("Extracted from the 2004 Shaanxi Provincial High School Entrance Examination Evaluation Report")

3. How to review the questions?

1. Clarify and implement the mandatory requirements for high school entrance examination composition. For example, it must be no less than 600 words; there is no limit to the style of writing; plagiarism is not allowed, and some even clearly stipulate that poetry cannot be written; or real names, school names, addresses, etc. appear. These cannot be violated.

2. Analyze the keywords in the proposition and identify the differences with synonyms. Such as "commitment" and "integrity"; "gratitude" and "thank you", etc.

The 2005 high school entrance examination composition pays attention to students' individual experiences and differences in feelings, and the relationship between writing and life. There may be more than two essay topics for students to choose from to expand their writing options. Faced with this situation, how should we choose topics?

4. How to choose the topic of composition?

Example: Please choose one of the following two essay questions and write as required:

1. In daily life, we seem to have become accustomed to the care of our parents and the gifts of our teachers. I feel that this is a matter of course, and I even feel that this kind of concern is annoying and unnecessary. The consciousness of gratitude has become indifferent to nothing in our hearts. Please write a composition of no less than 600 words on the topic of "Learning to be grateful", using the style of your choice. No plagiarism allowed.

2. Please write an essay with the title of "Enlightenment" ("life", "something", "nature", "success", "failure"... etc.). First fill in the blanks with appropriate words to complete the essay question. You are required to choose your own style of writing and the word count should be no less than 600 words. No plagiarism allowed.

1． Follow the principles of selection: ①Choose a topic that you are good at and can freely control. ② Choose a topic with real, touching and typical material. ③Choose a topic that you understand accurately about the content and theme of the composition and will definitely not be biased. ④For students with solid writing skills, choose innovative articles when possible.

2. Learn to formulate questions appropriately. Such as using figures of speech (metaphors, questions, antithesis, personification, etc.); applying famous quotes, song titles, film and television titles, etc. (protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility); rebounding Pipa, reverse propositions (enjoying pain, thanking failure), etc., etc., are not appropriate Copying the topic, without personality, using inaccurate words, showing language errors, overly long questions, and complicated meanings.

5. How to conceive: (summary)

Writing training for the above two compositions. 2 people each, 2 examples, summary:

(Example 1) How can I thank you, my mother?

When I was 1 year old, my mother fed me milk and bathed me, but I would only cry and fuss all night long to "thank" her.

When I was 2 years old, my mother taught me to walk, but I would only naughtily crawl to "thank" her when she called my name.

......

When I was 5 years old, my mother dressed me in new festive clothes, but I would only get covered in mud to "thank" her.

When I was 6 years old, my mother sent me to school, but I would only shout "I don't want to go to school" to "thank" her.

......

When I was 9 years old, my mother reminded me not to play certain games, but I "thanked" her by playing them when she was not at home.

……

When I was 12 years old, my mother cried at my elementary school graduation ceremony. Yet I "thanked" her by staying up all night at the prom instead of going home.

When I was 13 years old, my mother paid for my junior high school tuition and carried me with a heavy box all the way to school. However, I thought you were ugly and I was afraid of you. The classmates laughed at themselves and blocked her outside the dormitory door to "thank" her.

When I was 14, my mother suggested that I get a haircut that she thought would suit me. However, I "thanked" her by saying she was "old-fashioned" and "tasteless".

When I was 15 years old, my mother always expected me to bring her a glass of water or give her a hug when she came home from get off work. However, I ignored her and locked the door to "thank you." she. ...

Learn to be grateful, students! Gratitude, like soil, can plant all things in the world. Never underestimate the power of gratitude. Only when you have responsibility can your life be valuable; if you have responsibilities, can your life be meaningful; only if you can be grateful can your life be colorful.

After all, only maternal love is the most selfless and great! (Yang Wen, junior high school student of the High School Affiliated to Shaanxi Normal University)

(Example 2) Inspiration for success

---How success is made

Smelting raw materials

p>

"Believe in yourself", "Listen to others' opinions", Catalyst "hard work", etc.

