19 a letter to the students in the middle school composition contest dear students:
Welcome to the 19th "Brandt Cup" composition contest for middle school students in Shanghai sponsored by the Teaching and Research Section of Shanghai Education Commission, and hosted by China Self-study, Shanghai Middle School Newspaper, Evening News and Further Education Weekly!
The topic form of this preliminary contest is theme composition. We chose five key words: desire, gratitude, tolerance, sincerity and responsibility. Please choose one of the key words as the writing scope, and then make a proposition yourself (if the topic is colorful, you can get extra points) and write a short essay of 1,000 words. I hope you can write your true feelings and unique feelings about life around the theme. If creative, regardless of length and style.
The rapid changes in the world and the arrival of the information age have subverted many outdated and ancient concepts. But some things are eternal: for example, our national spirit, the spirit of people with capital letters. Sometimes, this spirit is not necessarily reflected in the pursuit of vigorous events, but in our ordinary life. How to treat one's studies and future, how to treat difficulties and setbacks, and how to treat oneself and others all contain the exploration of the meaning of life and the positive spiritual pursuit. The music of life, because of the melody of spiritual pursuit, will be particularly wonderful; The realization of personal value is more valuable because it is included in national value. We should learn more about truth, goodness and beauty, and strive to be a noble person, an upright person, a strong person and a person worthy of this era.
The United Nations 2 1 Century Education Committee put forward four pillars of 2 1 Century Education, namely, learning to seek knowledge, learning to do things, learning to get along with others and learning to be a man. Among them, it is undoubtedly important to learn to be a man. Learning to be a man is not a temporary achievement, but a subject and test that you have to face all the time and everywhere in your life. Recently, the Science and Education Office of Shanghai Municipal Committee and the Municipal Education Commission promulgated the Guiding Outline of National Spirit Education for Students in Shanghai and the Guiding Outline of Life Education for Primary and Secondary Schools in Shanghai, which is of great and far-reaching strategic significance for ensuring the prosperity and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The annual composition contest provides an opportunity to fully display one's ideas and literary talents. But remember, the article must come from your inner thoughts and feelings, and write your true feelings; Don't mystify, don't whine and stop plagiarism.
For detailed guidance on the topics and contents of this preliminary essay contest, please pay attention to the contest information published in official website, Evening News, Progress Weekly and www.zhongwenzixiu.com Chinese Self-study published on February 5th and 6th.

[Brand Story] Brandon 170' s Continuous Care
Remember the story you heard when you were a child? Sima Guang smashed the jar-a witty and decisive story; Newton and Apple-a story that is good at observation and discovery; Washington and the cherry tree-an honest and upright story; And "Brandt and Chicken Essence"-an ordinary and successful story.
1835, Mr. Brandt worked as a royal chef in Britain. Because of King George IV's infirmity, the exquisite food prepared by the chefs lost their appetite after a few bites. His health is getting worse and worse, and the chefs are at a loss. At this time, Mr. Brandt tried many ways and boldly decided to change the traditional chicken soup practice to stew, and refined a stewed fresh chicken essence that was neither greasy nor easy to digest. After the emperor took it many times, his body gradually recovered and his spirit improved. Brandt's chicken essence was born. Later, Mr. Brandt retired from the palace and opened his own retail store, specializing in this once royal health care product-Brandt chicken essence, and spread his concern to the people.
170 years later, modern farms have replaced the original stocking methods, and the fully enclosed feeding environment has ensured the isolation from external infectious sources, and all chickens meet the sanitary requirements for exporting to Japan and Singapore; Modern production technology has replaced the traditional steaming and stewing methods. The fresh chicken essence extracted at high pressure and high temperature above 100℃ is rich in amino acids and bioactive "short-chain" proteins-peptides, which are easy to be absorbed by human body, help to improve human metabolism and effectively eliminate fatigue.
