Jin Yu: There are two blanks here, what to fill in? 1. thethree_______ offantriangleaddupto180°.
2.an_______isaspiritwhoisbelieved tocarrymessagesfromgod.
Xixi: The first blank is filled in "angles", which means that the sum of triangles of a triangle is 180 degrees. I don't know what to fill in for the second blank.
Taorui: The second blank is filled in "angel", which means that the angel is God's messenger.
Xianxian: Do these two words look like twins?
Zhengyu: The two look too similar, it is really hard to distinguish if you are not careful.
Xixi: Teacher, how do you spell that devil?
Jin Yu: It feels really good if you don’t deal with the devil. - I’m just kidding you, does anyone know?
Lanlan: I learned the article on Halloween in the third unit of the compulsory study.
Yangyang: I remember the teacher once said, "What is the Demon Saint Witch?" I can't remember the sentence.
Lili: In order to facilitate memory, the "demon holy witch" is simplified, namely angels, devils, saints and witches.
Taorui: I have recited this sentence, let’s see if it’s right. “tocelebrate allsouls’day, peoplemade bigbonbonfires and dressed upasangels, devils, saints and witches.”
Pengjie: You are completely correct. You have a good memory. To celebrate the All Spirits Day, people lit a bonfire and dressed up as a demon witch.
Jinyu: Where is your test paper?
Zhuoran: Sorry, the test paper is lost.
Jinyu: Why don’t you look for it now?
Zhuoran: I can't remember it anymore.
Xu Jing: Oh no, you are shorter again.
Zhuoran: I don’t understand why.
Jingjue: Not doing the test paper is equivalent to waste paper, and only by taking it seriously will you make progress.
Pengjie: Gorky once said: "Books are the ladder of human progress." In fact, test papers can also raise themselves.
Huihui: That's really the case. We might as well do an arithmetic question. If, I mean, if each test paper helps us get one point for the college entrance examination, then think about it. If you do 100 test papers per subject in three years of high school, you can't get 600 points in the college entrance examination in six subjects? Isn't it easy to get a one-book?
Zhuoran: You are really good at settle accounts. In this way, it is difficult to accumulate one by one without going to college.
Xixi: The test papers really cannot be treated as waste paper, otherwise I would be really sorry for myself.
Yangyang: Stepping on the ladder of human progress, raising yourself up one by one.
Dongdong: It’s exciting to think about it, but it’s really not okay to think from the perspective of others.
Pengjie: The teacher’s requirements are not high. It is not difficult to get one point for one test paper.
Xuanxuan: In the future, you must take the test paper seriously, unless you are on the ground and don’t want to make progress.
Yuanyuan: It is easy to give up hard work, but it is difficult to achieve yourself. I really can't underestimate it.
Pengjie: If you are afraid of difficulties, you are not a hero. We will definitely face difficulties.
Jianwu: Go up the steps, climb up to the distance, have a broad vision and unlimited scenery.
Yaqin: "I will climb to the top of the mountain and see all the mountains."
Zhengyu: Go up the steps and move forward with burdens. Going forward with hardships, you should not be more willing to suffer.
Xinxin: Learning that the roots are bitter and the fruits are sweet, we move forward all the way.
