Gorky once said: "When writing an article, the first sentence at the beginning is the most difficult. It is like the setting tone in music. It often takes a long time to find it." A good article is destined to be Get off to a good start. Only a unique, novel and unique beginning can be shocking and attractive, making people want to read and read. The so-called "phoenix head" is also true. However, there are many ways to start an article. I have summarized a few commonly used ones as follows for reference.

1. Get straight to the point? Get to the point after writing?

The so-called "get straight to the point" is a metaphor, which means to get to the point directly. ?

Advantages: It directly points out the topic and does not go off topic. It avoids the common problem of many students' compositions that are full of "correct nonsense" at the beginning. ?

Example: "Praise to Poplar" touches on the topic at the beginning: "The poplar tree is really extraordinary, I praise the poplar tree!" This kind of writing is simple and neat, and it is quick to enter the title without any branches or branches. Because of its vines, it is favored by many students.

2. If you want to promote, suppress before you want to promote: Can accumulating sound and momentum produce a twists and turns effect?

Example: "Sitting at the same table": Alas! Why did the teacher let me sit at the same table as her? She is the most fierce girl in our class! Because of this, everyone calls her "man woman". ?

3. Quoting classics? Showing the heritage

Quoting aphorisms, famous quotes, poems or sayings, proverbs, etc. at the beginning can enhance the momentum of the beginning, making people feel majestic, lofty, and achieve Attract readers and highlight the central effect.

The following are some commonly used ones:

2. The beginning of the proverb

As the saying goes, children are Starting with something we are familiar with will make you feel more cordial and arouse your interest. For example: There is a Chinese saying: "Three mallets can't make a fart." My father is a man who doesn't like to talk?

3. The beginning of famous quotes

This This opening method not only makes what you want to express concise and concise, but also can express the main idea of ??the article in a concentrated way, which plays a finishing touch and adds a lot of color to the article. For example, a student wrote "Confidence": The famous scientist Edison said: "Confidence is the first secret of success." Yes, you can achieve success if you have self-confidence and keep working hard. ?

4. Quote the beginning of the lyrics: ?

Example: The sun always comes after the wind and rain; winter is coming, is spring still far behind? ?Whenever I hear the singing of "?", I always think of the scene.

5. Sound opening

Dialogue, piano, wind, thunder, etc. can all be used as the opening, and you can use them at your fingertips to enhance the atmosphere. For example: "Please take my song back to your home, please leave your smile?" Whenever this familiar melody sounds in my ears, I feel like I have met an old friend I haven't seen for many years, and I feel particularly cordial.

4. Incisive rhetoric? Long lasting charm??

Using rhetorical techniques at the beginning can easily express the author's inner feelings and arouse the reader's interest in reading.

1. Metaphor?

2. Contrast

Using contrast at the beginning can enhance literary talent, Highlight the topic effectively. For example: In ancient and modern times, all those who have achieved success in their careers have achieved success with hard work; on the contrary, those who are lazy and mediocre cannot achieve success in their careers. It can be seen that hard work leads to success. , being lazy will ruin your career.

Start with a parallel sentence, with neat sentence structure and sonorous language to encourage people to enjoy reading. For example: If I were a bird, I would remember the nest where I was born; if I were a sapling, I could not forget the land that nourished me; if I were a river, the snowy plateau would become an imprint in my memory...< /p>

4. Ask a question?

Ask a question at the beginning, lay out the literary style, and get the first impression. For example: Why do fashion designers always try their best to design one set of fashions after another? Why does our motherland always include such a sentence in its clarion call for progress - promoting scientific and technological innovation? Why don’t the tall buildings rising from the ground follow the architectural style of the 1950s and 1960s? Everything is just because the times are changing, and people’s thoughts are also changing. Fashion must cater to the trend of the times, and development must keep pace with the times. Life gives us the power to innovate. ?

