Chapter 12 Participate in the semi-finals
The sun shining lazily on the entire city of London the next day. As one of the most developed cities in the UK, it gets busy and very crowded every morning. Of course, this is a country that pays attention to etiquette, so even if it is crowded, it will not break the relevant order.
Kevin washed his face and after breakfast, he found that all the rematch players had arrived downstairs and waited for the reception car of the London Press. He was the last one to arrive.
“Hi, buddy, you seem to wake up late today. Is it because you were late for reading last night?” said a handsome player.
“No, I didn’t read a book last night, I watched TV.”
“Yes, this guy’s room was always full of TV drama sounds last night. I heard it when I passed by.” Another player also interjected.
“Well, buddy, you are awesome. I hope you can have good results today. However, I don’t think God likes those who are lazy.”
As soon as said, there was a burst of laughter. I have to say that if this person is not Kevin, this can indeed be regarded as a funny joke. But for Kevin, he just remained silent.
“Thank you, I think I will. Oh, the car is coming, let’s go.” Kevin answered him with a smile.
These contestants come to participate in the semi-finals, most of them want to win the championship, and then get a bit of popularity in the English literature world. Therefore, other people’s laziness is a good thing for them. After all, this invisibly is tantamount to giving yourself a chance.
After more than twenty contestants followed the reception car to the semi-final examination room of London Literature Publishing, they discovered a problem, that is, there are so many people today, and most of them are still local media.
But they were not surprised. After all, Mr. Curry explained yesterday that this is a country that focuses on literature, so such a large-scale literary competition naturally attracts a lot more attention. This is like the Chinese singer contest.
“Friend, I’m a little nervous, how about you?” asked a player who was closer to Kevin.
“Friend, this feeling is wonderful, I like it.” Kevin said confidently.
Yes, the more media, the more chances of becoming famous. Zhang Ailing of China once said: Become famous as soon as possible. Therefore, Kevin, who rushed home in his previous life, has arrived in this country, and he must be well-known. Perhaps today is the best opportunity.
“Please enter the test room for the contestants participating in the semi-finals, accept our questions, and then write articles based on the topics, regardless of the subject matter.”
The supervising teacher yelled in the microphone, and his face was full of excitement.
The media are also quite cooperative. In order not to affect the ideas of the contestants, they only chose to quietly take some photos outside the examination room, and then sat there quietly and waited.
Kevin walked into the examination room of the rematch without rushing, and then found his own seat. After everyone sat down, the rematch examiner also walked in.
“I am very happy to meet you. Perhaps some of you here will be the pride of future English literature, but perhaps only God knows who the answer is. Okay, let’s get back to the topic.”
At this time, all the contestants were intently looking at the chief examiner, including Kevin. Although Kevin has the memory system of English literature in his previous life, he has to figure out the topic of the rematch so that he can write easily. At this time, he naturally dare not sloppy.
“My God, this examination room is really empty. I don’t know what to ask. Oh, there is a broom. Everyone, let this broom be the topic of today’s rematch. Okay, you guys can do it yourself. .”
After finishing speaking, the examiner took a broom in the corner to the podium, and then made a gesture for the players below, indicating that they can play freely.
When the players saw this, their eyes became dazed. All of them were screaming in their hearts. They usually write with a topic, and they can write it casually. But now I don’t have any title, I just write with a broomstick. How can I imagine it and how to write it.
The media, including those who waited quietly outside, were also very puzzled by this phenomenon, and whispered on the sidelines.
“Oh, how difficult is the semi-final of this year’s London Literary Competition? It seems to be using a broom as the topic.”
“Yes, it is really difficult for the contestants to write an article while looking at a broomstick. You must know that many of them are from nobles and they have never touched a broomstick.”
“But don’t you realize that the only way to discover the true talents of English literature?”
“It makes sense, but can young people now write broomsticks deeply?”
When many people lamented that the question of the rematch was a bit off and difficult, only one person was writing crazy.
Yes, this person is Kevin. Relying on the English literary system on the earth in the previous life, he soon thought of Swift’s “Contemplation on a Broomstick.”
Swift is an outstanding satirical writer and a famous essayist in the 18th century in Britain on the earth. In this article, he associates life with a broomstick, and his writing is humorous and thought-provoking.
“Contemplation on a Broom” can also be described as one of Swift’s classic masterpieces. The most famous passage is:
Aren’t people also a broomstick? When nature first sent him to the world, he was strong and powerful, energetic, with black hair on his head. If you compare human beings to a rational plant, it is luxuriant. However, it didn’t take long for the wine color to be like an axe, cutting off his green branches and green leaves, leaving him with a dead branch. So he quickly turned to labor, put on a wig full of perfumed powder, and was proud of it. If our broomsticks appeared like this, we would be triumphant because we collected some other tree stalks on our body. In fact, these tree stalks are full of dust, even the most
The dust in the room of the noble lady, we will laugh at how vain it is! We are such eccentric judges, biased towards our own strengths and the faults of others!
Of course, as a short essay, “Meditation on a Broomstick” is a classic throughout. This is why Kevin wrote it down without hesitation.
An article like this and the broomstick brought up by the examiner are extremely relevant.
Kevin’s writing was also caught by the outside media, and for a while they also began to talk about it.
“Oh, what is that guy doing? He started writing so early. It was less than a minute before the examiner announced the retest questions.”
“Yes, I seem to see his hands keep writing on the paper, it seems that the inspiration has not been broken.”
“But the other players haven’t written a pen yet. How can he get inspiration so fast?”
“Maybe this will be the next Shakespeare, let’s wait and see.”
“I don’t believe it anymore. He can really be inspired so quickly. Maybe he is drawing, or maybe he is practicing pen.”
The players inside don’t have as much time as the outside media to take care of others. At this time, they are all imagining how to write. Of course, there is still plenty of time left for them, so they can think slowly.
Just when they were about to write, someone named Kevin had already written the article, and every word would become a classic.
“Wait, my goodness, what did he stand up for? Is it about to hand in the paper?”
“Yes, less than ten minutes, did he write it so soon?”
“It’s incredible, is this true? Is this kid here to entertain?”
“If he were the champion of this literary competition, he might be a true literary genius in Britain.”
After Kevin handed the written essay to the chief examiner, the chief examiner also looked at him in surprise.
“Dear Kevin, are you sure you have written it? The topic of the rematch is watching a broom and playing freely.” The chief examiner reminded him.
“Yes, I have finished writing UU reading www.uukanshu.com. Thank you for your reminder.” Kevin said confidently.
“Well, after you hand in the article, you can go out. Two days later, the day after tomorrow we will announce the results of the semi-finals.” The examiner said.
When other players saw Kevin handing in the article in just ten minutes, both eyes opened wide. Since they are still looking for inspiration, their surprise quickly turned into nervousness. .
After Kevin left the rematch examination room, the media immediately surrounded him. They have to ask in person how this person who handed in the article within ten minutes did it.
“Hello, what did you write about the title of this rematch?”
“Sorry, according to the organizer’s request, the title of this article cannot be published yet.” Kevin replied.
“Hello, how did you complete a work in just ten minutes. You must know that your speed has created the history of this literary competition.”
“The meaning of historical records is that people can break.” Kevin replied.
“Then do you think you will be the champion of this literary competition?”
“I can only say that I have confidence in my article. As for the results, it depends on the announcement the day after tomorrow.” Kevin replied.
As Kevin walked out of the rematch area, the media’s problems ended. But the problem is over, but the matter is not over yet.
Many people began to post Kevin’s things on their own Twitter. For a while, the discussion about Kevin handing in articles in just ten minutes began.
