Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 12 Participating in the semi-finals
The next day, the sun lazily shines on the entire city of London. As one of the most developed cities in the UK, it becomes busy and crowded every morning. Of course, this is a country that pays attention to etiquette, so although it is crowded, it will not break the relevant order.
After Kevin washed his face and had breakfast, he found that all the rematch contestants had already arrived downstairs and waited for the reception car of the London Publishing House, and he was the last one to arrive.
"Hey, buddy, you seem to get up late today, is it because you were late for reading last night?" said a handsome contestant.
"No, I didn't read a book last night, I watched TV."
"Yes, this guy's room was filled with the sound of TV dramas last night. I heard it when I passed by." Another contestant also interjected.
"Well, man, you are awesome. Hope you have a good grade today. But I guess God doesn't like lazy people."
As soon as the words came out, there was a burst of laughter. I have to say, if this object is not Kevin, this can indeed be regarded as a witty joke. But for Kevin, he just kept silent.
"Thanks, I think I will. Oh, here comes the car, let's go." Kevin answered him with a smile.
Most of these contestants came to participate in the semi-finals because they wanted to win the championship and gain some popularity in the English literature circle. Therefore, the laziness of others is a good thing for them. After all, this is invisibly giving himself a chance.
After more than 20 contestants followed the reception car to the semi-final examination room of London Literature Publishing, they discovered a problem, that is, there are a lot of people today, and most of them are local media.
But they were not surprised. After all, Mr. Curry explained yesterday that this is a country that pays attention to literature, so such a large-scale literary competition naturally attracts a lot more attention. This is like Huaxia's singer contest.
"My friend, I'm a little nervous, how about you?" A contestant who walked closer to Kevin asked.
"My friend, this feeling is wonderful, I like this feeling." Kevin said confidently.
Yes, the more media you have, the more opportunities you have to become famous. China's Eileen Chang said: Be famous as early as possible. Therefore, Kevin, who threw himself on the street and home in his previous life, actually came to this country, so he must be well-known. Perhaps today is the best opportunity.
"Please enter the examination room for the contestants in the semi-finals, accept our questions, and then write articles based on the topics, the subject matter is not limited."
The supervisor was shouting with a microphone, and his face was full of excitement.
The media also cooperated quite well. In order not to affect the ideas of the contestants, they only chose to take some photos quietly outside the examination room, and then sat there quietly and waited.
Kevin walked into the examination room for the rematch without haste, and then found his own seat. After everyone sat down, the chief examiner of the semi-finals also walked in.
"It's a great pleasure to meet you all. Maybe some of you here will be the pride of the future of British literature, but who the answer is, maybe only God knows. Alright, let's get back to the topic."
At this moment, all the contestants were staring at the chief examiner, including Kevin. Although Kevin has the English literature memory system from his previous life, he still needs to understand the topic of the rematch so that he can write conveniently. Naturally, he dare not be sloppy at this time.
"My God, this test room is really empty,
It's so empty that I don't know what topic to ask. Oh, here's a broom. Everyone, let this broom be the topic of today's rematch. Well, you do your best. "
After finishing speaking, the chief examiner took a broom in the corner to the podium, and then made a gesture of invitation to the contestants below, indicating that they can play freely.
When the contestants saw this, their eyes became dazed. Everyone was crying and crying in their hearts. Usually writing, there is a topic, they can write casually. But now I don’t have a topic, I just look at a broom to write, how can I imagine this, how to write.
The media, including those who were waiting quietly outside, were also very puzzled by this phenomenon, and began to discuss it in a low voice.
"Hey, why is the rematch of this year's London Literary Competition so difficult? It seems to be taking a broom as the topic."
"Yeah, it's really difficult for the contestants to look at a broom and write an article. You must know that many of them are of noble origin, and they have never touched a broom."
"But don't you realize that only in this way can the real talents of English literature be discovered?"
"It makes sense, but can young people nowadays write brooms deeply?"
When many people lamented that this rematch question was a bit biased and difficult, only one person was writing frantically.
Yes, this person is Kevin. Relying on the English literature system on Earth in his previous life, he quickly thought of Swift's "Meditations on a Broom".
Swift is an outstanding satirical writer and a famous essayist in England in the 18th century on earth. In this article, he associates broom handles with life, and the writing is humorous and thought-provoking.
"Meditations on a Broom" is also one of Swift's classic masterpieces, and the most famous passage is:
Isn't man also a broomstick? When nature first sent him down to earth, he was strong and powerful, full of energy, with a head full of black hair. If we compare man to a rational plant, it is flourishing. However, it didn't take long before the wine color was like an axe, cutting off his green branches and leaves, leaving him with only a dead branch. So he hurriedly resorted to artificial help, put on a wig filled with powder, and was proud of it. If our broom were to appear in this way, we would be proud of collecting some other sticks, which were actually full of dust, and even the most
Dust in the noble lady's room, How vain it must be, shall we laugh! We are such eccentric judges, biased towards our own merits and the faults of others!
Of course, as a short essay, "Meditations on a Broom" is a classic throughout. That's why Kevin didn't hesitate to write it down.
Such an article and the broom brought up by the examiner can be described as extremely appropriate.
Kevin's writing was also captured by the outside media, and they also started talking for a while.
"Hey, what is that guy doing? He actually started writing so early. It was less than a minute before the examiner announced the retest questions."
"Yeah, I seem to see his hands keep writing on the paper, it seems that the inspiration has never been broken."
"But none of the other contestants have written yet. How did he get inspiration so quickly?"
"Maybe this will be the next Shakespeare, we'll see."
"I don't believe it, he can really get inspiration so quickly. Maybe he is painting, or maybe he is practicing his pen."
The contestants inside don't have as much time to take care of others as the media outside. At this moment, they are all struggling to figure out how to write. Of course, there is plenty of time left for them, so they can think slowly.
It's just that when they were about to write, a person named Kevin had already written the article, and every word and sentence would become a classic.
"Wait, my God, what is he doing standing up? Is it time to hand in the paper?"
"Yeah, it's only been less than ten minutes, and he wrote it so quickly?"
"It's unbelievable. Is this true? Is this kid here for entertainment?"
"If he is the champion of this literary competition, he may be a real literary genius in Britain."
After Kevin handed over the written essay to the examiner, the examiner also looked at him in surprise.
"Dear Kevin, are you sure you have finished writing? The topic of the rematch is to watch a broom play freely." The examiner reminded him.
"Yes, I have already written it. Thank you for your reminder." Kevin said confidently.
"Okay, after submitting the essay, you can go out. We will announce the results of the rematch in two days, the day after tomorrow." The chief examiner said.
The other contestants saw that Kevin submitted the article in just ten minutes, and their eyes were wide open. Since they were 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 themselves how the person who submitted the article within ten minutes did it.
"Hi, may I ask what you wrote in the title of this rematch?"
"Sorry, according to the organizer's request, the title of this article cannot be announced yet." Kevin replied.
"Hi, may I ask how you managed to 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 to be broken." Kevin replied.
"Then do you think you will be the champion of this literature 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 questions were over. But the problem is over, but the matter is not over.
Many people began to post Kevin's affairs to their Twitter, and the discussion about Kevin's handing in the article in just ten minutes began.
