Exams are mostly comprehensive, lengthy composition of words and questions. However, in Sichuan Province in China, a high school teacher showed creativity and put emoticons on her school tests.

The 34-year-old biology teacher from Chengdu No. 20 Middle School, named Zheng Jian created a cartoon figure named "Xiao Wang"- a single college boy with funny facial expressions.

The high school teacher reportedly designed questions using Xiao Wang emoticons and printed them on the test papers.

With this unique and unusual phenomenon, the students welcomed the idea and proudly posted the test papers on the social media.

"I always feel nervous about pop quizzes. But the emoticons on this test paper look very funny, which make me relax," said one of Zheng's students.

According to Zheng, he created the test papers in order to relieve the stress and tension among his students during exams. He also revealed that the test papers are designed personally by him and it took him a whole day to prepare it. He also said that since he received positive feedbacks, he would love to do it in his future exams.

"Students in senior grades in high school are facing higher pressure and intensive learning tasks, which have worn them out. I hope my little idea can make them relax, and help deepen their knowledge of biology," Zheng said.
