After the three people talked animatedly, they went to a state-owned ice cream parlor facing the street and each ordered an ice cream.

Liu Yan said: "Judging from the current situation, things at the bamboo factory have almost progressed and are relatively smooth.

In the coming time, we should focus mainly on reviewing basic subject knowledge in middle school, and the year will pass quickly."

"I have found the middle school textbooks. This time when I return to Yuanping, I will get into review mode as soon as possible." Zhou Haiyang said.

"I'm going to ask Pei Xiaohong to find a teacher from Yongfeng County No. 1 Middle School to get some of the latest textbooks and review materials for this class of middle school students."

"This should be no problem. I can also ask the head teacher of the County No. 1 Middle School to help." Fan Lili said from the side.

"For the college entrance examination, the basic knowledge in middle school must be solid. Although the county is small, it has many convenient conditions. If you don't know the place, you can always ask the teacher for advice.

If possible, let all the educated youths from Yuanping who have some knowledge take part in the college entrance examination review." Liu Yan continued.

"If that doesn't work, you can make a few more copies of the review materials at the printing shop in the county. Doesn't Liang Ming know someone who does printing in Yongfeng County?" Zhou Haiyang said.

"I remembered it! There is another way to get a lot of review materials... When I return to Yongfeng County this time, I will make an appointment with the educated youths in the county who have returned to the city.

Haiyang, call Pei Xiaohong tomorrow and tell you the time when we will return to Yongfeng County, and ask her to make appointments with the educated youth in the county in advance.

This time the educated youth center has a holiday, and many educated youths in the county have gone home.

Just in time to get together."

"What do you mean, are you planning to tell them about this?" Zhou Haiyang said.

"Yes! Regarding the resumption of the college entrance examination next year, only you two know about it at the moment.

I have thought about it for a long time, and it’s time to tell them. Tell them in advance so that everyone can be prepared. I hope that every educated youth will not miss this fate-changing moment."

"It is estimated that Liang Ming and Wang Qiang may not apply for the exam by then. They didn't like studying when they were in County No. 1 Middle School and dropped out of high school before graduating from high school." Fan Lili said.

"It's everyone's business whether they want it or not. In short, this opportunity is fair to everyone. It depends on you whether you can grasp it. By the way, there are also university majors. Have you both considered it?"

"I sometimes think about it these days, but I haven't made up my mind," Zhou Haiyang said.

"You should consider it. The major you choose in college should first be combined with your own interests, hobbies, expertise, strengths, and future development direction.

Only by combining these factors can learning be interesting, and only then can we learn well, learn deeply, and learn thoroughly.

Of course, in addition to combining your own factors, you must also consider the needs of the future development of the country and society.

Only by combining the two can we maximize the value and better realize our career plans and goals."

"Liu Yan, do you have any ideas or suggestions about applying for majors..." Zhou Haiyang then asked.

"In the future, China will definitely follow the path of reform and opening up. While learning from the experience of advanced countries, it will also follow a path with socialist characteristics.

At the same time, we will strive to catch up with developed countries in the world and make up for the time lost in these years.

The central task for a long time to come must be to vigorously develop the economy.

And there will definitely emerge a socialist market economy with public ownership as the main body and multiple economic systems coexisting.

This direction will not deviate from the socialist path, nor will it completely copy the practices of capitalist countries.

Therefore, we need our generation to continuously explore a path suitable for China's market economy through hard work and practice.

I personally want to do more in-depth study and research on the economic aspect in the future, especially on the socialist rural economy.

Therefore, my first choice major is the Department of Economics at Yenching University. If you two are also interested in this field, the three of us can apply for the same department together.

Economics is an independent subject, but it is currently classified as a liberal arts subject in China.

When the first test of the college entrance examination is resumed, the main tests will be Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, and politics. For those studying economics, mathematics is especially important."

"I don't worry about math. I was always number one in school.

The key is Chinese. I always failed in my compositions in middle school.

As for politics, it's not a big problem. It's mainly about rote memorization. Besides, over the years, I've talked about it every day, every month, and every year. It's been in my mind almost every day and I haven't given up.

It’s just history and geography, and you know that students in our class have learned nothing at all from these two subjects.”

"It doesn't matter, most of those are rote memorization.

In addition, if you can prepare in time, don’t give up on English. Although non-foreign language majors are not required to take an English test, we can apply for an additional English test when registering.

First of all, if we do well in English, we can add points to our scores, and this is the weakness of most candidates, especially those who are not fresh graduates.

Secondly, English will be very useful in the future society. It is just a good opportunity to take the college entrance examination to pick it up again and test my own level.

Besides, we are taking the exam for the Department of Economics, so even if we do not do well in the English exam, it will not have any impact on our overall score in the college entrance examination.

If your English scores are good, you will have a greater chance of admission given the same score."

"Yenjing University or Qinhua University must have higher score requirements than other schools..." Fan Lili said worriedly.

Liu Yan said with a smile: "This is the first time the college entrance examination is resumed, and every school has high requirements.

Think about it, the admission rate is only 5%. As the saying goes, thousands of troops can cross a single-plank bridge..."
