中考英语作文写作指导【合集20篇】

幸福——一个多么温馨的名字，人人都渴望得到它有的人倾其一生去找寻，有的人倾其所有去交换，有的人总是羡慕别人的幸福而抱怨自己没有幸福难道幸福对我们来说就真的那么可望而不可及吗？其实不然，只要我们仔细留心一下被我们认为是幸福的幸福，便可以发现那些在别人眼里幸福的人并非是那些最有钱的、最有势的、最有名的，而他们所经历的幸福也并非都是久别又重逢的激动或是大旱逢甘霖般的喜悦，只是家人的一次团聚、朋友的一次祝福，仅此而已可见真正的幸福时刻都在我们的身边，要用心去感受

其实，幸福是一个抽象的概念，又是一种具体的感受：它可能是冬日里父母为你端上的那一杯牛奶，也可能是考试失利时老师向你投来的那一束鼓励的目光；它可能是睡熟后你嘴角的那一抹微笑，也可能是收获时农民脸上的那滴滴汗水

幸福很高贵，却又很平凡：《红楼梦》中的贾宝玉，生活在钱堆里，吃山珍海味，穿绫罗绸缎，可他并不幸福；马克思的夫人燕妮，走出富裕的家庭和马克思过着极端贫困的生活，但她自豪地说：“那是我一生中最幸福的日子！”可见，幸福虽然无处不在，却又不是人人能够享受得到的。

审题列纲：

思路一：

满足别人最需要的，往往是一次最好的机遇，寻找到这种需要，然后去完美的满足他们，这样，你离幸福也就不远了“使他人幸福的人是世界上最幸福的人”如果说，为自己创造的幸福是平面的，那么为他人创造的幸福就是立体的平面不包含立体，但是立体中一定包含着平面，有了立体的，就有平面的两者在包含和被包含的过程中便体现出了人生的意义和价值所在

思路二：

破土而出方显小草的生机，奋力翱翔方显雄鹰的高傲，灿烂的绽放方显花儿的魅力，珍惜幸福方显人生的可贵幸福有梯形的切面，它可以扩大也可以缩小，就看你是否珍惜幸福的时候，我们要对自己说请记住这一刻！幸福就会长久地伴随我们

思路三：

幸福并不与财富、地位、声望、婚姻同步，它只是你心灵的感觉所以，当我们一无所有的时候，我们也能够说：我很幸福，因为我们还有健康的身体当我们不再享有健康的时候，那些最勇敢的人可以依然微笑着说：我很幸福，因为我还有一颗健康的心甚至当我们连心都不再存在的时候，那些人类最优秀的分子仍旧可以对宇宙大声说：我很幸福因为我曾经生活过

思路四：

生命是一种奉献和付出，幸福也只能在奉献和付出中才能找到，别人的笑脸也才能像花儿一样在你身边簇拥着绽放有的人为什么感受不到幸福？也许是因为对他人的期望值太高了，我们应该明白：作为一只蜡烛，其幸福在点燃自己照亮别人的时候；作为一名教师，其幸福在将学生渡到知识彼岸的时候；作为一名医生，其幸福在挽救病人的生命，减轻他们的病痛的时候……

思路五：

梦想是人生的干粮它时时刻刻喂养着我们的内心，滋养着我们的精神因为有了梦想，大山才有了无怨无悔的沉默，小溪才有了一路跋涉的欢歌，野百合才有了拥抱春天的激情因为拥有梦想，我们内心充满阳光；因为拥有梦想，我们的精神始终乐观向上；因为拥有梦想，我们的生命有了幸福的体验

思路六：

幸福是一种心灵的震颤它像会倾听音乐的耳朵一样，需要不断的训练享受幸福是需要学习的，当幸福即将来临的时刻需要提醒人可以自然而然地学会感官的享乐，却无法天生地掌握幸福的韵律收集自己的幸福的点滴，你会发现原来自己生活在幸福的海洋里呢！

思路七：

别爱得太近，是爱的艺术不管是爱情之爱，还是亲情、友情之爱，都是如此每一个人都应有自己的心灵空间，有自由飞翔的天地如太拥挤势必会碰撞，彼此的那份爱就会在碰撞中凋零留有空隙，就能产生吸引，产生悬念，产生欣赏，人生将因他们的存在而幸福

思路八：

天空不只有蔚蓝，云朵不只是白色；草木不只有碧绿，花儿不会永远绽开从呀呀学语到“夕阳西下”，有几人会是一帆风顺？换一种眼光看待生活的坎坷与痛苦，也许你会发现，吃苦也是人生道路上的一种幸福！

[以“幸福”为话题的作文写作指导

【论文摘要】在高考英语试题中，写作是有效提高学生整体成绩的重要手段，写作是目的也是为了测试学生直接运用英语表达的能力而设置的，因此通常都会放在试卷的最后面作为压轴题出现。在高考英语写作要求中，明确提出要让考生运用所学知识进行书写，能组词成句、组句成文，语句符合英语语法和习惯。在写出的书面材料中，要求达到：切中题意，文理通顺，语言准确，得当。那么，怎样才能在高考英语写作中出类拔萃呢？这正是本文要探讨的内容。

一、有的放矢，了解高考英语写作要点

要对高考英语写作的题型及内容有所了解，才能把握好高考英语写作的考点，在此基础上才能找到行之有效的对策及方法。纵观近几年各省高考英语试题中，写作测试的命题思路，有一种从指导性写作逐步向半开放式写作过渡的趋势。半开放式写作，具体地说，就是给考生们提供一定的材料(包括图、文或图文结合)然后要求学生根据材料来进行书面表达，这样的考题形式，既限制了考生随心所欲的思维，又给予考生适当的发挥空间。这种命题方式能较好地考查考生的语言组织能力、书面表达能力以及思维能力。而在文体方面，记叙文、议论文、应用文及书信为最常见的写作题材。因此，我们可以做一个形象的比喻，写文章就像工厂里制造一台机器那样，首先要确定机器由几部分组成，然后对这几部分分别细化，形成初步的设计图；再根据要求对初步的设计图进行完善、补充、修改，随之形成最终的设计图；然后我们再按照图纸的设计，使用我们所掌握的零件去制造出机器；同样的道理，学生写作时可参照以下模式：

1．理解话题：学生在动笔前必须对指定的话题进行反复细读，认真思考，理解其真正的含义，了解出题者的意图，这是进行写作的第一步；

2．明确文体，确定人称时态：这一阶段的判断中，主要强调近十年高考最常见的两种文体：(1)说明文：必须按照事物的原貌加以说明、介绍、解释，常采用一般现在时，被动语态也常使用；(2)记叙文：通常采用第一人称，描述本人的经历或耳闻目睹之事；或用第三人称讲述他人的事情，如果是过去的事情，要用过去时。

3．初拟提纲，再理解话题：明确文体的基础上，草拟写作提纲；提纲是文章的骨架，可以是一句活，也可以是一个词组，由于考试时间所限，提纲内容不必面面俱到，但必须体现文章的整体结构和思路；目前绝大部分高中学生在英语写作时，还习惯于使用母语进行构思，然后将构思好的中文内容翻译成英文，这种情况是正常的；关键在于翻译过程中的语言表达必须符合英语语言的表达习惯

4．开始写作：提纲完成后，应根据提纲充实内容，如果说提纲是骨架的话，那么这时你必须将骨架填充血肉；具体的说就是要扩展要点，连词成句，适当地变换句型，组句谋篇成文；注意应简明扼要，层次分明、用词准确、语法概念清楚，使文章更具说服力，然后在写作完成后，还要对文章进行快速的检查，减少单词的拼写错误和句子表达的错误。

二、高考英语写作指导的具体策略

根据以上对历年高考英语写作试题的分析，我们可以从以下三个方面去指导学生进行写作：

1．细读材料，认真审题

仔细阅读书面表达题所给材料的全部内容，准确理解题目要求。需要认真审查的内容有：(1)文章的开头和结尾是否已给出；(2)用第几人称写作，书面表达要求中会明确指出使用第一人称还是第三人称；(3)提供的情景是图画、图表，还是提纲，如果是连环画，要注意故事情节的连贯性，确定合理的情节发展；(4)是否提供参考词汇，如果提供有参考词汇，写作中最好要用到；(5)采用什么文体，如果是议论文，要有论点、论据和结论三部分。如果是应用文，要注意其格式。如果是记叙文，要抓住六个要素：时间、地点、人物、事件、事情起因、事情的发展与结果。