Smelting Mechanism

1. Believe in yourself + believe in yourself + catalyst = success

2. Listen to other people’s opinions + listen to other people’s opinions + catalyst = success< /p>

3. Believe in yourself + listen to other people’s opinions + catalyst = success

Smelting process

1. Take two copies of "Believe in yourself", add the catalyst, and pass through the fire It takes six, six and thirty-six days to smelt and come out of the furnace, without processing or with a little processing.

2. Take two portions of "listen to other people's opinions", add a catalyst, smelt it for 7749 days, and then release it from the furnace without processing or with a little processing.

3. First take one part of "Believe in yourself", then take another part of "Listen to other people's opinions", add the catalyst and refine it for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, come out of the furnace, carefully crafted, and tested without error. before leaving the factory.

Product Description

The yield of the first product is 50%. The raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, the fuel consumption is low, and the production cycle is short. However, the product strength is not high and cannot be used in places with slightly higher requirements. According to the survey, its use range is quite wide, its output is very high, and sometimes the supply exceeds the demand.

The second product has a yield of 50%: the raw materials are expensive and difficult to obtain, but the production process is simple, the requirements are not very high, and the fuel consumption is less than the first product. The production cycle is shorter than the third product. The product strength is not very high and cannot be used in places with slightly higher requirements, but it also has a wide range of uses and a large production volume.

The yield rate of the third product is 100%. The price of raw materials is not very cheap, the fuel consumption is high, and the production cycle is the longest. Its temporary profits are not very high, but its long-term profits are immeasurable. Its products are of high quality and suitable for various required strengths. However, the survey results show that its scope of application is narrow and the production volume is extremely small. at present. This product is close to being discontinued and this traditional craft is on the verge of being lost.

Strong appeal

Because people are short-sighted and only care about immediate interests, they manufacture and use a large amount or even all of the first and second products. As a result, a large amount of precious resources are wasted, and people's lives The level cannot be improved. We hereby strongly appeal to people to boycott the use of the first and second products, and for manufacturers to take practical measures to cut off their production sources, destroy their sales markets, and switch to producing and selling high-quality third products. Only in this way can we humans progress. , Only in this way can we develop and quickly improve our living standards.

(Full score in the college entrance examination in 2004)

The author uses steel-making as a metaphor for the growth of life and steel-making technology as a metaphor for life attitude. He denies being too conceited and too trusting of others. He highly It affirms the approach of "believe in yourself + listen to other people's opinions". The article uses smelting as a metaphor to make the abstract truth concrete and easier for people to accept. This article cleverly borrows the format of industrial product manuals to write a philosophical essay.

1． Search: To expand your ideas and make broad connections. Actively mobilize your thinking and collect relevant materials. You should pay more attention at ordinary times and accumulate materials. You should also think more about the materials you master and understand the truth and meaning. So that it can be used quickly during the exam.

2. Screening: Scientifically screen the existing materials and select the most typical, enriched and novel materials to compose.

3． Arrangement: Arrange the last remaining materials appropriately in detail, priority and other logical order according to the needs of the content.

4. Outline: List the outline of the article, write how to start, the main content and the end. Note that the beginning should be novel and concise, the main content should be to the point and the end should be eye-catching or thought-provoking. The outline should be detailed and clear.

5. Several requirements for writing good examination essays:

Of course, it is just a matter of choosing a good review question and a good idea It doesn't mean you can write a good essay. Usually, you should practice more on the idea, structure and language expression of the article. Pursue correct and profound ideas, rigorous and reasonable structures, novel and appropriate forms, and accurate, vivid and vivid language. These efforts are all done in normal times. I hope that under the guidance of teachers, students can train in a targeted manner and achieve excellent results in the final high school entrance examination.

The high school entrance examination compositions in recent years are mainly topic compositions, with few restrictions on genres. Other proposition forms such as full proposition compositions, semi-proposition compositions, and material compositions also have few restrictions on genres (only a few areas have restrictions on poetry) Genres are restricted) and candidates are encouraged to be bold and innovative. However, most candidates tend to write narratives and argumentative essays, which are the same and have no new ideas. The following mistakes often occur in the choice of genre.

