There
is a new novel called The 33rd Student. It's very unusual because 32 students
wrote it together.
Students
from Class 1, Grade 2 of Hangzhou Qingchun Middle School began to write the novel
last October. This March, they finished their 330, 000-word story.
It
was Zhou Hui, the class's Chinese teacher that had the great idea. Some
students thought writing was boring. Zhou wanted to change their minds. The
class had fierce（热烈的） discussions about the
storyline and main character.
The
novel is a story about Nan Yao, a student new to Class 1.Nan is a tall boy with
tanned（晒黑的）
skin. He is from Hebei.
Each
student was assigned（分配） one part to write. Together,
there are 32 stories about Nan's life since he came to Class 1.Students tried
their best while writing the story. Huang Yiying, 14, said she got up at
midnight to write down the idea for her story. Chen Tianbai, 14, wrote about a
birthday party. He found it hard to imagine. So he held a party for his 14th
birthday, wrote down what happened and turned it into his story.
Zhou
said most students revised（修改） their stories three
times." Now, none of them are afraid of writing. They have written so much
themselves!"
The
novel will be printed（印刷） and each student will
get a copy. "It will be a very precious（宝贵的） memory
for them." said Zhou.