2．恰当选择词语和句式

认真审题后，就可以列提纲了，将重点单词、短语、句型写在提纲里，关于选词切忌使用生僻词语，要求做到用词准确、得体、达意。选择句式时，尽量使用多种句式，如强调句、倒装句、各种名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句和固定句型等，长句和短句视情况交错使用，这样可以提高文章的档次，使文章生辉。

选词大多是在一组同义词或近义词之间进行。例如，我们要表达“好”这个意思，一般来说，大家会马上想起“good”，因为口语中我们经常说agoodfriend、goodluck、agoodpicture等。但是，在不同的短语中，可以选择不同的英语单词使表达更加准确、生动、形象。

3．多背常识性语句，扩大知识面

语言是有规律的，不同体裁的书面表达都有其常识性语句。如果同学们平时有大量的语句积累，在写作时就能把积累的东西调动起来。这些常识性语句既可增加文章的连贯性、逻辑性和可读性，同时还能提供地道的表达方式。写人物介绍时，应着重写人物的姓名、性别、年龄、职业、身高、健康状况、业余爱好、工作态度、与人相处和社会评价等语句。例如：lipingisagoodteacher，whoisthirtyyearsold．heis175centimetrestallandheishealthy．等。

我们在写作文的时候，内容一定要详略适当，下面是小编整理的作文如何做到详略得当，欢迎阅读。

一、依据文题定详略。题目确定了写作的重点，而大多数同学的审题不认真导致重点不突出，重点即是要详写的地方。比如“我的学习乐趣”这个文题，重点是学习生活，其他的事情就不能详写，否则会偏离题目的要求。

二、依据文体定详略。记叙文要把记叙的部分详写，议论、抒情的部分略写，而议论文，就是议论的部分详写，而记叙抒情略写。

另外，以记事为主的文章，故事的情节应该详写，抒情与议论的内容则要略写;以写人为主的文章，人物的事迹与言行应当详写，而夹在其中的景物描写就不能喧宾夺主，应当略写。反之，写景状物的文章，对景物应当用墨如泼，抒情的文字则可简笔勾勒。

写人的文章，人物的思想品质、成就是写作的重点，人物的外貌、语言、行动、性格、思想品质等也要详写。主要人物要详写，次要人物要略写。如朱自清的《春》中关于春花、春雨、春草等景物的描写。为了把记叙文写得更好，常采用夹叙夹议的方法。但是，必须“叙”详而“议”略，处理得当，才能起到画龙点睛的作用。

三、依据结构定详略。文章的正文部分要详写。开头、结尾，过渡、照应部分要略写。如正文的事件经过要详细叙述。例如：写与好友的一次争执，争执具体过程要详细描写，而其他部分可以略写。

四、依据内容定详略。与中心有紧密关系或直接突出中心的事件、情节要详细写，其他部分略。

高考作文测试，要考查学生的观察思考能力、想象能力、逻辑思维能力等基本能力以及审题能力、选材能力、结构能力、语言表达能力等专门能力。要写好作文，必须靠平时长期的材料积累、能力培养与系统全面地写作训练。高三学生各科复习千头万绪，时间极为紧迫，作文的训练是很难系统全面的。课堂上老师讲授作文专题，也只能笼而统之，简单归纳概括，不可能做到全面而深入的。那么，考生该怎样写好高考作文呢？

下面我主要谈一谈考生高考应试时应如何临场发挥，怎样利用已有的知识与能力把面上的事情做好，竭自己所能，尽可能得到一个满意的分数。

第一，注意审题。我所教的几届毕业生，都要求他们做到，发下试卷，最先须看作文题。作文题越早阅读，构思作文的时间越长。这样，再棘手的作文题也会不怎么难于下笔了。作文题的材料与要求至少要看上三四遍，审题起码要花四五分钟。考生须逐字逐句反复阅读作文材料及要求，才能充分理解掌握其中词句所包含的信息与条件。这时不应过分讲求速度，切戒心浮气躁，以免片面、错误地理解材料中的要求或遗漏材料中重要信息。1990年全国高考作文题中乃两个小女孩关于玫瑰的完全对立的议论，要求就“第一小女孩的说法”，联系实际拟题作文。很多考生没看到这重要的一条要求而使文章走题，结果有的一个省九出现了上千份0分卷。现在高考作文试题开放性越来越大，走题的可能性小了，但仍不可避免出现因没注意其中暗含的要求而偏离作文话题的现象。近几年来的高考话题作文中，以“答案是丰富多彩的”（2000年）为话题，你就不能说“其实很多答案是唯一的”；以“诚信”（2001年），“心灵的选择”（2002年）为话题，你就必须注意里面所隐含的道德倾向，必须从正面去劝善，格调要求要高，切不可反弹琵琶，随意发挥。

第二，要注意作文话题与作文题的区别。有的给定了题目，那照题作文就是了，切不可随便改换题目。有的考生往往因粗心没看到给定的题目而自作主张写了一个题目，这种情况一定要避免。近几年来高考作文都是给定话题自拟题目的，“答案是丰富多彩的”（2000年），“诚信”（2001年），“心灵的选择”（2002年），“感情亲疏和对事物的认知”（2003年），这些话题范围广泛，若以此为题目，也未尝不可，但写起来肯定空泛、笼统，谈问题难以落到实处。若从一个较小的角度拟定一个较具体的题目就好写多了。

高考作文一般都文体不限，但这不是说可以非驴非马，随心所欲。考生应根据材料与要求，尽快定下自己喜欢的或拿手的题材，然后选定一个合适的题目。若是写议论文，题目最好旗帜鲜明地摆出观点。若是写叙述性、抒情性散文，题目最好尽可能做到新颖别致而妥贴。文章写完后，若觉得题目有问题，应仔细斟酌，改定一个合适的题目，切忌文不对题。

第三，定好体裁与题目后，就该考虑立意、选材与结构了。初步构思后，若觉得文思如涌，就立即写作文，如暂时感到棘手，难以下笔，就须放下作文，先做前面的基础题。若花费过多的时间去构思作文，肯定划不来。其实，做基础题时，脑中自觉不自觉地在构思着作文。这时，如果灵感一闪现，想到一两句妙语或一些好的材料，就马上记录在草稿纸上，正式写作时能用就用上。这样，作文程度好的学生等基础题差不多做完时作文也就构思好了。一般来说，不要等做完所有的基础题，只剩四五十分钟时才写作文。因为，如果作文题较难，时间又紧，作文基础较差的学生往往手忙脚乱，不能把文章写完整，最后不得不草草收场，那样，肯定得不到一个好的分数。最好的做法是在容易的基础题基本做完时，放下那些棘手的难题，在充裕的时间内有条不紊地完成作文，然后再去做那些难题。这样，你的作文水平才能得到充分的发挥，你才会得到一个较好的作文分数。

第四，高考作文批阅时间有限，作文应力戒晦涩难懂，也不能太单调平淡。选定恰当的题目后，开篇应尽快入题。议论文应开门见山，直接摆出观点、看法，结尾时须注意照应前文，收束要自然有力。叙述性、抒情性文章要讲究文采，开头要能引人注目，结尾要留有余味。我总要求学生，中间可以不打草稿，但开头、结尾一定要打好草稿，仔细斟酌、反复修改后再誊写。作文字数一定要严格按照要求切实做到。书写尽可能做到清晰可辨，卷面力求整洁，应给人以严谨、认真作文的好印象。我常跟学生说，你即使不能取悦阅卷者而得高分，也必须做到不使其生厌而寻找扣分的理由。认认真真写作，既是对自己的负责，也是对阅卷者的尊重，我们都该给予阅读我们作品的每一个人以应有的尊重。