1. When I see a composition title related to "my" life experience, I blindly choose a narrative.

For example, Haidian District of Beijing City used "Learning to Be a Human Being" as the topic, Huanggang City of Hubei Province used "Sincere Apology" as the topic, Anhui Province "Cherish What You Have", Guangzhou Province "If You Give Me Another Chance", etc., many candidates wrote narrative essays. , describing his own experience.

2. When encountering material composition or topic composition of "prompt + topic", first choose to write an argumentative essay (after-reading review). For example, there are compositions based on materials from Hebei Province, "Commitment" as the topic in Shaanxi Province, and high school entrance examination compositions in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province with "Listening" as the topic. Many candidates expressed their own opinions and opinions on the materials and wrote argumentative essays.

3. Genre innovation involves mechanically choosing diaries, letters and other forms. For example, "My Sight" in Shanghai, "Mind Matters" as the topic in Tianjin, and "Cherish" as the topic in Sichuan Province, many candidates wrote in the form of single diaries and letters. Not only did the form have no novelty, but the content was also weak.

The high school entrance examination composition advocates innovation. Here is a special topic to explain the innovation of genre, which is what we usually call stylistic (form) innovation. We can roughly divide literary style into two categories: literary and practical literature. Literary literature includes: prose, poetry, novels, dramas, fables, fairy tales, science fiction works, etc. Practical writing includes: narrative writing, argumentative writing, explanatory writing, practical writing (letters, notices, contracts, advertisements, diaries, diagnostic reports, conversations, news reports, program records, etc.). Common writing styles for high school entrance examination compositions are narratives, argumentative essays, essays, etc. The innovation of genres we are talking about here mainly refers to writing styles other than common writing styles. Students can start from the following aspects when innovating in style and style:

1. Drama sketches. Writing drama sketches requires concentrated and sharp conflicts, relatively concentrated time and space for character activities, and few scene changes. The character creation does not seek too much, but seeks freshness. You can choose this style for topics related to family life and school society, such as "family love", "family education", "friendship" and other topics.

2. Newsletter reports. The third volume of the new junior middle school Chinese textbook published by the People's Education Press has two units of composition training, requiring students to learn to write newsletter reports. Make use of the authenticity of communication reports to make the article real, touching and more convincing. Any article that praises the outstanding qualities of characters and reports on their advanced deeds can use this form to avoid the monotony of narratives.

3. Fairy tales and fables. Fairy tales and fables use imagination and association to reflect things in real life into people's minds to form illusory images, embodying profound truths. This can avoid the simple narration of ordinary narratives and the boring reasoning of ordinary argumentative essays, giving people a refreshing feeling. This form can be used for essay topics related to personal thoughts, values, and life philosophy.

4. Dialogue interviews. "Speech is the voice of the heart", a person's personality characteristics can be expressed through the character's language, while the dialogue appears free and flexible, and the conversation content is all-encompassing. Common forms include interview Q&A, face-to-face communication, telephone conversation, etc. Many excellent short novels are also optimistic about this form. Controversial issues related to social hot spots and people's lives can be written in this form. For example, "network", "small and big" are the topics.

5. New story. This form is often based on a well-known character or event and is integrated into people's real life situations to achieve the purpose of reproducing life. Most of the articles are witty and ironic, allowing readers to be educated and inspired while laughing.

6. Alternative styles. Alternative styles are forms that we rarely use when writing, such as notices, contracts, advertisements, diagnostic reports, instructions, electronic announcements, etc. This type of style should be determined according to the specific content and cannot be chosen blindly. It is generally suitable for satirical articles. For example, in a high school entrance examination essay on the topic of "family education", a candidate chose the form of a contract. The form of this high school entrance examination essay is novel and lively, and it is heavy-handed in its lightness and humor. The perfect combination of content and form earned full marks.

Family Education Contract

Contractor:

Hu Dashuang (father) Wang Damei (mother) (Party A)

Hu Xiaoshuang (son ) (Party B)

In order to improve family education and improve the academic performance of Party B’s Hu Xiaoshuang, Party A enters into this contract after negotiation between the two parties.

1. If Party B fails to achieve 80 points in each test, Party A will punish Party B by sweeping the floor for a week and deducting 5 yuan from pocket money. If Party B fails, Party B will deduct another 5 yuan from living expenses. Party B will obey unconditionally.

