As the saying goes, "everything is difficult at the beginning." He also said, "A good beginning is half the battle." The same is true of composition, especially narrative. At the beginning, it is very important to create an atmosphere, set the tone for the article and give the reader the first impression. If the beginning of a composition is just right, it can often catch the reader at once and increase the highlights of the article. Therefore, whether you can write the beginning of a composition flexibly, uniquely and accurately is often related to the success or failure of an article. There are many ways to start a narrative, and the common ones are as follows:

First, cut to the chase and get to the point.

Narrative written mainly by characters can directly explain the characters or point out the topic through the description of portraits, languages and actions; Narrative narrative can point out the time, place and related background of the event at the beginning and enter the theme. For example:

1, the window of the sunset, a beautiful girl stood there, staring at the beautiful scenery of early spring outside. She sighed and looked down at the pink roses in the blue and white porcelain vase. She closed her eyes and recalled the past. (Pink Rose)

On that day, a big red notice was posted in front of the flower shop: order flowers for Mother's Day. Oh! Mother's Day is coming. It's time for me to prepare a holiday present for my mother. (Mother's Day gift)

Second, write landscapes and render the atmosphere.

At the beginning, the article starts with writing the scene, showing the environment of the characters' activities or explaining the background of the story, and rendering the atmosphere to set off the characters and unfold the story. For example:

1, Chaoyang comes out, and the lake dresses it; The new moon has come up, with the stars as companions; Spring blossoms, green leaves set it off; Birds sing, crickets play the piano for them ... Everything in the world tells us the story of love. (Forever Love)

2. When the sun sets, the dim glow renders half the sky. I am lonely on the balcony. On the old poplar outside the window, the unknown big bird is still tirelessly feeding its baby. Its mung bean-like eyes looked gently and lovingly at the bird that wanted to fly out of the nest. This photo, like this, reminds me of my mother ...

Third, guide the whole article and prompt the main points.

This beginning briefly summarizes the main content of the article, and the main points of the article are clear at a glance, such as:

1, Zheng Zhenduo's Cats begins with "I have several cats at home, and they always end up missing or dead." This sentence is a summary, indicating that the main content of the full text is about the process of raising three cats at home.

2. "I have a habit, and my mother says it's a good habit." ("I have a good habit") This opening comes straight to the point and dominates the whole article. The main part of the article focuses on a good habit of mine.

3. "Looking back at the traces of the years, I found that there are always some things that can't be erased by the wind and rain of life." ("Knocking on the Door Ring of Memory") This beginning prompts the main points of the article with concise language, so that people can know at a glance that the composition is about some unforgettable things in life.

Fourth, lyrical discussion, determine the tone.

With a few appropriate comments, make a lyrical essay at the beginning, or infect readers, or point out the main idea, and then. For example:

1, accompanied by the crackling firecrackers at the end of the year, stepping on the melting snow in Yuan Ye, you walk slowly, and your eyes are full of affection. You make my yellow face blush with the warmth of love; You sang with love, which awakened my confused faith. I, no longer depressed, no longer dull, no longer hesitant, no longer waiting, no longer watching, no longer praying, I will cheer up, find, find you, and find the colorful dreams you have woven for me! ("Love Send Spring Breeze")

2. Birthday is a line, one is me and the other is my grandmother. Birthday is a circle, surrounded by grandma's smile and my memory; Birthday is a river, and the swift current carries my thoughts of my grandmother. ("Birthday message")

Verb (abbreviation of verb) setting problem leads to the following content.

Starting with a question can catch the reader's heart at once, stimulate people's interest and thinking, and have fascinating effects. For example:

1. Did you jump off the cliff helplessly to get rid of that cold and hunger day? Did you throw yourself off this cliff to avoid the shame of being captured? (Trees on the Cliff)

2. Friend, have you heard how crocodiles cry? Have you heard the story of orangutans eating people? Do you know how aliens came to earth? ..... Oh, you shook your head. Don't worry, it's all like this-what "Anecdotes in the World" told me also made me feel the pleasure of reading after class. (The pleasure of reading after class)

Sixth, quote poems and highlight the center

Starting with poetic quips and famous sayings can not only stimulate readers' interest, but also improve the taste of the article. At the same time, it can also reveal the main content of the article and highlight people and events. For example:

1, "I came to this world to see the sunshine." I haven't forgotten this sentence of balmont for almost a day since I first read it. The poet, like a person who has never been hurt, sincerely, happily and quietly praises the earth, sunshine and the noisy world. ("I came to this world to see the sunshine")

2. "Mom, you are a lotus leaf and I am a red lotus. The raindrops in my heart are coming. Who is the shadow of my sky except you? " Every time I see Ms. Bing Xin eulogizing her mother's words, I can't help but think of my little loving mother, who bears the burden of family life alone. (Boundless Motherly Love)

Seven, contrast, contrast, contrast.