正值炎夏 正值盛暑 盛夏时节 盛夏之季 盛夏之日

盛夏季节 酷暑季节 酷暑盛夏 盛暑炎夏 溽暑酷夏

溽暑盛夏 炎炎盛夏 五黄六月 时值六月 正值三伏

热在三伏 盛夏三伏 三伏暑天 三伏盛暑 大暑酷去

伏梢末尽 已是夏末 多雨季节 阴雨季节 夏收季节

春种夏收 夏收夏种 夏收大忙 夏阳酷暑 六月炎暑

夏日炎炎 夏日可畏 太阳毒辣 太阳毒热 烈日中天

夏树苍翠 夏水汤汤 暑月蝉鸣

七月，透蓝的天空，悬着火球似的太阳，云彩好似被太阳烧化了，也消失得无影无踪。

春天随着落花走了，夏天披着一身的绿叶儿在暖风里蹦跳着走来了。

初夏的阳光从密密层层的枝叶间透射下来，地上印满铜钱大小的粼粼光斑。

风儿带着微微的暖意吹着，时时送来布谷鸟的叫声，它在告诉我们：春已归去。

青草、芦苇和红的、白的、紫的野花，被高悬在天空的一轮火热的太阳蒸晒着，空气里充满了甜

醉的气息。

初夏时节，各色野花都开了，红的、紫的、粉的、黄的，像绣在一块绿色大地毯上的灿烂斑点；

成群的蜜蜂在花从中忙碌着，吸着花蕊，辛勤地飞来飞去。

盛夏，天热得连蜻蜓都只敢贴着树荫处飞，好像怕阳光伤了自己的翅膀。

空中没有一片云，没有一点风，头顶上一轮烈日，所有的树木都没精打采地、懒洋洋地站在那里。

七月盛夏，瓦蓝瓦蓝的天空没有一丝云彩，火热的太阳炙烤着大地，河里的水烫手，地里的土冒烟。

烈日当空，道路两旁，成熟的谷物在热得弯下腰，低着头。蚱蜢多得像草叶，再小麦和黑麦地里，

有好的攻略才能写出好的文章，小编收集了2017年中考作文加分指导，欢迎阅读。

写人，免不了要描写人的动作，因为一个人的思想、品质、性格和作风，往往能通过行为动作来表现。如同学们学过的《金色的鱼钩》一课中，有这样一段描写老红军的话：“他坐在那里捧着搪瓷碗，嚼着几根草根和我们吃剩的鱼骨头，嚼了一会儿，就皱着眉头硬咽下去。”

这段话描写了红军老班长连续五个动作。用“坐、捧、嚼、皱、咽”五个准确的动词，写出了老班长在二万五千里长征途中，为照料小战友、日夜操劳、精神疲乏的神态。“捧”字，突出了老班长对那几根草根和“我们”吃剩的鱼骨头的珍惜：“嚼”、“皱”、“咽”三个动词，写出了草根和鱼骨头难以咽下以及老班长饥饿的程度。通过这些动作的描写，表现了红军老班长在艰苦的条件下，顽强抗争的坚毅性格和舍己为人的崇高品质。

怎样描写人物的动作?

(一)描写人物动作，最重要的是注意观察。在日常生活中要格外留心，观察周围各种人形形色色的行为动作，特别要注意不同的人的动作特征，抓住特征仔细地反复地进行观察。

如下面例段：

1、小丽抿着嘴，弓着腰，蹑手蹑脚地，一步一步慢慢地靠近它。靠近了，靠近了，又见她悄悄地将右手伸向蝴蝶，张开的两个手指一合，夹住了粉蝶的翅膀。小丽高兴得又蹦又跳。

2、他弯着腰，篮球在他的手下前后左右不停地拍着，两眼溜溜地转动，寻找“突围”的机会。突然他加快了步伐，一会左拐，一会右拐，冲过了两层防线，来到篮下，一个虎跳，转身投篮，篮球在空中划了一条漂亮的弧线后，不偏不倚地落在筐内。

捉蝴蝶、打篮球，都是我们常见的活动，有的甚至是同学们亲自参加过的。但写起来却不具体。上述两段描写，由于作者观察仔细，把捉蝴蝶，打篮球的动作、神态写得栩栩如生。

(二)是要抓住最能突出人物性格、身份特点的动作描写。

请看下列例段：

1、他50多岁了。戴着一副高度近视眼镜。他战战兢兢取下眼镜，用衣服的下摆随手擦了擦镜片。“嗯嗯……”他刚要讲话，忽然想起了什么，手忙脚乱地在盘子里找了找，又匆匆往口袋里掏了掏，掏出了一盒火柴，这才放心地又“嗯嗯”两声，站直身子，用特别响亮的声音说：“现在开始看老师做实验!”

2、教室里打得乌烟瘴气。毛老师气咻咻地站在门口，他头上冒着热气，鼻子尖上缀着几颗亮晶晶的汗珠，眉毛怒气冲冲地向上挑着，嘴却向下咧着。看见我们，惊愕地眨了眨眼睛，脸上的肌肉一下子僵住了，纹丝不动，就像电影中的“定格”。我们几个也都像木头一样，钉在那里了。

3、老人的双手很灵巧。一个泥人在他手里诞生，只要几分钟。看他又拿起一团泥，先捏成圆形，再用手轻轻揉搓，使它变得柔软起来，光滑起来。接着，又在上面揉搓，渐渐分出了人的头、身和腿。他左手托住这个泥人，右手在头上面摆弄着，不一会儿，泥人戴上了一顶偏偏的帽子。

上述三段都抓住了最能突出人物特点的动作。

例一写的是一位高度近视的老教师。通过“用衣服的下摆擦镜片”、“手忙脚乱地在盘子里找”、“匆匆地往口袋里掏”等动作的描写，写出了一个高度近视、动作不利索且有点“糊涂”的老教师的特点;例二，主要抓住性格暴躁的人生气时，面部表情动作的特点来描写的。如：“气咻咻地站在门口”、“头上冒着热气”、“眉毛怒气冲冲向上挑”、“嘴向下咧着”、“肌肉纹丝不动”等，把生气时的面部表情写得生动而逼真。例三则是抓住捏泥人的动作特点，写出了一位心灵手巧的老艺人形象。

下面的材料旨在丰富学生在是非问题写作方面的思想和语言，考生在复习时可以先分类阅读这些篇章，然后尝试写相关方面的作文题。

对于素材中用黑体字的部分，特别建议你熟读，背诵，因为它们在语言和观点上都值得吸收。学习语言的人应该明白，表达能力和思想深度都靠日积月累，潜移默化。从某种意义上说，提高英语写作能力无捷径可走，你必须大段背诵英语文章才能逐渐形成语感和用英语进行表达的能力。这一关，没有任何人能代替你过。

因此，建议你下点苦功夫，把背单词的精神拿出来背诵文章。何况，并不是要求你背了之后永远牢记在心：你可以这个星期背，下个星期忘。这没有关系，相信你的大脑具有神奇的能力。背了工具箱里的文章后，你会惊讶的发现：I can think in English now！

1.?????? Proverbs

1. A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that individuality is the key to success.

2. The primary purpose of a liberal education is to make one’s mind a pleasant place in which to spend one’s time.

3. Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.

4. The classroom--not the trench--is the frontier of freedom now and forevermore.

5. Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

6. It is the purpose of education to help us become autonomous, creative, inquiring people who have the will and intelligence to create our own destiny.

7. You see, real ongoing, lifelong education doesn’t answer questions; it provokes them.

8. People will pay more to be entertained than educated.

9.the most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and to others. This is the basic architecture of a life; the rest is ornamentation and decoration of the structure.

10. The essence of our efforts to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each as equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different-to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind, and spirit he or she possesses.

11. A great teacher never strives to explain his vision-he simply invites you to stand beside him and see for yourself.

12. If you can read and don’, you are an illiterate by choice.

2. Damaging Research

A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.

3. Education and Citizenship

An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.

Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.

Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.

Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.

4. The Teacher’s Role

Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.

Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.

5. Education Philosophy

For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.

Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.

In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.

This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.

6. Student Life

To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.

Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.

Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)

What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.

Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.

7. Adult Education

After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”

So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.

8. Moral Relativism in American

Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.

Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.

In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”

Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.

In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”

The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.

The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.

At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.

The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.

But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.

There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.

9. Schools Should Teach Values

People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”

There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.

As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”

This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.

We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.

What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.

These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.

After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.