2. If Party A has relatives and friends coming to play mahjong at home, Party B is not allowed to interfere directly. Party B can go out and find a quiet place to study by himself. The specific situation will be negotiated temporarily.

......

7. If Party B is admitted to a key high school, Party A will reward Party B with a mobile phone (Motorola 998++). If Party B fails to pass the exam, Party A has the right to deprive Party B of the right to go to school.

8. This contract is made in two copies, with each party holding one copy.

Contracting parties: Hu Dashuang, Wang Damei (signature) (seal)

[Typical Essay Question 1]

Students are in the period when their outlook on life and worldview are gradually forming, and they will inevitably be affected by various temptations in society, such as the temptation of money, the temptation of power, and the temptation of honor. The temptation... Faced with these temptations, we middle school students should have their own calm thinking and rational choices.

Please write an article of about 700 words on the topic of "Facing Temptation", either describing your experience, expressing your emotions, making a discussion, or telling a story. You can choose your own title and style.

〔Ideational Instructions〕

In fact, under certain circumstances, most people cannot withstand the temptation, but we cannot directly write articles to satirize or criticize, so we might as well Shift the perspective to the animal world and write fairy tales and fables to achieve the purpose of warning the world.

Many people in society are working hard for fame and fortune. Do your relatives have this situation? Do any of your friends or relatives have this situation? You might as well choose a specific occasion and focus on it in the form of a dramatic sketch. Describe their movements, words, deeds, and expressions in subtle ways.

"Facing temptation", different people have different opinions, so you might as well write it in the form of an electronic advertisement, focusing on the opinions of representative characters. As for who to choose, students need to put some thought into it.

This topic is most suitable for innovation in the form of a new story, relying on a certain historical figure or a character from mythology and legend, integrating modern people's life concepts, and bitterly satirizing ugly things. Students choose the character they are most interested in and give it a try!

〔Demonstration Example〕

Bajie was an official

Cangsong

It is said that Bajie came back from studying in the West and was named the Pure Altar messenger. Although he is a fifth-grade official, he has no real power. The daily job is to clean the Buddha’s offerings. Most of these offerings were plain horns, but within a few months, the pork loin had lost twice its weight. Many times I wanted to run out and make some tooth sacrifices. Firstly, I was afraid that the Buddha would find out. Secondly, the monthly salary of a few taels of silver was really not enough to eat a full meal. When Wukong saw it, he sneered: "He is really a fool, he is so old, he really wants to be a new breed of lean meat!" Listening to the damn Bima Wen's sneer, Bajie made up his mind to change positions.

Flattery is Bajie’s strength. In order to make further progress, Bajie bought a pirated copy of "The Book of Horses" from a street stall and read it for three days and three nights. Seeing Bajie's sincerity, Wukong pointed out: "It's not like today on Xitian Road. A few nice words can coax our silly master into obedience. Have you never heard of the saying that 'it costs more than 20,000 yuan to complete a deputy course and a full course'?" I have to do something, and I can’t do it without money.” Wukong then guaranteed a loan of 20,000 taels of silver from Marshal Zhao Gong. Six months later, Bajie was appointed governor of Wuji Prefecture.

Wuji Prefecture is a famous prefecture in the heavenly realm and a land of prosperity. As soon as Bajie took office, the local mountain gods, land gods, etc. came to take care of Bajie and cleanse him from the dust. He was treated to delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and sauna massages every night. The squires and wealthy people wanted to invite Bajie to "have a seat", but they couldn't get a place for ten and a half months. "I'm busy," Bajie sighed. "On the way to the West, I was looking forward to having a bowl of hot rice to eat. Unexpectedly, eating and drinking today has become a burden." In order to cope with various banquets, in addition to personnel, finance, and other matters in the state The whole thing was given to the first lieutenant governor, the Golden-haired Lion.