Through comparison or elaboration, this kind of opening can make the content to be expressed more prominent and eye-catching in contrast with other things, thus giving people a very clear and profound impression. For example:

1, the sun is shining outside the window, and a few birds are chirping happily in the tree, but I can't get up anyway, because my parents are separated and divorced, which is a great blow to me. I will try my best to reconcile my parents, because I want to have a perfect home. ("I want to have a perfect home")

When you see rows of vibrant green trees standing proudly on the flat land, you may not help admiring the extraordinary creativity of nature. Green trees are beautiful, and dead trees also have their loveliness, although youth is gone and life is decadent. (dead tree)

In fact, the beginning of a composition is often not a single form, sometimes it is a combination of several forms. For example, "The beauty is divided into two parts, and the Lingshan opens Jiuhua" is a poem left by Li Shang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. People have long known that words like "valleys crisscross", "silver waterfalls fly down" and "strange peaks and rocks are dotted around" are used to describe the wonders of Jiuhua Mountain, but this is only heard. If you want to really appreciate the beautiful scenery, you naturally have to go once, so you participated in the school's trip to Jiuhua Mountain in the summer vacation. " (Zhang Lei's "Nine Huashan on Sword") This opening not only quotes poems, but also begins with some questions. Another example is: "In late winter and early spring, the sky is very pure, as pure as a piece of glass without dust, as if knocking at the door can hear a crisp sound." There is no wind, the window is open, and the string of wind chimes is silent, as if asleep. Standing at the window, I looked up at the string of wind chimes, green silk thread and yellow orange peel-this is a very special string of wind chimes. Do you want to know how it was born? "(Listen to the sound of happiness) This opening not only sets off a quiet and beautiful atmosphere with delicate and vivid descriptions, but also sets fascinating questions to guide the whole article. Therefore, what kind of beginning to choose depends not only on the needs of composition, but also on your own expressive ability. You must not aim too high and be self-defeating.

A good composition should start with simplicity, novelty and beauty.

1, the so-called Jane means that the beginning should be concise and clear, and don't repeat it. You need something written clearly in one sentence, don't add a long narrative in front, delete all the nonsense, and make the article look straightforward and clean. For example:

Spring is like a great parallel prose; Summer is like a sonnet. (A Summer Poem by Jane Privet)

When you smell chicken, you have to dance. Singing while drinking will make you feel sorry for the moon and feel that the wind is coming. (Zhang Wei, "Lin Feng")

2, the so-called new, is the beginning of unconventional, novel and chic. For example:

"I am a bird, a bird without wings. I am fluttering in the wind and rain, but I don't want to lose my way. There is a voice in my heart calling: I want to fly, I want to fly high ...-inscription "("I want to fly high ")

The author wrote down his heart in the form of an inscription, "To fly high", to be the master of learning, and to find his lost personality from the overwhelming pile of homework. Such a beginning is striking.

3, the so-called beauty, is to start to give people a sense of beauty, let people enjoy beauty. To achieve this effect, it is often necessary to use image description, beautiful lyric or appropriate rhetorical devices. For example:

A cool breeze blew through the window bar, gently tugging at the wind chimes, and Ding played a wonderful melody; The willows in Chi Pan are swaying in the wind, swinging their waist leisurely like water snakes, and the inseparable wicker is hiding around shyly; The breeze blows the white curtains and flutters like a sail. (Suite of Rain)

As the saying goes, "ditty is easy to sing, but it is difficult to write a good composition at the beginning." It requires us to feel life with our heart, to learn and accumulate writing knowledge, and to explore and innovate. Mencius said, "My life is limited and my knowledge is limited. "Knowledge is an endless sea, and writing is a spray in the sea. Only by devoting yourself to the ocean of knowledge, not afraid of the wind and waves, and daring to explore the treasures at the bottom of the sea can we capture the most beautiful waves in the field of writing.
