As the old saying goes: Give people fish, and only have one meal. Give people fish, and you will benefit for life. Learning knowledge requires learning methods. The column of learning methods in Tsinghua Online School is composed of many years' teaching experience and excellent students' learning experience, which aims to help students develop good study habits and get twice the result with half the effort.

In recent years, the college entrance examination compositions are all about test topics. Previous years were not limited to style. In recent years, it has been changed to optional. However, while lowering the threshold of style, new problems have emerged. Since The Death of the Red Rabbit was published in the newspaper, many candidates imitated classical Chinese writing and pursued novelty, but failed to get high marks. Therefore, to do a good job in college entrance examination composition, we must do the following:

Avoid four misunderstandings

First, hodgepodge is not like four. Some candidates mistakenly think that they can do whatever they want, but there is something wrong with the style of writing and their understanding is vague, and the articles written are "four unlike".

Second, blind innovation. Some students saw that some relatively different compositions got high marks in previous years, and they thought that the pursuit of novelty was a shortcut to get high marks and made great efforts to "innovate". As we all know, many so-called innovative compositions get low marks every year, and students must have a clear understanding of this.

Third, poetry. When a candidate in Shaanxi Province got full marks in his 209-word poem, many students followed suit. In fact, this is very accidental, and judging from the word count requirement, 209 words can't meet the requirement of 800 words.

Fourth, the language is gorgeous and the mind is empty. Many middle school students like to imitate the cultural prose of celebrities, but they lack cultural details and their knowledge of literature and history is full of loopholes. They have neither culture nor prose, but they just pile up gorgeous words and alliterations to scare people, but they lose points.

The person in charge of the Chinese Department of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education once said that the style of downplaying is that marking and examination should be open and flexible, and we should not stick to a single requirement, but the teaching should be strict and conform to the norms. Stylistic self-selection is to give students the freedom to choose a style, but when candidates choose to write argumentative essays, they must write like argumentative essays; When writing a letter, the format must be correct, otherwise points will be deducted.

There are three steps to determine the style, and candidates should consider three questions after seeing the topic:

1. What style does this topic best suit? For example, 1998 "tenacity-my strong character" requires an example of my psychological endurance. Obviously, it is the easiest to write a narrative, but the most difficult to write an expository. In 2000, The Answer is Rich and Colorful, with an open topic, is suitable for several styles. Comparatively speaking, it is easier to write argumentative essays.

Second, choose your best style.

Third, we should consider whether we have accumulated relevant materials. To write a narrative, you must have emotional life material; To write an argumentative essay, we must have relevant theoretical and factual arguments; To write expository articles, you must have relevant knowledge reserves; To write prose, you must be able to write humorous language; When writing a novel, you should have a fascinating story. Middle school students are not stylistic experts, so the requirements for marking college entrance examination papers are not particularly high, but the basic requirements should be met. When writing an argumentative essay, we should pay special attention to the leading language in the research topic. In recent years, the topic of composition is a piece of material or story, and then the introduction. Candidates tend to attach importance to stories and materials and ignore guiding words and tips. In fact, the information of the guide words is very rich, and it is easy to write it down if you grasp it well. The key to writing a narrative is to choose materials suitable for writing about 800 words.
