It is the nature of every child to like small animals. Kittens and puppies, chickens and ducklings, small fish and birds, small frogs and small crabs are all bosom friends of children. Sometimes they will be ecstatic because they accidentally get a small animal. Sometimes, children are so anxious that they can't eat, sleep or even cry because of the sudden disappearance or death of their beloved animals. When adults recall their childhood, they will never forget how animals germinated their childlike innocence and love, and the good times they spent together, the time full of childlike innocence and fun.

Pupils practice writing, usually starting with writing about animals. This is because they not only love animals, but also have contact with animals in most weekly studies. Therefore, describing animals is an indispensable topic for primary school students.

So how do you describe animals?

First, we must grasp the characteristics of animals.

Every animal has its own unique characteristics. Majestic tigers, lively monkeys, docile pandas, cunning foxes, docile lambs, considerate dogs, singing birds, pigeons that can send messages ... Only by grasping the characteristics of animals can we describe them realistically and let people see their shapes and hear their voices. For example, when you visit the zoo, you should introduce giraffes to children. What are the main characteristics of giraffes? Fast running speed and beautiful stripes are the unique characteristics of giraffes. But the main feature of giraffe is its long neck. It is the tallest animal in the world. The female deer is more than 4 meters tall and the male deer is about 5 meters tall. The highest record is 5.78 meters. It has four slender legs and a particularly long neck. Surprisingly, it has only seven cervical vertebrae, the same number as human cervical vertebrae. The giraffe's seven cervical vertebrae are lined up, which is its long neck. The length of each cervical vertebra can be imagined. Only by writing these clearly and concretely can we grasp the main characteristics of giraffes.

Another example is Seven Chickens, in which a group of lovely chickens are written. They are like a group of naive children, some are quiet, some are active, some are gentle, some are aggressive, and even each has its own nickname, which is vivid. Why can the little author write these chickens so vividly? One is that the author can choose vivid details to express the shape and characteristics of birds, and the other is that the author is good at speculating the character of chickens with his own psychology? And using anthropomorphic techniques, the writing of chicken seems reasonable and vividly shows the different temperament of chicken.

To master the characteristics of animals, we must do everything possible to be familiar with animals, so we must observe them carefully and repeatedly. Only by in-depth and meticulous observation can we understand things clearly, describe them accurately and concretely, and achieve what we have written. For example, to write a bird, you must carefully observe it from head to toe, from its color, expression and even living habits. You should not only see its mouth and claws, but also pay attention to its drinking and pecking. After repeated observation, you can remember it clearly when you write. Sometimes we should learn to observe from the aspects of vision, hearing and taste, grasp its characteristics, and distinguish the shape, initial sound, color and living habits of the described object. For example, in the article "The Pigeon Guest", the author described the beautiful feathers of the pigeon, and wrote that the feathers on its neck "seemed to change into various colors", and it "cocked its head when it heard the whistle outside", especially that it "flew straight to the goldfish bowl, washed its head in water, sprinkled some water on it with its mouth, wiped its feathers and dressed itself beautifully".

Another example is the article Chicken, in which the author not only personifies the chicken, but also personifies it. Look, the four chickens have their own personalities: Emperor Jin is naughty and brave, sensible and obedient; Two hens, black roses and reeds, are busy laying eggs and bringing chicks. The author is not only careful in observation, but also good at dynamic description. Emperor Jin's stride with his head held high, the speed of catching insects and the fighting between two cocks are all vividly described.

If you can further discover the characteristics of the observed object through general observation and comparison, you can be good at observation. There are many different things in the world, and different things have different characteristics. Everything has its own characteristics, even the same thing has its own characteristics. If we compare one thing with another, it is easy to accurately grasp the characteristics, because the characteristics of things are often displayed in comparison with other things. For example, the little author of the article "Magpies build nests" first observed the expression, movements and calls of magpies when they built nests, and then found the "uniqueness" of magpies' appearance, and then compared it with that of horses and horses. This highlights the characteristics of magpies nesting. Magpies are highly skilled' construction experts', and this conclusion is logical.

Secondly, we should express our feelings. The purpose of describing your favorite animals is not to describe things, but to describe them through things! Describe to express your thoughts and feelings, so that readers are infected and resonate. If students have read the article "Litchi Honey", they will be moved by the little bees described in the article, especially when they read the statement that worker bees live up to six months, you will certainly resonate with the author and admire how cute the little bees are! "It's true that little bees want nothing from people, but they are excellent things for people.

