
On the contrary, private universities are not that troublesome. Although there are a few universities that will refer to the results of the national examinations, most of them still rely on independent examinations within the school.
To be admitted to a private university, you only need to prepare for the examination scope of the corresponding department.
An Yilun also wanted to say a few words, but he didn't have time to complain. There was a piece of white paper in front of him. It was time to think carefully and start writing.
First identify a theme, then the structure, and then add flesh and blood.
While Tomoya Aki was writing, Mr. Tsubota had also finished grading Tomoya Aki's small test and was waiting for Tomoya Aki to finish writing his essay.
The previous fifteen minutes passed in a flash for Tomoya Aki, but when he was writing the essay, time suddenly slowed down.
For forty-five minutes, Aki Tomoya devoted himself to writing, squeezing out all the writing inspiration in his mind.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that articles are not written, but revised.
Writing over and over again like this is also a kind of self-refinement. It is a good way to discover problems from each article and then improve and enhance it.
Although Aki Tomoya had memorized a lot of words about Lu Xun, he seemed to have almost forgotten what he wrote.
It took forty-five minutes, and when Aki Tomoya put down the last stroke, it had actually exceeded two minutes.
But Mr. Tsubota didn't remind him, and even the timer didn't sound.
After noticing that Aki Tomoya had finished writing, Mr. Tsubota came over and asked softly, "Aki-san, how do you feel about this time?"
"Wouldn't you like to take a look first?"
Tomoya Aki put down his pen. He found that Mr. Tsubota had no intention of taking his essay away.
At the same time, he also noticed that he had actually exceeded the stipulated time by two minutes.
"Rather than letting me see it first, I actually want Aki to see your own work first. Tell me what you think later."
Mr. Tsubota pushed his glasses up and reached out to pat Tomoya Aki's shoulder.
"You're two minutes over the allotted time. I'm looking forward to your writing this time, An Yi. You'll have to tell me about it later."
Mr. Tsubota rubbed his hands, looked expectant, then turned around and returned to his seat.
