"Is there this kind of difference between regular grading and grading during the college entrance exams?" Liu Chengxi asked.
"Yes," the Chinese language teacher said, "I spent about five minutes on your essay. Since you are my student and I know it's yours, I can be patient and understand what you're trying to say. But if it were during the college entrance exams, I might score it slightly lower."
"I understand," Liu Chengxi really got it this time.
Change was indeed a good thing.
But he, obviously, lacked experience.
"Come find me after evening self-study, and I'll go over a few essays with you," the Chinese language teacher said.
"Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me after work," Liu Chengxi said with respect.
"Alright, come after evening self-study," the Chinese language teacher said with a smile.
So, Liu Chengxi went back to his classroom.
He continued studying with everyone else in evening self-study.
