It is not easy to write a good composition, which requires long-term and multi-faceted efforts. At ordinary times, we should strengthen reading and have a good class. It is necessary to have a deep understanding of the text content and expression skills, read a large number of excellent works at all times and in all countries, and learn knowledge nutrition and writing skills from them; Read more books, pay attention to things around you, be a conscientious person in life, and pay attention to accumulating rich writing materials; Writing more means practicing writing more, so that "practice makes perfect".
For an exercise, we should pay special attention to the following steps:
(1) Examine the meaning of the question:
Examining a topic refers to carefully reading the topic before writing, and carefully reading every word and punctuation in the topic (some topics contain punctuation). Such as "goodbye! There is an exclamation point in the title, dear alma mater, which requires writing with true feelings and full of love for the alma mater. Correctly grasp the focus, center, material scope and main requirements of the article in the examination of the questions. Every composition topic will have certain restrictions on the content of the composition, and this restriction should be made clear when doing homework. There are generally several ranges.
1, time range. Some topics define the scope of writing in time, so we should review the time range when reviewing the topics. There are three such provisions:
First, the time limit for drawing materials is stipulated, such as "one thing in the summer vacation", and the word "summer vacation" limits one thing to be written in the summer vacation.
The second is to enlighten the time span of what is written, such as "before and after lunch". The content of the article should be written before and after lunch, which has a certain span in time.
Third, the specific time background of the content is limited, such as "interesting childhood", and the interesting things written must happen in childhood. Another example is an unforgettable moment, which should be about what happened in a short time.
2. Location range. There are often some words expressing space (orientation) in the composition topic, which often makes clear the location background of the content written. For example, the title of "farmers' market" must be written about farmers' market; Another example: "On the way to school" must write about things on the way to school; For example, the seaside, the beach and a corner of the coast all refer to the seaside, but the specific space they refer to is still different in size.
3. Object scope. For example, someone I know, a good person, someone I respect, my kindness and so on. It's all about other people. Even if the article is about "me" or others, it is in a foil position and a "supporting role". Another example is my deskmate, my classmate and my companion. Although they can all refer to classmates, the writing objects of the three questions range from small to large. My deskmate is basically unique (of course, it can also refer to my former deskmate), and my companions can refer to classmates in our school, children in neighboring schools, and children in neighboring schools. The scope is much larger.
4. Content scope. This refers to the restriction of events. For example, "an unforgettable event" must be written, which is really unforgettable. "A Personal Experience" can only be written about personal experience, and what you hear or see is not personal experience. "Teacher's Two or Three Things" can only write about the teacher's two or three things.
5. Quantity range. Some questions limit the number of people and things to write, so we should determine its scope and write according to the quantitative requirements stipulated in the questions. Such as an event in summer vacation, an unforgettable event, this event and a new person. Another example is "one thing about school life" and "two or three things about school life". The former can only write one thing, and the latter must have two or three things to the point.
Secondly, we should make clear the focus of the topic, that is, the key part. Many topics have keywords. This keyword is usually called "title eye". When we find it out, we find the key point of writing. For example, the title of "An Unforgettable Event" stipulates the genre (narrative mainly taking notes), quantity (one) and content (an unforgettable event) in turn. Of these three requirements, the most important one is undoubtedly "unforgettable", which is the title.
Some topics are hidden, so we need to pay more attention to what the key words are and understand the meaning clearly. For example, in My Stupid Dad, the word "stupid" is ironic, seemingly stupid, but actually it means not stupid. Another example is "Mom has a bad temper". This "bad" is also a kind of irony. Actually, it's just mom's good habit and style.
There is a certain pattern in finding "eye problems". If the topic is a sentence. Most "questions" are answers to "Who? What? " In some ways. Such as "love" in "I love my teacher" and "smile" in "Dad smiled". If the title is a phrase, the "title eye" is mostly in the front, that is, the modification part. Such as "Happy" in Happy Festival and Lovely Goldfish. "Love" in "My favorite activities" and so on. Of course, the topics are endless, and not both methods can be found. For example, the topic "My deskmate" has no clear central content. We need to determine the focus and center of the article according to the materials.
Third, determine the writing genre after examining the meaning of the question. Narrative includes four main genres, such as taking notes, describing people, describing scenery, describing things, such as an unforgettable event and recording an experience. , and to take note of the genre. "I respect people" and "Good XX" should adopt the genre of writing people; "Our Campus" should mainly adopt the genre of landscape writing, but it is also inseparable from people and things. "Lovely Goldfish" should adopt the genre of things. Diary, thoughts after reading, etc. Most of them are indicated in the title.
If you encounter a semi-propositional composition, you can review the topic according to the following steps: first, analyze and understand the provided semi-composition topic, and understand what articles are in the topic and what aspects need to be supplemented; After comparison, material selection; Finally, read the whole composition question together to see if it is smooth and coherent, and modify the inappropriate places. When we fill in half a composition topic, we should think and choose, so that people or things in life can reappear in our minds and choose the most impressive as the writing content. For example, "I love XX" already has the title of "love". As for who you love and what you love, it needs to be determined according to the familiar materials (people or things), which can be "love your father", "love your teacher", "love your alma mater", "love reading" and "love collecting stamps".