5. Cleverly set up suspense? Winding paths lead to seclusion?

Set an unsolved question at the beginning to attract readers' attention and stimulate readers' interest. At the same time, it increases the twists and turns of the article and reveals The beauty of the layout. Ruyi student wrote in "Feeling the Beauty of Life": "I am about to die - I am lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by darkness and silence. In the huge room, I can only hear my weak breathing."?

Suspense is a scene in the article that makes people curious but the details cannot be known immediately. It can be a scene or a plot. , it can be a specific thing throughout the whole text, a description of a character's expression at a certain moment, etc.?

The main function of suspense is to capture the reader's heart and cause the reader to have an understanding of the development, changes, and results of things. The situation and ending of characters or things create a sense of concern, making the plot development of the article more attractive and fascinating to readers?

How to set up suspense? There are generally two forms of setting up suspense:< /p>

One is to set up suspense at the beginning of the chapter. This form of setting suspense is widely used. It helps to create atmosphere and environment, develop conflicts, and lead to the following.

The other is to set up suspense at the beginning of the chapter. It is to set up suspense in the chapter. This setting helps to connect the previous and the following and promote the development of the plot. The specific methods of setting up suspense are as follows:?

① Use the description of the character's expression at a certain moment. Suspense. For example, the opening chapter of "The Ferry" reads: "The young mother sat on the side of the boat, frowning, with tears in her eyes. When the boat rocked, the tears rolled down. In her arms, the child fell asleep deeply. The child's whole body was wrapped in the quilt, and he couldn't see anything. Despite this, the mother still pressed him against her chest, for fear of being blown by the river wind and splashed by the water. "What's going on? The article naturally attracted the readers' attention.

② Use the psychological description of the characters' words and deeds at a certain moment as suspense. For example, at the beginning of "Three Company" it is written: "?We must go Go to that little tree and rest again! ?Instructor Wang Jiwen looked at a small tree four to five hundred meters ahead and secretly made another determination. ...In Wang Jiwen's opinion, it seems to be farther away than it actually is. "Why did Wang Jiwen "secretly make up his mind again"? Why does it seem that it is only four or five hundred meters away, but when walking, it "seems to be farther than the actual distance"? These psychological descriptions not only firmly grasp the readers, but also unfold naturally.

③Use the description of the environment as suspense. For example, "The Little Match Girl" explains: "It's extremely cold, it's snowing, and it's getting dark again." . It's the last day of the year - New Year's Eve. In this cold and dark night, a little girl with bare head and bare feet was walking on the street. "What does this little girl do? It's cold and snowing, why is she still bareheaded and barefoot? It's getting dark and it's New Year's Eve, why doesn't she go home quickly? What is her fate and ending? At the beginning of the article, Putting the characters in such a typical environment tightly grasps the reader's heartstrings and arouses the reader's eagerness to know the details of the matter.

④ Use the narrative scene or a plot as suspense. The article "Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat" describes such a scene: Zhou Yu used a poisonous trick and asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows in 10 days; Zhuge Liang said that it would only take 3 days, and also issued a military order. Did Zhuge Liang not know that the other party was setting him up? ? Can 100,000 arrows be made in just 3 days? How does Zhuge Liang make arrows?

⑤ One thing that runs throughout the text is suspense. The exercise "Wooden Boat" begins with: "Every time I see that exquisite little wooden boat hidden in the drawer, I think of Chen Ming. "Where did this little wooden boat come from? Why did "I" hide it in the drawer? Why did I think of Chen Ming when I saw it? The full text uses this small wooden boat as a clue and suspense, unfolding it layer by layer, inviting people to read carefully. < /p>

What should be emphasized when setting up suspense is: setting up suspense should not be abused, and should be reasonable and not far-fetched or blunt. The suspense set up should be concise, clean and neat, and should not be overly complicated or mysterious, so as to dazzle or even bore the reader. Thus losing the function of suspense?

(1) There is no coincidence in the book.

Example "My Uncle Jules": Philippe's family met Jules by chance on a boat, and a series of ridiculous stories happened, which revealed the relationship between people in capitalist society. naked money relationship. ?