It is precisely because Brandt chicken essence is natural, high-quality, safe, nutritious and effective that it has formed an indissoluble bond with the students who have taken the exam in previous dynasties. Many students chose Brandt's chicken essence to accompany them in boating in the ocean of learning, so that the ever-shining lamp could illuminate their way to study. Brandon thanked the students for their trust and paid more attention to the motherland's education. In recent years, the Brandt Cup Shanghai Middle School Students' Composition Competition, which cooperated with the Teaching and Research Section of the Municipal Education Commission, Chinese Self-study, Shanghai Middle School Students' Daily and Evening News, has become a brand competition in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of students in this city, providing a broad platform for carrying forward the motherland's writing and displaying the ideas and literary talents of a new generation of middle school students.
From 65438 to 070, Brandt's has been advocating the brand spirit and brand value with "caring" as the core, and the theme of this competition is yearning, gratitude, tolerance, sincerity and responsibility.

[Getting Started Guide]
Avoid shortcomings, shortcomings, cleverness and innovation —— How to stand out from the competition composition
□ Cao Yang No.2 Middle School Chinese Super Teacher Wang Weijuan
The annual composition contest for middle school students in Shanghai has started again, which is a stage for middle school students to fully display their writing talents. Every year, many middle school students stand out on this stage and become a shining star in the vast literary starry sky, leaving a bright color in their youth. Therefore, when the curtain of this stage opens, it must be the time when young writers with writing dreams are eager to try. However, when we put pen to paper, shouldn't we first figure out what to avoid on the way to writing in order to have a chance to stand out?
Here, I might as well put up some signs for the students who are about to participate in the competition-
Speaking of avoiding the air, it's true. This is about the whole article. A good article is the expression of true feelings, the embodiment of insight, and is based on tangible things. Looking at the award-winning compositions for so many years, which one is not with his own thoughts and feelings? However, in recent years, there has been a tendency of "emptiness" in competition compositions: poetic or ethereal, handy or Du Li or Su Xin. But many times, what is presented to us is gorgeous, gorgeous or gorgeous, but the gorgeous appearance is wrapped in an empty roll, and the solid framework is actually a weakness. An empty shelf can't support the column, and nothing can be written. You should avoid the "vanity" spirit!
Second, avoid being clumsy and be smart. With the content, but also pay attention to the style of writing. No matter on the field or in the examination room, we can easily find that those excellent compositions are often not only articles with rich content, true feelings and active thoughts, but also their writing methods are often original. However, today, when the imperial examination has been abolished for more than a hundred years, once upon a time, a new eight-part essay appeared quietly-the block was clear, and the main part was led out by three sub-arguments, usually a beautifully written metaphor sentence; In the process of writing, many famous sentences are quoted, which usually gives people the feeling that an overwhelming cultural background is flowing out of the pen tip; The head and tail are also very particular, belonging to the kind that can attract people's attention when reading. Usually, it is a well-placed parallelism sentence or a question with a lingering sound. It's not that this style of writing is not good, but if it becomes a pattern, it will be self-defeating. Articles are written in various ways, such as diaries, letters, dialogues, sketches, cross talks, short plays, fables, fairy tales and even diagnosis books, applications, notices, indictments, judgments, meeting minutes, introductions, epitaphs, contracts, etc. Since the style is not limited, why not try to write skillfully?
Third, avoid the old and introduce the new. As a composition, this is the most difficult and important. This year's preliminary competition chose five key words: "desire, gratitude, tolerance, sincerity and responsibility". It seems that the "face" is a bit old, and it is difficult to write new ideas. In fact, it is not necessarily. "Please choose one of the topics and make another proposition by yourself" and "If you are creative, no matter how long or short, your style is not limited", it can be seen that there is a lot of room for our development and innovation, depending on whether we can be flexible. Flexibility can be embodied in every link of writing. This idea is flexible. For many candidates, it is of course good to build an article about "those who are close to ink are black", but it turns out that those insightful and innovative articles are often based on "those who are close to ink are not necessarily black". Materials and angles can also be flexible. Writing "desire" doesn't have to be written from the front, and writing "grace" doesn't have to start with "people". There is room for flexibility from the layout of the article to the inscription of the topic. The report on the treatment of patient Wu is a revision of the writing format, and the death of red rabbit is a revision of the content. Open the third eye, 10 minus 1 equal to ... is a variant of the topic "The answer is rich and colorful" ... It can be said that being good at flexibility can bring forth the new, and being good at flexibility means being good at reorganization, clever collocation, being good at winning by surprise, being good at being independent and being good at being new to me.
