Chapter 12 Zero points in the eleventh exam and full marks in the composition

I am good at sports, but my homework is a bit poor.After entering middle school, the most annoying thing is the exam.In order to cope with the midterm and final exams, my favorite club activities had to be suspended.In this way, school becomes like hell. In order for us to go home and study hard, the school dismissed early the day before the exam. I cried to my grandma: "Grandma, I don't even know English." "Then, you write 'I am Japanese' on the answer sheet." "That's right, it won't be too much trouble if you don't know English in Japan."

"Yeah yeah." "However, I'm not very good at writing Chinese characters either." "Then you write 'I can live on hiragana and katakana'." "Oh? Someone only knows hiragana." "Yeah yeah." "I hate history too..." "Nor does history?" Speaking of this, grandma was finally a little dumbfounded. I thought my grandma would tell me to "go to study quickly", but she is a grandma after all. After thinking about it, I came up with this sentence: "Then write 'I'm not stuck in the past' on the answer sheet."

Awesome! I actually wrote it like this, and it turned out... I begged the teacher to beat me up! In the environment I was in at the time, it was impossible for me to study hard.Occasionally, when doing homework late, grandma would turn off the light and say: "Don't work too hard! You'll become a nerd if you work too hard!" Even so, when I was in elementary school, I once won the first place in my Mandarin score, and won a prize in the Mother's Day composition competition.The composition was written like this - My mother works in Hiroshima, so I live with my grandmother.My mother and I only meet once a year, during the summer vacation.Although I also wanted to see my mother during the winter and spring vacations, my grandmother said that the trains only run during the summer vacation.When I go to a friend's house to play, I always feel how good it is to have my mother by my side.

A few days ago, I wanted to see my mother, so I went to see the railway where the train ran by myself. I understand that this railway leads all the way to Hiroshima, where my mother lives.I miss my mother, and my mother must miss me too.My thoughts and my mother's thoughts meet between Saga and Hiroshima. Can the day when I meet my mother come soon? For me, the whole summer vacation is Mother's Day. Even I thought it was well written. It's good to win an award, but one month after Mother's Day, Father's Day will come.The topic of this essay is "Father's Day".I have no memory of my father.

I asked, "Grandma, do you know about my dad?" Grandma kept her usual tone and told me to write "I don't know" on the manuscript paper and hand it in. The composition scores sent back—— 100 points! Because I got full marks for both essays, I got the first place in Mandarin. But this situation is only limited to the elementary school period. After middle school, I was always troubled by exams, and I sighed several times: "It was so good back then." By the way, my junior high school transcript looks like this: Sports: 5 Math: 5 Society: 2 Language: 1

English: 1 Physical and chemical: 2 Music: 1 Labor: 3 It goes without saying that I got 5 points (full score) in sports, but I also got 5 points in mathematics because of my friends. Of course our family didn’t have enough money to send me to cram school, but Katsuki-kun and Ono-kun who were rich enough to go to cram school came back to teach me math. Whether the results are good or bad, everyone really has very different opinions. I said to my grandmother: "Sorry, it's all 1 or 2 points." She smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, 1 point and 2 points add up to 5 points!"

I asked: "Can the grades of different subjects be added together?" This time, she said seriously and decisively: "Life is the sum total!" However, at the time I didn't quite understand what this meant.
