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”.

篇4:英语议论文的写作方法与技巧指导
全文共 7039 字
+ 加入清单议论文写作是几种常见文体中要求较高的一种。下面语文迷网整理了一些写作方法,希望对你有帮助。
一、议论文的文体特点和写作要求
英语议论文同中文议论文一样也是以议论的方式,通过摆事实、讲道理来阐述自己观点的一种文体。高中英语议论文是一种限制性的写作, 其论点、论据、论证都必须十分明确,学生必须结合题目要求来阐述相关观点。
议论文的结构可分为三个部分:1、引言段引出一个令人关注的问题或明白地亮出自己的观点,如提倡什么,支持什么,反对什么。 2、主体段对提出的问题进行分析、推论、并运用归纳法、演绎法和类比法等进行论证,取得以理服人的效果。3、结论段可以用两三句话来结束文章,同时要注意重申论点,与引言段呼应,但不能照搬原话。务必做到论点明确、要点齐全、论证严密、结构严谨、层次分明、首尾呼应。
二、议论文的写作方法与技巧
一)、审好题
人们常说:“磨刀不误砍柴功”。审题是写作的开始,是写好作文的前提条件,“好的开始是成功的一半”,议论文写作也不例外。只有明确题目要求,确立观点,确定论证方法及全文段落安排,才可能成功写出一篇好的议论文。如果写偏了题,再精心的构思、再好的语言表达也是枉然。审题主要包括六个方面:一是判断议论文所属类型。英语议论文根据命题特点,从形式上来看可分为如下类型: ①“一分为二”的观点。如:“轿车大量进入家庭后,对家庭、环境、经济可能产生的影响”。②“两者选一”的观点。如:“乘火车还是乘飞机”。③“我认为……”型,如:“你对课外阅读的看法”。④“怎样……(how to)”型,如:“怎样克服学习中碰到的困难”。⑤ 图表作文,通过阅读图表中的数字与项目得出一个结论或形成一种看法(杨家贵,2005)。二是确立该文的论点或作者须持的观点,以及支撑论点的道理和事实。三是确定全文所包括的要点。四是确定段落数及每段适用的连接词、过渡句,使文章连接紧凑、过渡自然、层次分明。五是选择全文主要时态及各段适用的其它时态。六是判断该文的格式,是书信还是短文。审题完毕,随即列出提纲。
二)、注重主题句的设置
主题句又叫中心句(topic sentence),是段落的论点,限制段落中议论的范围,是整个段落的纲领。主题句必须要正确,要明确表明作者赞成什么,反对什么。主题句在一篇百来字的议论文中好比“画龙点睛”,帮助作者分层次阐述自己的观点,让读者快速了解作者的观点。
1、确定主题句的位置
英语议论文的主题句宜设在段首第一句,这是由以下两个因素决定的。1)、主题句出现的位置有三种情况:①在段首,以便读者浏览主题句就可掌握文章的概要,这个位置适用于写提供信息或解释观点的段落;②在段末;③段中(高长梅,2000)。2)、英语民族的思维特点是常采用路标式(直线式)篇章结构,即主题句在段首。
2、写出好的主题句
好的主题句具有以下特点:①有一定的概括性,普遍性而不是罗列具体事实。②句意明确而不是模糊不着边际。③让人有话可写而不是给出无可辩驳的事实。④不以问题的方式出现,也不要同时表达两个以上的观点。笔者要求学生写了以下的主题句:
1)Staying up late is bad for our health.
2)The more cars, the better?
3)There are two reasons why some people are fascinated by Super Girls and two reasons why some dislike them.
4)Beijing is famous for the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Imperial Palace and other places of interest.
5)a. Tom is a middle school student.
b. Tom is a hard-working middle school student.
6)Living in small cities is better than living in big cities.
