The second trick: strengthen writing practice. Writing often begins with keeping a diary. If we regard the diary as a bosom friend, as an object to talk about, and tell our personal joys and sorrows in the diary to the fullest, over time, the diary will accumulate more and more thick, and before we know it, we will find that the length of the diary has become longer, the expression of words has become clever, and our observation and adaptability to life have also been enhanced. Keep an army for a thousand days-keep a diary, use troops for a while-write a composition, and it will come naturally!
The third measure: keep brewing-conceiving, looking for a breakthrough-inspiration, and then write it down. Collecting accumulated materials, such as a pile of dry wood, needs the spark of inspiration to ignite; Collecting accumulated substances, such as a lot of pollen, must be brewed by bees to become honey; The materials collected and accumulated are also like a bag of rice, which must be processed by a clever woman to become delicious rice. Therefore, the process of brewing-conceiving is the process of sorting out, selecting and integrating materials. When the conception is mature, it will naturally generate inspiration-the feelings that have been accumulated in the chest for a long time urgently need to be vented, and the unpleasant instantaneous impulse will not be unpleasant. People who care seize this fleeting moment and write it down.
The fourth measure: humbly ask for advice and constantly revise. Good article revision. After writing a good composition, you are not satisfied, but you can't see where there is a flaw. You must find someone else to guide you. After listening to praise, it should be regarded as encouragement to yourself; After listening to criticism, change it if you have it, and encourage it if you don't. If you do this often, you will continue to improve your writing. However, it is not a long-term solution to completely rely on others to revise your composition. Learning to revise your own composition is the key to writing a good composition.
The fifth measure: write a composition with confidence. Many students report that after reading articles in newspapers and books, they feel unattainable and lose confidence in their composition, thinking that they can't write well all their lives. In my opinion, this idea is caused by inferiority and utilitarian psychology. They don't know how hard the author and editor have worked to publish an article. If you spend so much effort to write your composition and polish it by editing, you will definitely reach the level of publication. In addition, writing a composition is not for publication, but to improve your writing ability, so a well-structured article is a good article. We don't have to use those published articles to measure the quality of our composition, and we don't have to affect our writing mood.
The sixth trick: organize and collect your own diaries, weekly notes and compositions. Diary, weekly diary and composition are all the results of your own efforts. If you can classify the diaries, weekly notes and compositions of primary schools, middle schools and universities into several "books", these "books" will be a personal struggle history and a great wealth of life. You will often look through your own exercises and constantly learn your own writing experience and lessons.

[student exercise A]
My hobby is reading. When I was seven years old. I became interested in reading. I like to need books, because there are many useful things in them. I can learn a lot from books. Books can also teach me how to be a good person. Books can even solve many problems for me. I will read more good books to improve myself.
(1) instead of reading, verbs should be used as predicative gerunds.
② ② The position of ② should also be placed behind the tank.
[opinion]: grade 9- 1 1.
The (1) point is incomplete, and the last point is missing.
(2) The sentences are basically correct and can convey information to readers correctly, but the article is not smooth and the transition between sentences is unnatural, giving readers the feeling that they are answering the above questions.
There are several mistakes.
[student exercise B]
My hobby is reading. Reading is very enjoyable. When I was young, my mother told me a story before. I go to bed every night. These stories are so interesting that I always think they are not enough. So I started reading by myself. Gradually, I became interested in reading. I can learn a lot of knowledge and interesting things all over the world. When I read a book, I can enjoy beautiful sentences. At the same time, I can improve my writing. I want to be a writer in the future, so I must study hard and read more books so that my dream can come true.
Cut to the chase and get to the point.
(2) True feelings and good reasons.
(3) The conjunctions circled in the article are properly used to make the article transition naturally.
(4) Clever use of sentence patterns to show determination.
[opinion]: grade 13- 14.
(1) clearly express the purpose of writing, and the main points are complete.
The language is flexible and diverse, and the truth is revealed between the lines, and the article is infectious.
3 conjunctions and clauses are used properly, and the language is fluent and error-free, which is a high-quality composition.
[High score breakthrough]
1 style: narrative.
② Key points: What → When → How → Why → Hope and planning for the future.
③ Tense: Natural changes in the general present tense, the general past tense and the general future tense.
The content is open, but it is also a "controlled" writing test, which cannot be played at will. You should be good at grasping the information and writing the main points. The real exercises of these two students are chosen because they have the same materials and because they are both excellent students in English. Student B flexibly uses the conjunctions so … that, so, bit by bit, when, so that, etc. And use new sentence patterns and phrases appropriately, such as used to become interested, realized, etc. , thus enriching the content and reading beautifully and smoothly. In fact, these expressions can be expressed by students A, but they lack technical treatment. Through these two essay reviews, students can understand the mystery.
Fourth, the way of cultivation.
1. Complete a composition independently according to the writing content assigned by the teacher.
2. Cooperate with peers, exchange their own writing, find out the good places and beautiful sentences in their respective compositions through communication, and jointly create a new article for everyone to enjoy.
3. Ask the teacher for comments and suggestions, especially how to polish them.
4. Correct your mistakes and write down your reflections.

Ideas and reference answers

② Tenses: simple past tense and simple present tense. Use positive and negative contrast writing techniques to increase appeal.
③ Writing purpose: To tell readers the importance of protecting the environment.
Jinyun Mountain is a famous scenic spot. Many tourists come here to enjoy its beauty every day. But a few years ago, some of them did not pay attention to protecting the environment. They throw rubbish on the ground, such as plastic bags, fruit peels and waste paper. Sometimes they cut down trees, pick flowers and kill birds. Some people even make a fire and cook in the Woods. How dangerous it is. Fortunately, great changes have taken place here. Tourists are used to putting rubbish into dustbins, and they are doing their best to protect birds and plants. They bring their own food instead of cooking to prevent forest fires in the mountains. All these changes make us very happy.
B.[ thinking]:
(1) Discussion on narrative fragments (explain the current situation and talk about feelings).
② Tense: General present tense.
The meaning of advertising words-water is very important and should be protected and reused (writing intention)
Water is very important to human beings. We can't live without water. The water we can drink is declining. But some people don't seem to care. They wasted a lot of water. They pour dirty water into rivers and lakes. Water pollution is getting more and more serious. So we must take measures to stop pollution. We not only protect water, but also try to reuse it. If we don't do this, the last drop of water will be a tear.
