The gaokao is a crucial turning point in a student's career, as its results determine the kind of university they can get into, and at the same time shape the student's future trajectory.
The impact of college entrance examination results is not limited to students' mastery of knowledge points, and some small details may also affect academic performance, such as students' writing style.
With the rise of the internet age, handwriting has become quite rare, yet students are still required to do so in their notes, assignments, and exams.
Although students deal with "handwriting" on a day-to-day basis, each student's writing style varies widely, with some handwriting flowing and others scribbling illegible.
It is not simply assumed that good handwriting will lead to high scores, but students with poor handwriting rarely get excellent results on exams, especially in liberal arts courses such as Chinese.
In recent years, some popular fonts have emerged and become popular among students, and many high school students have begun to emulate these influencer fonts.
Among them, whale fall and cheese are the two most popular fonts imitated by students, although they are both Internet celebrity fonts, but teachers' attitudes towards these two fonts are completely different.
The simplification of some strokes, such as the reduction of the character "口" from 3 to 2, causes the shape to look more like an inverted triangle than a traditional font. As a result of this simplification, marking teachers often mistake them for typos and may deduct marks when marking them, especially for questions such as dictation in Chinese test papers.
In contrast, whale falls are very popular with marking teachers. The glyphs of the whale fall appear less formal and serious, with some playful and endearing features. Its "character style" is also softer, and teachers are generally reluctant to deduct points after reading it, and even say that it is much better than the cheese body.
This shows that some good-looking influencer fonts are not suitable for exams and may affect students' grades. Therefore, students need to be cautious when imitating.
In addition to cheese and whale falls, there are also some fonts that will also cause trouble for the marking teacher. For example, although the "ant body" is faster to write, its visual effect is poor, and the dense arrangement makes it difficult for the teacher to understand.
In addition, the "fence body" is also a minefield, its glyph is straight, there is no gap between adjacent words, and the shape is like a fence, which needs to be carefully distinguished to be clear. Since the marking teacher does not have enough time to distinguish the paper word by word, it may lead to a deduction of points, and these two fonts may also affect the mood of the marking teacher, making it difficult to obtain a paper score.
In the high school entrance examination, the most suitable font is "typographic". This font is horizontal and vertical, and the distance between words is moderate, so it looks clear no matter how many words are written. Although the print may appear rigid and unsightly to students, it is an option that will not be deducted from the exam.
If students want to show their personal style, they don't need to practice Xi popular influencer fonts, because the students' original fonts already have a unique personal color. In the exam, the score of the paper is not determined by the beauty of the handwriting, but by whether the handwriting is clear and neat. As long as the students write neatly and the teacher can recognize them at a glance, there is no need to worry about being deducted from the paper.
In addition to handwriting, there are other factors that can affect the volume score. Some students didn't think hard before putting pen to paper, resulting in mistakes being discovered halfway through and having to be crossed out and rewritten. Such extensive corrections can make the entire paper look confusing, and the teacher may deduct points for it. In addition, some students like to use "ligatures" and think that the "cursive" written in this way is cool, but the test paper may be distorted after the computer scanning, and the teacher will see a dense patch, which may also lead to the deduction of marks on the paper.
In addition, students' use of "cursive" in exams is not necessarily understood by the teacher, so it is wiser to maintain a standardized handwriting when taking the exam. In addition, students' typography questions can also lead to point deductions, especially when solving large math problems, and if they find that they have missed a step in the middle of the process, they can add it elsewhere and point it with an arrow.
Overall, handwriting has an important impact on test scores, however, many students don't pay enough attention to it, and some even think that just writing beautifully on the test is enough.
It should be noted that good handwriting is not a one-time achievement, and it is not easy to achieve a good level of handwriting during the exam without paying attention to handwriting. Moreover, poor handwriting may affect the speed of answering questions, resulting in the paper not being completed. Therefore, students should pay attention to the details of writing in their daily Xi.