(2) First suppress and then increase or first increase and then suppress. For example, "Lychee Honey", the article begins by saying that "I" do not like or even hate bees, and then writes that "I" visited the "Beekeeping Building", witnessed the hard work of bees, and drank the fragrant and sweet lychee honey. My heart was deeply touched and I couldn't help praising the bees. The author also thought of the farmers working hard in the fields from bees, and the millions of workers who work hard like bees. The author's love for bees even reaches a surprising level: he turned into a little bee in his dream. ?

(3) Put the ending, main plot, and main contradiction of the article at the beginning, and then write it in the natural order of events. This is what we usually call flashback. For example, in the article "The Trust of Comrades", if the tense and mysterious plot was not written at the beginning, it would be difficult to capture the readers' hearts at once, and it would also be difficult to express the terrifying society at that time. environment, and the comradely trust between revolutionaries who had never met each other. "A Precious Shirt" also has such characteristics. ?

(4) Appropriate exaggeration of the storyline or character behavior. In the example of "Chameleon", the article describes Ochumelov's changes in an exaggerated way, with ups and downs of events, which fully arouses the reader's interest in reading and stimulates readers' deep thinking: Ochumelov's transformation What is? What remains unchanged? What makes him change? Are there people like Ochumelov in our lives...?

(5) A clever misunderstanding. Example of "The Pear Blossom on the Post Road"?

Things to note when setting up suspense:?

(1) Setting up suspense must have a clear purpose, and it must be in the context of "questions" and "twists and turns" Show the character of a character or the significance of an event. ?

(2) The setting of suspense must be based on facts, must be moderate and natural, and must not be divorced from life, do not be mysterious, and must not have loopholes. ?

(3) The premise that creates suspense must be explained. Without the necessary premise, the story would not happen. Only when the premise is clearly stated can readers be convinced.

6. Scene description? Exaggerate the atmosphere

Descriptive method is to use some rhetoric or certain descriptive techniques to exaggerate the atmosphere and set off the atmosphere through the description of the scenery, and to provide the following characters or characters. Be sure to set the stage for the beginning of things.

Please look at the beginning of the article "Examination": Outside the classroom, the howling north wind carries dense raindrops and beats on the wall, making a "cha, clack" sound. Inside the classroom, an all-round competition exam It has reached a fever pitch. ?

Environmental description can exaggerate the atmosphere, heighten the mood of the characters, and promote the development of the storyline. If you give a concise description of the environment at the beginning of the article, it can not only provide a specific background for the article, but also create a special atmosphere for the article.

7. Use flashbacks skillfully to cross Chencang secretly

That is, at the beginning of the article, write the result of the event first, and then the cause and process of the event to create suspense and enhance the attractiveness of the article. ?Please look at how a student wrote "Feelings of a Foreign Land": In the independent courtyard, the moonlight is like water, flowing quietly around me. I feel the coolness of my heart sinking to the bottom of the water, which arouses my endless longing for you! Do you ever remember that it was also such a moonlit night when I put you on a train bound for a foreign land...?

The so-called flashback is to mention the ending of an event or the most prominent part of the event. The article is narrated first, and then the events are narrated in the order of development.

For example, Mr. Lu Xun’s famous novel "Blessing" describes the tragic life experience of Sister Xianglin. In the novel, I first wrote about the scene when "I" returned to my hometown at the end of the lunar calendar and met Mrs. Xianglin who had become a beggar; in the evening of the next day, I heard that she was dead. This is to write the "ending" of Mrs. Xianglin first. Then go back and describe the life experience of Mrs. Xianglin. This way of writing creates suspense in the readers; how did Mrs. Xianglin become a beggar? Doesn't she have any relatives? Why did she die during the New Year's Eve blessings? Readers are eager to read the entire text and get to the bottom of it. After reading the entire article, the content of the article will leave a deep impression on the reader.

