Zhejiang Provincial Education Examination Institute responds to the full-score essay (with original text) Zhejiang Provincial Education Examination Institute: There is no problem with the marking process

"The first step, the wings spread, the diligent and hard-working, the enchanted", "Heidegger, Calvino, MacIntyre, Weber"... these obscure words, philosophers beyond the knowledge of ordinary high school students, they appear in the Zhejiang College Entrance Examination composition "Living in Trees", which scored full marks.

Netizens commented that it was "obscure and difficult to read", and for this reason, the article sparked public controversy after it was released to the public.

In fact, the road to full marks for this article was quite tortuous. According to an article published on the WeChat public account of Zhejiang Education Monthly, "Teaching Monthly", the first examiner of the essay only gave it 39 points, but the next two teachers both gave it a high score of 55 points, and finally the essay review group gave it full marks.

The writing style of this college entrance examination essay and its "counterattack" also made a Jiangsu Province college entrance examination essay "Thinking of the Sky" written 13 years ago a hot topic. When the latter was grading the paper, the first teacher gave it 36 ​​points, the second teacher gave it 42 points, and the third gave it 38 points. In the end, He Yongkang, the head of the Jiangsu Province College Entrance Examination Chinese Language Grading Group, judged it to be 53 points, which was 16 points higher.

"These two essays are simply two extremes." "The former is too gorgeous, and the latter is too simple." There are a series of strict standards for scoring college entrance examination essays. Behind the "rescued" essays, there are also reflections on the college entrance examination talent selection and excellent essays.

"College entrance examination essays encourage students to express themselves in a personalized way. Whether they are gorgeous or simple, they can get high scores, and students can demonstrate different professional abilities." said Vice Dean Xiong Bingqi.
