Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true for composition. A good start can lay the foundation for a smooth development of the article. The ancients wrote articles and compared a good beginning to a "crest", which makes sense. An opening that can make people fall in love at first sight and trigger endless reveries in others can often add a lot of color to your article. Especially in exam-oriented essays, "crested" can attract the attention of examiners and make your essay stand out.

The beginning of a good composition should be: first simple, second new, and third beautiful.

The so-called simplicity means that the beginning should be concise and clear, without being wordy and repetitive. For example:

Everyone has a home, some are happy, some are happy and warm, some are united and harmonious, and some are deserted and lonely. Similarly, I also have a family, but my family is different from other families. My family values ??democracy and loves science. "I Have Such a Family"

The content that could be written clearly in just one sentence has to be preceded by so many long-winded narratives, making the beginning seem sloppy. You might as well modify it as follows:

If you want to ask me what kind of family I have, I can answer you in one sentence. I have a family that values ??democracy and loves science.

Delete all the nonsense and make it appear straightforward and clean.

The so-called new means that the beginning is unconventional, novel and unique. For example:

I am a little bird, a little bird with its wings cut off. I flutter in the miserable wind and rain, but I don’t want to lose my way.

A voice calls from the bottom of my heart: I want to fly, I want to fly high... - Inscription

I am a middle school student, running around in the "sea of ??inscriptions" all day long. "I Want to Fly High"

The author writes the call from the heart in the form of "inscription". "Fly high", be the master of learning, and find your lost personality from the overwhelming pile of homework. This beginning is eye-catching.

The so-called beauty means that the beginning can give people a sense of beauty.

First of all, we can use vivid descriptions, such as:

1. Through the window, I saw the flowers of the locust tree blooming again. It still blooms as white, crystal clear and fragrant. "Locust Tree Flower"

2. Finally, in the dim lights of the road, the bloated body of the No. 51 bus appeared. People who had been waiting for more than an hour in the night began to come alive. "Squeeze the Car"

Secondly, we can use appropriate rhetoric and quoted poetry. Such as:

1. Maternal love is as long-lasting as a long river, as fresh and sweet as a spring. I am also a lucky person who is bathed in the sunshine of maternal love. "Endless Love"

2. "The flowers have no choice but to fall away, and the familiar swallows return." Whenever I think of this poem, I can't help but think of the face of Pu Pu in front of my eyes, the flowing Pu in the pen, and Qian's English comes to mind again. "Good Teacher"

In short, as long as the content is fresh, the form is novel, and the language is bright, such an opening will give people a sense of beauty.

There are many common ways to start an article, including the following:

1. Get straight to the point and go directly to the topic

Don’t go around in circles at the beginning, just hit the topic directly, using Thor In the words of Sty, it is "toward the goal from the beginning." Narratives that focus on people can directly describe the characters or directly describe the characters through descriptions of portraits, dialogues, actions, etc.; narratives that focus on narratives can point out the time, place and relevant background of the event at the beginning. Such as:

1. The days are getting lighter and lighter, and the sky is getting higher and higher. Summer is coming... "Summer"

A few crosses vividly express the characteristics of summer, going straight to the theme and fascinating.

2． Outside the window, rain hits the plantains; inside the curtain, a lamp looks like a bean. Sip a cup of tea, hold a good book, and spend a quiet night alone. "Talk about Tea on a Rainy Night"

It begins with only two sentences, concise and to the point yet full of charm.

3． Her name is Wang Jingjing, and she was my class monitor when I was in the second grade of junior high school. Although we have been separated for more than a year, the anecdotes of the class monitor are still vivid in my mind and unforgettable. "There is such a good monitor"

4. The father picked up the hoe and drew a full circle. "Bang", a clod of soil broke into pieces.

"Dad, let me come back and help you!" The words he had been holding in his heart finally came out. Only half of the beautiful arc was drawn, and the hoe flew forward following Newton's second law of motion. "Father's Love"

5. Teacher Tang is sick.

When the evening class was about to end, the students all sat in their seats sadly. The classroom is as silent as dead water. "True Love"

2. Write the scenery and exaggerate the atmosphere

At the beginning, I start by writing the scenery and exaggerating the atmosphere, so as to set off the characters and unfold the story. Such as:

6. During the blooming season, the fragrance is everywhere, but I have no intention of watching it because at this time I lost my classmate and friend Qiang. "Classmates"