Another example is the newsletter "People Who Climb the Peak", which reports on the advanced deeds of two mathematicians, Yang Le and Zhang Guangyuan. The newsletter first writes that the two of them discovered a major problem in mathematical research for the first time and climbed to a peak in mathematical science, and then goes back and writes how they overcame many obstacles and broke through many interferences to achieve this result. But the article did not end here, and then went on to write about Yang Le. Zhang Guangyuan has studied hard since elementary school and middle school. After entering university, he continued to make progress with the help of the older generation of mathematicians. At the same time, he also described that they are currently heading towards another country. A mathematical peak to climb.

In this example, instead of writing the "ending" first, we intercept a certain fragment in the development of the event as the beginning, and then go back and narrate the previous situations of the event; when the beginning fragment is narrated, The article does not end, but continues to describe various future developments until the matter is over. In this way, a dull beginning is avoided and a head start is achieved.

When using flashbacks, you should pay attention to two points:

1. Start from reality, do not narrate flashbacks for the sake of flashbacks, and set up suspense that can attract people's attention.

2. It is necessary to echo from beginning to end. After explaining the cause and explanation of the matter, you still have to go back to 8. Express feelings? Be the first to express the author's personal feelings, thoughts and feelings at the beginning of the article. Come out, express your feelings directly, exaggerate the atmosphere, and reach people with emotions. This kind of beginning starts with the author's own discussion or expression of love and hate. At the beginning of the composition, the author expresses his opinion about things, expresses his thoughts through the discussion, points out the center, and uses this to guide the whole article. ?

Example 1:?

A newspaper is only worth a few cents, but a person's ideological and moral character cannot be measured by money. This is what I learned from a class meeting. ?

This is the beginning of the composition "Remembering a Class Meeting". The young author wrote his own discussion about the class meeting at the beginning, and through the discussion he clarified the central idea of ??the composition - "A person's ideological and moral character cannot be measured by money." In the following text, the author describes in detail the entire process of the class meeting around this center. ?

This way of opening can also express your love and hate directly at the beginning of the composition, explain the motivation for writing or reveal the central idea. Please see the example:?

Example 2:?

I was born and raised in Beijing, and Beijing is my hometown. I love the beautiful Beijing opera in my hometown; I love the intoxicating scenery of my hometown; I love the unique flavor of bean juice, jiaohuan, and aiwowo in my hometown; and I love the prosperous and beautiful night scene of my hometown even more. ?

This is the beginning of the composition "I Love the Night Scenery of Beijing City". In this beginning, the author directly expresses his love for his hometown of Beijing and clearly reveals the central idea of ??the full text. In the main text, he describes the beauty of Beijing's night view in detail around this center.

Tips on how to start with a lyrical scene description:?

The article begins with the author expressing his own emotions, which can arouse readers' ideological and emotional excitement. .

When using this method, you should pay attention to the following:?

1. The lyrics should have true feelings and do not moan unnecessarily. ?

2. The lyrical tone should be consistent with the emotional tone of the full text and consistent with the scene of the article. ?

3. Personification, metaphor, and repeated rhetoric can all be used as lyrical means and can be used appropriately in the opening paragraph?

9. Inscriptions, postscripts, and hints of themes?

< p>The title is a paragraph of text after the title of the composition and before the main text. The general format of an inscription is to write a sentence under the title, followed by a dash and two words of inscription. Generally, the text used as an inscription is relatively beautiful or philosophical, but it is generally more concise and should not be very long. That is, "leave two blank spaces at the beginning to write the content of the inscription, and after finishing writing, start a new line and write to the right"—— "Title".

The title is usually placed before the beginning of the text, and the position is particularly "eye-catching". A good title can catch the reader's heart at once and leave a deep impression on people. The importance of the title The requirements are relatively simple: short sentences, beautiful language, a touch of emotion, and a shallow philosophy. So, what kind of inscription can be memorable and become the highlight of the article? There is only one answer: make the inscription come alive? Draw the soul of the composition! ?

