How to write an article well (generally articles are written like this)
It is not easy to write a good composition. It requires long-term and multi-faceted efforts. You must strengthen your reading and go up. Good every class. You must have a deep understanding of the text content and expression skills, and read a lot of excellent works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, to absorb knowledge and learn writing skills; read more, pay attention to the things around you, be a thoughtful person in life, and pay attention to accumulating rich writing materials. Materials; writing more means practicing more writing, so that "practice makes perfect".
Taking an exercise as an example, special attention should be paid to the following steps:
(1) Review the meaning of the question:
Reviewing the question means reading it carefully before writing. Please read carefully every word and punctuation in the question (some questions contain punctuation). Such as "Goodbye!" There is an exclamation mark in the title "Dear Alma Mater", which requires you to have true feelings when writing and be full of love for your alma mater. Correctly grasp the focus, center, material scope and main body requirements of the article during the review process. Each essay topic will have certain restrictions on the content of the essay. We must understand this restriction when practicing. Generally, there are several ranges.
1. Time range. Some topics stipulate the writing scope in terms of time. When we review the topic, we should review the time range. There are generally three situations:
First, the time limit for drawing materials is stipulated, such as "The Summer Vacation" "One thing", the word "summer vacation" limits the one thing written to be something that happened during the summer vacation.
The second is to enlighten the time span of the content written, such as "before and after lunch". The content of the article must be written before lunch and after lunch, and there is a certain span in time.
The third is to limit the specific time background of the written content, such as "Interesting Things in Childhood", the interesting things written must have happened in childhood. Another example is "An Unforgettable Moment", which should be written about something that happened in a very short period of time.
2. Location range. Words indicating space (orientation) often appear in composition titles, and they often clearly define the location and background of the content being written. For example, the question "Farmer's Market" must write about what happened at the farmer's market; another example: "On the way to school" must write about what happened on the way to school; for example, the three questions "Seaside", "On the Beach", and "A Corner of the Coast" are all It refers to the seaside, but the specific space it refers to is still somewhat different in size.
3. Object scope. For example, "people I know well", "a person", "people I respect", "my good", etc. all write about other people's situations. Even if the article writes about "me" or others, it is in a foil. Status is a "supporting role". Another example is that although the three questions "My Deskmate", "My Classmate" and "My Partner" can all refer to classmates, the writing objects of the three questions range from small to large. The objects of "My Deskmate" are basically is the only one (of course, you can also write about your former deskmate), while "my partner" can refer to classmates in this school and class, children in neighboring schools, and children in neighbors, etc. The scope is much wider.
4. Content scope. This refers to restrictions on events. For example, "An Unforgettable Thing" must be written about something that is truly unforgettable. "Remembering a personal experience" can only write about personal experiences. What I heard or saw cannot be counted as personal experience. "Teacher's Two or Three Things" can only write two or three things about the teacher.
5. Quantity range. Some questions have quantitative limits on the people and things to be written about. We need to determine its quantitative range and write according to the quantitative requirements stipulated in the question. Such as "An incident in summer vacation", "An unforgettable incident", "This incident", "A person". Another example is "One Incident in School Life" and "Two or Three Incidents in School Life". The former can only write about one incident, while the latter must have two or three incidents to hit the topic.
Secondly, you should clarify the focus of the question, that is, the key part. Many questions have keywords. This keyword is usually called the "question eye". We find it, that is, find the key part. The focus of writing. For example, the title "An Unforgettable Thing" stipulates the genre (a narrative that mainly records events), the quantity (one item), and the content (an unforgettable thing). Among these three requirements, the most important one is undoubtedly "unforgettable". This is the question.
Some questions are more implicit, so we need to pay more attention to what the keywords are and understand the meaning clearly. For example, in "My "Silly" Dad", the word "silly" is an irony. On the surface it means stupid, but in fact it means not stupid. Another example is "Mom's "bad" temper". This "bad" is also an irony. In fact, it is talking about some of the mother's good habits and good style.
There are certain rules for finding "question eyes". If the title is a sentence. Most of the "question eyes" are part of the words that answer "Who? What?" Such as "love" in "I Love My Teacher", "laughing" in "Dad Smiled", etc. If the question is a phrase, the "question eye" is usually at the front, which is the modification part. Such as "Happy" in "Happy Festival" and "cute" in "Lovely Goldfish". "Love" in "Activities I Love" and more. Of course, the topics are endlessly varied, and not all can be found according to these two methods. For example, the question "My Deskmate" does not actually stipulate the central content. We need to determine the focus and center of the article based on the materials.
Third, determine the writing style after reviewing the meaning of the question.
Narratives include four main genres: describing events, describing people, describing scenes, and describing objects. For example, "An Unforgettable Thing", "Remembering an Personal Experience", etc. should use the genre of chronicling events; "The Person I Respect", "Good XX" should use the genre of describing people; "Our Campus" should mainly use the genre of describing scenes, but it is also inseparable from people and things. "Lovely Goldfish" should be in the form of objects. Diaries, reflections after reading, etc. are mostly stated in the title.
If we encounter a semi-propositional composition, we can follow the following steps to review the topic: First, analyze and understand the half-propositional composition topic provided to understand what regulations are included in the topic and what aspects need to be supplemented; Then compare and select materials; finally, read the entire essay questions together to see if they are smooth and coherent, and correct any inappropriate parts. When we fill in half of the essay questions, we have to think about the choices, let the people or things in life reappear in our minds, and choose the most impressive ones as the writing content. For example, "I love XX", the title is already there, it is "love". As for who you love and what you love, you need to determine it based on the material you are familiar with (people or things), it can be "love dad", "love teacher" , or it can be "love my alma mater", "love reading", "love collecting stamps", etc.
