Read the basic essay (2) of Teacher Jiang Junjing's "Nine Questions on Composition"

The beginning and end are the focus of the article. Especially the beginning. Once readers are interested in the beginning of your article, they will be willing to read your article carefully, so it is very wise to invest more time in thinking about how to write a good beginning. In fact, teachers who teach composition have told us There are many ways to start, such as starting with a famous quote, echoing the beginning and ending, and starting with a lyric. However, when we write articles, we still can’t write the beginning well. The methods taught by the teacher do not seem to be practical. For example, starting with a famous quote, if you can’t memorize it, To quote a few famous quotes, this method is not useful at all.

What to do? Teacher Jiang has a great idea!

When students write essays, the most common words are one day, today, and yesterday. For example: one morning my father took me fishing; this morning my mother sent me to school; yesterday when I came home from school, I witnessed the bad behavior of a classmate. To be honest, many people feel uncomfortable reading this kind of beginning. When you write down words such as one day, today, and yesterday, you can remind yourself that "one day" can be used without it. Some children Don't worry, the thing I wrote did indeed happen today, yesterday, or one day. Wouldn't it be better not to write it down?

How do we get rid of one day?

You can just delete the "one day" in front of it. Another way is to put the word "someday" later. For example: One day, I fell ill with rubella and a severe high fever. My whole body was weak. I stayed at home and lay in bed all day. It can be changed to: I was sick with rubella, severe high fever, and general weakness. I spent the whole day at home, lying in bed. We can also change "one night" into "it's late at night, the street lights are dim, the breeze is gusting, the moon is like a ray of light, it covers the earth quietly, and it's like being drunk and yelling, and you can't hear any rhythm. "We can write "one day" as an environment.

A good title often points out the center and reveals the author’s thoughts and opinions. Therefore, a good way to write a good beginning of an article is to point out the key words in the title as soon as possible, so start like this Be concise and neat, and closely focus on the theme of the article. For example, if I am "bullish", I can write like this at the beginning: I am not an ox, but I have an indissoluble bond with oxen. Do you want to know why? The beginning should not be long or convoluted. Moving the title downward means that the key words in the title should appear at the beginning of the article and should appear as soon as possible.

This method is really very practical. For example, if you are writing about a trip to Huangshan Mountain, you think the most beautiful scenery in Huangshan Mountain is the clouds and mist in Huangshan Mountain. You have already thought of the most beautiful sentence to describe the rain and fog in Huangshan Mountain. You can use this Write the paragraph once at the beginning and again in the middle. For example, in the composition "Beautiful Nine-Colored Deer", the author writes at the beginning: A colorful deer bent and then jumped into the air with a strong kick. Its light body drew a graceful curve in the air. It turns into a beautiful rainbow. Do you know where you saw this? This was seen in the Dunhuang exhibition at Zhejiang Art Museum. This is the beginning. The author is writing that the most eye-catching mural should be the Nine-Colored Deer era. Here the author also mentions: This colorful road bends and then rises into the sky. Its light body draws a beautiful line. The curve turns into a beautiful rainbow in the sky. I believe that the Nine-Colored Deer and her story will be fixed in the hearts of every visitor. Now you understand, in this article, the author thinks that the most exciting picture is the deer flying in the sky, so he wrote this paragraph twice, once at the beginning, and again in the text. .

A thing always has a context, a cause, a process and a result. According to the order of development of things, of course we start from the cause, but sometimes we can write about the thing in the first paragraph of the article. climax.

Many students think that starting with a famous quote is a cool thing. Starting with a famous quote can make people think that you are an thoughtful and knowledgeable person, but many times we can’t think of the right one when writing an article. What’s even more frustrating is that we primary school students can’t memorize many famous quotes. In fact, adults can’t memorize a few either, so this method is not practical. We can think about it from another angle.

I can’t write famous quotes, so can I write some sentences that look like famous quotes? What kind of sentence is a bit like a famous quote?

For example, when we write about my teacher at the beginning, Teacher Wu leads us to experience the rigor of mathematics with care, Teacher Li leads us to experience the magic of science with patience, and Teacher Jiang leads us to experience the creativity of literature with humor and passion. Here the author uses a set of parallel sentences. Symmetrical sentences are used. Although these sentences are not famous quotes, their catchy effect is similar to famous quotes.

Also, at the beginning of "My Teacher", life is like a bowl of egg fried rice, without the rice there is still salted egg. In fact, well-written metaphors can also produce meaningful effects. So what should I do if I can’t get started with my composition?

First, don’t use “one day” if you can.

Second, move the title down. In the first natural paragraph, let the key words in the title appear as soon as possible.

Third, dig out a paragraph in the middle to make up for it. We can write the key part at the beginning and repeat this paragraph in the text to let readers know where the key part of your article is.

Fourth, write the climax directly.

Fifth, write your own famous quotes.

With the above magic weapons, can you still not get started when writing essays? Probably not anymore. Of course, the use of these magic weapons is not something you can simply understand. Instead, you have to try to write about the use of each magic weapon and give it a try. Only in this way can you use these magic weapons freely and make your compositions better and better.

Writing essays is not difficult, the key is how you use these composition magic weapons.

Let’s work hard together!
