When writing, some students are only used to summing up the narrative. What shall we do? If you learn to ask more "How" in your writing, you can write the plot in detail.

Example: A terrible night.

Tonight, my family went out, leaving me to look after the house alone. I'm very scared. I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until my mother came back.

We can ask:

1, why are you afraid?

2. What did you think at that time?

3. What was your reaction at that time?

Changed: One night, I was at home alone. It's going to rain, thunder and lightning, and I'm so scared. The thunder was deafening and rattled the windows. Suddenly, another flash of lightning flashed. Oh, my God, it's going to thunder again! I quickly covered my ears. Nevertheless, the thunder penetrated my palm and shook my eardrum, as if it had exploded just above my head. I'm even more scared. I quickly got into bed and covered my head with a quilt. I kept praying in my heart: mom and dad, come back soon!

Before writing a composition, students must seriously think about the part that they feel most deeply and the part that is most closely related to the theme, and ask more questions-how to say, how to think and how to do it. This is a key to writing a specific article. Use it to unlock the empty content.

Method 2: Learn to decompose a scene or fragment:

Decompose a scene or fragment into several parts, and the action of a character into several actions, just like slow motion in a movie. By describing each part and action, and then connecting them in a certain order, the description can become concrete and vivid.

For example, a classmate described the shooting action in a football match: "Xiao Gang rushed to the goal with the ball and kicked it into the net." Although this sentence uses a series of verbs and clearly describes the process, it still seems to be very general.

If we divide this goal-scoring process into catching-dribbling-passing-shooting-scoring. Then think about the specific scene of each action, and finally connect these series of actions in series, which will make the description vivid and concrete: "Xiao Gang skillfully catches the ball from his partner with his chest in the midfield, habitually knocks the ball off with his thigh, cleverly picks the ball over the head of the opposing defender, avoids the blocking of the opposing defender with flexible actions, and avoids the goalkeeper who has jumped in front of him, with one foot volley!"

Method 3: Write the story in detail.

If you encounter a narrative, first of all, you should pay attention to explaining what happened clearly and describing it completely, and at the same time, you should also pay attention to writing the key parts of it clearly.

Example: I was in a hurry when my cousin went up and down in the river. I stretched out my hand to pull him, but failed several times. I am more anxious and there is nothing I can do.

At this moment, an old man passing by the other side of the river shouted at me, "Find a branch for him to catch!" " "I did as the old man said, and finally pulled my cousin ashore.

The central meaning of this passage is very clear. My cousin fell into the water, and I was in a hurry. Under the reminder of an old man, I finally rescued my cousin from the shore. In the first section, my psychological activities and behaviors are not specified. What is the "urgency"? What is the difference between "more urgent" and "more urgent"? How did it change from "urgent" to "more urgent"? How many times? Why is it useless? Only by writing these details clearly can the article be concrete and vivid. In the second quarter, I pulled my cousin up with branches. Where do the branches come from? How did I pull my cousin ashore? All these should be written. If these aspects are carefully written, we can make things concrete.

After the change: when my cousin went up and down in the river, I was anxious like an ant on hot bricks, and I quickly reached out to pull, but I didn't catch anything with my other hand, so I rushed forward and almost fell into the river. I finally stabilized myself. Cousin choked in the river. I dare not delay. I crouched down, grabbed a small tree by the river with one hand, and reached out to my cousin with the other hand, but he couldn't reach it, and my cousin cried with fear. I cried, too. What should I do?

At this moment, an old man passing by the other side of the river shouted at me, "Find a branch for him to catch!" " "It's a wake-up call. I looked up, and there were many branches of different lengths on the river bank! I quickly stopped crying, picked a longer branch and ran to my cousin. Now he can reach it! I gritted my teeth, grabbed the young tree in one hand and pulled the branches in the other, and finally pulled my cousin ashore.

Method 4: Learn to describe things from different angles in a certain order.

In writing, things should be described in a certain order, or from top to bottom, or from left to right, or mainly described once ... and learn to describe things from different aspects such as vision, hearing, smell and touch, so that the articles written will be vivid, affectionate and rich in content. For example, a classmate wrote "Look at the Chrysanthemum Exhibition" and described the chrysanthemums as "red, yellow and purple" ... The chrysanthemums here are not only in different colors, but also in different postures-some are polite, some are shy, some are upside down, and some are in full bloom. Look! That one is as serene as a beautiful girl, and that one is like a young man smiling at the autumn wind ... a breeze blows, and the fragrance is overflowing and refreshing. "

This description vividly depicts the beauty of chrysanthemum from vision to smell, from color to form.

