Chapter 179 If the topic is well written, the composition will be well done

I often get letters from children who say sadly that they can't do "composition" well, and ask me how I can help them improve.Their letters are generally written very smoothly, and when they talk about their troubles in writing poor compositions, they describe them vividly. In my reply to their open letter, I only advised them to read more and write more, but according to my own experience in composition in middle school, whether the composition is well written has a lot to do with the questions given by the teacher. When I was studying in middle school, my composition teacher was a scholar from the Qing Dynasty.

He himself is used to writing stereotyped essays, and most of the essay topics he gave us were: "Thinking without learning is perilous", "Only the wisdom of the best and the foolishness of the bottom are the theory", or "The theory of saving the country through education" or "The theory of a rich country and a strong army", these are things that we teenage girls have never thought about in our minds! So what to do?Recalling our composition activities in middle school, it is still very interesting and ridiculous. Our composition time is arranged every Saturday morning.In a large classroom, students in four classes from grade one to grade four sat together. The teacher wrote the composition topics of the four classes on the blackboard, and sat on the podium to read books by himself. We discussed in a low voice, and he also in spite of.Just because we don't know where to start, we can mess around, we can copy books, and we can copy each other, usually starting with "Whoa, man was born...".I did small essays in my private school, so within three hours in the morning, not only could I write one essay myself, but I could also write one or two essays for my classmates in the upper or lower classes in exchange for candied haws or roasted chestnuts.The teacher seems to know these things, but as long as each student submits a composition every week, his task is completed.He didn't think about improving students' writing and thinking skills at all!

This teacher also taught us ancient prose, and we all loved listening to his lectures on "Li Ling's Answer to Su Wushu" and "The Front and Back Chibi Fu".We thought that if the teacher asked us to write such topics as "Books with Friends" or "Travel Notes", then each of us would have something to say, and we would say it vividly and interestingly. Unfortunately, the teacher didn't expect that. These. I once said to the children in "Newsletter 4" of "Three Letters to Young Readers": The things that come out are not clear and vivid; without the real touching situations in life, the things written cannot move people.The ancients said that "love is born with each other", that is to say, sincere feelings produce sincere words.Then, from real life, if you vividly reflect the things that make you like or make you sad, you will naturally write a better article. "

I only read three diaries in "Selected Reviews of Middle School Students' Diaries", and all of them are good! Some describe the three generations of a family happily guessing riddles at the Spring Festival Gala together, and experience the essence of our socialist social life.Some learned from participating in the school's autumn sports meeting: learning must also be hard work and because athletes have a great motherland in their hearts, "their smiles are like the rising sun on the Yangtze River," and so on.Some described the lively scene where several children rushed to invite Grandma Wang, a five-guarantee household, to their home for a New Year’s Eve dinner.These articles naturally reveal the author's love for the party and the socialist motherland, as well as his yearning and hard work for his future... Most of the diaries selected in this collection are "Diaries, Letters, Compositions" organized by "Xuezuowenbao". Winning works in the three essay competitions.I don't have to read all the selected diaries, because I know that in articles like "Diary", everyone must have their own true feelings and facts to say and remember; they must not be the same, and they must be written clearly and vividly And sincere.

I think the reason why middle school students are able to write these interesting diaries is because the "Study Composition News"'s solicitation for essays is correct! January 24, 1984
