1. What to do if you don’t know how to write?
Reading more can help you develop a sense of language. Language is the basis of an article, and beautiful language is crucial. You can learn the language of distinctive writers and then slowly form your own language. For example, the language of writers such as Cao Xueqin, Ba Jin, Yu Qiuyu, Jin Yong, and Gu Long is all very distinctive.
The content of the composition comes from life. If you want to write true feelings, you must think more about life. In other words, when reading, think more about your own personal experience. The reason for thinking is The more you have, the more your mind will broaden when writing and you won’t be unable to squeeze out more. How to think about it? Observe more, pay more attention, and think about problems from different angles. Read classic books.
Writing skills are also very important, such as structure and ideas, but I think these are secondary to content. Too fancy a structure is useless without good content. Techniques serve the content. It is best to make techniques invisible, and plainness is the most elegant. But that doesn’t mean that the composition can be messy. Just don’t go for superficial techniques. For tips, you can read more books with comments, such as those that comment on Dream of Red Mansions, Three Kingdoms, and Lu Xun. You can read them and study them. 2. Don’t know how to write essays
Methods and skills for writing essays: First, accumulate essays Accumulating rich composition materials is the first prerequisite for writing a good composition.
Many article masters are quick in writing. The important reason is that they have a rich library of materials in their brains. When writing articles, they can use both directions with ease. If students want to write good compositions, they must also make great efforts to accumulate composition materials.
Writer Qin Mu said: "A writer should have three warehouses: a direct warehouse for materials obtained from life; an indirect warehouse for materials obtained from books and materials, and the other is The daily collection of people's language warehouses. With these three, it is easier to write. ”
The first two warehouses mentioned in this paragraph are what students need to write well. 1. The best way to accumulate "materials obtained from life" is to keep writing an observation diary.
A common problem among students when writing diaries is to keep a running account. They find it boring, so they don’t bother to write. I suggest you write according to the method taught by Mr. Lao She: "You should carefully observe the personality and characteristics of Lao Wang or Lao Li next to you. Pay attention to it at any time and write it down at any time... Remember it every day to develop a habit. < /p>
If there is a gust of wind, you can write it down; if there is a gust of rain, you can also write it down, because you don’t know which day you will need to describe a gust of wind or a gust of rain in your work. If you don’t have this kind of accumulation, you won’t be able to write richly. . ” | 2. To accumulate “materials from books and materials”, on the one hand, rely on in-class reading to combine reading and writing in Chinese classes; on the other hand, rely on extra-curricular reading and insist on writing excerpts of reading. notes.
If you use a piece of paper for each excerpt, it is a reading card. As the saying goes: "A good memory is worse than a bad writing."
No matter how strong your memory is, as time goes by and there are too many things to remember, you will always forget some. If you excerpt the content that you think is very exciting while reading, not only can you avoid forgetting it, but it will also be easy to read.
The so-called "wonderful content" worth excerpting. It is related to the reader's interests, hobbies, level, needs and other factors, and there is no unified standard.
Generally speaking, wonderful warning sentences, vivid descriptions, novel and profound viewpoints, lively and interesting dialogues and even beautiful words can be classified and excerpted. For the convenience of future reference, it is also necessary to indicate the source of the material after excerpting the original text.
Many students have written excerpts or reading notes, but they insist on not writing much. It is a pity that a useful work should be abandoned halfway.
According to some statistics: Marx wrote "Das Kapital" and wrote "summaries" of more than 1,500 books; Lenin wrote "Philosophical Notes" and directly quoted dozens of philosophical works. Like a revolutionary mentor, insist on writing excerpted reading notes. It will make you a smart, fulfilled, and wealthy person, and it will enable you to be quick in thinking and vivid in writing in the future.
2. Training should be carried out step by step. Improving writing ability is not something that happens overnight. It requires a long-term plan. Therefore, the sequence of composition training must be arranged. What kind of sequence is the most reasonable? From the growth process of many writing talents, we have seen a variety of "sequences", and it is difficult to say which one is the universal truth.
The following introduces the training sequence of "seven first, seven last", which may be a more common one. Please refer to it according to your own situation. 1. Practice writing narrative and descriptive articles first, and then practice writing explanatory and argumentative articles.
2. First practice writing about your own personal experiences, and then practice writing about things reported by others. 3. First focus on training observation and accumulation, and then focus on training analysis and expression. 4. Practice writing simple things first, and then practice writing complex things.
5. First, do not be restricted by the "framework" of writing and write boldly; then, conduct standardized training according to the basic requirements and characteristics of different articles. 6. First "imitate" and write articles that follow the example; then "create" and write novel and unique articles.
7. First, strive to write long articles, emphasizing expansion and elaboration; then strive to write short articles, focusing on conciseness and conciseness. The above "seven first and seven last" are consistent with the law of people's understanding of things, from concrete to abstract, and the law of ability cultivation, from low to high, from clumsiness to skill.
As for when or to what extent should be used as the boundary between first and last, this is another issue that cannot be "one size fits all" and must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If some students alternately arrange the above seven first and seven later, such as imitating and creating and then imitating and creating again, it is not a bad idea.
3. Develop good writing habits. After students enter junior high school from elementary school, their composition training embarks on a new journey, and they must pay special attention to cultivating their own good writing habits. From the writing experience of the award-winning students in the essay competition, we have summarized the following seven good writing habits for students’ reference.
1. The habit of "writing every day and writing more or less". Many award-winning students said that their award-winning compositions were attributed to their insistence on keeping diaries. When they had more time, they wrote more, and when time was tight, they wrote less. Even if it was as few as dozens of words, they never stopped.
This is indeed a rule of thumb. As the saying goes, "Fists never leave your hands, music never leaves your mouth." If you write every day, you can practice writing more dexterously and accumulate a lot of composition materials.
2. The habit of "conceiving the whole article and writing an outline". When writing a composition, do not write the first paragraph without knowing what to write in the next paragraph. You must conceive the whole article and fix the "framework" of the composition in the form of an outline.
People who have been writing for a long time also have an outline before writing, but some hide the outline in their stomach, which is called "belly draft". 3. The habit of "reciting the first draft of an article silently".
In ancient poetry writing, there was a habit of "yining" and "humming", because there were many problems that could not be "seen" and read out loud. If you are in the examination room, you can only read silently to find out whether the sentences are smooth, whether the tone is coherent, whether the context is smooth, and whether the phonology is harmonious.
4. The habit of "revising carefully". The ancients said: "An article never gets tired of being revised a hundred times." This is a golden saying for writing good articles, and it is also the experience of all article masters.
Without this habit, it would be almost impossible to write good articles. 5. The habit of “not telling lies”.
Any good article must be a flow of the author’s true feelings.
