The English teacher stared at her for a while before she uttered her words. âI called you over because I had something to tell you.â
Jiang Lingzhi listened carefully.
âI know that your academic performance is good, but the homework still has to be done by the students themselves, donât you think?â The English teacher chose her words tactfully.
In fact, the moment she saw the subject representative, Jiang Lingzhi could roughly tell why the teacher had called her over.
Jiang Lingzhi glanced at the subject representative sitting on the opposite side and blinked. âMiss, do you think that I have copied someoneâs homework?â
The English teacher was speechless.
âNo, thatâs not what I mean.â
Jiang Lingzhi appeared as if she was suddenly enlightened. âOh! Then you mean that Iâve lent my homework for others to copy?â
The English teacher originally intended to just remind her tactfully that she should not lend her test papers to other students again in the future so that other students would have nowhere to copy their answers from.
She hadnât expected that Jiang Lingzhi would just say it out directly and appeared completely at ease, which made her wonder if she had wronged her. The English teacher glanced at the opposite side. âHadnât you?â
âMiss,â Jiang Lingzhi stared into her eyes earnestly and replied, âIf someone wants to copy homework, the person who got copied from canât stop him.â The English teacher was speechless again.
âEven if I donât let him copy, he can choose to copy from other people.â âAlso, if they really want to copy, they can always search for answers on the
Internet when they are at home.â
âSo I think that even though they copied their homework, at least they had also completed it seriously. Thatâs much better than handing in an empty paper, donât you think?âo
English teacher was flabbergasted.
How was she able to make the act of copying homework sound so reasonable?
The English teacher finally reacted and was about to rebut, but Jiang Lingzhi lowered her eyelids and spoke again, âOf course, I know that copying homework is not right. I was wrong. I shouldnât have lent them my paper for reference, even if they just wanted to check their answers!â
The English teacher was tongue-tied again.
She confessed her mistake too quickly, and her attitude was extraordinarily sincere, but why did her words sound a bit wrong?
The English teacher fell into deep contemplation.
Jiang Lingzhiâs gaze flickered briefly across the English teacherâs desk. âItâs alright if itâs just the ordinary students who did this, but if the subject representative took the lead in copying homework, wonât it be a bad influence?â
The English teacher nodded affirmatively and said fervently, âOf course, the subject representative must take the lead and set a good example for the students!â
Jiang Lingzhi nodded. âI think some students are just unsure, so they wanted to check their answers. Thatâs much better than copying the entire essay, am I right?â
The English teacher was taken aback. âWhat do you mean?â
Jiang Lingzhi raised her hand and knocked twice on the full mark essay paper. âThis essay is the model essay for the simulated college entrance examination of Jiangsu Province in 201*. This student did great, not even the punctuation marks are modified. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The English teacher was at a loss for words.o
The English teacher was shocked. She looked at the test paper again, and subconsciously asked an irrelevant question, âHow do you know that this is the model essay for the college entrance examination in that year?â
Jiang Lingzhi blinked her eyes, and obediently replied, âI happened to see it before, so I had the impression.â
She had good academic performance, and she was usually well-behaved, so most teachers would have good impressions of her.
Therefore, the English teacher believed to a great extent in what she said.
She then glanced down at the name on the test paper..