然后让学生对照主题句的特点,他们一致认为1)、5)b、6)为好的主题句。在实践和对比中,学生学会了如何写好的主题句,并且运用到议论文写作中,收到较好效果,见以下实例(下段黑体部分是主题句)。
Everyone lives by selling something. For example, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to calculate the true value of services which people perform for us. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.
由此可见,好的主题句能帮助作者阐明观点,起到提纲挈领的作用。作者围绕段落的中心论点,运用多种方法展开论证,达到以理服人的效果。
三)、用好连接词和过渡句
从行文需要出发选用恰当的连接词、过渡句可使整篇文章文句流畅,句意转换自然,同时使表达合乎逻辑,文章结构严谨。倘若一篇议论文的段落里不乏高级词汇和复杂语法结构,但缺少了连接词、过渡句的润色而不能从一个观点自然地过渡到另一个观点,或段落里的各论据(supporting sentence)连接松散,势必削弱论证的效果,就算不上一篇好的议论文。下面分别说明如何有效运用连接词与过渡句。
1、句与句的连接词
连接词通常由连词、副词、介词短语和插入语等充当。如何有效使用连接词,使句意连贯、紧凑,以体现文章良好的严密的论证逻辑?
2.段与段的过渡句
过渡句帮助作者展示文章的条理和层次。恰当运用过渡句能使表达锦上添花。当文章从一个层次转换到另一个层次,或由一段内容转入另一段内容时需要用过渡句。恰当有效的运用过渡句,效果明显(见下文,题目及要求略,黑体部分为过渡句)。
Wearing school uniform every day spreads an order over many schools. Is it good or bad for students? Different people, however, have different opinions on this matter.
Some people say that it has a bad effect on developing students’ personal character. According to them, students are tired of wearing the same clothes every day, which is hard to tell who’s who. Furthermore, the cost of the school uniform is not low as many people think. With the bad quality, it’s not well worth the money.
However, as a popular saying goes: “Every coin has two sides.” Others argue that it is good for students. In their opinion, wearing school uniform will prevent students from wasting so much money on clothes and the time on catching up with the fashion. In addition, it’s easy for the teachers to recognize the students. There is no doubt that wearing school uniform every day is good for students.
In short, I firmly support the view that we should wear school uniform.(康珍,2005)
上文黑体部分综合体现了恰当、有效运用连接词和过渡句的最佳效果。全文行文流畅、衔接自然、条理清楚,浑然不觉作者是在套用各种连接词和过渡句。因此,非常有必要熟记一些常用典型的议论文过渡句,使议论文结构严谨,论点清楚,行文流畅。
1)引言段的常用过渡句
Recently we had a heated discussion on…, Opinions are various among different people.
Different people have different opinions on the question of …
They differ greatly in their attitudes towards …
Different people hold different views/opinions on this matter.
Although most people think… I believe…
此类过渡句能迅速引起读者注意,自然而然地引出全文要讨论的话题,或者开门见山地阐明文章的论点。
2)主体段的常用过渡句
Some may hold the view that… because… But others have a negative attitude. From their point of view…
Some people think that… While others believe…
Some people are for the idea of… because… But some people are against the idea of… because …
本文所指议论文的主体段可以是一段也可以是两段。通过正确使用过渡句,文章思路清晰,结构清楚,显示作者严谨思维,增强表达效果。
3)结论段的常用过渡句
As far as I am concerned, I totally agree with the statement that…
Therefore, it’s easy to draw the conclusion that…
As a consequence/result, I firmly support the view that…
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may reach the conclusion that…
To sum up/in a word/in conclusion/in short/above all/in general/ generally speaking, I still hold the view that…
运用过渡句的提示作用进入结论段,作者或是重申论点,或是强调论点,以便加深读者对全文的了解和深刻认识。
英语议论文范文:
Should Examination Be Abolished (取消)?