On this day, Bajie drank too much, vomited non-stop, and was admitted to the hospital. The governor's hospitalization was a serious matter, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see him. After an "illness", Bajie made a net profit of 400,000... On the Xitian Road, everyone called Bajie a "idiot", which was really misguided. This Bajie, no matter how busy he is with spending time and drinking all day long, he is very clear-headed. He even summed up the incisive "secret" of officialdom such as "If you want to get rich, mobilize cadres, only study, don't announce." In the past three years, my waist has grown three times and I have built five villas. Senior brother Wukong came as a guest, and a meal at the "Self-forgettable Zhai" cost ten thousand taels of silver, which shocked the monkey head.

What makes Bajie most proud is that Chang'e from the Moon Palace actually came to visit and wanted to renew their old relationship with Bajie. Bajie said: "Back then, I was handsome and respected as a marshal of the canopy, but Miss Chang'e didn't like me. Now I was born in the wrong child, and I look like a human and a pig. Why did you come to visit me? Could it be that I took the wrong medicine?" Chang'e said. Said: "Mr. Zhuzhou doesn't care about the faults of villains. It was a little girl who had no eyesight at the beginning. Besides, in those days, loyalty, filial piety and justice were valued. Nowadays, if you have money and power, you are a hero, so what does appearance mean?

In Bajie's fourth year as governor, the Heavenly Court continued to receive reports: Governor Zhu of Wuji Prefecture was embezzling and taking bribes, and Governor Shi was extorting excessive taxes. When Li Tianwang was ordered to investigate, the Jade Emperor was also shocked. He did not expect to have such a corrupt official in his name. ; Bajie took 500 million taels of silver in bribes, and Jin Mao Shi took 400 million taels in bribes. He swallowed them all in one gulp because they didn’t like anyone. In the past few years, the number of people in Wuji Prefecture has been greatly reduced, businesses have closed down, and beggars are everywhere... Wuji Prefecture has become a place. The poorest place. Bajie and Jinmao Lion were each sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

Li Tianwang said: "That idiot is not a good person at first glance. He is just a messenger. Having married a pig, can he withstand all kinds of temptations? Who agreed to send him to a foreign post and place him in such an important place in Wuji Prefecture? ”

The court was silent and no one answered.

[Analysis]

This article is an excellent and innovative work. It adopts the form of a new story to portray the image of Bajie, the victim of a fame-based slave. It is about Bajie, rather it is about corrupt officials in our real life. The unique style and humorous language are highly appreciated. This style of writing is much better than ordinary satirical argumentative essays. It embodies the theme to be expressed in humor.

[Typical Essay Question 2]

The topic is about walking into ________ or walking out of ________.

Requirements: ①Choose any one question, complete the question, and then write an essay.

② There is no limit to the style of writing, more than 600 words.

③Strive for innovation

[Ideational Instructions]

Write an imaginary essay titled "Entering War-torn Iraq" and write about what you learned through news reports The dangerous situation in Iraq and the tenacious resistance of the people. In the way of "dreaming", he wrote that he became a reporter and went to Iraq to conduct interviews. He reported on the tragic situation of bombing in Iraq and the anger and resistance of the people against the war, expressing his desire. Peace, opposition to war, and the theme of humanitarian care.

Write a narrative essay titled "Entering the Internet" to describe your true feelings about online chatting in the technological era. On Valentine's Day, I chatted online with a classmate in my class, which reflected the experience of adolescence. The inner world of middle school students and the interest that high technology in the Internet age brings to people's lives have made it possible to tell the truth and express true feelings.

With the title "Into Lu Xun", it uses the vision of middle school students and combines Mr. Lu Xun's works to objectively evaluate him, reproducing the broad mind and lofty spiritual world of the great writer, thinker, and revolutionary.

Write a philosophical essay titled "Getting Out of the Cycle of Self-Restraint". It starts with the idiom "drawing the ground as a prison" that touches me. The main part is: The psychologist conducted the same experiment on third-grade primary school students, middle school students, and kindergarten children. The rule was to draw five circles on the ground, and then let them Any five children stand in the circle. The educational psychologist walked away without saying a word and watched from a distance. I found that three of the children were at a loss and stood stunned in the circle, while the other two children ran out of the circle, chasing and playing without any scruples. The educational psychologist conducted the same experiment on middle school students. What was surprising was that the five middle school students stayed motionless in the circle for half an hour. They just looked at each other and regarded the circle as a circle. to prison. Only in the end did educational psychologists ask them out of the circle. These two experiments inspired the enthusiasm of educational psychologists. So he conducted the same experiment on five children in the kindergarten. A miracle happened. The five children did not stand in the circle for ten seconds and ran out of the circle almost at the same time. Finally, the theme is drawn: The unfettered free thoughts of childhood should be retained in order to always inspire the spark of innovation.

