As the saying goes, "A good beginning is half the battle." Everything is difficult at the beginning, so is doing things, and so is writing articles. The ancient writers in China were very particular about the beginning of the article, so there was a saying that "the head of a phoenix is like a pig's belly and the tail of a leopard". The "phoenix head" is the legendary phoenix head. No one has ever seen this kind of bird, but in the painter's pen, we can see the feathers on the head of a small phoenix, which are colorful and eye-catching, giving people a beautiful feeling. It is said that the beginning of the article should be like "Phoenix Head", that is to say, the beginning of the article should be well written and beautifully written, which makes people want to read, watch and read.

For the writer, there is a good beginning, and the following article will feel comfortable to write, otherwise it will feel awkward and it will be difficult to write smoothly. Therefore, writing a narrative, like writing all other articles, should pay attention to the beginning of the article.

Second, the problem discussion:

Some students do not pay attention to the beginning of the article when writing, and think that it is enough to write the main content of the article. This understanding is wrong. So at the beginning of some compositions, there are mainly two "common problems":

1, too far from the point, beating around the bush, too far from the point. I always beat around the bush when I put pen to paper. Some people compare it to a big-headed doll. . For example, writing about how teachers care about students' deeds in every possible way, some students begin like this: "When I see the word teacher, I will think of gardeners. Teachers are gardeners who cultivate the flowers of the motherland ... "At the beginning, what I said was something that some people knew, which was far from the point and went around. These words are unnecessary.

2. Unnecessary lyricism. Some compositions are lyrical at the beginning, which can't be said to be impossible, but it's obviously unnecessary, because what the article wants to write has not been done yet. Such a beginning makes people feel inexplicable and can't move people. For example, when writing a little thing on campus, an essay begins with the words: "Ah, my beautiful campus, you are the cradle of our growth …", which makes people feel artificial.

3. The same format is fixed. It was just a few words at first.

4. Pursuing tricks is self-defeating. It is well written, and the expression of thoughts and feelings is unclear, unclear and untrue. Example: There are two pleasant things and one unpleasant thing in my summer vacation. Let's talk about the happy things first.

-"My Summer Life"

My class is a civilized class, and everyone thinks it's good, but I think it has both good and bad sides, but on the whole, I still think it's good, but it's less bad and much better. Student unity is good, but some students often violate discipline. So I think it is still a good class.

-"My Classroom"

Third, the method guidance:

When writing a topic composition, how did we start? There are many methods, and they are flexible and diverse. Here are just some points to pay attention to at the beginning of the narrative.

Principles to be followed at the beginning:

(1). centripetal. At the beginning, we must closely follow the main content and central idea of the full text in order to highlight the center.

(2) simplicity. Language should be concise, and it is best to come straight to the point.

1, pay attention to the starting point.

When writing an exam-oriented composition, time is tight and it is difficult to make full preparations. Therefore, we should pay attention to the topic when writing at the beginning, so that we can directly get to the point and get into the main body, which is not easy to stray from the topic and can make the composition more compact.

This is especially true when writing some memorable articles or articles with flashback structure.

For example, Remember a Spinning Wheel wrote: "I once used a spinning wheel and left it with some books in Lanjiaping when I left Yan 'an. I often think of it later. Thinking of it is like thinking of traveling companions and comrades-in-arms, and my heart is full of deep nostalgia. "My Teacher" begins like this: "What impressed me most was Mr. Cai in primary school. "Back" wrote: "I haven't seen my father for more than two years, and the most unforgettable thing is his back. "

So how do we ask questions?

First, punctuated sentences should be in the second half of the first paragraph. Why emphasize this point? Some of our classmates turn to irrelevant topics after ordering the topic, which not only fails to achieve the purpose of ordering the topic, but also easily becomes nonsense. This is what everyone should pay attention to.