The examination system has come to be the main theme (主题)of modern education. One should take an examination andsucceed in passing it before he could be admitted, promoted or graduated. As it plays so important a role in the realm of education (教育的领域) it is under much criticism (评论) as to its validity (有效性) . People who are in favour of it try to develop this system more; those who are against it believe that such a system should be abolished. Should examination be abolished? In my opinion it should be.
Many people think that an examination is the only means to test knowledge, but, in fact, that is not true. A few questions given in an examination could by no means cover the whole field of the subject. Thus those who are able to answer them may be the poorest of the students and yet happen to know just a few points about that subject.
Id like to say that, because of the existence of the examination system, students pay so much attention to gaining high marks, that they often forget the chief purpose of education. The so-called clever students devote (贡献) themselves to the study of textbooks only. They, of course, know nothing but the skeleton (梗概) of knowledge. The end and aim of education, however, is to enable students to learn how to live. To do this, students must get themselves to do all kinds of training, physicalas well as mental. The present examination system has discouraged students from making such an attempt.
Moreover, since the students try so hard to put their lessons into memory in as short a time as possible, psychologically (心理上来看), they soon forget the whole subject as soon as the examination is over. Surely this is one of the greatest wastes ever made in the history of civilization.
Lastly, in order to get high marks, there is a great temptation (诱惑) for students to cheat (作弊) in an examination. Indeed, such a practice becomes the means to the end. They cheat their teachers, their parents and also themselves. Such a tendency would impair (损害) our moral standards (道德标准) .
Therefore, I am of the opinion, in conclusion, that the examination system should be abolished.

篇6:英语写作小技巧
全文共 471 字
+ 加入清单一. 肯定不如否定好
修辞的使用在书面表达中算作很大的亮点,在高中阶段很少有学生会注重修辞的应用。
双重否定也是种修辞,而且对于考生来说,只要稍加注意,可以在文章中设计双重否定的句子。