10. College Pressures

Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.

What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.

My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.

I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.

“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”

Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.

It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.

The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.

Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.

Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.

Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.

I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.

“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.

“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”

“Then why are you going?”

“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”

Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”

But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.

I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.

Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.

“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”

The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”

Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.

Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.

“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”

Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.

To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.

If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.

Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.

“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”

“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”

I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.

Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.

This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.

They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.

If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.

I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.

I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.

11. To Err Is Wrong

In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?

Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.

Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:

Right over 90% of the time = “A”

Right over 80% of the time = “B~”

Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.

From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.

Playing It Safe

With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.

I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.

Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.

Different Logic

From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.

Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.

Errors as Stepping Stones

Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.

The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.

Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.

Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.

[英语作文写作的需要背诵的部分

导语：屈原是中国最伟大的浪漫主义诗人之一，也是我国已知最早的著名诗人，世界文化名人。他创立了“楚辞”这种文体，也开创了“香草美人”的传统。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的中考作文素材，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

屈原所在的时期正是中国即将实现大一统的前夕，“横则秦帝，纵则楚王。”屈原因出身贵族，又明于治乱，娴于辞令，故而早年深受楚怀王的宠信，位为左徒、三闾大夫。他为实现楚国的统一大业，对内积极辅佐怀王变法图强，对外坚决主张联齐抗秦，使楚国一度出现了一个国富兵强、威震诸侯的局面。但是由于在内政外交上屈原与楚国腐朽贵族集团发生了尖锐的矛盾，由于上官大夫等人的嫉妒，屈原后来遭到群小的诬陷和楚怀王的疏远，最终被逐出郢都，到了汉北。顷襄王二十一年，秦将白起攻破郢都，几起几落的屈原悲愤难捱，遂自沉汨罗江，以身殉了自己的政治理想。屈原在20多年的流放生活中，始终关心着楚国的命运，陆续地写出了《离骚》、《天问》、《招魂》、《哀郢》等诗篇，表白了自己不愿与黑暗腐朽的势力同流合污的立场和决心。

高中课文《屈原列传》、《离骚》、《湘夫人》等，都说到屈原。

【原文再现】

屈平疾王听之不聪也，谗谄之蔽明也，邪曲之害公也，方正之不容也，故忧愁幽思而作《离骚》。“离骚”者，犹离忧也。夫天者，人之始也;父母者，人之本也。人穷则反本，故劳苦倦极，未尝不呼天也;疾痛惨怛，未尝不呼父母也。屈平正道直行，竭忠尽智，以事其君，谗人间之，可谓穷矣。信而见疑，忠而被谤，能无怨乎?屈平之作《离骚》，盖自怨生也。上称帝喾，下道齐桓，中述汤、武，以刺世事。明道德之广崇，治乱之条贯，靡不毕见。其文约，其辞微，其志洁，其行廉。其称文小而其指极大，举类迩而见义远。其志洁，故其称物芳;其行廉，故死而不容。自疏濯淖污泥之中，蝉蜕于浊秽，以浮游尘埃之外，不获世之滋垢，皭然泥而不滓者也。推此志也，虽与日月争光可也。

——摘自《屈原列传》

【素材评析】

在屈原的作品《涉江》一诗中他自己写到：“吾与重华游兮瑶之圃，登昆仑兮食玉英。与天地兮同寿，与日月兮齐光。”这是屈原受到奸臣谗陷，被楚王流放时，在愤激之下而写的。正如司马迁所说：“信而见疑，忠而被谤，能无怨乎?”所以作诗《离骚》泄愤。但是，屈原的高洁之处，在于他无论遭受什么样的打击与谄害，但他总是执着地坚持自己的操守，所以司马迁赞美到：“推此志也，虽与日月争光可也。”

【适用话题】

适用“肩膀”、“位置与价值”、“我想握住你的手”、“感情亲疏与对事物的认知”、“责任”、“理想”、“执着”等等。

now in the country areas, there are many children out of school. i think one of the reasons is that their families are too poor to afford their school. as a result, they have to stay at home to make money to keep their families.

another reason is that many parents think it useless for the girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. a third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school.

in my opinion all the children including the girls should have the chance to receive education. all the people should pay attention to the education of the children who will play a very important part in the future of our country.

发言稿要注意以下三点：

1、发言的地点

2、发言的对象

3、发言的内容。

请看例文：

在一次英语班会上，老师请同学们以“Proud of My School”为主题发言。请根据下面所给的提示写一篇发言稿。字数要求在80～100词之间。文中不得出现真实的人名、地名。

初中英语写作技巧书面表达，首先要抓住所给的提示，然后运用所学词汇、语法及句型，避繁就简，简明表达要讲的内容。小编整理了初中英语写作技巧，欢迎阅读。

一、充分准备。打好基础。

为了提高书面表达水平，平时应加强阅读，应背诵一些句型、段落甚至短文。只要读得多、背得多，就能出口成章，下笔成文。其实，用英文写信，记日记等都是学生力所能及且行之有效的练习写作的好方法。

二、仔细审题，明确要求。

对题目所提供的信息要认真分析，明确要求，做到心中有数。要对所提供的信息加以分析、整理，使之更加具体化、条理化，为开始动笔做好准备工作，还要搞清题目的要求，以便根据不同的题材、体裁，写出不同格式，风格各异的文章，此外，还要注意人称、时态、地点等信息，避免出错。

三、抓住重点。寻求思路。

根据题目所提供的信息，草拟提纲，寻求逻辑次序，确定如何下手，否则，语无伦次的文章将不会被人接受，也不可能得到高分。

四、遣词造句，表达规范。

用词要适当，不可逐句把提示汉译英，亦不可生拼硬凑，不要硬拿英语单词到中文句子里去对号，否则写出中文式英语，闹出笑话。一般来讲，写作时，应尽量选出你有把握的词，尽量使用短句(简单句)。如果有的单词不会写，有的思想不会用英语表达，你可以设法绕开，最好找一个同义词、同义句，或近义词、词组短语来代替。要正确使用关联词，如and，or，but，so，because，since等，以便行文自然流畅。

五、修改润色，锦上添花。

作文写完之后，应注意检查修改，修改时先从全局修改。首先要检查主题是否明确，表达方式是否恰当，接下来检查所写内容是否切题，该交待的内容是否交待了，最后检查所用时态、人称是否符合要求，最后是否一致。

写完后，还应仔细校阅1—2遍。校阅要逐词逐句进行，注意检查语法、拼写、标点、大小写等方面的错误。校阅是自检的最后一关，应严肃认真的进行，尽可能地消灭一切差错，增强文章的效果。

因此，要写好一篇作文，不仅需要具有丰富的思想内容，掌握扎实的词汇、语法及修辞等方面的语言基本功，而且还需要掌握因不同思维方式和文化背景而形成的英语特有的篇章机构模式 惟有这样才能进行最有效的书面交际活动。

18、以物喻人，含义深长

在一望无际的旷野上，一棵古老的树，虽然生命已到了最后一刻，但它仍然倔强的生长着。在它的身旁，一棵小树正在抽出嫩嫩的芽。老树的根枯了，它把生命的汁液输给了小树；老树的叶黄了，它把绿色的生命注入了小树。老树历经沧桑，走完了它艰难的历程。如今，小树刚刚抽枝吐叶，老树却离开了它……这正像外公离开了我，他来不及接受我对他的报答之情，就匆匆离开了我。——《琐忆》

19、解题铺陈，明示中心

责任，就是一个人分内应该做的事。军人，有保家卫国的责任；医生，有救死扶伤的责任；教师，有培养接班人的责任。工人、农民、职员、商人……人人都有自己的责任。在我们的社会里，各行各业都有许多尽职尽责的人，他们组成了一道道最美的风景——请允许我，从这道道美丽的风景画卷中撷取一幅动人的画面吧。

20、设置矛盾，引人入胜

“我就不信，你在这个班生活了两年多，对这个集体就会没有一点感情？……”这是今天早晨班主任陈老师对我说的话。我望着陈老师愤怒的目光，委屈的眼泪直在眼眶里打转，心理说：“陈老师，你误会了……我怎么能不爱我们的班级体呢？”

