after I listened her husband’s experience, I decided to write them down because these stories are very interesting and impress me a lot. She is Tom’s mum and Tom is Nemo’s classmate in his english school. When we were waiting outside of the classroom we always talked to each other. Tom’s mum is a stay at home mum and she has a daughter who went to England for high school study and her husband is a very successful and rich man. Her husband born in a normal family, his parents were workers and he was very good at study. At that time, if a student lived in a small town who wants to go to the most famous universities then he should has not only the good score but also a recommendation letter. Her husband definitely owned the recommendation letter but he was afraid that someone who has backstage and faced some unfair competition. In that summer when those famous universities’ teachers visited their city and reviwed the papers by themselves，her husband bought a bottle of orange juice and waited outside of classroom. He asked those teachers who went out the classroom one by one that are you fudan university’s teacher until someone said yes. And then he gave the bottle of orange juice to the teacher and he said my name is xxx and I am very good at sports so I can have additional 30 points of sports in total grade. He even didn’t say how many prizes he carried off in physics and math competition but the teacher said I‘m impressed with you. Then he went to Fudan university successfully in 1988.
