Gorky once said: "The first sentence is the most difficult to write an article, just like the tune in music, it often takes a long time to find." A unique, novel and unique beginning is powerful and attractive, which can produce a feeling that people want to read it and then quickly. There are many methods at the beginning of the article. The following are some common paradigms for your reference.

1. Cut to the chase. Straight to the point means to put forward opinions and ask questions directly at the beginning of the article. Bai Juyi said: "The first sentence is aimed at its purpose." This "purpose" is the central argument of the article. This method pointed out the "navigation mark" for the full text at the beginning.

In ancient poetry, it is customary to start with a topic and deduce a topic, either explicitly or implicitly. This is often the case at the beginning of a quatrain or the first couplet of a rhyme, and so is the article. For example, "Teachers' Theory" begins with "ancient scholars must have teachers", and then around this argument, it discusses why to do it, how to learn from teachers and the necessity of learning from teachers; At the beginning of "Encouraging Learning", I said "I can't learn". This paper discusses why "learning" can't be done and how not to do it with the significance, function, method and attitude of learning. Another example is the beginning of "Six Kingdoms": "The six kingdoms were crushed, and it was not the soldiers who were unfavorable, and the war was not good. The disadvantage lies in the Qin dynasty. If you are guilty of Qin, you will lose your vitality, and you will be defeated. Or: the six countries mourn each other and lead the way to Qin? People who don't take bribes will lose their lives, and they will lose their strong support, so they can't do it alone. Therefore, the disadvantage is that it has also committed Qin. " Get to the point and make clear your point of view, and then complete your point of view by means of simulated question and answer, which is impeccable.

2. Narrative quotation. Tell the story, language or facts in life, describe the story content with the theme in the simplest language, and then naturally lead to the theme. The advantage of this way of opening is that it is lively and attracts readers. For example:

Master Hongyi, a generation of eminent monks, said to his disciples before nirvana, "Look at my teeth. What do you think?" "It's all gone." "What about the tongue? Still there? " "Still there." Therefore, tough things are always stronger than hard things. ("Toughness, the character I pursue")

I am often moved to tears by an old man named Weisheng. "I have an appointment with that woman, and that woman didn't arrive until three days later. In the event of a flood, the micro-life died holding the column. " Weisheng is such a persistent and lovely gentleman. For that perhaps unimportant agreement, in order to keep the contract written to him in his heart, he bravely defended it with his life. I saw two flashing words from him-honesty. (contract to keep your head)

3. Famous sayings are extended

Quote famous aphorisms related to the theme, associate and expand them, reveal their practical significance, and then quickly put forward pertinent arguments.

Note: accumulate some wonderful famous sayings and aphorisms on common topics, and avoid hating books when using them. For example:

Archimedes said, "Give me a fulcrum and I can pry the earth up!" " "I said," give me a fulcrum, and I can hold up my soul! "Integrity is the fulcrum of a person's soul. ("Integrity")

Bing Xin said, "A successful flower is admired only for its present brilliance. However, the initial germination was saturated with the blood and rain of life and full of tears of struggle. " Perhaps the gorgeous and charming flowers will surprise people. However, when you see the sacrifices made by flowers, you will feel that everything is reasonable. ("unexpected, reasonable")

As the saying goes, "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony", and the key to "harmony" lies in "security". Those who are "safe" are stable and harmonious. If the family is safe, the family will be lucky; When the country is safe, the country will prosper; Peace in space leads to harmony of all things. Peace is the foundation of peace. Therefore, safety is the foundation and harmony is the most important. ("Say' Ann')

4. Comparative citation

Basic idea: Contrasting conflict+demonstrating presentation.

Thinking procedure: dialectical thinking (establishing the contrast of phenomena or viewpoints, making straightforward judgments and making clear viewpoints)

Language paradigm: ×× (topic phenomenon) Some people ... Some people ... me. ...

For example:

If you ask any middle school student what logarithms are, what Lorenz's law is, and what nuclear structure is, he will definitely explain these things clearly and make you marvel that young people are scientists now. However, if you find a top student and ask him what to do if he is bitten by a snake in the wild, he may scratch his head and think about various chemical reactions, and then simply say "I don't know" to you. Then "How much is a catty of green vegetables?" I don't know! "How to fold the quilt" "I don't know!" "Why don't you know anything?" "I don't know!"

This is a current situation of education in China: scientific knowledge is very tight, and all kinds of Olympics are flourishing, but common sense education seems to be not strong enough. ("Don't take common sense when eating improperly")

Living is really tiring. Some people lamented. Living is really annoying. Some people sigh so much. It's wonderful to be alive. I love it. ("Look at life calmly")

5. Ask questions and guide the purpose

Basic idea: setting questions+introducing questions

Thinking program: causal thinking (continuous questioning of the cause or result of a topic (or related social phenomenon))

Language Paradigm: Phenomenon or Result —— Cause Analysis One, Two, Three —— Analysis and Comparison —— The most profound reason

For example:

Common sense, such a common sentence, such a simple truth, will still be "forgotten" by some people today. Why do so many people make common sense mistakes today when knowledge is highly popularized? ... subjective contempt ... interest-driven ... greed-blinded ... let's remember the common sense of life together and maintain it with action.

6. Bi Xing listed the purpose.

Bi Xing, let's talk about something else first. Start with other things in life, strengthen your literary talent through a set of parallelism sentences, and finally fall on the topic materials. Its format is similar to the folk song form of northern Shaanxi-Xintianyou.

Note: things-people; Nature-society.

The sky contains every cloud, no matter its beauty or ugliness, so the sky is vast and boundless. The earth embraces every inch of land, rich or poor, so it belongs to vast expanse. The ocean accepts every river, big or small, so the ocean is boundless. Life is colorful because of tolerance. ("learn to be tolerant")

② Without the depth of blue sky, there can be the elegance of white clouds; Without the magnificence of the sea, there can be the elegance of the stream; Without the fragrance of Yuan Ye, there can be green grass. There is no room for onlookers in life, and we can always find our own stage. Since God has given talents, let them be used! A confident person will always be the protagonist on the stage. ("People need self-confidence"

(3) Butterflies can't fly even if they spread their wings, because they are not bound by cocoons; Seeds have no experience of breaking through the ground, even if they grow tender stems, they will break when they meet the wind; Deer are not threatened by wolves, and even if they breed quickly, they will die because of lack of vitality. If a person has no pressure since childhood and is born at ease, then he can't stand the wind and rain on the road of life. (Walking under pressure)

Although the raindrops are small, they moisten the grass and add a touch of new green to the earth; Although the masonry is simple, it has built a building to shelter people from the wind and rain; All sentient beings, as long as they live out the value of life, have written a cadenza. ("Ordinary cadenza")

7. "Introduction-analysis-main points" type at the beginning

The college entrance examination composition questions are now the era of material composition questions, so when writing, you must first draw out the materials before putting forward arguments, because arguments are drawn from the materials and are the answers to the questions raised by the materials or the tasks of composition.

"Quote"-Quote materials in one or two sentences selectively, or summarize them concisely.

"Analysis"-purposefully analyze the phenomena or functions in the review materials, or link them with the reality of society or life by deduction or analogy (from phenomena to essence, from individual to general, from concrete to abstract, from this to that), and refine and sublimate them.

"Point" —— Point out a viewpoint with universal significance (universal principle, social life philosophy or spiritual quality worth advocating), and the expression of the viewpoint should be accurate, concise, clear-cut and clear at a glance.