Some people say that the composition in the examination room should be more connotative and less fancy; More wisdom, less cleverness; More rich and true, less kitsch and melodramatic. Stand out from the crowd with strength and lead the way with talent and intelligence-so the composition of the stadium is not like this!
The Road to Success was launched, and the first prize winner shared the writing secrets with you.
□ Text/Qian Yu
The annual Shanghai middle school student competition is about to begin again. Every year, many middle school students compete on this stage for literary talent, creativity, gas field and writing skills ... Finally, they leave their truest and most vivid feelings in their youth yearbook. Before many small "stars" in the literary world are about to raise their hands, let's ask around and listen to the successful speeches of the last winners. To this end, "Further Education Weekly" specially interviewed the winners of the first prize in the last composition contest. Let's share their writing experiences and secrets.
Read more books and miscellaneous books.
Zhang Yuanyuan (the second day of Shangnan Middle School) Zhang Yuanyuan's winning composition "Life is Beautiful because of Harmony" follows the writing techniques of ancient Chinese, and the whole article exudes a quaint charm. At an early age, I have such a profound literary foundation that the judges and teachers are impressed.
When Zhang Yuanyuan was 3 years old, her parents consciously exposed her to classical literature, especially some ancient poems that read fluently. Yuan Yuan likes Wang Guowei's Ci Hua on Earth and Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow best, and he likes the aesthetic mood in poetry. Read more ancient Chinese and remember more famous sayings and aphorisms, so that you can't help expressing them when writing.
In the past, when Zhang Yuanyuan was writing, it was easy to make the mistake of piling up ancient poems. However, after the teacher's correction and her own understanding, she found that writing did not deliberately pursue and imitate the style of classical Chinese, but injected life-oriented factors into the article. In her view, the overall structure of the article should be a living thing, and the lyrical part can learn from some ancient poems, thus enhancing the overall style of the article. Zhang Yuanyuan doesn't approve of buying many books on ancient poetry. She suggested that you should read some books with reviews before buying them.
Accumulate more and observe more.
Zhou (a sophomore in Shibei Middle School) knows that Zhou has a "quirk". She always keeps a palm-sized notebook in her pocket and takes notes anytime and anywhere. Open this "pocket book", which is full of miracles. Funny quotations from classmates, wonderful newspaper comments, beautiful prose fragments, campus anecdotes ... pocket books are really a wonderful "laundry list" Zhou has maintained this "quirk" since the first year of high school, and now there are 4 or 5 pocket books!
I remember once a class boy performed a Spanish dance, and some boys who usually like to play handsome bared their teeth and made everyone laugh. Zhou carefully observed every classmate's demeanor, "like a bear" and "like a mummy" ... Zhou recorded these strange movements, ironic expressions and selfless performances one by one. Not only that, Zhou He was also moved by the harmonious atmosphere in the dance.
When traveling abroad, she did not forget to bring this "pocket book" to record the beautiful scenery of the scenic spots and the beautiful legends she heard. Pocket Book recorded a scene in which she swam Huangguoshu Waterfall and drilled into water curtain cave. These records became convenient materials for her writing. Zhou said that she often had a brainwave in the composition contest, digging out the details described in the pocket book and regrouping them to add color to the article.
In addition, Zhou also benefited from the good tradition of writing for 900 seconds every day at school. Specialize in 15 minutes every day, insist on writing your own feelings, extract the articles you like, read the good books and make reading notes, and write and remember them carefully every day, which will definitely help your writing.
Think more and dare to innovate.
Tang Yining (Senior 3 student of Fudan High School) I am an imaginative girl. I remember that the topic of an essay contest was a blind man sitting on a train and hearing the "pattering" sound made by a girl walking in slippers. Through the above description, I wrote an article from the perspective of the blind. Many contestants have written the dialogue between blind people and girls, but in my article, only the blind people, purely blind people's inner monologues, girls did not participate at all. This original article "A Man's Preaching" won the first prize in the 7th China Cup National New Concept Composition Competition in June+10 this year.
