During the Second World War, an Englishman named Jacob Shoe knew Hitler's military secrets like the back of his hand. He compiled a booklet, which published the organizational structure of the German army in detail, the names and resumes of more than 16 commanders, and even introduced the infantry detachment of the newly established armored division of the German army. Hitler was furious at the disclosure of military secrets and ordered the investigation. The German intelligence agency designed to kidnap Jacob to Berlin and wanted to dig out the spy who had infiltrated the German military agency from him. "All my materials are from German newspapers." Zheng's answer was a great surprise. It turns out that Jacob is a man of heart. He has long collected, cut and copied reports on military affairs published in German newspapers, accumulated a large number of newspaper clippings and extract cards, and sorted out a large number of German military secrets through comprehensive research.

this story fully shows that as long as you always pay attention to accumulating materials, you will get something, even something unexpected.

Many students have few writing materials in their hands and few examples in their minds. When they write articles, they are Qu Yuan, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Watt, Curie and Edison ... Either the apple fell from the tree or the lid of the pot was washed away by boiling water ... It's not that these examples are bad, but they are too "familiar" and therefore too "vulgar". Edison invented the electric light, which brought light to mankind, but I'm afraid Ai Weng himself could not have expected it. His deeds provided a lasting example for hundreds of millions of primary and secondary school students to write compositions again and again.

judging from the marking of college entrance examination in recent years, there are mainly problems of outdated and over-concentrated materials. Examples such as "Snow melts, what becomes ... spring", "The blind man touches the elephant" and "The pony crosses the river" appear very frequently. In 21, the composition of the college entrance examination was "Honesty", and the marking teachers found that there were three examples that appeared most frequently: the wolf came, Lenin broke the vase, and Washington cut down the cherry tree. Interestingly, these three examples, one is a fable told by a teacher in kindergarten, one is from a primary school textbook, and the other is an attachment to a junior high school text. Learning Chinese, writing articles, not expanding, not delaying, not associating, not seeking novelty, how to do it. If the examples are too familiar and vulgar, the article will be lifeless and no one likes to read it. Of course, there is the problem of improper examples.

so, how to accumulate materials?

first, write reading notes. (1) excerpt type. (2) appraisal. (3) Clipping.

second, read the newspaper. Read the newspaper for 2 minutes every day, understand the major events and hot issues at home and abroad according to the scope of the composition of the college entrance examination, and read more critical articles. In addition, the contents of newspaper clippings are reviewed with "hundred words", one article per week, which mainly focuses on the practice of grasping the essence and the key points of materials. At the same time, reading abstract magazines, such as Youth Digest and Readers, can also broaden your horizons. When reading a newspaper, you should get into the habit of clipping or abstracting the newspaper, and sort out the arguments related to argumentative writing and the writing methods of some articles for the needs of writing.

third, use textbooks. You can copy down famous sayings and aphorisms from middle school textbooks, pick out celebrity allusions and sort them out. For example, it can be sorted by Chinese and foreign ancient and modern, social science and natural science, and can also be classified by ideals and aspirations, moral sentiments and so on. For example, "For Premier Zhou's Entrustment" and "Burning at the stake" are related to ideals and aspirations; Preface to seeing Ma Sheng off in Dongyang, Persuading to Learn, etc. involve diligent study; Zou Ji satirizes coachable, King of Qi, and Biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru are related to ideological cultivation.

Our Chinese book is actually a treasure house of materials or arguments. The key is that you have to be able to dig it. There are hundreds of texts in the Chinese book. We have learned them well, read them well and understood them, and there are many treasures in the composition "treasury". Let's talk about the classical Chinese in middle school textbooks. We have learned nearly 1 ancient Chinese in middle school, and it is rich enough to use these as composition materials. Some articles, such as Su Shi's Shi Zhongshan, Wang Anshi's Travel to Baochan Mountain, and Han Yu's Teacher's Commentary, are both good articles and good examples. When writing articles, you can directly put Su Shi's "lonely boat on the precipice at night", Wang Anshi's trip to Baochan Mountain and abandon it. But more opportunities still depend on "digging". For example, the inscription on the tomb of five people wrote that "every man is more important than his country", and if it is combined with the "cannibalism" in the Cao Gui Debate, it can be regarded as a convincing example to demonstrate such viewpoints as "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" or "the people are the driving force to create history". Wang Ao's honesty and uprightness in The Story of Zhong Wang Su Ao is a good material to comment on the world. In the article "Training frugally to show health", there are a group of examples of being in a high position and being thrifty. In the Battle of Gao, the high-pitched teacher can be used to prove the patriotic spirit of ancient businessmen. The section of "Wang Sun is full of teachers" is enough to prove the truth that "pride goes before a fall". These contents can be used as examples of composition, because many topics of college entrance examination composition still comment on ideological style and methods, and previous articles can be used for reference and can give us new enlightenment.

For example, when a student wrote the topic "Be strict with yourself, be lenient with others", he chose examples from coachable and Stop Slander and the Battle of Gao, which was very convincing. Here are some paragraphs:

Be strict with yourself, stand upright, and you must have prestige; If you are tolerant of others and broad-minded, you will win people's hearts. Sages, sages and people with lofty ideals who have made achievements in the past dynasties must have this mind if they want to achieve great things. Otherwise, if you are petty, indulge yourself, and be mean to others, you will inevitably lose your prestige and betray others. There was a Zhou Liwang in history who was very tyrannical and the people complained bitterly, but he sent spies to monitor and kill the dissatisfied people, and he was proud of being able to seal the people's mouths. But the good times didn't last long. Soon, he was ruined and ended up in exile. On the contrary, Qin Mugong didn't shirk his responsibility for the serious consequences of Qin Jun's disastrous defeat in Lushan. When the three defeated soldiers fled back to the state of Qin, Qin Mugong personally wore white clothes to meet them in the suburbs, and deeply blamed himself. He repeatedly comforted the three generals, declared them innocent, and reassured them that their "great" contributions would not be erased because of this "small" mistake. From then on, Qin Guojun went up and down to Qi Xin, and after three years, he finally got revenge. This is the inevitable result of Qin Bo's "being strict with himself and being lenient with others".

In this article, the examples of Zhou Liwang and Qin Mugong have demonstrated from different aspects that "if you are strict with yourself and stand upright, you must have prestige; Treat people with tolerance, be broad-minded, and win people's hearts. "

It can be seen that textbooks contain rich composition materials. As long as we are good at collecting and sorting out, we can solve the situation that there is nothing to say and no material to write.

The materials in textbooks mainly include the following two aspects: one is factual materials, and the other is theoretical materials, that is, famous sayings and aphorisms in textbooks.

However, if you want your articles to get high marks in the college entrance examination, there are requirements for these materials. What are the requirements? Three points: 1. Novel 2. Vivid 3. Just right.

for example. Everyone knows Sima Guang, but they may not know Sima Guang's "police pillow". After Sima Guang was instructed to compile Zi Zhi Tong Jian, he made a pillow out of logs and named it "Police Pillow", in order to be alert to himself and not to sleep. When he sleeps on this log, as long as he turns it around a little, the "police pillow" will roll and wake Sima Guang up. Then, he immediately sat up and continued to write. This example is very novel. If it is written into the article, it will make the article vivid. Written in the argumentative topic composition, as long as the expression is just right, this material can demonstrate that only perseverance can lead to success; It can be demonstrated that strong will and perseverance and the spirit of self-discipline are the necessary qualities for successful people; Can demonstrate the dedication and meticulous dedication to their duties.
