The authenticity of events is inseparable from the authenticity of materials, and the profundity of events is inseparable from the typicality of materials. The selection of narrative materials should first pay attention to real life. It is the most basic requirement to extract real and typical materials from real life, so that the materials can give people real feelings and strong impacts. In fact, the choice of narrative materials does not have to be an earth-shattering event. Some seemingly ordinary little things can also show profound themes as long as they are dug deep. For example, writing "touching" articles, there are many things that move us in life, not only "overcoming the ice and snow" and "earthquake relief", but also a reminder, a comfort, a smile, a warm coat and a good meal ... These little things that move us are endless. It is undoubtedly the best choice to look at real life and choose real events in life. The choice of narrative materials must not be false in structure, vulgar fiction or obvious falsehood, and its emotion is naturally questionable, which can only make people "stay at a respectful distance".
Second, highlight the color of the times and avoid stereotypes.
Today is an era of rapid development and rapid change, with new things and advanced figures emerging one after another. Only by standing at the height of the times and using materials with distinctive characteristics of the times can narrative articles benefit social life and people all over the world. Usually we should cultivate the habit of paying more attention to news and current affairs. When writing, we should first base ourselves on the current selection of materials, so that the materials can closely follow the pulse of the times and reflect the spirit of the times. It is always the first choice for narrative writing to use materials synchronized with the times and highlight the color of the times. The old and outdated material, "I have known Yan for a long time", is monotonous and lacks the flavor of the times, so it is difficult for such an article to stand out.
Third, pay attention to emotional support and avoid dullness.
"Composition is an emotional resignation, and the viewer puts on the article and enters the mood." Emotion is the characteristic of human genius. When reading articles, we often marvel that articles can cause emotional buzz; When writing an article, only by melting your true feelings into the article and plucking the strings of readers' emotions with your true feelings can you have a * * * like voice of mind. Liu Xie said that writing is "writing for love", and the selection of narrative materials should also be to select people and things that are full of emotions and can touch people's hearts. The narrative material should choose the material that you are deeply moved by, and you can only move others by moving yourself first. For example, one year in Anhui, the topic of the college entrance examination was "Starting with feelings", and a candidate wrote an article about "a meal". He wrote that when he was studying in the county, he could only go home once a month. For a delicious meal, his father in a poor mountainous area waited from noon to evening without moving a bite. Although the matter is small, it is touching, which well embodies the theme of "proceeding from feelings". Generally speaking, high-scoring compositions are the crystallization of candidates' strong feelings. Without emotional encouragement, it is difficult to produce an "exciting" charm effect.
Fourth, highlight the paragraph of the plot and avoid shallowness.
Most students can master the basic requirements of narrative writing, but the articles written are unremarkable and unattractive, and one of the most important aspects is the selection of materials. Words are bound to be complicated and full of twists and turns, which requires us to pay attention to the complexity and prevarication of materials when selecting materials. An event as still as stagnant water cannot arouse readers' interest in reading; The ups and downs of events can attract readers' attention. For example, a perfect composition "They" written in Shanghai for the college entrance examination in a certain year, the author chose a common thing that two migrant workers could not hide money, but by looking for the owner, it caused misunderstanding, and the owner called the police to clarify the facts. The whole article was full of suspense, ups and downs, reflecting the prejudice of some city people against rural people today, showing the beautiful hearts of two migrant workers, which made people feel both tortuous and vivid. The most important and difficult thing in narrative writing is to write about the waves of events, and the ups and downs of the plot first depend on the events themselves. The selection of materials is simple and light, bland, without waves, just like boiled water, it must be indifferent and tasteless to read.