Love is the foundation of writing, and the article is expensive in laziness. Writing character notes naturally needs to incorporate feelings into the narrative, and articles describing small animals should also convey feelings between the lines. For example, the little author of My Little Hedgehog-"Xinxin" loves the little hedgehog very much, so he will observe the little hedgehog's every move with great interest, and his writing will be full of a very deep emotion. This article uses personification in many places, regarding Xiao Lajiao as "my" intimate partner, and sometimes calling Xiao Lajiao by the second person "you", which makes people feel a kind of childlike interest. Only by being sincere and sincere can we naturally reveal our love and hate between the lines, get the effect of moving people with emotion and enhance the artistic appeal of the article.

Another example is The Life of Little Black written by Bessie, a primary school student in Hong Kong. Although the little author wrote about a puppy, we feel that this little black is really an important member of the little author's family because the full text instills his feelings for small animals. After careful description by the little author, Xiaohei was personified. It raises children like a mother. Those four don't look like puppies, but they are really four naughty and naive little dolls. Writing about Xiaohei's "maternal love" is also very delicate and touching. It is precisely because of writing about Xiaohe's love for the puppy that it can set off Xiaohe's bad mood when writing about the puppy leaving Xiaohe. Dogs may not have human feelings, but they are vividly written by the little author.

Raising Turtles is also a good composition full of childlike interest. The article wrote several little turtles, all of which are very distinctive. The little author scalded a little turtle because of ignorance, cured an injured little turtle because of his heart, and saved the lives of two little turtles because of his kindness. In "Turtle Breeding", the little author is sometimes sad, sometimes guilty, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, and sends his feelings to the text, with childlike innocence and respectable love.

Third, speak in an orderly way. Describing animals, like observing animals, should have an order, from top to bottom, from front to back, from outside to inside, or from main to secondary, from shallow to deep, from outside to inside; Or from concrete to abstract, from cause to result, from special to general. The handwriting should be clear.

For example, in the article "I Raise Frogs", it was written at the beginning that the little author raised three frogs, and then it was written that attention should be paid to observing their living habits in the process of raising frogs. Finally, it was written that frogs were beneficial insects, and "I" finally released frogs. From raising frogs-observing frogs-releasing frogs, the order is very clear and detailed. At the beginning, the author wrote only one sentence about raising frogs, and in the middle, he wrote five natural paragraphs about observing frogs, describing the observation process in detail. At the end of the article, he also wrote succinctly, in detail and reasonably.

Another example is "The Bird Club", which was written by the author's own experience in the summer vacation. The article revolves around the word "magic". First, write it in "Phoenix Mountain". If you don't see the birds, you should hear them first. Then, it is a bird's grand meeting. Birds descend around the fire. Uncle Liu drills his sleeves and scatters rice to catch birds. The plot is ups and downs, the writing is tortuous, and the description is very vivid. Readers seem to be in this magical world, enjoying this strange scene with the little author.

Finally, the language should be accurate and vivid.

Accurate, realistic, vivid and attractive. Sun Minghua, a junior three student, wrote an article "Xiaohua Mall Looking in the Mirror". Because the author has rich vocabulary and strong ability to use words, he can choose accurate and appropriate words to describe Xiaohua Mall's demeanor and movements. He used "holding his head up", "standing with two small ears", "hunching over", "grinning" and "front paws" to describe the cat's demeanor. To write about the cat's "look", we use "look", "stare" and "look at flies" to write about the cat's jump and run, and we use "jump", "hoof" and "run", all of which are measured. In Xiaohua Mall written by Peng Ying, when Xiaohua Mall saw a mouse sticking its head out of a hole in the ground, Xiaohua Mall's manner was that his limbs were "low in front and high in back", "his back was bent like a number", his beard was "pricked up" and his mouth was grinning, revealing two rows of teeth like nails ".He" jumped on the mouse as quickly as possible and grasped its neck tightly with sharp claws ... "

The use of rhetorical devices such as metaphor and personification can make the image of the article concrete and vivid? For example, Pei Haisheng's "Grandpa's Birds" brought us into a bird paradise, allowing us to listen to the rich chorus, multiple movements, high-pitched and passionate main songs and euphemistic melodies, giving people an immersive feeling. This artistic effect is inseparable from the vivid and rich rhetorical devices mastered by this young author. The article also quoted poems such as "Two yellow birds sing green willows" and "See the reeds nodding, see the ground floor" to create a charming artistic conception. However, young writers used anthropomorphic writing methods for oriole, such as "melancholy", "laughing through tears" and "laughing like a silver bell".