在语文教学中，我们常遇到学生不愿写作文或学生作文水平不高的情况，而教师在指导学生写作时也常感到棘手、烦恼，往往缺乏操作性较强的具体方法。本文谈论写作方法指导，欢迎阅读了解。

结合自身多年的作文教学经历来看，学困生的作文指导虽说是难一些，但并不是完全无药可医，只要教师遵循教学规律，掌握儿童的心理特征，因人而异地指导作文，学生通过努力定能写出优秀的作文。

一、学会审清题意

题目是文章的眼睛。审题正确，习作就能围绕主题展开，文不离题；相反，审题不认真，对题目的分析判断有错误，习作就容易跑题，正所谓“下笔千言，离题万里”。所以，审题是习作的第一关。教育家叶圣陶说：“写作前要多想，不要动笔就写。”这就强调了审题的地位。

二、练习扩展句子

很多学生写的文章通常太白，很多好词好句不会用，就要从扩写句子开始。如果学生在写作时，能把丰富而恰当的词语，运用各种扩句的方法，尽可能地把一句句的句子写具体、写生动，不但句子的面貌会有很大的改观，而且不会再愁作文写不长了。

比如说写一个人跑得快，光说快是不行的，要提示学生说明快的程度，怎么快的。学生很快就能想到像闪电一样、像风一样这样的句子，也可以说他跑一百米用了多长时间来说明他快。这样一写，句子明显不再干瘪了。

三、写好生活日记

1.可以减少学生写错字的机会。

在识字方法中，有一种叫做“重现法”，就是说生字是“一回生，二回熟，三回就成了朋友”，这也适用于写日记。学生写日记要运用文字，这些文字可以是熟悉的字，也可以是一些刚刚学过的生字。学生通过运用，熟悉了这些字，从而也减少了学困生在写作文时错别字太多的现象。

2.教师可以通过看日记了解学生情况、班级情况。

教师可以通过看学生的日记，更进一步地了解学生。如，在日记中，我看到了我班学生冯小锋的一篇日记。他写道：“我要改变自己，因为今天我上数学课的时候，我睡着了，老师提问我，还不知道。老师就问我做了什么美梦，同学们都笑了起来。下课了，赵威同学还跑过来问我，梦见了什么？我真的很生气，大家都笑我，我以后一定要改变了，我上课不能再睡觉了。”针对这一事件，我在他的日记本上回复：“知错能改，就是好孩子。”这样，学生在日记中得到了思想教育，端正了学习态度。

3.写日记其实就是一次次作文小练笔。

考试作为检验学生能力的一种手段，不可能一下子就消失。而中高年级的试题中，作文是占了很大的分值的。一些教师在期末总复习时，总是煞费苦心地去猜作文题，甚至让学生死记硬背某一命题作文，如果蒙得对，那就皆大欢喜，如果不对，结果可想而知。其实，作文能力不是靠背就能提高的。现在作文试题，经常会变换说法，但在原来的作文基础上稍稍改变就可以。这改变的能力，便是在平时积累中形成的。

四、精批改显成效

1.批改作文要及时。

一篇作文批改时间过长的话，学生作文的新鲜劲早就过去了，早忘了当初是怎么写的了，对教师的批语也就不那么在意了，作文本发下来后一翻了之。普通学生尚且如此，学困生就更不用谈了，因此作文批改要及时。第一时间批改学生的作文可以让他们作文中的许多错误得到及时的更正；第一时间批改学困生的作文，可以让学困生有更多的时间去修改作文，修改后的作文能达到全班平均水平。

2.批改作文要多鼓励、多表扬。

教师的鼓励、表扬如同学生的写作中的两根拐杖，扶持着学生走得更稳更快，学生写作文更需要教师的鼓励与表扬。对于学困生那些文理上一无是处的作文，教师要多一点包容，宽容地看待，可以写下这样一些鼓励、表扬的批语：“格式正确，你已经学会了作文的第一步，希望你继续努力！”“规范的书写使你的作文好看了很多，相信以后你的作文会和你的字一样好看！”“你按时完成了这次的作文，老师为你高兴！”学生看到这些表扬、鼓励的批语后会感受到写作文的愉悦，为求再次得到教师的表扬，他们会认真去写下一次的作文，教师的鼓励与表扬就成为学生学习的动力。

3.“面批”学困生的作文。

小学生作文以学写记叙文为主，语句通顺是最基本的要求，而学困生作文最突出的问题是语句不通顺，做到面批面改是个好办法。教师要耐心地和学生一起，把作文从头到尾一句句读下来，借助学生平时已有的听说能力，引导他们分析句子是否完整，表达是否清楚明白，指导学生把文章改通顺，然后让学生读一读修改过的文章，看看与修改前的文章有什么不同，从而认识到怎样叫语句通顺，怎样才能把句子写通顺，这样面批面改几次，学困生的作文就能大有起色，以后逐步要求个人先修改，然后再同教师一起修改。这样坚持半年，学困生的作文就能基本上做到语句通顺。“面批”来得更直接，能很好地向学生传授作文技法，能最大限度地提升学生的作文水平，同时使学生感到荣幸，受到重视，感受到教师认真负责的工作态度，引起学生情感上的共鸣进而产生写好作文的动机。作文的批改是由教师的“批”和学生的“改”共同完成的教学活动，教师在“面批”时传授学困生方法，把修改的主动权还给学生，学困生的作文能力就会在这样的“批”与“改”中得到提高。

教师一句鼓励的话语，一个表扬的眼神，一次真情的交流，比作文前苦口婆心的说教，作文后声色俱厉的批语更能端正学生的作文态度，引导学生在写作路途上稳步前进。学生的进步，是我们最大的心愿，让我们多思考，多实践，多总结，使学生不再畏惧作文，使每一位学生都爱上写作，爱上语文。

下面是小编为大家收集整理的记叙文写作指导的内容，欢迎大家阅读参考!

怎样记叙好一件简单的事呢?

1、要交代清楚事情发生的地点、时间;要把事情的经过、因果写明白。一件事，总离不开时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果等六个方面的内容，因此，只有把这些方面写清楚了，才能使别人明白你写了一件什么事。

然而，交代这六个方面内容不应该呆板，要根据文章的需要灵活掌握。时间、地点也并不是非要直接点明不可的，有时候可以通过描述自然景物的特征及其变化，将它们间接表示出来。如“鸡喔喔叫了起来”，就是指天将亮了;“西边的太阳就要落山了”，指的是傍晚，等等。

2、要把事情经过写具体，并做到重点突出。在记叙文六个方面的内容中，起因、经过和结果，是构成事情最主要的环节。为了把事情写得清楚、明白，在记叙中一定要写好事情的起因、经过和结果，特别要把事情的经过写具体，给人留下完整而深刻的印象。

3、记叙的条理要清晰。一件事都有发生、发展和结果的过程，按照事情发展的顺序记叙，文章的条理就会清楚明白。

确定记叙的顺序以后，还要安排好段落层次。适当地分段，可以使文章眉目清楚。要做到记叙的条理分明，必须在动笔之前，仔细地想一想，文章应该先写什么，再写什么，然后写什么，把记叙的轮廓整理出来。写记叙文，必须考虑哪些先写，哪些后写，安排好记叙的顺序，否则就会头绪杂乱，条理不清。

怎样安排记叙顺序才能使文章条理清楚呢?

