Generally speaking, the materials we choose have the following requirements:
First, the length of the composition that can express the main idea of the article is only about 600 words. In this space, we can't write everything, we can only choose materials that can express the main idea of the article, and the materials we choose should be as few as possible. Those materials that have nothing to do with the theme, no matter how good, can't be selected; Even those materials that can express the main idea but simply repeat each other should be thrown away rudely.
Second, the so-called truth means that the material itself should conform to the logic of life itself and can essentially reflect the true face of life. What needs to be emphasized here is that real material is an important guarantee to make the article convincing and appealing. If the material is untrue or fabricated, it will not only fail to truly reflect the main idea of the article, but also make people feel false, unreliable and even disgusted. In this way, in the examination room, it is difficult for you to get high marks in your composition.
Of course, it should be reminded that "truth" here does not exclude fiction in literary works. Most of the contents in novels, plays and other literary forms are fictional, but we don't feel false, because the contents are also "real", which is an artistic truth and can reflect the real face of life in essence.
Thirdly, there are typical and general differences in representativeness among the many materials we have. In the specific conception and writing, we should choose those representative ones to write, so as to make one work as ten and better enhance the persuasiveness of the article.
Fourth, diversified materials need not be limited to their own personal experiences, but also can express the theme you want to express well from themselves to others, from today to now, from China to the outside, from here to there, as long as they are familiar with them. Therefore, we should broaden our horizons when selecting materials.
Novelty means that the materials should be fresh. We can't always use some old and outdated materials. For example, when it comes to parents, many people are full of white hair and write to send me to school to pick me up after school. When it comes to teachers, it means giving us lessons in spite of illness and correcting students' homework in the evening. These materials are not bad in themselves, but they are all well known and have no new ideas, which can't arouse readers' interest in reading.
Using novel and unique materials to express the theme, it is easy for people to see what they have never seen or sent, which can arouse readers' interest in reading and enhance the appeal of the article.
Practical art of war
Method 1: Integrate yourself.
That is to say, the selection of materials is based on my life experience and life experience. Because it is my own personal experience, it is often unique, personalized and fresh. In addition, there is a basic requirement for the composition of the senior high school entrance examination to write true feelings. If you choose your own experience and experience to write, it is often easy to write true feelings and colors.
Method 2: Pay attention to current events.
Real life itself is rich and colorful, and new things, new problems and new phenomena will emerge one after another all the time, which is the inexhaustible source of our writing.
A Beautiful Life Outside the Window is a masterpiece of the senior high school entrance examination in Shaanxi Province in 2005. With the narrative content of "a detained corrupt official boasting", it strongly satirizes the hot topic in today's society-corruption.
Method 3: Investment history
That is, selecting materials according to historical figures and events.
In 2005, the famous article Qu Yuan-I know your mood best in the senior high school entrance examination in Henan Province, chose the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan as the writing object, interpreted Qu Yuan's experience in the form of dialogue, and expressed sincere appreciation for Qu Yuan's quality.
Method 4: adapt the story
Usually, in class and after-class reading, we come into contact with many stories, which touch our hearts and leave us a deep impression. These stories can also be used as our material when writing. Besides the things used as examples in argumentative essays, we can also adapt these stories in narrative style.
The most beautiful mind is a masterpiece of the senior high school entrance examination in Henan province in 2005. It successfully adapted the story that Frank paid off all the depositors' deposits in the bank he founded after thirty-nine years of hard work.
[Error Warning]
Warning 1: Application and plagiarism
Some candidates will read many excellent compositions written by others before the exam. However, instead of learning other people's writing skills and experience, it's just rote learning. When they arrived at the examination room, they applied the compositions they had memorized, and some even copied the original text word for word.
This behavior is dishonest, immoral and absolutely unacceptable! Writing is the act of speaking with language. In the examination room, we should seize this point and use our accumulated materials to write what we want to say.
Warning 2: making things up.
In pursuit of touching effect, many candidates go astray and say "both parents are dead" or even "both parents are dead" when their parents are alive. Ming Ming sits in a spacious and bright classroom every day to study, but says he has rich experience. I used to wander outside with my bag on my back and work for a living. Obviously, I have never been to the countryside, but I pretend that the countryside is really poor and the children in the countryside are really bitter; ..... many phenomena, to name a few.
We should all be soberly aware that what is false is false after all. Without your own real emotional experience, you often can't even impress yourself. How can I impress others?