7． The morning sun comes out, and the lake dresses it up; the new moon comes up, and the stars keep it company; the spring flowers bloom, and the green leaves set it off; the birds sing, and the crickets play the piano for it... Everything in the world is telling us about care. story. "Love Forever"

8. The summer night is very deep.

Occasionally, the sound of frogs in the water and cicadas on the trees can be heard, and the breeze blows, bringing a slight chill. I pondered and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. I was just a freshman in high school, and by chance, my debut novel was published in the newspaper. I was so happy that I forgot everything. I actually wasted my time in a daze. It wasn't until tonight that I realized that I seemed to be missing something. "Love, Invisible"

3. Lyrical discussion, set the tone

Use a few brief comments and affectionate words to start the article, or to impress the readers, or Point out the main idea and start the following. Such as:

9. Turning over the pages of the heavy history book, the shouts of the young students in Beijing more than 80 years ago seemed to ring in my ears, and the blazing flames that burned down the Zhaojia Building seemed to be reflected in front of my eyes. "The May Fourth Flag is Forever"

The author uses an affectionate tone to introduce us to the wave of the "May Fourth Movement", allowing us to meditate on the long river of history.

10． Whenever night falls, the floating clouds in the western sky will tug at the wings of my heart, leading my chaotic thoughts to fly to that vast and distant place to find my father...

Dad, can you see me? You are alone, floating in heaven, can you take care of yourself? My sister, brother and I are all fine now. It is just my mother who is in trouble at home. "Dad, I say to you..."

The author's true confession brings readers into the author's emotional world, creating a sad and sad atmosphere for the article. Let the readers follow the author's thoughts to taste the hardships, strength and loneliness of the mother after losing her father. The feelings are sincere and tear-jerking.

11． The summer vacation is finally here. Like a little bird that I have been waiting for for a long time, I burst out of the "birdcage" and flew to the countryside. I went to my grandma's house to relax my muscles and breathe fresh air.

I decided to learn to roller skate during this summer vacation. "I Can Do It"

12. Grandpa is my favorite relative. I spent my childhood at my grandfather's house. It was my grandpa who held my hand and taught me how to walk; it was my grandpa who made me understand a lot of truths since I was a child. I regard my grandfather as a crutch for my childhood. "I Love Grandpa"

4. Set up suspense and lead to the following

Setting up suspense is a way to start by deliberately leaving doubts to stimulate readers' psychological expectations. Setting up suspense at the beginning can catch the reader's heart, inspire people to think, and have a fascinating effect. Such as:

13. I think I will never forget that day, that warm smile on that misty and rainy day...

"That Rain, That Smile"

That rain, that day, that smile What is special about a smile is that it is highly attractive and contagious.

14. The wall clock walked calmly and rhythmically, "tick tock, tick tock..." It's almost 4 o'clock, why hasn't mom come back yet? "Worry"

15. What will my tomorrow be like? When I am running between two points and one line of life, when I am struggling in the endless sea of ??problems, I often ask myself this. "Facing Tomorrow"

16. Lu Xun's "Blessings" begins with the story that Sister Xianglin died amidst the blessings of people in Lu Town, which naturally arouses people's concern about the fate of Sister Xianglin and stimulates readers' interest in reading the novel.

5. Quoting poems and highlighting the center

Starting with a witty quote from a poem or a famous aphorism can not only stimulate the reader's imagination and interest, but also improve the taste of the article; it can also reveal The main content can also highlight characters and events.

17. "A person's biggest enemy is himself. As long as you believe you can do it, you will be successful." This is my favorite quote. Whenever I see it and the report card that is no longer clear in front of my bed, the dreamlike past appears in front of my eyes. "Past Events"

18. "Mother, you are the lotus leaf, and I am the red lotus. When the raindrops in my heart come, who is the shade of my unobstructed sky except you?" Whenever I read these words of Ms. Bing Xin praising her mother, I think I couldn't help but think of my loving mother who was short and thin but shouldered the burden of the whole family's life alone. "Mother's Love is Boundless"

6. Use rhetoric to enhance literary grace

The ancients said: "Words are without words, but actions are not far away." It can be seen that literary talent plays an important role in articles, A brilliant opening with clever rhetoric is undoubtedly very attractive. Such as:

19. A little less childish, a little more mature; a little less impetuous, a little more steady; a little less attached, a little more strong - the boys in the third grade of junior high school are a rather eye-catching group. "Boy in the Third Grade of Junior High School"