1、运用顺叙。

顺叙，是按照事物发生、发展的先后次序进行叙述。这样写，可以将事物的发展过程，有头有尾地叙述出来，来龙去脉，十分清楚。运用顺叙写成的文章，它的层次、段落和事物发生、发展的过程是基本一致的。

顺叙有以时间为顺序的，有以事物发展规律为顺序的，也有以空间变换为顺序的。在叙事性的文章中，大多是以时间为顺序和以事物发展规律为顺序的。

按时间顺序进行叙述时，必须严格地安排好顺序，写清楚叙述的时间。现实生活中任何事情都不会突然发生，它总有一个发生、发展的过程。因此，作者常常要根据事情发生、发展、高潮、结局这一事情发展的规律来进行叙述，文章的层次也是清楚、明了的。

当然，有的文章事情比较简单，因而不一定非要写出事情过程的四个层次(发生、发展、高潮、结局)。

2、运用倒叙。

倒叙，就是把事件的结局或某个最突出的片断提在前面叙述，然后再从事件的开头进行叙述。

需要指出的是，运用倒叙的写法，必须注意交代清楚倒叙的起讫点，顺叙和倒叙的转换处要有明显的界限、必要的文字过渡。这些地方处理不好，会使文章脉络不清，头绪不明，影响内容的表达。

3、运用插叙。

插叙是指在叙述中心事件的过程中，由于某种需要暂时中断叙述的线索而插入的关于另一件事情的叙述。

需要指出的是，在运用插叙时不能打乱原来的叙述线索，要注意与上下文的衔接。这样，文章的结构不仅富有变化，而且叙述事情的条理非常清楚。

有些同学看见别的同学写出一些好文章来，便惊叹道：“这些内容，我也熟悉的，怎么我没能把它们写出来!”这个问题值得深思，说穿了，那是因为你缺乏从小事中写出深意的能力。生活中，惊天动地的事情是少见的，一般人所经历的大多是平凡的、细小的事情。自古以来，好文章数也数不尽，大多写的也是平凡的、细小的事。《红楼梦》写的是封建社会大官僚仕宦家族中的生活琐事，这些生活琐事在那样的门第中可以说是平常又平常的了，但它反映的思想意义却是深刻的，成为举世公认的巨著。

怎样从小事中写出深意呢?

1、提高思想水平，训练一副见微知著的好眼力。

照相机能摄像，人的双眼也能摄像。然而人和照相机毕竟不同，双眼是带着感情去选镜头的。观察的人本身要有一定的思想水平，只有这样，才可能看到事情的里层，发现其中蕴含的深意。

2、深入思考、分析、挖掘、寻找出事情所蕴含的深意。

在日常生活中，要做到凡事多加留意，尽可能深入地去想一想，不只注意到它的表象，还要去挖掘它的本质，弄清它的来龙去脉。这样，就能有敏感的头脑和锐利的好眼力，挖掘、寻找出事情中所蕴含的深意。

3、把事情放在一定的背景中去写。

背景就是时代环境，指的是社会变迁和政治动态等。一件小事，孤零零地看，是不起眼的，如果把它和事情发生的背景联系起来，那就不寻常了。

4、“事”与“意”的榫头要对得合适。

从小事中写出深意来，容易犯的毛病是“事”和“意”的榫头对得不准，往往是主观上(意)想“深”，客观上(事)显得内容单薄。因此，我们在具体写的时候，避免在提示事情所蕴含的意义时候犯任意“拔高”的毛病。

有一篇题目叫《节日的早晨》作文，叙的内容是一家人愉快地吃早点的情形，结尾是：吃完早点，我开了院门一看，只见人们穿着美丽的新衣服，三个一群五个一伙的，走向热闹的大街，走向光明的共产主义明天。

这段话的结尾处，犯有“拔高”文章思想意义的毛病。如果写好吃早点的情形，体现人民生活水平在共产党的领导下步步提高是可以的，可是将它和“走向光明的共产主义明天”联系在一起，那“事”和“意”的榫头就对得不合适了。

总之，我们只要提高自己的思想水平，对听到或看到的事深入地想一番，认识它的意义，鉴别它的价值，并把它放在特定的环境中去写，就能从小事中写出深意来。

不少同学的作文，不是写拾到皮夹子交公，就是写为抱小孩的妇女让座;不是写帮助同学补课，就是写送迷路的小孩回家……总之，尽是写一些人家写“烂”的材料。于是语文老师常常在他们的作文后面写上类似的评语：选材陈旧，希望今后选择新颖、独特的材料。

怎样才能选择到新颖、独特的材料呢?

1、从自己的生活中去找

不少同学看到作文题目，不是到自己的生活中去找材料，而是道听途说，或者是从概念出发去记叙、描写。记好人好事，总是写“拾皮夹”、“让座”、“为人补课”，不管此事自巳是否经历过，是否有感触。这样的内容，怎么会给人耳目一新的感觉呢?

其实，我们每个人居住的环境不同，兴趣爱好不同，经历的事情必然不同。能把自己那些与众不同的经历作为选材的内容，那么，你所选择的材料一定是自己独有的，新鲜生动的。

2、做生活的有心人。

常听一些同学说，我们是学生，生活贫乏，看不出有什么新鲜、独特的事情值得记叙。同学们生活面不广是事实，要扩大作文选材的范围，就要求我们尽可能地广泛接触生活。那么是不是我们同学生活圈子小，就没有新鲜、独特的材料可以写呢?不是的。只要做生活的有心人，就会有独特的材料让你挑选。住在城里的人，恐怕都见过老年人跳迪斯科吧?可是有的同学熟视无睹，竟然让这样的材料从眼皮底下悄悄溜走了。

3、选择新角度，让常见的材料放出异彩。

一般来说，同学们的生活圈子小，家庭、教室、操场。接触的人少，家人、老师、同学。同学们在作文时，所叙述的事往往是常见的。常见的材料中就没有新鲜的东西吗?不是的。只要我们开动脑筋，对常见的材料改变一下叙述的角度，也会让它放出异彩。

4、打开思路，扩大视野。

有相当一部分同学，思路比较狭窄，他们的目光只注意好人好事，作文的材料老是不能扩大。如果我们同学把观察的目光投射到整个生活里，既看到那些好人好事，也看到那些坏人坏事，作文的材料一定会丰富多采起来。

法国巴黎艺术馆里，陈列了一座伟大的文学家巴尔扎克的雕像，奇怪的是：他的雕像却没有手。他的手呢?是被艺术家罗丹用斧头砍去了。罗丹为什么要砍掉巴尔扎克雕像的双手呢?原来，在一个深夜里，罗丹好不容易完成了巴尔扎克的雕像，非常满意，连夜叫醒了他的学生来欣赏雕像。他的学生把雕像反复地看了个够，后来，目光渐渐地集中在雕像的手上：巴尔扎克的那双手叠合起来，放在胸前，十分逼真。学生们不禁连声地说：“好极了，老师，我可从没见过这样一双奇妙的手啊!”罗丹的脸上笑容消失了。他突然走到工作室的一角，提起一把大斧，直奔雕像，砍掉了那双“完美的手”。

罗丹的雕像是要表现巴尔扎克的精神、气质，现在那双手(次要部分)突出了，人们看了雕像，只欣赏手的完美，而忽略了主要的内容。所以，罗丹砍掉了雕像的双手，以突出雕像所要表现的意义。

雕塑是这样，写作文也是这样，只有围绕中心安排详写和略写，叙事的重点才能突出。

在记叙的过程中，怎样妥当地安排详写和略写呢?

1、事情的发生和结果要略写，事情的发展过程要详写。事情的发生阶段，往往是交代时间、地点、人物，以及起因，事情的结果部分，往往是写出事情的结局或点明事情的中心。它们在整个事情中，或者说在整篇文章中，仅仅是枝节部分，所以要略写。事情的发展过程，是整个事情，或者整篇文章中的主体部分，它往往具体体现中心思想，因而要详写。

2、有点有面地叙事，“面”要略写，“点”要详写。有点有面地叙事，“面”上的内容往往是渲染气氛，交代背景，起烘托的作用。“点”上的内容往往是文章的重点。直接体现中心思想的，所以要详写。这里需要说明的一点是：在文章中，重点突出详写的部分时，不能忽视略写的部分。略写虽是寥寥几笔，但运用得好，可以对文章重点的突出、主题的表现，起到“绿叶映衬红花”的作用。

运用文中的说明方法，介绍自己熟悉的物品，写成一小段文字。

指导方法：

写说明文是为了向读者介绍科学知识，所以只按观察所得写出来是不行的。例如写《蜘蛛》，只把看到的蜘蛛网什么形状，蜘蛛吃了几次虫等现象照录来，读者不能获得真正的科学知识，只有对观察到的现象进行分析归纳，才能科学的向读者介绍蜘蛛怎样捕虫，怎样结网等知识。如果我们平时还能注意观察其它的动物，植物，那么在写作时就有挑选的余地了。

