"The teams that passed this round of assessment have been announced. Please attend the third exam in two weeks. The rest of you should keep working hard. I hope you achieve better results next time."
After saying that, the examiner left. Some people in the audience were delighted, while others were downcast. Before long, they too began leaving one after another.