Postscript means that after you finish writing an article and feel it is not perfect, you write a supplementary article to make the original article less perfect. ?

Example: Only when my father knelt down did I realize that what I lacked between my father and me was not love, but communication, heart-to-heart communication? - Inscription of "Communication"?

The earth gave birth. Life, life is precious, unique and fair to everyone. Because life is so precious, we should care for it even more? - Inscription of "Care for Life"?

Be ideal. When the colorful wings beat the air of reality, I entered a subtle, hazy, rainy season. Swimming through the dreamland of my youth, I stood in the rain. The days when I was 17 years old were windy and rainy, full of happiness and troubles. ? ——The title of "My Joy and Troubles"?

A good title can attract readers and guide readers to think?

(1) The title can either explain the reason for writing or explain the reason for writing. It is to create an environment. ?

For example, the inscription of "Enlightenment High School": "It is a clear spring deep in the soul, which can never be exhausted and spit out. It keeps flowing forever and ever to water my life journey. Every grass, every tree in it..." This inscription creates a strong atmosphere for the full text through beautiful description.?

(2) The inscription should display the main content and reveal the connotation of the work.?

The title should be a sentence that embodies and reveals the main theme and emotion of the article. It should allow readers to see through the highlights of the article and feel the pulse of emotion.

For example, "Erase the Boundaries in the Heart." "The boundaries on the surface can be erased with hands; the boundaries in the heart can only be smoothed out with the heart." "The inscription directly reveals the main purpose of the article.?

(3) The inscription should be rich in meaning and long-lasting sentiment.?

For example, the inscription of "Thanks to Father" "When I was young, my father It is a harbor; when you are young, your father is an idol; when you are middle-aged, your father is a period of time; when you are old, your father is a history book. "The inscription expresses the love and respect for the father in a long and emotional way, praising this ordinary but noble family affection in the world.

?

(4) The inscription should not only have a clear purpose, be concise and clear, but also have exquisite language and rich literary talent. ?

The inscriptions can be quoted (such as lyrics, aphorisms, wise words, etc., which are preferably rarely seen by marking teachers) or can be crafted by oneself. The importance of the title is to be concise. It must not be too long or obscure. For example, in "The Revelations of "Echo"": "Those who love others will always be loved by others; those who respect others will always be respected by others." Mencius' words are appropriately applied, which not only reveals the Lord, but also demonstrates talent. ?

How to write an inscription? ?

1. Elucidate the topic style?

That is, use the inscriptions to conduct appropriate analysis and elaboration of the topic, pointing out the meaning contained in the topic, the relationship between the topics, etc., such as "Rambles" "Smart" or "Cognitive"" article: ?

"It is the same prediction of "building a wall" or "defending theft", but it produces the result of "smart" or "suspicious". "Emotions" can actually Such an influence on "cognition", the little boat of the heart, searching in the river of culture..."?

This inscription points out the influence of emotions by briefly describing the topic materials provided. "Cognition" gives a good explanation of the topic written. At the same time, "The little boat of the heart, searching in the river of culture..." also shows the content of the article below. ?

2. Question explanation format?

That is, the title should be closely related to the topic and give a specific interpretation of the connotation of the article title, so that readers can have a clear and accurate grasp of its connotation. For example, the title of the article "Emotion. Reason. Cognition", a masterpiece of the college entrance examination:?

A rational balance is established between emotion and cognition. ?

The author cleverly uses spacers to connect "emotion", "cognition" and "reason", and places "reason" between "emotion" and "cognition". The inscription is based on the title, It explains the important role played by reason between "emotion" and "cognition", thus clarifying the relationship between "emotion" and "cognition". ?

3. Point-of-view style?

That is, point out the theme of the article so that readers can first understand the point of view expressed in the article. For example, the title of the article "Believe in Oneself and Believe in Others", a masterpiece of the college entrance examination with the topic of "Believe in Oneself and Believe in Others":?

