Dear leaders, teachers, dear students:
Good morning, everyone!
Today is the first flag-raising ceremony in 2022, and all the teachers and students of Tsinghua Affiliated High School are also ushered in the final examination week of the New Year。At this moment, in this certain fact, there is an uncertainty that may be troubling us。Is tomorrow's test difficult？What should I do if I don't know？This little restlessness and anxiety reminds us that exams are a very important thing。But why are tests important？How should we prepare for the coming final exam？
First, let's start with what is a test。Standing outside the office and observing the "examination", which includes the complete process of setting questions, assessment and evaluation, can be described as the most fair and true ability screening in the world。China is the country of the first imperial examination, the appearance of the examination is intended to select outstanding talents to take on the responsibility of inheriting civilization and protecting the family and country, but also means that the fate of individuals is no longer only determined by birth, everyone has the possibility to realize their dreams through efforts。Han Yu, Su Shi, Wen Tianxiang and other generations were selected by examination and entered the stage of The Times。Each of us also needs to prove our value to the society through different forms of examination selection, and the college entrance examination is also one of them。Such a test, although for an evaluation, actually condenses a period of struggle in the road of life, it is not only related to knowledge, ability, but also distinguishes the ideological understanding, vision pattern and even the quality of will。
Before the arrival of that exam, the mid-term and final exams organized by the school that we participated in were not aimed at selection, but their evaluation pointed to the phased learning state of the students, which was an important link in learning and one of the most efficient learning methods。The test makers are teachers who accompany you on weekdays. They select the most important knowledge points, polish them round after round, and order the test questions suitable for your academic level. Therefore, students can complete the review and application of knowledge in a very short time by searching and recalling what they have learned。In the next few days, you will find that your brain works much faster than usual, and even tomorrow, you may be surprised to realize that you can write an 800-word essay in half an hour。It can be seen that examinations can stimulate and witness our unlimited imagination and creativity。
More importantly, learning is not only the acquisition of subject knowledge, but also the overall shaping of self-personality;Examination is not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of humanity and morality。In the examination room, the psychology of luck, self-deception may sprout at any time, and only ourselves clearly know that we can not cheat, or do not want to cheat。Those grades that were obtained through irregular means，It greatly affects our truthfulness with ourselves，Fake grades may lead to a moment of glory，But there's always a voice inside that tells you that all the praise isn't based on truth，You get used to pretending，When you need to face more complex problems on your own，I don't know what to do，Because you don't really believe that you have the power to solve these problems。While examining，It gives us a chance to look at ourselves and change ourselves，Be true to yourself，Just a thought choice，There is no difference of degree，Reverse the delusions of self-deception，It happens in a second or less，If the right in your heart overcomes the evil in your heart，Then this second for you to say，Is vital to learning and growth。The chance of being in the exam room at that crucial moment in your life is quite high。So, is everyone looking forward to tomorrow？
当然，Maybe there's another sound，He smiled and said, "I would have lain flat.，I didn't really learn，What to look forward to"，Use "Because I don't care，So don't expect，There is no "failure" logic to paralyze yourself，Mitigate the damage caused by unsatisfactory grades，Such students are actually smart enough，Too bad I didn't try hard enough，I don't even want to bear the pain caused by not trying。But please believe in the possibility of change, because the state of life is never frozen。The epidemic has made us more and more aware that change is the normal state of the world, from a negative point of view, change is the impermanence of life, and to a positive point of view, it is endless, and each of us can face the impermanence of life, the initiative to choose self-improvement。So even if you were lying flat yesterday，Today I can get up and review again，Even you wasted it today，Tomorrow can still use the most positive state to meet the best learning opportunities，What you can't do is the problem itself，To resist and hold on means to meet the challenge with your own will，Use their own efforts to experience the joys and sorrows of life，Don't you want to try？
In a word, whether it is for the society, the country, or for personal growth, examination is only a tool to help us achieve our goals and improve efficiency。Zhuangzi said, "things are not things", the score witnessed my growth, rather than controlling my life, imagine who will be in front of the vast river and sea, afraid of helping us to cross the boat？What's more, for students in the prime of their youth, questions are more important than answers, and growth is more important than results。
Finally, look forward to the students in the New Year's first test, face the challenge, to meet the growth, all the best!