Liu Mengyuan (third grade of Lansheng Fudan Middle School) "I think my prize lies in a new angle of writing!" Liu Mengyuan analyzed this. The theme of the last composition competition was harmony. I found that many students write from the perspective of talking about harmony and discussing harmony, but Liu Mengyuan chose a different angle and cut in from the perspective of disharmony. From the "cell evolution" of nature, she wrote a loyal minister and traitor in history, and then transitioned to the disharmony of differences between Pudong and Puxi. The novelty of the angle left a deep impression on the judges Among a group of players with equal strength, Liu Mengyuan thinks that the composition contest is about the depth and breadth of thinking.
Read famous books efficiently
Di Yi, a senior three student in Yan 'an Middle School, said that she loves reading foreign classics and some articles on aesthetics and philosophy. She thinks that this can improve a person's quality in all aspects, such as Fu Lei's Twenty Lectures on World Art. The knowledge in the book can not only enrich the highlights of your writing, but also make people feel refreshed.
Besides, Di Yi also taught us a "lazy" method. Due to time constraints, it is impossible for us to read all the famous books. She suggested that students should read more books introducing famous literary works, such as "Introduction to Famous Works" and "Outline of Literary History". Through reading, we can not only understand the authors of famous books and the introduction of characters in the books, but also include the evaluation of characters and famous books in these books. In this way, in writing, students can not only use the classic sentences in the novel, but also learn to think and write at a deeper level with the evaluative words in the book. Isn't this a shortcut to reading famous books? Reading famous books efficiently and buying them selectively are the secrets of Di Yi's writing.
[Expert Message] Pay attention to society and life.
□ Yu Yi (famous Chinese super teacher)
As a traditional project, middle school students' composition competition has always been a big stage for those middle school students who have writing ability to fully display their intelligence and express their ideas in their native language.
First of all, I hope all the contestants have the feelings of loving and cherishing the language and writing of the motherland. China's writing is vivid and beautiful, and the nuances of expressing feelings can best reflect the author's real kung fu. I hope that middle school students can write true, healthy and beautiful compositions in standardized language and express their thoughts and feelings. At the same time, when writing, we should also have a sense of pride and pride in Chinese characters.
Secondly, writing should be close to life and write your true feelings. "Truth" is the most valuable quality and the texture of the article. Don't "package".
Third, we should have our own unique feelings. Writing is not the pursuit of fashion, but the ability to test your understanding of life, distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, and show your understanding and sensitivity to life. When writing, middle school students should not pursue the new term Dalian string, but should use appropriate and vivid language to express their thoughts smoothly.
According to the theme composition of this essay competition, the five themes of yearning, gratitude, tolerance, sincerity and responsibility are of great value and significance to middle school students, and they are all issues that middle school students must seriously consider. I hope everyone can choose a starting point that they are most familiar with, feel the deepest and have experienced personally to make self-proposition, and care more about society and life.
I wish middle school students good results and new progress in this essay competition!
Open-ended questions contain more writing talent.
□ Bugenhai (Chinese Teaching and Research Fellow, Teaching and Research Section, Municipal Education Commission)
The guiding ideology of this essay competition is to guide "learn to seek knowledge, learn to do things, learn to get along with others, and learn to be a man". The organizing Committee of the contest only set the theme for the preliminary contest, but did not specify the specific topic. This is because today's middle school students, bombarded by massive information, have become the recipients of information. Facing the flood of information, how to choose, how to read and how to express it has become a big problem for middle school students. The preliminary contest of this essay contest has designed an open topic, which is to examine the comprehensive ability of the contestants from three aspects: essay selection, reading and expression, so as to reduce or even eliminate the so-called model essays from the "essay collection" and bring them to the competition.
"Lack of knowledge can make up; But not reading and not expressing will delay a person's life. " Teacher Bu Genhai's remarks can reflect the good intentions of the organizing committee of this essay contest in choosing such a preliminary topic.
Give people the degree of "golden needle"
□/Wengu Wen Hao (a student of Chinese Department of Fudan University, who won the first prize in the composition contest three times and graduated from Jianping Middle School) There is an old saying in China that "the embroidery of Yuanyang lies in you, not in the degree of gold", which means that you can take a casual look at the embroidered Yuanyang, but there is no way to get my precious embroidery needle or know my embroidery method. But today, I just don't know myself. Based on my personal experience, I want to share this "golden needle" with everyone, especially the students who will participate in the 19th Shanghai Composition Competition for Middle School Students.