Second, you can bring out the topic you want to describe by setting off sentences when you order questions. The so-called foil sentence is a sentence that deliberately borrows another thing to foil one thing. It is equivalent to the technique of "xing" in classical poetry.

For example, "people often say that' girls are born to dream'. I am such a girl. Any scenery in nature will arouse my reverie: today, when I see an eagle spreading its wings in the sky, I will fantasize that I am floating in the blue sky with the wind and roaming among white clouds; I will watch fish tomorrow, and I fantasize about visiting the Dragon Palace ... But in my heart, I have an unchanging dream-to be a new teacher in the 2 1 century! (Yuan Lei)

Third, it is best to point out the topic directly with the words in the title of the article. It is not easy to make the content of the main part deviate from the theme.

Let's look at some beginnings:

1. The teacher happily gave me a certificate. At this time, I knew I had succeeded. From the teacher.

I gave a thumbs-up sign. I took the certificate and cried with joy. I gave myself a thumbs-up sign. ("Give yourself a thumbs up")

Graduation is just around the corner, but I can't forget our immature but successful "cooperation" between our Chinese teacher and us (at the beginning).

3. Love is a ray of sunshine in winter, which dispels the cold frost; Love is a shower after a long drought, nourishing a broken heart; Love is a bright light in Wang Yang, which indicates the hope of a new life. ("Give love to others")

In my childhood schoolbag, there is an emotion, which is my concern and attachment to Chinese. For more than ten years, it has stood the test of time. As my partner, it is destined to go on forever. Looking back at every detail in the footprints behind you, it is full of beautiful life ripples and charming life ripples. (taste of china)

Time took me by the hand and took me through fifteen spring, summer, autumn and winter. Looking back suddenly, I left a string of footprints on the road of growth. (Zhang Yuanyuan's growing footprint)

2. The beginning should correspond to the theme.

The beginning of the article is not isolated. It must be closely related to the main part. So sometimes when we write a composition at the beginning, we should pay attention to the following and corresponding topics, especially when we summarize the basic content of the article at the beginning. Let's look at a complete article:

Interpretation of "Applause"

Applause is a vivid language that expresses endless meanings. Clapping for yourself is a kind of self-confidence; Applause for failure is an encouragement; Clapping for the hero is a kind of admiration; Clapping for the strength of the motherland is a pleasure. ...

Weak and weak, you walk to the starting line, facing all the battle-hardened opponents and facing the long seemingly endless runway. Are you afraid? Please give applause to your hands in the air! Applaud for your courage to challenge yourself. Please let this loud applause inspire your confidence and run! With this confidence, I believe you will be able to challenge the limit and beat yourself.

When you just stood on the podium and suffered from the failed speech, when your crystal tears overflowed your eyes, suddenly there was a burst of applause from the audience. Although the sound is not very loud, it is enough to apply to your injured wound like a good medicine and moisten your heart like a clear spring. At this moment, you cried. No, sad tears instantly turned into grateful tears. You bowed deeply to the applause of encouragement. This applause is

When the flood-fighting hero told the story of fighting the raging flood with his own flesh and blood, the audience was silent, followed by prolonged applause, what a warm applause! This applause is full of people's admiration and deep gratitude for the hero. The heroes who fought the flood cried, because the applause of the people affirmed and praised their dedication, which was their greatest honor.

When President Samaranch told the world in that solemn voice that the host country of the 2008 Olympic Games was China, hundreds of millions of people in China were boiling. They clapped their hands and applauded, and tears flowed all over their skirts. At this time, perhaps the best way to express your inner joy is to applaud! They declared to the world with an avalanche of applause that China has become strong and the Chinese nation stands proudly in the east and the world.

Applause is endowed with infinite meaning and is the best way for people to express their feelings. Expressing affirmation, encouragement or joy to people in this way is the most vivid, vivid and beautiful language.

"Applause" needs no interpretation. As long as you have a heart and feelings, there will be applause everywhere in your life. You might as well clap more, for others, for yourself, for that colorful life. ...