善于查阅资料，不少知识只靠直接观察还不行，还需要查阅资料，学习别人的科研成果。全世界的蜘蛛有多少种蜘蛛为什么会吐丝蛛丝的种类有多少性能有哪些等等。这些只靠直接的观察是无法解决的，查查有关书籍，资料就弄清楚了。那你在写作时也就可以比较全面地向读者做详细的介绍了。当然我们的作文内容也就丰富了。

1、做好审题。

2、做好立意。

3、做好思路的开拓。

4、动笔开始写作，注意语言的通顺，围绕某一事物，运用学过的说明手法，将文章内容写得形象生动起来。

以写人为主的记叙文主要是通过对人物外貌、语言、动作、心理活动的描写和典型事例的叙述来反映人物的思想、性格、品质、作风等特点。要写好写人为主的记叙文，下面是小编整理的写人作文的写作方法指导，希望对你有帮助！

(1)一、抓住人物的特点。

每个人都有自己的特点，这个特点可以从人物的年龄、外貌、语言、动作、兴趣、个性、生活习惯等诸方面去考虑。一个人的特点是多方面的，作文时，我们应根据中心思想有所选择地写。

二、选用典型事例。

人与事是分不开的。一个人做的事很多，在作文时我们应选择那些最能表现人物思想、性格和文章中心思想的典型事件。

三、运用细节描写。

细节描写就是对能充分表现文章中心思想的人物外貌，语言、动作、表情等细小环节作具体、细致的描写。

小学阶段以写人为主的记叙文，一般分为三种类型;写一个人、写两个人、写几个人。其中应以写一个人为主。

一、写一个人。

记一个人的写人记叙文，大致有以下三种情况：

(一)通过写一件事写一个人。有的文章写人只写了一件事，写这一类的作文要注意以下几点：

1、要选择有代表性的生动事例画写。反映一个人的精神面貌的事例是很多的，通过一件事写人就要选取最有代表性的生动事例来写。

2、要写出事情的发展过程，使人物的形象逐步完整。

3、要把事情写具体。用一个典型事例记叙一个人，应该把这一事例写具体，这样人物形象才能丰满。

4、为了使读者对人物了解得更全面，使重点记叙的这件事有充分的依据和坚实的思想基础，使人物的形象更加丰富，文章的开头可以对人物作简要的介绍。

(二)通过几件事写一个人。

我们在生活中会接触到各种各样的人，有时使用一件事来反映一个人就显得比较单簿，不足以充分反映人物的特点及其品质，因此，必须用两三件事才可能说的明白，再现得充分。

通过几件事写一个人，要注意以下几点：

1、几件事不能相互矛盾，，人物的性格在几件事中要和谐、统一。

2、概括交代和具体描写相结合。在一篇简短的作文中要用几件事写一个人，不可能将每一件事详细叙述，因此一般可以交代和具体描写相结合的方法。即先概括交代一些事例，再具体记叙一两件事。

3、通过对比的方法写一个人。

通过对比方法写一个人，一般有三种：第一种是同一个人前后相比，说明这个人变化;第二种是对一个人的认识前后相比，说明这个人的品质;第三种是一个人同另一个人比，突出歌颂其中一个人。

通过对比描写来突出人物形象，要注意几点：

运用对比描写，不应该勉强凑合，主要看作文的材料是否适合采用对比的写法。如果材料本身需要用对比的写法，那么作者才可以通过对比来写人，完成自己的写作意图。如果材料的本身不适合采用对比的手段，那么也不要人为的牵强附会，为对比而对比。两个人进行对比，不能割裂开来先写一个，后写一个，互不相干，而是围绕中心事件叙述，刻画两个人不同的思想性格。写人，如果从一个侧面去描写，人物形象往往单薄。如果从多个侧面去描写，人物形象就容易丰满。多侧面地描写人物形象，这个“侧面”的选择不是随心所欲的，而是从众多的材料中选择整理出各具代表性的若干侧面，分工而又合作地表现人物形象。通过多侧面描写来丰满人物形象，我们可以称它是“众星拱月”。“月”就是人物，“星”就是侧面，“拱”就是多侧面展示人物形象的过程。不过应该看到，“众星拱月”的“众星”也不是平分秋色的，它们之间也有主次、详略的区别。所以在写“众星”的时候，是没有必要平均使用力量的。

写好人物的形象

人物的形象，一般指人物的外貌、语言、动作、心理活动等。人物的外貌，就是人物的外形特征，包括容貌、衣着、姿态、神情等等。外貌描写首先必须从文章中心思想的需要出发，要求抓住人物的本质特征，有选择、有重点地描写。人物的语言包括人物的独白，对话，交谈以及语气。“言为心声”。人物的语言是人物内心世界的直接表现。因此成功的语言描写能恰当地表现人物的身份、年龄、思想、品质、作风和个性特点。描写人物语言时，要注意符合人物的身份，表现人物的思想感情，反映人物相互间的关系。描写人物的动作时，不仅要写出人物“做什么”，还要写出“怎么做”。心理活动是无声的语言，是直接表现人物精神面貌，思想活动的手段。描写人物的心理活动时，要注意把心理活动产生的原因叙述清楚，还要注意与外貌、动作、语言描写结合起来。外貌、语言、动作、心理活动写好了，人物的形象就突出、鲜明了。

详细分解：

a语言描写：在记叙文写作中，进行人物语言的描写是不可缺少的。进行人物语言的描写，不是随心所欲的，想怎样写就怎样写，而应该像鲁迅先生指出的那样：“人物语言的描写，能使读者由说话看出人来。”这就是说从人物语言的描写中看出人物的鲜明特点。那么，怎样才能达到这种境界呢?

一、人物语言的描写要符合人物的年龄、经历、身份、文化教养等特点。

二、人物语言的描写，力求反映人物的特征。成功的对话描写，不仅要符合人物的身份、年龄、职业等特点，而且也要能反映出人物的思想感情，表现人物的性格特征。

三、人物语言要力求简洁，避免有话必录和拖泥带水的现象。

四、具有鲜明个性的人物语言描写，并不是垂手可得，而要通过艰辛的努力才能获得。同学们为自己笔下的人物设计语言，更应该如此。

b、心理描写：是对人物内心活动的描写。深入描写人物的内心活动，是展示人物形象的重要手段。事出有因。任何心理活动的引起是有原因的，把心理活动的起因写清楚，对于展示人物形象是必不可少的。通过心理描写来展示人物形象，一定要把心理活动的过程展现出来。不然，人物的形象无论如何都会显得苍白无力。

心理活动的展现和其它事物的发展一样，都是有层次的。我们把人物心理活动的层次逐渐写出来，人物形象的展示也会越来越具体。写心理活动时，有一点要特别注意：用第一人称写人时，可以写“我”的心理活动，但不能写别人的心理活动。因为别人心里是怎样想的，“我”是无法知道的呀!

在现实生活中，不同人物之间的性格特征，或同一人物在不同环境下内在性格的变化，常常处在不协调的矛盾状态之中。为了显示人物性格的差异，写作文就必须通过对比加以表现，将他们面对相同的事物作出不同的反应抖落出来，从而突出人物的形象。

c、外貌描写：描写人物的外貌就是指对人物的容貌、身材、衣着和表情的描写，叫做外貌描写。我们有的同学一写到以记人为主的作文时，往往是作这样的描写：高高的个子，大大的眼睛，目光炯炯有神……好像天下的人都是一个模样。其实，世界上的人有千千万万，没有完全相同的外貌。关键的问题是没有根据表达的需要，去描写人物的外貌。

怎样根据表达的需要去描写人物的外貌呢?