Method 5: Don't "comment" on characters, let the facts speak for themselves.

Some students draw conclusions about the characters with one or two comments. Their compositions do not need readers' own judgment and thinking. Therefore, readers can't feel the specific characters in their works, but only vague "features". In fact, the author doesn't grasp the features. We should let the facts speak for themselves and let the characters become vivid and touching in what they do. Try to compare:

Bethune loved learning since he was a child. He studies hard and is not afraid of hardship. He is willing to be lonely and not playful. He thinks positively and dares to verify. He is full of curiosity about animal bodies. When he was a child, he did many anatomical experiments. It is his spirit of inquiry that makes him an excellent surgeon in the future.

This passage is almost all "comments" without any specific examples. Let's read the following article again. There is only one "comment" in the full text. As the beginning of the general sentence, other sentences are used to describe what Bethune did.

Bethune loved learning since he was a child. At the age of six or seven, he automatically learned to dissect beetles, frogs and Wu.

One day, he quietly hid in a room upstairs and closed the door, not knowing what he was doing. After a while, his mother smelled a smell of blood and quickly pushed open the door and went in. I saw Bethune standing solemnly at the table. There is a big plate on the table with a leg of ox just bought from the grocery store. He was absorbed in dissecting the calf with a knife. "I want to know where blood vessels, muscles and bones are," he explained to his surprised mother. "I want to be a surgeon like my grandfather and father when I grow up."

Mother said distressfully, "Good boy, you are still young, wait until you grow up to learn!" " Bethune replied seriously, "We should start from an early age!" Then he dissected it carefully.

Method 6: To enrich the content, associative imagination is essential.

Some of the material is very good, but I feel that its content is not enough. What shall we do? We might as well change it and not write. But sometimes, in the examination room, I have already written half, only to find that the materials are not enough, so I have to adopt the "grafting method". Graft shoots from other trees onto your tree. You can't graft a rose bud onto a willow tree. And the rose buds grafted on wild rose trees grow better, because roses are more resistant to diseases, and roses are more beautiful than wild roses. This is a perfect combination.

The choice of composition materials can also be grafted. Fiction is not untrue, the key is rationality. Can't you get high marks for imaginative composition? Isn't The Journey to the West a masterpiece?

For example, you want to write about a distant cousin who is absent-minded in class, but you have never seen his cousin in class. Classes are similar all over the world. Have you ever been absent-minded yourself? It must be right to write your desertion on your cousin!

Let's read Tao Jinhong's prose Autumn Rain, analyze it and see how the author enriches the content of the article through association and imagination, making it more substantial.

autumn rain

Tao jinhong

Autumn rain is a key. It is cool and gentle, gently, gently, and opens the door of autumn when you are not paying attention.

Autumn rain, there is a box of colorful pigments. Look, it gives the ginkgo tree yellow. Yellow leaves are like handfuls of small fans, which one to fan and which one to fan to drive away the summer heat. It gives red to maple, and the red maple leaves float like stamps, bringing coolness in autumn. Gold is the color of the field. Look, the field is like a golden ocean. Orange and red represent fruit trees. Why should people pick oranges and persimmons? Chrysanthemum fairy gets more colors, such as purple, yellow, white ... beautiful chrysanthemums nod frequently in the autumn rain.

Autumn rain hides a good smell. Pears are fragrant, pineapples are sweet, and apples and oranges, with many sweet smells, are hidden in small raindrops! Children's feet are often attracted by the smell.

Autumn rain blew the horn to tell everyone that winter is coming. The little magpie brought branches to build a house, the little squirrel brought pinecones as food, and the little frog was digging a hole to get a comfortable sleep. Pine and cypress put on heavy shiny clothes, and willow leaves floated to the foot of the mother tree. They are all preparing for winter.

Autumn rain brings a harvest song to the earth and a happy song to the children.

This is a lyrical essay. From Autumn Rain, the author thinks of the colors of autumn, the scene of harvest and the scene of animals and plants about to spend the winter. In association, concrete and vivid descriptions are produced by imagination.

