Chen Qian of Central South University was deeply impressed by a writing experience in middle school: "There was a Chinese exam in our class. After the exam, the teacher copied the excellent composition with a score of more than 49 and sent it to us. As a result, everyone used similar examples. Among the six compositions, Li Bai was praised four times, Qu Yuan was praised three times, Yue Fei was praised three times and Qin Gui was criticized twice. " Chen Qian said that no matter what the composition is, it adopts the same pattern, follows the standard of leading pig belly and phoenix tail, explains the general argument at the beginning, then lists three sub-arguments with three examples, and finally sublimates the theme with famous sayings.
In fact, in the examination room, this phenomenon of composition plagiarism is very serious. A Chinese teacher said that if you carefully look at the excellent compositions from all over the country over the years, many of them are surprising "deja vu". Nowadays, students who take part in the college entrance examination take reciting a large number of materials as a composition method, and "applying" has become a common phenomenon in the structural composition of the college entrance examination. Many candidates have similarities in composition structure, writing ideas and language expression, and even have many imitations. This is the case in all provinces of the country.
Writing about a fictional mother's death is contagious.
Interplay is not only popular, but also false expressions such as distorted personality and lost values appear in the exam composition. It is reported that candidates often fabricate stories of suffering in narratives, trying to make their articles sadder and more infectious. They will make up stories about the death of their mother or family members, or describe their disabilities. Not long ago, educational experts analyzed the Chinese test papers of senior high school entrance examinations in cities and states in our province and found that the composition was generally "false, big and empty".
In the composition, many people can't accept the examinee's fictional mother's death. "I think there are some deviations in the human nature of such people. Although it is understandable to say that the composition is fictional, it is not good for you to say that your mother died of illness. " Yan Li of Hunan Institute of Mass Communication said.
"It's really disappointing. Although it is not entirely the fault of the child, it is really chilling for parents to work hard to raise their children. " Ms He, who lives in Gao Qiao, has two daughters. Her sister is in Grade Two this year, and her sister will be promoted to junior high school next year. She admits that she doesn't want her children to write such articles for high marks.
Why do students make up such a seemingly unreasonable article that their mother died of illness? Yu Jun, a senior three Chinese teacher at Changjun Middle School, said that because students usually accumulate some materials or read similar touching articles from composition selections, it is easy to apply and imitate them. "Because of the short exam time, many students are very nervous. Generally speaking, it is difficult to show your true feelings. It takes mood and time to write a good article. Obviously, the examination room conditions are not available. " Teacher Yu said.
Expert analysis
Whose fault is it that writing is patterned?
What causes middle school students' writing to fall into a pattern? Su Shengkui, a native of Yongzhou, Hunan Province, is currently a researcher at Hainan Education Research and Training Institute. He believes that the direct root of the prevalence of intercropping is the green light for marking the college entrance examination. "Although there are propositional reasons, I think the direct and most important reason is the marking of the college entrance examination, which is another baton of the college entrance examination. Many sets of articles are full and even impeccable in content, rigorous in structure and quite well expressed. Most of our marking teachers can't bear to be too harsh on such articles. They read these articles with thousands of people every year, giving them more than 50 points and a minimum of 42 points every year. This connivance and accommodation has benefited too many candidates. This silent demonstration adds a strong impetus to the normal composition teaching. Everyone has contributed and is very lively. " Su Shengkui thought-provoking, saying that if we say "no" to this kind of article in the marking field, the copywriter will lose the market in the face of high-stakes college entrance examination scores. How can it become an ethos and a disaster in teaching?
"In fact, we shouldn't put' fake, big and empty' hats on them." Yan Zhen, a professor at the School of Literature of Central South University, said that children's lives are very monotonous now. It is good to be able to describe the events clearly and have a complete structure and have a little understanding of life. It is impossible for everyone to be creative in writing, and patterning is an inevitable phenomenon. There are only a few examples that really write articles with personality. We should encourage individualization and tolerate patterning. Moreover, the patterning of propositions also leads to the patterning of articles.