Mediocre people believe in others and doubt themselves;?

< p>A fool believes in himself and excludes others;?

A wise man believes in himself and believes in others. ?

The three sentences in the title are eye-catching and neat in form. They point out the different attitudes of three types of people towards themselves and others. In the sharp contrast, they follow the title "Believe in yourself and also believe in others." ”, paving the way for my own opinions below. ?

4. Interpretation type?

That is, using the inscription to explain the writing purpose, background, or writing content of the article, so that readers can have a clearer understanding or macroscopic understanding of the article. grasp. For example, an inscription titled "Mother's Love is Priceless":?

I would like to dedicate this document to my deeply beloved mother and to all the loving mothers in the world. ?

The inscription clarifies the purpose of writing, and also sets the emotional tone for the full text. It sincerely expresses the love and gratitude to the mother, making the readers moved. ?

Another example is the inscription of a masterpiece "Northerners and Southerners" with the topic of "friendship": ?

A fire sings the friendship of two ordinary people To the extreme, their personalities are sublimated in this friendship. ?

This inscription summarizes the story of "friendship" between northerners and southerners written in the article, allowing readers to have a preliminary grasp of what the article is about. ?

5. Attractive style?

Use the title to create an atmosphere rich in suspense, attract readers, and arouse readers' interest. For example, the title of "The Choice Without Regrets":?

Why is the fate of a rural female teacher so bumpy? Can she withstand a series of blows? What would have been her fate if she had made a different choice? ?

This title uses three questions to set up three suspenses, arousing readers' interest and making them have a strong desire to read. ?

So, what issues should we pay attention to when writing an inscription? ?

(1) Pay attention to the literary talent of the inscription. You can quote some famous quotes, mottos, proverbs, etc. as inscriptions, and you can also use rhetoric such as metaphors and comparisons. The language form can use poetry, couplets, etc. ?

For example, the title of the essay "When the Flowers Bloom" with the topic of "encountering setbacks and magnifying pain": ?

Only through hellish training can one create heaven. The power; only fingers that have shed blood can play the swan song of the world. ——Tagore?

Quoting Tagore’s words is not only a quotation of famous quotes, but at the same time, Tagore’s words are metaphorical images and contain profound philosophy. It is really ingenious. ?

Another example is the inscription of "Colorful Happiness": ?

Life is like a flower, colorful; life is like a song, beautiful; life is like wine, fragrant and mellow; life is like poetry, artistic conception Profound; life is like a dream, colorful. ?

In this inscription, the author cleverly uses metaphorical rhetoric to form a neat parallel sentence pattern, interpreting the diversity of happiness and giving people a sense of overwhelming beauty. ?

(2) Pay attention to the simplicity of language. When writing an inscription, the number of words must not be too many, and the language must be tempered, precise, and sophisticated. Generally, it should not exceed two lines of the article.

Because the number of words in a composition is generally about 800 words, the inscription is too long, which not only seems lengthy, but also makes the article feel like a big head but a small body. ?

In short, writing a wonderful title that is first of all, makes the subject clear, and demonstrates talent will not only make readers feel refreshing and unique, but also produce the best effect of "condensing words to move people's hearts, and feeling before they become melody." ?

10. Extract the highlights: Start with the most exciting part of the event and then describe the process. This method is the most attractive. ?

Example: "Newsboy" "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!" A familiar voice came from the street again. "Today's news is great! It's eight yuan a copy." His voice seemed particularly sad today, and the thin figure in front of me lingered in my mind for a long time...?

As the saying goes : "The text has no fixed rules." Yes, the beginning of a composition is often determined by comprehensive factors such as the composition's content, genre, readership, conception skills, and the author's writing skills. There is no fixed format. There is only one criterion for measuring quality, and that is whether it is an integral part of the article, whether it can serve the content and center of the article, and whether it can attract readers to continue reading. We must be good at combining reality, being flexible and cleverly derived in order to write a good opening.
