Examination

Last night, I managed to sleep fairly well, though I went to bed a bit late. Exams really cost a lot of money, especially since hotels turn into a seller’s market during exam periods and inevitably raise their prices. Many hotels have hiked their rates to such an extent that they might as well be publicly shamed on a lamppost. Candidates are truly pitiable—most of them don’t even have stable jobs. The exams themselves are hard enough, and yet they still have to endure being exploited by these people. ...

Tomorrow, I have an exam in Guiyang for a public institution under the Department of Transportation, so today I’m rushing to catch a bus to Guiyang. As I left the house, I overheard two kids talking. One of them said: When I was little, I thought if a mouse got sick, it should take rat poison. Exams are truly expensive, especially since hotels turn into a seller’s market whenever there’s an exam—price hikes are inevitable. Many hotels have raised their rates so much that they practically deserve to be publicly shamed on utility poles. ...

文/ 正道老师1 逐字稿/不上岸不改名称20122 在开始前，我想我们要先有一个共识，即备考面试也好，做其他事也一样，想要有一个好的结果，有俩点分成重要，一是慎始善终。慎始不一定善终，但不慎始一定不善终，你的开始几乎就注定了你的结果。刚开始时，你一定要冷静思考，仔细调查，根据你自身的情况，制定自己的计划，不要人云亦云，也不要只靠一腔热血，否则最后悔之晚矣。二是讲究“三方”。即方向要正确，方法要有效，方式要适宜。下面我从“三方”的角度谈谈自己对面试的理解以及如何备考面试。 ...

09:04 Woke Up My habits have been quite poor lately—I often find myself mindlessly picking up my phone to scroll through videos on Bilibili or Douyin. This behavior wastes a lot of time and significantly harms both my eye health and my normal routine. I need to be more mindful. I believe this is achievable because I didn’t used to have this habit, and I’ve also realized that most of the time I spend watching these videos, I’m not even happy. ...

09:31 Started Studying Just finished debugging the code. There are always so many things to do in my own room—thinking about folding laundry, taking out the trash, what to eat for lunch… Before I knew it, a lot of time was wasted on these little tasks. 21:41 Finished a Vocational Aptitude Test Scored in the top 35%. It was okay—still plenty of room for improvement. This afternoon, I completed a set of “Comprehensive Application Ability” exercises, then cooked some rice and went grocery shopping in my pajama pants. Bought a lot of stuff: strawberries, choy sum, cabbage, tofu, and pork belly. Originally planned to make it last two days, but I got greedy and wanted to eat everything. Ended up not being able to finish it all by myself, so I called my brother over to share the meal. ...

The weather is so nice today! Yet I didn’t step outside all day. I was sluggish in the morning, fiddling with this and that, and before I knew it, the morning was gone. The printer keeps acting up a little—I’ll send it back and try a replacement. Today, I worked through a set of practice tests. The Administrative Aptitude Test was manageable, but I still need more practice with summarization and synthesis for the Comprehensive Application Ability section. I should also familiarize myself with the basic formats of various writing styles. Tomorrow, I’ll tackle a few more test papers specifically to sharpen those skills. ...

昨日做了个梦，已经忘记得差不多了。幸得在待办软件上添加几个关键词才得以想起：航发、绊子、师傅。 梦到在参加一个活动，我有事起身准备走出会场。不料坐在我后面的人左腿往左伸得老长，支了我一个绊子，我一个踉跄就倒了下来。 ...