In fact, the interview form is also a good form of writing to get into someone and communicate with someone, which is conducive to portraying the character. Students may wish to use them, such as "Into Qin Shihuang", "Into Chen Shimei", "Into Einstein"... Of course, they can also be written as travel prose, such as "Into Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes", "Into the Mountains", etc. etc.; you can also write about your own understanding of a certain work, such as "Into the Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Into the "Les Misérables"", etc.

As for the topic of "getting out of______", we should think about it from two aspects. One is to get out of a real place, and the other is to get out of the invisible shackles, that is, people's understanding and concepts. , thinking, etc., and even some wrong things, such as "Getting out of the misunderstandings in male-female interactions", "Getting out of the shadow of inferiority", etc.

[Demonstration]

Bubuqian, Aisim Online Duel

——Into the Animal Kingdom War

Yi Ran < /p>

Aisim (Head of Lala State): Bugan (Head of Dada State), why did you ignore relevant international laws and openly send troops for aggression without authorization from the Anton Leo Congress? Our country?

Bubuqian: Does this require authorization? We suspect that your country has a large number of biological and chemical weapons. We have repeatedly told you to destroy them, but you have not listened. It is simply your own fault. Smart Mr. Esim, you should understand that the authorization from the Antonino Congress is just a formality, and we in Dada do not have to listen.

Aisim: That’s good! We, the people of Lala, will definitely use shotguns to drive away the jackals!

Bu Buqian: You know how powerful the "Red Blood Fox" operation was in the past few years! This time we will occupy Lala Country within an hour and leave you with no place to die. Perhaps, you voluntarily surrender, step down, or simply commit suicide, and we will withdraw our troops immediately to avoid harming innocent civilians.

Aisim: We, the people of Lala, have backbone! We will never surrender! You will see that there are no refugees in our refugee camps, they are all strong warriors! Ha ha!

Bubuqian: It’s impossible. Who is not afraid of death? No one can withstand our advanced weapons.

We advocate zero casualties in war, but this is not necessarily the case. It is inevitable that weapons will misfire. Watch your head!

Aisim: God is the one who helps me! Our expats are back and joining the front lines. You are afraid of sandstorms, we are fully capable of turning the desert into your grave!

It doesn’t matter: we will use all the power at our disposal. We will send an additional 200,000 vixen soldiers and seek understanding and help from other countries at all costs. We have military airports in nearby countries that can replenish fresh blood at any time. We have occupied large areas of your southern and northern territories, and victory belongs to us! Wealth belongs to us!

Aisim: Despicable! For the sake of wealth and jewels, he uses any means to threaten small countries, a pure international military policeman! But in the Battle of Dongdongcha, what did your disastrous defeat mean? It shows that Dada is nothing more than that! The people of Lala will definitely fight to the end! Will definitely win!

……

Bubuqian: Let’s wait and see! Ha ha!

Aisim: Let’s wait and see! Hahaha!

(Bugan was about to speak when three pictures suddenly flashed on the computer screen: One was Dada soldiers marching hard in the desert and hurriedly withdrawing their troops. The second was the people of Lala country cheering for victory. The third was Dada soldiers. Members of Congress impeached Bu Bugan and asked him to "get out of class." At this time, Bu Bugan had nothing to say and sat in a daze.)

[Commentary]

I read this article for the first time and felt horrified that the article could be like this. Write? Will there be other problems? When I read a cartoon (Bush and Saddam having a boxing match), I was inspired and felt that Yiran's article was an innovative work. The article reproduces the confrontation between the two leaders in the Animal Kingdom war in the form of an online dialogue, reflecting the correct position of the author. The article will explain who is right and wrong in this war and how the people on both sides view it. In particular, the three pictures conceived by the author have a certain degree of truth and fully reflect the innovative ability of the young author.