Comments: The first paragraph of the article is the general outline, and the main paragraph closely follows the above four sentences, capturing four groups of typical pictures of "applause" in real life, further expounding the role and significance of applause, and drawing the final conclusion.

3. Use rhetoric at the beginning.

Rhetoric is the best way to make the beginning vivid. The most commonly used are metaphor, parallelism and quotation. Here, let's make a brief introduction.

Use metaphors to enhance the image from the beginning.

For example, 1, the days are falling from the tree of life one by one. Inadvertently, I suddenly find that the years have put 16 annual rings on it.

Life is a blank sheet of paper, and each of us is a painter with various brushes. Life is a cup of mellow wine, and each of us is an excellent sommelier; Life is a magical land, and each of us is a hard worker; Life is a long road with no end in sight. Each of us is a hiker of life. (Cai Mingming)

3. Life has only turned fifteen times on the annual ring, and life has told me a lot ... (hujie)

4. Life is like a persuasive tutor, who always tells me to learn to affirm myself, surpass myself and create myself. (Yuan Weiwei)

5. What is life? I often ask myself this question. But over time, I found that life is a teacher who grew up with me. (When Min Min)

6, life is like a poem, hazy and fresh, free and unrestrained, full of joy, sadness and philosophy; Life is like a painting, colorful, mixed with shades, poetic and unforgettable ... (Xue Dongwei)

7. When I was growing up, many things happened, just like walking on the beach and leaving a string of footprints. (Su Yahong)

8. Life is like a cup of mellow wine, and life is like a cup of light green tea. Only those who know how to taste can savor the taste and know what life tells you. (Zhang Yuanyuan)

Use parallelism to enhance the momentum at the beginning.

1, once the voice of a thousand-year-old Confucian master, has become worthless in intrigue and intrigue; It used to be the code of conduct adhered to by countless people who read widely all their lives, and it used to be the coat on which sinister people's careers depended. It is so simple that a dumb child can call its name; It's so complicated that some people will lose it without regret, without a trace ... it's honesty. (the call of the Millennium)

2. Childhood is a song, singing happy music; Childhood is a boat, carrying my father.

Countless wishes of the mother; Childhood is a museum, displaying innocent and immature works; Childhood is a story, telling simple and vivid fragments. (childhood)

3. I have a bridge and love Zhao Zhouqiao. It has a unique structure and a long history. Love is like a rainbow, the majestic Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge; But I love the overpass in my hometown more. They are symphonies in my heart. (overpass, symphony in my heart)

4. A very broad reed pond, a Christmas tree that will never grow tall, and a low wooden house full of green vines. This reed pond is the hometown of cranes, this Christmas tree is a monument to oil workers, and this wooden house is my home.

Use quotation at the beginning to add rhyme.

1, snow is silent, it is silent all the way. The field appreciates its nourishment, the poet sings its magnificence, and it has only white silence. This poem entitled "Snow" deeply shocked my soul. The author's falling love for snow evokes a strong sound in my heart! Snow is the most familiar thing for children who grew up in Wan Li snow, which is thousands of miles away in the north of the motherland. My deep affection for snow is hard to express in words. (white silence)

Yang Wanli wrote about the West Lake in June, and the lotus reflected the sun. Su Shi wrote about the West Lake in the rain, but they may not know that the West Lake in the snow has a special charm. (West Lake in the Snow)

3. "Without the fragrance of flowers and the height of trees, I am a grass that nobody knows ..." Euphemistic songs linger in my ears again, once again arousing my infinite respect for grass. (grass)

4. "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." This summer vacation, I finally came to this beautiful city-Hangzhou. ("Tour the West Lake")

4. Create a situation from the beginning.

At the beginning, by describing the environment and expressing feelings to render the atmosphere and set the situation, we can set the emotional tone for the full text and create a situational beauty for the full text. For example, why Zhu Ziqing's Back is touching is the result of the author's rendering of special events such as grandmother's death, father's idleness and father's old age, and creating a specific situation.