The author uses three parallel sentences in a row to complete the story in one go. It is catchy and powerful to read. Contrast is used in parallelism, the language is concise, the praise and criticism are clear, and it is rich in literary talent. Another example:

20. Time is a piece of paper, the goal is a pen, and success is a phrase. When we add up countless successes, life becomes a dazzling article. Time is fleeting and fleeting. Therefore, we must quickly pick up the target pen and practice writing. Life is like practicing calligraphy. "Life is like writing"

The use of metaphors makes the article easy to understand, explain the profound things in a simple way, but also lively, novel and unique.

7. Use inscriptions to reveal the true meaning

Set up a meaningful inscription, which can often produce unexpected results. Such as:

21. My mother once said to me: "When people live in the world, they are destined to chase the sun. However, when you chase the sun, the night is also chasing you. If you chase the sun, its blazing heat will melt you; and you If you are overtaken by the night, its gloom will engulf you. If you learn to stay between the sun and the night, you will learn to grow." "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms"

This philosophical inscription firmly grasps the reader's heartstrings, and then the author explains the meaning of philosophy with two life pictures that condense the meaning of life, allowing readers to understand the true meaning of life in a poetic and picturesque way.

8. Breaking the boundaries, dislocating time and space

Deliberately breaking the boundaries of time and space, or looking back at history, or looking forward to the future, or east, west, north, south, or heaven and earth, using an almost absurd technique A way to express real life and attract readers’ attention. Such as:

22． "I'm going to ask for help today." A distant sound penetrated two thousand two hundred years of time and space and came from the sky.

——This is self-recommendation. "Impressions after Reading "Mao Sui Self-Recommendation""

It takes the lead and draws the reader's thoughts into the depths of history, naturally leading to the theme of the article.

23. What is beauty?

With this eternal problem, I ride the horse of time on the avenue of space. "What is Beauty"

Then the author wrote about the discovery of beauty in Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period, Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Paris, France in the 15th century, and concluded that as long as we are good at discovery, willing to appreciate, and brave in creation, The conclusion is that beauty will definitely come to us. Gives people a refreshing feeling.

No matter which way you start, as long as you can fully demonstrate your personality and talents, effectively attract the reader's attention, and lead to the following text smoothly, it can be regarded as a "crest". Of course, "all roads lead to Rome", I believe there is a better way. The above is for reference only. If it has the effect of attracting jade, be "lucky even"!

Supplement:

Get straight to the point

"Get straight to the point" is a metaphor The saying refers to the way of writing that goes straight to the topic when writing an article. Candidates must express their opinions at the beginning. This method is widely used in the writing of various articles and occupies a large proportion. The angle of its expression can be to directly state the subject at the beginning, or to point out the topic directly; it can either open the chapter to clearly reveal the main idea, or it can directly point out the argument. This writing method is crisp and clear, and it is quick to enter the question, so it is the preferred way to start the essay in the examination room.

Creating Conflict

Teacher Zeng said that the composition genre for the high school entrance examination is generally narrative. When writing, candidates must be good at creating contradictions at the beginning of the article. Only by developing the storyline in the contradiction can it attract people. When writing, if candidates break out of the conventional "sequential narrative" thinking and create conflicts, they can quickly capture the readers' hearts and attract the marking teacher to continue reading. In addition, showing readers the conflicting focus of the event at the beginning of the article will help enhance the tortuousness and readability of the article.

Environmental description can not only enhance the atmosphere, but also set off the characters and promote the development of the storyline. Writing a scene and plot description at the beginning of the article can provide a background for the story, bring the reader into a specific story atmosphere, and play a fascinating role.

Make good use of famous quotes

Quoting some aphorisms, famous quotes, poems or sayings, proverbs, etc. at the beginning of the article can attract readers and highlight the center. This opening method is also easy for candidates to master and use. Most candidates will remember a few ancient poems, a few proverbs or famous quotes. If the famous aphorism-style beginning is used properly, it can often enhance the momentum of the article, but candidates should try to be as accurate as possible when quoting to avoid intellectual errors.

Without deviating from the topic, candidates can also quote some common couplets at the beginning of the article, or even quote familiar lyrics from songs, in order to elicit the narrative lyricism below. Such a beginning is not only easy to arouse readers' excitement, but also increases literary talent, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
