Let's think about it first. When we say that a person's writing level is high, what do we generally mean by outstanding aspects? Personally, I think the key points are: writing, content and thought. Then, to know whether reading more books can help improve the writing level, let's analyze its influence on the above elements one by one.
1. Writing.
This should be the basic knowledge of writing for most people, right? When I was a child, I was always rated as a model essay, which was often better than writing. In the initial stage, how to practice literary talent? I'm sure you still remember that teachers often asked us to pay attention to extracting good words and sentences and accumulate our own literature library. I still remember that the book I read the most at that time was The Reader. After reading each issue, I can harvest many beautiful words and thought-provoking golden sentences. When I write a composition, I can always get a lot of points by quoting some famous sayings, and it always works.
2. content.
Of course, we can't always stay in the stage of writing small compositions when we are young, but we must always advance to the stage of long articles. And a long article should be attractive and meaningful, not just by piling up gorgeous rhetoric, otherwise it will inevitably produce aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, whether the content is substantial, whether the idea is clever and whether the structure is reasonable has become another standard that affects the writing level. But have you found the most convenient way to make the article lively? Yes, it is to insert stories and quote cases. One of the most practical ways to avoid using materials is to read more books! Just kidding, Xifeng at least read Story Club and tried to improve her literary quality. Do you have any reason not to study?
3. thoughts.
This last point almost determines the stratification between the general public and literary masters, and also determines the wide spread and profound influence of a work. Take the novel Three-body, which is called the milestone of China's science fiction literature, as an example. This work has won many international awards, such as the French Hugo Award, and the author Liu Ye "blessed" it. However, his job is actually an engineer, and writing is just a hobby. His writing style is not so superb. What really makes his works stand out is his unconstrained imagination and deep thinking about human beings, the universe and nature. As for us ordinary people, with limited life experience, we may not have the conditions to take Wan Li Road. To broaden our horizons and broaden our thinking, the cheapest but effective way is to read more books, feel different life from reading thousands of books, and collide with different ideas, so as to enhance the connotation of our writing.
Therefore, no matter from which level or stage, reading more books can make us learn the nutrients of writing. Of course, reading a good book will have a more significant effect. However, this is not to encourage people to read only a certain type of books. Although targeted reading can improve the writing level of a certain aspect, extensive reading of different types of books can open our creative thinking, and different authors and styles can make us learn from others.
It can be said that reading more books is not necessarily the only way to improve the writing level, but it must be a way that has many benefits and no harm. * * * Whatever!