For example: 1, it's defoliation season again. Pieces of golden leaves fall from the branches and into the embrace of the earth, turning into spring mud, waiting for another cycle of life. ...

Pick up a yellow fallen leaf, feel the faint heartbeat in the season of falling leaves, and let your thoughts extend in the context. ...

The bright moon shines on Li Bai's hometown, and the plum blossom is in front of Wang Wei's window. The ancients had a vivid description of the image of home. What else can I say? There is no moon in front of the bed tonight, and there is no plum under the window in the courtyard. Saxophone hummed stubbornly. It knows my mind.

3. Outside the window, the dim moonlight shines on the old tree, which seems to have worn away the scars on the old trunk and the vicissitudes left by the years. Facing this scene, my thoughts drifted away again. ...

Let's look at Cao's Farewell in 2002. Maybe we can better understand the beauty of this situation.

say goodbye to

Feeling a little disappointed and uneasy, I walked on the small stone road leading to the research room with simple luggage. The sound of clogs around me is beating my firm and wandering heart.

Still the familiar picture: among a pile of pale bones, Mr. Fujino is sitting, still so dark and thin. At this time, he is recording something. I raised my hand, as if it were hard. I knocked unsteadily and recoiled uncomfortably. I just want to put the letter I have already prepared in and walk away silently. I don't want Mr. Fujino to look up: "Is it a tree person? Come in! " He put down his pen and happily pulled me into the room. It's the same cadence: "Anatomy seems to have made some progress recently, but it still needs efforts. Here are two books that will help. " I quickly waved: "No, sir, I have ... I have ..." The gentleman looked at me doubtfully, and suddenly he seemed to understand something, froze, and his voice trembled: "This, this, this, Shu Ren, are you leaving?" Looking at my husband's black and thin face and some sad eyes, what shocked me most was that my husband was so sad. He looked at me expectantly. "Sir, I, I decided to change my student's biology." In my hurry, I thought of biology. Maybe it will make my husband feel better. He slowly turned around and stared at the distance quietly, staring at the distance full of cherry blossoms ... At noon, he sighed deeply, somewhat confused and sad: "Teaching medical anatomy, fearing biology, is of little help." He turned around and found wet tears in the corner of his eyes. He sighed again: "I think ... forget it." In short, you should always remember your suffering motherland ... "After that, I fell into silent meditation again ... I gently withdrew from the research room.

Walking on the familiar small stone road, the clogs are gnawing at my heart like gears, leaving Mr. Fujino with anxiety, disappointment and a little gratitude to find a way for himself and the public.

Comments: The tone of the article is low and the mood is sad, which is actually the result of the situation created at the beginning and end.

5, the beginning should be cleverly set suspense.

At the beginning of "Sound and Sound Game", it was written: "The candidate for the director of foundry workshop was concentrated under the names of Xiao Huang and Dali after public opinion polls and investigations. When it comes to working ability and mass relations, they are neck and neck. This stumbles the cadre section chief Zhang ... "The author then closely follows the suspense of" tripping over "and designs the story, which deeply attracts readers. Of course, this is a suspended structure at the beginning of the article.

Similarly, as at the beginning of the two examples selected earlier:

1. In the morning, I sat at the dining table. I looked up and found everyone looking at me mysteriously, as if I had discovered a new continent.

My mother stared at me with strange eyes and asked absently, "Do you have a seat number in your class?"

"I made it up." I answered casually. The story of "Six"

In class, Wu Xin opened the drawer and accidentally found a small note. Looking carefully, it is Kanan's words: "I am too anxious to see you, and I hope to get through the crowded crowd."

See you later ... I just want to be with you for the rest of my life! She blushed before she finished reading the letter. Looking around, fortunately no one saw this embarrassing scene. It's all the fault of the lyrics

Of course, there are various other beginnings. Learn slowly after class, so I won't talk about it here.