(2) Set a good center
1. The center must be meaningful and healthy. What an article praises (or praises), criticizes (or exposes), or explains a truth should enable others to be educated or inspired after reading it. If this goal can be achieved, then this article is of positive significance.
2. The center should be centralized. An article must be written around one center, it cannot be scattered, and it cannot have two (or more) centers.
3. The focus should be novel. We must be good at examining materials from multiple levels, angles, and aspects, so as to see the big from the small, from the outside to the inside, and deeply dig out new ideological content that others have never discovered.
Determine the central idea, some of which can be seen directly from the title, such as "The Diligent and Thrifty Grandma", "I Love the Autumn in My Hometown", etc. The central idea must meet the requirements of the title. Some essay topics directly stipulate the central idea, but stipulate the general scope of determining the central idea, such as "A Meaningful Activity", "This Thing Educated Me" and other topics. Determining the central idea is more complicated than the previous case. Greater freedom, but must also be limited by the prescribed scope. Some composition topics do not involve the central idea at all, but only stipulate the range of materials to be selected for writing, such as "Ten Minutes Between Classes" and "My Dad". However, the problem of unclear central ideas must be avoided.
(3) Select materials
When writing a composition, after reviewing the topic and deciding on the center, you must choose appropriate materials according to the needs of the central idea. All materials that are closely related to the center should be grasped, and all materials that have nothing to do with the center should be discarded. All materials that can profoundly express the center are the focus of our selection.
When selecting composition materials, you should also pay attention to a few points:
1. The materials must be authentic. In our compositions, we should try our best to write about things we have seen, heard, and experienced with our own eyes, so that we can write good articles with true feelings. Of course, requiring the content to be true does not exclude reasonable imagination and associations in the article.
2. The materials should be typical. Sometimes there are many materials that can be used, and we have to analyze them through comparison, and select the materials that best reflect the central idea from these available materials to write. Such materials are generally very typical materials.
3. The materials should be specific. When writing a composition, you must write about the person (grasp the character's language, movements, demeanor, and psychological activities), things (write clearly the cause, process, and results of the matter), objects, scenes, etc., in a concrete and vivid way. Therefore, the content of the materials we choose must be specific, rich, and thorough, so that we can achieve the purpose of writing concrete and vivid articles. 2. The title of the essay is "New Fashions I Saw". Please choose three materials and write them down according to the requirements of "true, specific and typical". (You don’t have to write a whole essay, just write down the material).
(4) Make a good outline
After determining the center and selecting the materials, you should also carefully organize the materials and reasonably arrange what to write first, what to write next, and what to write in detail. Which outlines, how to start, end and transition all need to be carefully conceived and designed as a whole. This is the layout and planning. In order to prevent omissions and confusion when writing, we need to write a writing outline for the content of the idea, and then write section by section according to the writing outline.
A writing outline generally includes the following parts: composition title, central idea, key points, paragraph level, etc.
When writing an outline, you should generally pay attention to the following three points:
① Always focus on the center of the article. ② There must be a reasonable idea or clue, which can be a time clue, a clue to the development of things, an object clue or a character clue, etc. ③ Grasp the key points and be thoughtful. Which should be written in detail, which should be shortened, how to start and end, etc. should all be considered.
(5) Writing the first draft
After completing the above four steps, the general outline of an article has been formed in your mind, and writing it out is the first draft of the article.
When writing the first draft, you should pay attention to the following four points:
1. Write step by step according to the writing outline, paying attention to the beginning, end, transition, details, etc.
2. Write whatever you think, and try to write it in one go. If you have difficulty in using words to form sentences, you can just take a blank first and continue writing.
3. The text should be simple, clear, popular, and have true feelings. Be careful to use punctuation marks well.
4. In the composition, pay attention to the title and highlight the center appropriately.
(6) Revising and transcribing
Revising composition is an indispensable and important part of writing. The process of revising a composition is a process of training to improve writing skills. Some people compare revision to the "beauty" of an article, which is very vivid.
How to modify your composition? Mr. Lu Xun once said: "After you finish writing, read it at least twice, and try your best to delete dispensable words, sentences, and paragraphs without any regrets." After we write the first draft of the composition, we must read it carefully. Think about it, first the whole, then the parts, first the content, then the text, carefully scrutinize it and find out the flaws. The specific steps and methods are as follows:
Check whether the content of the article is relevant and the center is clear. Whether the content is closely related to the center is related to the center. Delete the content and sentences that are not relevant to the topic and have nothing to do with the center. The materials related to the center that are unclear or unspecific must be rewritten clearly and specifically, and the missing parts must be filled in.
Second, check whether the article is well organized. Whether the arrangement at the paragraph level is appropriate and reasonable. Check the outline to see if it is detailed and focused. If there are any inappropriate places, they should be adjusted or changed. Duplicate paragraphs should be deleted.
Thirdly, check whether the sentences in the article are smooth and whether the wording is accurate. The words, sentences, and speech must be appropriate, and those that do not make sense or are unnecessary must be corrected.
Fourth, check whether there are any typos in the article and whether the punctuation marks are used appropriately. Try to eliminate typos and inappropriate punctuation as much as possible, revise it, and after finalizing it, copy it neatly into your workbook in block letters.
