Teacher Lee looked through Qiao Nan's papers again and again. It pained her to see her scores. But Qiao Nan answered brilliantly for every subjective question. In particularly for her essay, she scored flying colors.
As a Chinese teacher, it had been a long time since Teacher Lee saw such a well-written essay.
Aside from her neat handwriting, her essay was fair and reasonable; the language used though simple had deep meaning; it was logical and well structured. All in all, she could not find any fault with it.
Such a brilliant essay deserved full marks. However the teachers from the Chinese team had multiple discussions and decided that Qiao Nan's use of words was too simple and deducted one mark for that.
What did one mean by back to basics?
This was back to basics!
Actually Teacher Lee did not agree to the deduction and wanted to have a discussion with the Chinese team.