(2) Set the center
1, the center should be meaningful and healthy. The content of an article that praises (or praises), criticizes (or exposes) and expounds a truth should be educated or inspired by others after reading it. If this goal can be achieved, then this article is positive.
2. The center should be centralized. An article must be written around one center, not scattered, and there cannot be two (or more) centers.
3. The center should be novel. We should be good at examining materials from multiple levels, angles and aspects, so as to see the big from the small and dig out new ideological content from the outside to the inside that others have not discovered.
To determine the central idea, some of them can be directly seen from the topics, such as "Hard-working Grandma" and "Autumn I Love My Hometown". To determine the central idea must meet the requirements of the topic. Some composition topics directly specify the central idea, but specify the general scope of determining the central idea, such as a meaningful activity, which has educated me and other topics. Determining the central idea has more freedom than the previous situation, but it must also be limited by the specified scope. Some composition topics do not involve the central idea at all, but only stipulate the scope of choosing writing materials, such as "Ten Minutes between Classes" and "My Dad", but we should avoid the problem of unclear central idea.
(3) Selection of materials
When writing a composition, after studying the meaning of the topic and setting the center, we should choose suitable materials according to the needs of the central idea. All materials closely related to the center should be grasped, all materials irrelevant to the center should be discarded, and all materials that can profoundly express the center are the focus of our choice.
Choose composition materials, but also pay attention to the following points:
1, the material should be true. We should try our best to write out what we have seen, heard and felt, so as to write a good article with true feelings. Of course, the requirement of true content does not exclude reasonable imagination and association in the article.
2. The materials should be typical. Sometimes there are many materials to choose from, so we have to make a comparative analysis and choose the material that best reflects the central idea from these available materials. This material is usually a very typical material.
3. The materials should be specific. When writing a composition, people (grasping the characters' language, movements, demeanor and psychological activities), events (writing clearly the cause, process and result of events), events and scenes must be vividly written. Therefore, the content of the material we choose must be specific, rich and thorough, in order to achieve the purpose of writing concrete and vivid articles. 2. The topic of the composition is "New Fashion I See". Please write down three materials according to the requirements of "truthfulness, concreteness and typicality". You don't have to write a whole composition, just write down the materials.
(4) Make an outline
After determining the center and selecting the material, it is necessary to carefully organize and arrange, what to write first, what to write later, what to write in detail, what to write slightly, how to start, end and transition, all of which need careful conception and overall design. This is the layout. In order to prevent negligence and confusion in writing, we need to write a writing outline for the content of the idea, and then write it paragraph by paragraph according to the writing outline.
A writing outline generally includes the following parts: composition topic, central idea, main points, paragraph level, etc.
Generally speaking, writing an outline should pay attention to the following three points:
① Always focus on the center of the article. ② There should be reasonable ideas and clues, which can be time clues, development clues, object clues or character clues. (3) Grasp the main points and be considerate. What to write in detail, what to write briefly, how to start and end, etc. Should be considered.
(5) Write the first draft
After completing the above four steps, the general outline of an article has been formed in your mind, and writing it is the first draft of the article. When writing the first draft, we 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 and details.
2. Write whatever you want, and try to do it in one go. If you have difficulty in making sentences with words, you can leave them blank and continue writing.
3, the sentence should be simple and clear, easy to understand, and have true feelings. Pay attention to the use of punctuation.
4. Pay attention to the topic in the composition and point out the center appropriately.
(6) Modification of transcription
Revising a composition is an indispensable part of writing. The process of revising composition is the process of improving writing ability through training. Some people compare the revision to the beauty of the article, which is very vivid.
How to modify the composition? Mr. Lu Xun once said: "It is not a pity to read it at least twice after writing and try to delete unnecessary words, sentences and paragraphs." After I finish the first draft of the composition, I must read and think carefully, first the whole, then the part, first the content, then the text, and carefully scrutinize and find out the problems. The specific steps and methods are as follows:
See if the content of the article is relevant and the center is clear. Whether the content is closely related to the center and related to the center. Delete irrelevant content and sentences irrelevant to the center. If the materials related to the center are not clear and specific, they should be rewritten clearly and specifically, and the missing places should be made up.
Second, see if the article is coherent. Whether the arrangement of paragraph level is appropriate and reasonable. Compared with the outline, is it detailed, appropriate and focused? If there is something wrong, it should be adjusted or changed. If there are repeated paragraphs, they should be deleted.
Third, look at whether the sentences in the article are fluent and whether the words are accurate. Use words to make sentences, speak appropriately, and correct what is unreasonable and unnecessary.
Fourth, see if there are any typos and punctuation marks in the article. Try to eliminate typos and inappropriate punctuation marks, correct them, and after finalizing them, copy them neatly into the exercise book in block letters.