Answer readers’ questions about stylistic innovation

Gao Chaojun

Q: In recent years, I have seen many "alternative" and "innovative" college entrance examination essays published in newspapers and periodicals, such as "The Death of Red Rabbit" and "The Diagnostic Report of Patient Wu Chengxin" "Cover Letter of the One-Eyed Dragon", etc. Is using an "alternative" and "innovative" style to write college entrance examination essays a shortcut to getting high scores?

Answer: This is a major misunderstanding about college entrance examination composition. There are a lot of "alternative" and "innovative" styles in the college entrance examination essays every year. I even saw cross talk, allegro, three and a half sentences and other styles in the college entrance examination papers, but really good writing is rare, and newspapers and periodicals The articles published on the Internet are generally the best of the best in this genre. A large number of articles with low scores are impossible to publish and cannot be seen by ordinary candidates. Therefore, some candidates have the illusion that this The style of writing is especially easy to get high marks. It can be said that when grading the college entrance examination, there is no distinction between superior and inferior styles. When grading, all styles must be treated equally. The key is to see whether the article is well written.

In addition, students must understand that the perspective of news is different from the perspective of college entrance examination composition marking. There is a famous saying in the news: "It is not news when a dog bites a man, but it is news when a man bites a dog." If you use general and basic styles to write college entrance examination essays, such as narratives, argumentative essays, essays, etc., that is "dog bites man" , is normal, that is how things should be, of course it has no news value; and if you write it in a so-called "alternative" and "innovative" style, then it is "man bites dog", which is abnormal, then there is Newsworthy. Therefore, it is not surprising that news newspapers particularly favor “alternative” and “innovative” styles. But this does not mean that it is particularly easy to get high scores when writing college entrance examination essays using "alternative" and "innovative" styles.

Besides, in these "alternative" literary styles, there are very few articles that are truly original, because being original is not that easy after all. Most articles follow the footsteps of others and imitate them step by step. For example, in 2000, a college entrance examination essay called "Four Acts Play" in Jiangsu got high marks. As a result, in the college entrance examination essays in recent years, a large number of "X Act Plays" appeared every year. Balzac once said: The first person to compare women to flowers is a genius, the second person is a mediocre person, and the third person is a fool. It is even less likely that imitation works such as "X-Act Play" will score high marks.

In fact, you cannot choose whatever style you choose when writing college entrance examination essays. Style is a certain formal specification that people summarize from writing practices and article phenomena. Content and form are inseparable. A certain content must be expressed in a specific form, or the content must rely on a specific form to be expressed. Once a certain style of writing becomes a formal norm, it must also be expected to have something to do with it. appropriate content. Under the expected role of style as a formal norm, people will have certain reading expectations when reading.

For example, when people read practical texts, they hope to know what they are told; when they read expository texts, they hope to gain some knowledge; when they read narrative texts, they hope to get emotional influence; when they read argumentative texts, they hope to understand the author views and insights. If people don't get what they want from it, they have reason to think it's not a good article. Or, if a certain style of writing does not have a special effect on expressing the content, readers have reason to think that it is artificial or even nonsense. In recent years, in college entrance examination essays, such pretentious and even nonsensical articles are common. Some are so-called "product instructions" and "multiple choice questions". It is difficult to even call it an "article". If this kind of "commotion" continues, the "free choice of style" will lead astray.

So, when writing college entrance examination essays, I have always disapproved of playing too many tricks in style. Really excellent college entrance examination essays rely on content to win, and those "alternative" articles that score high scores are , and most of them are a perfect combination of content and form. The "innovative" in the "development level" of college entrance examination essays certainly includes innovation in form, but the form must serve the content and must contribute to the performance of the content. Therefore, I advise the majority of candidates that in the case of "free choice of style", they should honestly choose the most basic and basic style, and they must have stylistic awareness. Writing narratives should be like narratives, and writing argumentative essays should be like arguments. arts. "If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work." If you don't have full confidence, don't try so-called "innovative" or "alternative" styles easily, especially don't play games with text that has no real content.
