"So, was that off-topic?"
"Not off-topic, but too ordinary, just like when we wrote essays in elementary school, 'In the future, I want to be a scientist, an artist,' there's no thesis at all." Liu Fang spoke truthfully, "Writing this way won't be too bad, but no matter how well it's written, it's hard for a teacher to give more than 47 points."
"Then Teacher, what I wrote was 'Hello, future.'"
"What about the angle?"
"The completion of socialist modernization, discussing the tremendous leaps in technological development in China over the years."
"Hmm…it's okay, but it won't score high. Of course, if it's really well-written there's still a chance of getting 48," Liu Fang gave a fair assessment.
Writing an essay like this is actually quite risky because some students are very rigid and tend to drag this topic into everything, which often leads them off-topic. Of course, if they actually encounter such a perfect tribute essay question, then they're really in luck.