第一、根据表达的需要，描写人物的外在特征。每个人物都有他(她)自己的特有外貌，总是在一定的程序上表现出内在状态。由于人们的出身、经历、素养、社会环境的影响，同时自己鲜明的个性，这些在他(她)的表情、姿态、服饰等方面都能流露出来。

第二、根据表达的需要，有重点地描写外貌。

有的同学他们不分主次，不根据中心思想的需要，面面俱到地进行描写。“眉毛胡子一把抓。”可是效果呢?罗里罗嗦，让人看半天也不会知道特征在哪里。

第三、根据表达的需要，安排好外貌描写的顺序。对于一个人的外貌，作者往往是从多方面进行的。这些方方面面，哪些先写，哪些后写，应该遵循一定的顺序。但是，有时为了表达的需要，或者观察角度的变化，外貌描写的顺序也会有变化。

总之，外貌描写要有利于文章的中心思想的表达，有利于人物内心世界的展示，只有这样，才可以说文章的外貌描写是成功的。

游记是对旅行进行记录的一种文体，现在也多指记录游览经历的文章，游记有带议论色彩的，有带科学色彩的，有带抒情色彩的。下面是小编整理的游记作文写作方法指导，欢迎阅读。

在节假日，小学生在父母和老的在节假日，小学生在父母和老师的带领下，到公园和游览区欣赏景物、陶冶性情。如果将游览时看到的景物，所听到的声音，所产生的联想，所获得的感受，按照一定的顺序，有重点、有感情地记录下来，就是一篇游记。写游记有如下一些要求。

(一)写游记必须写清游踪

要记住从什么地方到了什么地方，每个地方的名称，以及每个地方的方位。这样读者才能搞清楚你先到什么地方。后到什么地方，才能确定你所要描述的景物的具体位置以及它的特征，唤起读者对你所游览之处的神往之情。同时，也使文章福有条理，层次清晰。

(二)要留心观察

观察是写好游记的基础。游览时，不能走马观花，要仔细观察。所谓仔细观察，就是要看景物的形状、颜色、质地是怎样的，静态下什么样，动态下又是什么样，等等。只有这样，在写作时可选的材料才多，才便于把景物写具体、写出特点来。另外，在观察的时候，还要按一定的顺序，或由近及远，又远到近;或从上到下，从下到上;或从里到外，从外到里;或从中间到两边，从两边到中间;或从整体到局部，从局部到整体。按照这样顺序去观察，彩绘全面，描写时彩绘有条理。

(三)要做记录

学生游览的时候，看的东西多，去的地方也比较广，一时很难记住，就是当时记住了，过后也难免遗忘，不利于组织作文。为了避免这种情况，游览时要求学生带上笔和本，边观察、边记录，随看随记，就不会忘记了，写作文的时候还便于选择。另外，公园和修蓝区的有些景物带有介绍。

例如，辞经管是何时建造的，经历了哪些发展阶段，占地面积是多少，包含着怎样动人的故事和美丽的传说等等。这些资料很有可能成为学生作文时的宝贵材料，应该要学生记录下来。在游览之后，要求学生及时地把自己观察到的和记录的材料整理归类，看看哪些是属于作文需要的材料，哪些需要详写，哪些需要略写，做到心中有书，为下一步作文做好准备工作。可以要求学生按照下面的表格整理材料。

状物作文，是小学生作文训练中的一个重要项目。所谓状物，就是具体、形象地描写物体的特征、形态、色彩、质地等。这个物还应该包括动物、植物等类。由于不同的物有不同的特点，所以状物的方法也不一样。

[游记作文写作方法指导

怎样才能在阅卷老师的手中拿到高分呢，下面是小编整理的中考作文高分指导，欢迎阅读。

首先，要把字写好。

作文字体整洁美观，会给阅卷老师以赏心悦目之感。让他们在感情上认可你，得高分就难免了。曾有人设喻人的一生“100„„”其中“1”代表生命，后面的0代表事业、爱情等等，如果没有生命，其他一切为零。其实，文章也是这样，“1”代表字，后面的0代表文采、感情等等。字潦草得让人看不懂，文采、感情等则为“零”。

事实上，我们在中考阅卷中发现学生并不太重视字迹的清晰，有的把字写得撑破了格子，甚至某一“竖”某一“捺”踩到下面一行字的脑袋上;有的字小得如蚂蚁;更多的是自成一家的草书。字迹工整清晰的试卷达不到五分二。

那么怎样写好字呢?①把字写大一点，可以撑着格子写，让阅卷老师看得清楚。②力求用钢笔书写。钢笔书写有笔锋，有力度，美观新亮。墨水颜色深，老师看上去不吃劲。千万不要用那种极细极淡的圆珠笔书写。③坚持横平竖直的原则。这样即使单字不好看，但整体上是整齐的。当然，平时要选好字帖加强练字，使得考试时发挥出来。 其次，文章字数要足。

中考作文一般有“不少于600字”的要求限制，达不到要求，阅卷老师第一印象就不舒服，得分率自然降低。

那么怎样能达到字数的要求呢?

①适当增加描写成份。一般可以增加环境描写，人物的肖像描写、动作描写、语言描写、心理描写。这样不仅抻长了篇幅，而且还会增强文章的生动性和形象性。

②增加所叙事情的数量。写一件事感到文字数量不足时，就可以根据作文要求考虑写两件事或三件事。如果是议论文的话，可以适当增加论据，或从另一个角度深入一层地论述论点。

③增加对照的成分。任何事物都有其相对或相反的事物存在，将某些对照的事情添写进来，往往会使内容更充实、中心更突出。

④多分几段，增加篇幅。批阅一篇文章，一般说来，看字数总是不考虑每段后面的空格的。因此，在不影响意思的完整表达时，多分段不失为明智之举，例如，可将人物之间的对话用分段的方式来排布等。这样，多分段不仅可以弥补字数不足，还可以收到利于阅卷的奇妙效果，使阅卷老师很轻松地把握你文章的思想内容及结构。 再次、要善于捕捉写作灵感。

作文是在题目后灵感的结晶。并不是刻意怎么审题，选什么材料。而是随灵感的突现，水到渠成的结果。灵感常常呈跳跃性、短暂性和不稳定性。如果不及时捕捉，灵感就会消逝。再冥思苦想，短时间内难以记起。在考场这种特定的紧张氛围中，越急就越打不开思路。因此，当灵感出现时，我们应立即捕捉，可用极简单的字词或特别的符号将点滴灵感火速记下，然后针对捕捉的灵感进行联想选材，把显现在头脑中最能突出文章中心的材料迅速文字化、条理化，就能写出高质量的中考作文。 第四：写好文章的开头。

看人是否漂亮首先是看脸，不然，当今的整容业也不会这么火爆。同样，老师看作文，给他的第一印象就是开头一段话，如果开头漂亮，给人以先声夺人、耳目一新之感，阅卷老师给出高分是自然的。难怪古人把文章开头称为“凤头”。请看2004年山东中考满分作文《美的发现》的开头：

在我的记忆中，有许多美的瞬间，有春天的百花盛开，有夏天的浓浓绿色，有秋天的累累硕果，有冬天的银装素裹„„但我觉得那一瞬间是最美的! 第五、主体部分要有亮点。

一般的名篇佳作，也并非通篇精美，它们之所以出“名”称“佳”，也只是其中有一个或几个精彩的片断或精警性的诗以出“名”称“佳”，也只是其中有一个或几个精彩的片断

或精警性的诗句。这些就是文章的亮点。中考作文可以通过以下方法来增加亮点：

1、加强环境描写和细节描写。写人叙事一般人总能做到，比精彩就在环境描写和细节描写上。环境描写能营造出一种特有的气氛，使阅卷老师的情绪受到感染。细节描写犹如万绿丛中的一点红，显目耀眼。平时上课时老师津津乐道我们拍掌叫好的不都是一些精彩片断或细节吗?

2、适当运用成语、熟语、歇后语、古典诗词等，恰当运用修辞手法。运用成语、熟语、歇后语、古典诗词，可以让阅卷老师感到你知识丰富，积累深厚，自然产生敬意。运用恰当的修辞手法，如比喻、拟人、排比、夸张、对偶、设问、反问等使文章的语言生动形象，对阅卷老师产生巨大的感染力。

3、恰当运用抒情议论。抒情可以使文章的感情得到升华，议论常起到画龙点睛、深化主题的作用。这写文字看似短少，但“磁力”大，它往往能像闪光的珍珠一样博得阅卷老师的青睐。 第六、结尾要简洁。

文章的结尾可运用抒情议论或者描写文字，将主体内容作由浅入深、由此及彼的点示或推演，呼应题目，透出主旨，可以收到“豹尾一击”，动人心弦的艺术效果。

上文仅是一些实践经验的总结，当然，要真正写好文章，需要同学们平时多阅读、善观察、勤写作。只有这样，考试时，灵感才会涌出，笔下才能生花。
