Cheering crowds gathered Thursday in front of many of the 1,190 test sites, including Yongsan High School in Seoul, to wish best of luck to students taking possibly the most important test for youths here. They beat drums and cheered loudly early in the morning, as test takers made their way through the school gate.
'It does not feel real (that it is Suneung day) yet. Time went faster than I thought and I am a little nervous,” Park Sung-ho, a third-year student at Hwanil High School in Seoul, told The Korea Herald as he entered the test site in Yongsan.
“I hope I do not get too nervous (taking the exam) and want to do well, as usual.”
Suneung is the culmination of 12 years of elementary, middle and high school education for students in Korea, and a rite of passage into adulthood. For the sake of the national exam, airplanes waited on land and in the air for takeoffs and landing temporarily, while the opening of banks and government institutes were delayed an hour to keep traffic off the streets in the morning.
Koh Jung-hee, a mother who came to send off her son, stood in the crowd at Yongsan High School and prayed.
“I am more nervous. I believe my son will do well because he is very calm and has been preparing a lot (for the exam). I told him to solve the problems as usual,” Koh told The Korea Herald before hurriedly leaving for church to pray for good results.
Those who came to cheer on their seniors expressed both excitement and worries.
“We have been here since 5:30 a.m. to show support and wish good luck to our seniors,” said Kim Yu-jin, a second-year student at Hwanil High School. “I am not sure if I will be able to smile like this for my Suneung next year. I will try. I wish best of luck to all today.”
According to the Education Ministry, 594,924 people applied to take the test this year, 11,397 more than last year.
The level of difficulty for this year’s Suneung appears to be similar to that of the previous year. The test results will be released on Dec. 5.
The multi-subject standardized test officially started at 8:40 a.m. and ended at 5:40 p.m. All test takers were to be seated in test venues by 8:10 a.m.
While cold waves have often hit the country on Suneung days -- which take place on the third Thursday in November -- the weather was warmer than last year.
Across the country, the morning temperatures went down as low as 2 degrees Celsius, and climbed up to range between 13 C and 18 C during the day.
However, fine dust levels were in the “bad” range in the metropolitan regions, including Seoul, South Chungcheong and North Jeolla provinces, according to the National Institute of Environmental Research. Some students were seen wearing masks.
Regional police agencies dispatched hundreds of police officers around cities to help transport test takers in case of emergencies, and to manage traffic.
City and provincial governments expanded the operation of public transportation. Some cities also had emergency transportation vehicles ready near stations to transport students to their designated test sites.
Airplane takeoffs and landings at airports near test sites were banned during the English listening comprehension test from 1:05 p.m. to 1:40 p.m., and activities at nearby construction sites were also held off.
Banks, stock markets and government offices opened an hour late at 10 a.m. to keep traffic off the streets. The closing time for the stock market was pushed back to 4:30 p.m.
Over a typo made in one of the questions of the Korean Language test, the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation apologized and said that it found the mistake on Saturday, after all test sheets were printed.
“We considered reprinting the test sheets, but we concluded it was physically difficult, due to a lack of time. So we decided to distribute errata along with the test today,” said Lee Gang-rae, chairman of the examination committee, on Thursday.
While the typo did not hinder solving the question, Lee said the committee will prevent future mistakes from occurring.

Each year in the beginning of June, millions of students take the gaokao, China’s National College Entrance Examination. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the gaokao back one month. This week, more than 10 million will take the exam across China.
The lone criterion for admission into Chinese universities, the gaokao is a high-stakes exam on which students’ entire future depends.
Scored on a scale of 750 points with questions varying from province to province, the gaokao generally includes tests of Chinese literature, mathematics and a foreign language (in most cases English).

Lasting 10 hours over two or three days of grueling multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank and essay questions, the exam is something students spend 12 years studying for in hopes of getting admission to their university of choice.

Just how difficult are the essays and fill-in-the-blank questions? We’ve compiled some real questions that have appeared on previous tests.
(Click here to try out some multiple choice questions featured on recent exams).
Essays
Test takers are usually given two types of essays – “big” (700-800 words) and “micro” (150 words). Answers are then graded by an evaluator.
Recent essays have come under fire for “perplexing” prompts. Students taking the gaokao in Hunan in 2013 were baffled by the following topic: “It flies upward, and a voice asks if it is tired. It says ‘No’.”
Another prompt on the same test said: “A father is cutting articles out of a newspaper while his child embraces him and says, ‘I’m willing to accompany you just like this.’”
“This is insane,” a netizen wrote of the bizarre questions. “Can somebody please tell me what these two topics are supposed to mean?”
Those aren’t the only incredibly complex essay questions. Here are a few from recent years...
1. Relationships
During your time in high school, there must be something you cannot forget, be it a heated argument with your classmates or the inspiration from others.
Some agency has carried out a research on the relationships between classmates in schools. The result shows that 60% of the students find the relationships consent, while 36% of them consider it OK, and 4% thinks the relationship is unsatisfied. The reason of the intense relationship can be over self-awareness, personality clashes or competition.
Another 72% of the students are quite confident about creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trial designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.
In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.
A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times. It could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.
According to London Underground, only 40% of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.
A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”
Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.
The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.
In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.
(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
1. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?
2. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?
3.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.
4. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.

12. History
After a lesson, a student learning the ancient Roman law system wants to know whether slaves, as the laws state, were “excluded from laws [and] do not have any rights.” In reading a few sources during his research, he recorded the following notes:
① Slavery refers to a person who is not a free person in Roman society and is legally regarded as a matter; a person may become a slave by identity at birth and subject to criminal punishment or captured in war; slaves can be liberated and become free. [1]
② The release of slaves was an important part of Roman law.
③ The Laws of the Twelve Tables contained all the relevant provisions. [2]
④ This indicates that there was a slavery phenomenon.
From the end of the Republican period to the Imperial System, the release of slaves became more common with the expansion of the Roman Empire. In the Epistle of the Empire Justice, there were records about the release of a large number of slaves. [3]
Historians say: “A common view in Roman Law is that although slavery is a legitimate social system, it contradicts ‘nature,’ and there are ancient Roman jurists that said from civil law’s point of view, slaves are nothing, but according to the natural law this is not true because all people are equal.” [4]
Sources:
[1] Roman Law Dictionary
[2] Laws of the Twelve Tables, Fifth Table, Section 8, Article XI
[3] Letters of Pliny the Younger on the release of slaves
[4] Kovalov’s Ancient Roman History
Based on this information, answer the following questions:
1. Which of the above “sources” are historical data (as opposed to second-hand historical data)?
2. In the student’s notes (points ①,②,③ and ④), which are factual statements? And which statements are the students’ own evaluations? (4 points)
3. Please help this student explain the reasons for the prevalence of the Roman Empire. (4 points)