The first paragraph: The author associates "autumn rain" with "key". The key is the tool to open the door and the beginning of entering the room. Autumn rain is the beginning of autumn, and people often feel cool after the rain, so as to judge the past of summer and the arrival of autumn. This is the associative knowledge base of this figurative sentence. Otherwise, there is no * * * knowledge point, then you have made an inappropriate metaphor. "It's cool and gentle, gently, gently, and when you don't pay attention, it opens the door to autumn." Here, the concrete appearance of autumn rain is written as the "key" to open the autumn door by imagination, as if we had opened the door of a room.

If there is no association and imagination, this passage may be written as: "It's raining. We thought it was cool. Autumn is coming. "

The second paragraph: anthropomorphic writing of autumn rain. When autumn comes, plants change their colors. Once paint is applied, it can also change color. This is the knowledge point of Lenovo. The following description, imagination also contains many associations. Please analyze it yourself. You are very clever, and you will definitely analyze it. In short, reasonable association and imagination is a good way to enrich the content of the composition. You can try if you don't believe me.

Method 7: Word addition method

For example, when you meet a noun (a word representing a name), try to add a "what kind" modifier in front of it. For example, "a feather, a pair of wings and a tail make a swallow", right? Yes, but it's not specific and vivid. Please see how the article "Swallow" modifies nouns: a (shiny black) feather, a pair of (handsome and light) wings and a (scissors-like) tail make up a (lively and clever) swallow. (Dots are nouns)

For another example, when you meet a verb (a word indicating action), try to add "how to" in front of it. For example, "He's gone." To make this sentence concrete, you can write: "He left angrily with a book on his back." "He skipped away with a book in his hand." Wait a minute.

Method 8: Use metaphor, personification, exaggeration and parallelism to make sentences more concrete and vivid.

For example, it is too general to simply describe the moon as "the moon is curved", which can be compared to "the curved moon is like a boat" and "the persimmon is red" can be written as "the red persimmon is like a lantern." This will be more concrete and dynamic.

For another example, personification can be used. A, raindrops come to the world and the earth.

B, the river sings all the way and sets out for the Yangtze River. In the dead of night, the bench and the desk are talking. Peach trees smile at the arrival of the sun. E Peacock held her head high and walked proudly.

Another example is exaggeration. When we really can't express it in accurate words, we should praise it. For example, Li Bai likes to use this method best: "White hair is three thousands of feet, and sorrow is ten feet long." "Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." "Dangerous buildings are hundreds of feet high, and you can pick stars with your hands." Since he can use it, everyone feels good. Let's have a try.

Another example is parallelism. You can read this sentence. "The house can be bought, but the family can't buy it; Clocks can be bought, but time can't; Care can be bought, but love can't; Luxury can be bought, elegance can't be bought. Respect can be sold, but dignity cannot be sold; Loyalty can be sold, but conscience cannot be sold; Style can be sold, but personality cannot be sold. " This sentence expresses the central meaning more concretely and clearly through comparison and contrast.

Finally, use idioms, proverbs and famous sayings to turn them into idioms, advertisements, lyrics and proverbs. One student told a fable "The Weasel and the Chicken", using a well-known advertising word: "No gifts for this year's festival, and an old hen is needed", and another student used the idiom "The chicken must be dropped and never comes back." His article has a bright spot at once because of their adaptation of what they want to write.

Concrete and vivid description comes from careful observation of life, and we should learn to imagine reasonably in the right place. Zhu Ziqing said, observing life, we should realize that "every word and deed, every move, every grain of sand and stone can't be easily let go." However, students' observation and feelings about life are often superficial, or only superficial, and the impression formed in their minds will be vague, so the description of things in their compositions will be very general. Therefore, we should learn to observe life, grasp the essentials, find out the rules, and draw inferences from others. For example, observing familiar flowers and trees can be described in the order of root+stem+branch+leaf+flower+fruit; The description of characters can be described according to: appearance+modality+action+language; The cause, process and result of the incident should be clearly written. As long as we persist in observing life carefully, overcome the defect of "turning a blind eye" in observation, and carefully understand and practice writing, we will certainly be able to write vivid and concrete articles.

Finally, I remind everyone that in the process of writing, we should closely focus on the theme of our article and the main meaning of this passage, and write out the place that best reflects the theme and expresses the main meaning. If you leave the theme and main meaning of this passage, even if you write a lot of "how", people will not have a vivid and touching impression when reading it, but will appear tedious. That is, people often say "bookkeeping"