6 Inscription introduction method skillfully uses inscriptions that reveal the theme.

(1) there is no tree, but there can be grass green; Without the beauty of peony, you can have the freedom of small wild chrysanthemum ... life is not necessarily brilliant, but it must be great! Notes before the text of a book or after the title of an article.

Butterfly was once a beautiful and excellent dancer. Her long shawl and gentle dance brought her thunderous applause and countless flowers. She was hailed by others as China's future Duncan ... but it's all over, and fate will keep her in a wheelchair forever. Life is bleak and silent, and the "white swan" has become an ugly duckling that nobody cares about. How many times, she dreamed that she put on glass shoes and continued her pursuit, but when she woke up, she only heard the cold autumn wind. ("Star Night Talk")

If you lose money, you only lose a small part; If you lose your health, you only lose a small part; If you lose your integrity, you are almost bankrupt. Notes before the text of a book or after the title of an article.

What is "honesty"? So is honesty and trustworthiness. Throughout history, the word "sincerity" has soaked many people's blood and tears. ? Who is praising the emperor's new clothes? )

Starting with an inscription, or explaining the reason for writing, or drawing the content, or revealing the purpose of writing, its language is often concise and philosophical. It is pleasing to see through its bright spot and touch its emotional pulse.

Example: Days are like fine sand in your hands. If you are not careful, you will pass through your fingers one by one and never look back.

-"Inspection Day"

Comparing the day to the smooth and slow sand in the palm of your hand can give people a feeling of being suddenly enlightened. The sand itself is very dynamic and beautiful, pointing out the essence of a day, which is apt and full of philosophy. Then the author examines the messy fragments of the day with the method of stream of consciousness, and thinks about the topic of growth with an introspective attitude, which is integrated with the inscription. )

Ex.: Thank God for giving mankind this wonderful feeling: intoxication. In fact, when you are tired, don't forget to leave yourself a sky that makes your heart wander.

-"Intoxication"

At the beginning, the author explained his understanding of intoxication with an inscription: it is not only a state of satisfaction, but also a kind of enjoyment and a kind of spiritual rest. Beautiful words, more beautiful meaning. )

1. Quote famous words and sentences

(1) Ask what the world is and teach people life and death. Yuan Haowen is really good at asking questions, and so is he. His question can be said to have been asked for a long time For many years, how many people have been wandering on this issue, and

How many people have made the final answer in life after paying a huge price. But every family's words are as different as everyone's face. ?

Shi said, "Love is a tool. ..... "("What is love in the world ")

In a medieval church, a saint began his speech: "I became a saint because I saw through money. What belongs to me belongs to everyone." Long years, a snap of your fingers. In a cross-century prison, a thief began his monologue: "I became a thief because I saw through the money, and everyone's is mine." (Saints and Thieves)

Fourth, composition training.

To write three prefaces on the topic of "My Wealth" requires three different modes.

Here are some common ways to get you off to a good start.

1 I am happy, I am glad, because I have a wealth that belongs to me. Rich people are always nothing more than spirit and material things. But my wealth is books.

My wealth is the poverty of my family and the hardship of my life.

Britain's crown is the wealth of Queen Elizabeth, shouting and wandering are the wealth of Lu Xun, and "do your best until you die" is the spiritual wealth of Xu Hu. What is my wealth? I don't have a lot of money, and I don't have the literary talent and tolerance of "everyone is happy to shake the five mountains and the poet is proud to laugh at Cangzhou". All I have are piles of books, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and my tireless enthusiasm and love for books.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) summary:

There are many ways to write at the beginning of the article. The following are several common ones. In writing, sometimes we cannot use a single method, but several methods. With what method to start, we should consider the overall idea of the article, set out from the need to express the central idea, arrange the overall design throughout the article, and choose the most suitable starting method. In short, the beginning that attracts readers from the beginning is a good beginning.
