When I was in middle school, I edited a magazine for myself. Although it was a "manuscript, not for sale", it had a cover, a title page, a table of contents, illustrations, and on the back cover there was "Copyright, reprints must be prosecuted" "Solemnly declare"; on the title page, in a very bold font, it is stated that the editor-in-chief is me.This shows that at the stage of middle school, some boys and girls begin to germinate the passion for self-creation.When I was a primary school student, I felt very proud of singing with the teacher and being praised by the teacher; when I was a middle school student, although I still sang with the teacher, I was happy when the teacher praised me, but I was not satisfied. Sometimes I tried to do it myself Hum a song that is all your own.Looking back at those years, I felt brave for myself when I was in middle school and moved towards my favorite direction.

Proud and gratified to show your imagination and creativity.I can become a writer today, which has a lot to do with trying to write poems and novels, edit magazines and draw illustrations, and "sing a song of my own" when I was in middle school. In a self-edited magazine in junior high school that has been preserved to this day, I read the "Newsletter" in the "Newsletter" column of the magazine at that time, about the "Newsletter" about my poor composition scores in Chinese class, which reflected that, On the one hand, I am full of pride and feel that I can engage in literary creation. On the other hand, my basic Chinese skills are actually not good enough.I also use singing as an analogy. I want to hum a song that I created myself. This idea is not bad. However, if I can’t follow the teacher to learn staff and music theory, sing all the five tones, sing the mode accurately, and follow the teacher’s teaching. Those who sing well, and deeply understand the connotation of those songs, and obtain aesthetic pleasure from the melody and sentiment, then, what I hum can only be wild tunes, and I cannot record them with staves or numbered notation.In middle school, after all, it is the stage of laying the foundation, and the main energy should be spent on practicing basic skills with the teacher.At that time, I attached great importance to the guidance given to me by the Chinese teacher in terms of basic composition skills, and worked hard in the practice of classroom composition. I think this is probably a more critical factor for me to gain a foothold in society through writing today.

Dedicate this little experience to today's middle school students: follow the teacher to sing the songs in class well, and then boldly try to sing a song created by yourself!
