An Unexpected Result in one Math Exam
“Hi, Tony. How do you feel after the math test? A good mark?” My friend Jackson said.
“I think I will get a good mark because I do the best I can.” I responded. “Wow, you are really confident. I wish you can get a good mark. I just think I am going to fail in the test.” He said disappointedly.
“Why? I think you are good at math.” I asked.
“You remember there are five questions of choosing the A,B or C. I just write down the answer, not the matching choice. I wish I can get above eighty points, so I won’t get a punishment from my parents.” He said sadly. “You will definitely get a good mark, right, Tony?
Then he saw me squatting on the ground. I guess he probably knew that what happened: I did a mistake, too.“Oh no! Why I didn’t find this issue out? Oh no, I guess when my parents see this, they will be really angry. Now I just wish I answered the other questions right, so my score is still above ninety, right, because it is just losing five points, not a big deal, right? At least I won’t do wrong the next time.” I said.
“Yeah, that’s your idea.” Jackson said. It looked sad on his face. I guess there are no other emotions except sadness and disappointment. I tried to console him to be happy, but then, I understand there’s no way to make him happy. After a while, we were sitting together just like two vagrants. We didn’t have anything to say to each other. Then I was getting sad, too. Maybe he infected me.
“Hey, let’s go to the milk tea shop, I will pay for the money.”
The next day:
“You guys did bad at this exam. I want you to reflect on yourself. Come and get your test paper. Tony, congratulations, your score is ninety five, only five questions wrong, I guess if you were not careless, you can a hundred. Keep working hard. I wish you can get a good mark next time. I was amazed. I was so excited that I can feel everyone was looking at me. Then I heard another voice: “Jackson, your score is ninety five, I wish you can get a better mark next time.” Then I heard a scream, Jackson did. When I was intoxicate about my good score. I guess Jackson did, too. I heard another voice:
Except the two students, everybody all got the full score. Excellent guys! Class is over.......
Tony