First of all, it needs to be declared that writing a good composition is not for participating in any competition, let alone just thinking about winning prizes. Instead, you can really take the opportunity of the competition to exercise your brushwork, lead the market and broaden your horizons.
In my humble opinion, a good article or a popular composition should have three elements: thought, literary talent and structure. Students can look through any article that won the first prize in the composition competition for middle school students. None of them are thoughtless, but some articles may be more "strong" and more obvious. Some are lighter and more obscure, but each article is based on hot ideas. It can be said that an article without thinking, even if it is literary, is just a combination of a bunch of words and a bunch of good sentences, which is quite untenable and beyond the will. What attracts the teacher's attention most is that you have a flash of light, a spark of thinking and a bright light of wisdom. These are vivid, real, touching and unforgettable. This is ten thousand times more important than those fancy empty words! A thoughtful article with a high degree of conception. Li Tengfang, an ancient man, said in Miscellanies of Mountain Dwelling: "When you have an idea, what should you do?" Tang Jingchuan: "There must be an indelible view, and then we can see the ancient and modern, independent things." Therefore, for an article, the most important thing is the author's thinking and conception.
However, we should pay special attention to the fact that we should not call the "odd theory" "lofty theory" in a novel way. Many students blindly seek novelty, so it is not only thoughtless, but also detrimental to literary ethics, which is very undesirable. Ideas are always old, only ideological trends are new. We require the article to have a "new" meaning. Not only hope that students can see what people don't see, but also say what people haven't said, and have a brand-new perspective to consider the problem. What I value more is to look deeper and think deeper than others, to be able to "look at the mountains without looking at the mountains, look at the water without looking at the water", and the transformation is also the sublimation of thought. Then don't be original, just write your own opinions. Can feel the topic, analyze it thoroughly, see it deeply and remember it firmly. Similarly, whether a person has thoughts depends on whether the author has the ability of association. People who can write articles are the most associative. From here to there, from the outside to the inside, it is fuller and more flesh-and-blood than a deep topic.
Good ideas should be expressed in good language. It is important for middle school students to have good articles. Of course, there are many good languages. A literary language is only one kind of good language, but as far as students' composition is concerned, it is also required to write a good article with literary talent. Childishness of language is very important. Before learning "the sky is very Hellenistic", read "A ray of light at the foot of my bed" well. Great writers who want to write about the vast snowy fields, such as Lao She, can of course describe it as "a big blank sheet of paper", which gives people the power of "pointing directly at people's hearts", but if they are middle school students, I'm afraid they have to use words like "crystal clear" and "snow-covered". Unless they meet "discerning people", it is impossible to get high marks. It is true that some people think that language should be plain and clever.
But plain and dry, his ass is bright. On the surface, some languages are simple and clear. However, you should note that this kind of dullness is related to it, and this simplicity is also skillfully realized. From this point of view, it seems that only the literary talent is brilliant and the truth is just, and then the pursuit of nature is the realm.
We often say that writing articles is like using troops, and we should pay attention to the arrangement of troops when using troops. Writing articles also stresses discipline, especially structure. A good article has a good layout, but some layouts are not obvious. This further shows that the layout of this article is natural, as if there is no layout. Imagine a marking teacher reading hundreds of compositions. If the article is clear and structured, it will naturally be much cheaper. This structure also contains technical problems such as line breaks and paragraphs. The composition structure that is easy to please is well written at the beginning and end, attractive or the finishing touch. At the beginning, as Mr. Zhang Zhongxing said, "the old tune is not good, the depth is not good, the mediocrity is not good, and the efforts are not good." Finally, Zhang Zhongxing also said that "it is not good to be anticlimactic, to gild the lily is not good, and to speak is not good." From these, we can see that a good layout is to increase the attractiveness of the article, make the views more obvious and the levels more distinct.
The way of writing is really too difficult. The above three points are only important aspects in composition, but the writing of articles has its own way, so students can write lively young people's articles if they admire Wen Hai.
