The news of a 9-year-old girl Zhang Yiwen that participated in the gaokao in Henan province has raised great attention from the society.
河南省9岁的小女孩张易文参加高考的新闻引起了人们极大的关注。Zhang's father Zhang Yadong announced her score: 46 in Chinese, 37 in math, 37 in English, and 58 in the comprehensive ability test.
近日，其父张亚东公布了她的高考成绩单：语文46分，数学31分，英语37分，综合58分，总分172分。Zhang Yiwen said she was not nervous at all when she took the exams. Her father said Yiwen's performance in the exam was quite general, and that there would be better preparation needed to have a chance in next year's gaokao.
张易文表示，她在考试时一点也不紧张。她的父亲则表示：“张易文今年的高考发挥一般，接下来还要好好准备，来年继续参加高考。”
Intelligence seems to run in the family. Zhang's father finished all the courses in 8 years and then went to Beijing University to study. After he got his doctor's degree, he became a teacher himself. When his daughter turned 4, Zhang and his wife started home schooling Zhang.
这家人好像都天资聪颖。张易文的父亲8年就学完了中小学全部课程，之后考上北大，博士毕业后当了一名教师。在女儿张易文4岁的时候，张亚东就和他的妻子在家里辅导女儿学习。“Four years ago my wife and I went back to our hometown of Shangqiu and established an old-style private school. Our daughter stayed at home and learned from us. Based on her own situation, she finished primary school courses and a portion of middle school hope she can have a happy learning process,” said Zhang Yadong.
张亚东表示：“4年前，我和妻子回到商丘老家，办了一个私塾，让孩子在家跟着我们学习。我和妻子根据女儿的情况，教了她学习小学和部分中学课程。我们希望她有一个愉快的学习体验。”Zhang Yadong signed his daughter up for the 2016 gaokao during this year's spring festival and spent a couple of months helping her with her preparation for the science comprehensive ability test.
据悉，张亚东是在春节前为自己的女儿报名的2016年高考，并花了几个月的时间为她补习理科综合课程。