例如想表达“邮递员天天准时到”,如果写成The postman comes on time every day,就不如变成双重否定,The postman never fails to come on time,就变成了亮点句,起到强调作用。
“几乎每个人对生活的态度都不同程度受到地震的影响”,写成双重否定There was hardly a man or a woman whose attitude towards life had not been affected by the earthquake.
应用类似的修辞会在中为同学们加分。
二. 陈述不如倒装妙
在书面表达中阅卷老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种:倒装,强调,从句,独立主格和分词结构,以及虚拟语气。
倒装是一种最简单易行的使句子呈现亮点的方法。在高中阶段只需掌握倒装的四种形式,就足以应对书面表达。
篇7:中学生作文写作基础
全文共 849 字
+ 加入清单越来越浮躁和急功近利的高中作文教学,已经迫不及待到不顾学生初中一人一事记叙为主的写作基础,下面是小编整理的中学生作文写作基础,欢迎阅征我。
一、文章形式的革命——夹叙夹议
尽快脱离初中只重记叙,笼统归结的写法。高中的作文记叙只向最高水平开一条缝,你得复杂记叙,融情思与哲理于一炉,有最动人的细节和最精美的表达,巧妙蕴含深刻的思辨和无穷的回味,这不是一般人能做到的,更不是学不会议论抒情的同学的避难所。所以,比自己多练议论,远比固守初中记叙的窠臼要有前途。高中的记叙必须简约,只提炼能说明自己观点的内核,而尽量舍弃叙述的完整过程与细节。叙,惜墨如金;而起始学写议,应力求具体多点分析阐述。
二、文章立意的升华——深入浅出
叙完笼统归结是初中模式作文的又一通病,常常文章的结尾具有宽泛的普适性,而缺乏对文章应有之义作具体针对性的挖掘阐发,常常文章的“穿鞋戴帽”大到可以套在无数篇文章上,却没什么真正的思考。高中作文倘使还用夹叙夹议,也要对叙的材料反复推敲,找出几例可以统一在一个观点里的材料,就材料的不同侧面来评析议论,最后上升归结出恰当切题、言之有物的中心。
三、文章表达的提高——点睛生花
好的文笔追求更高效率、更多意蕴。描述中就渗透情思与评析,这是较高水平的表达。一般的叙议分段,也应注意所叙材料紧贴自己的议论,议论应采取逐层推进,前后分界,避免相互缠绕。但又必须前后连贯,形成一个整体。在文章中一定写好精心组织的关键议论,努力使文章多处呈现运用一定修辞的文采。
话题作文训练举隅
话题作文的基本要求:话题作文还是要审题,所写内容必须在话题范围之内。“立意自定”,关键要读懂话题关键词的意旨,若给出导语提示,还应划出导语中包含归结的关键语词。一般初学者,首先要注意让这些关键词贯穿在自己作文的始终,统帅自己的文意。

篇9:英语考试
全文共 945 字
+ 加入清单初中生活转眼间已经过去近两个月的时间,学得不亦乐乎的我们,迎来了第三次英语考试。经历了几次失败的我,仍以满怀信心的态度迎接了这次考试。
“叮铃铃……”,一声清脆的上课铃声响起。等了许久,不见老师走进教室,于是音乐委员孙雅欣起了一首《小情歌》,我们在一片歌声中等待着老师的到来。随着一句“写下,我时间和轻琴声交错的城堡。”,这一首歌就算唱完了,老师也出现在了教室门口。只见$2老师手握一沓卷子,神情庄重地走上了讲台,双手撑在桌子上,宣布:“这节课考英语。”说罢,她粉红的脸上露出一丝微笑,我们知道那是对我们的鼓励,可仅仅是简单的鼓励吗?不,我想不是的,那更是对我们必胜的信心。
时间很紧,仅有一节课,听力又要浪费不少的时间,我和熊瑞林这些急性子自然不会放松。握起笔杆,本来悠闲的心在这时突然紧张起来。环视四周:有的人怕时间不够而奋笔疾书,有的人怕书写不好而轻描慢写;有的人因题目简单而早早做完,有的人因不会做题而乱抓纸团;有的人紧握笔杆从容地答题,有的人东借尺子西借橡皮。$2老师没有为此苦恼,而是欣慰的笑了笑,因为她知道,让有人作弊和人很乱比起来,当然是后者更让人人心舒畅。我从容地握起了笔杆,猛然开始飞速答题,与三分钟前的闲谈形成了鲜明的对比,钟上秒针的抖动还不及我笔尖的一小半儿速度快,填上了几个“A”、“B”、“C”,写上了几个“That”和“This”,一张英语试卷就完成了。匆匆扫视了几眼,无聊至极的我便
翻开数学书,打开作业本,开始悠闲地做起数学作业,猛啃那绝对值·····数学还剩一点儿,听力又开始了。该快不快,该慢不慢的不说,报之前还按门铃。我拜托,磁带大哥,这是让你报听力,可没有让你挨家挨户拜年啊!况且,离新年还远呢!我不耐烦的听着磁带,做着听力,就在最后一道题时,慢吞吞的它一反常态,像吃了火药一样,我们还没反应过来就报完了,第二遍也一样,它以迅雷不及掩耳之势完成了自己的使命,可我们班内呢?一片鬼哭狼嚎,想时光倒转,再听几遍,可现实就是这么残酷,就在这时,该死的下课铃响了起来,顿时一片哀求。
考罢,我问到了自己的分数:118!全班最高!结果老师又加一句:别的班有120的,我想唱的“我得意的笑”,却变成了“只要你考得比我好,我就受不了”,带着一点哀叹,这场考试算是过去了。
篇10:写作基础:把叙述与描写结合起来
全文共 2201 字
+ 加入清单在写记叙文时,如果要使文字内容更具体,不空泛,一定要把叙述与描写结合起来。那么如何才能结合好呢?我们首先需要了解一下这两者的基本概念和作用。怎么结合呢?下文是小编整理的相关内容,欢迎阅读参考!
叙述和描写。是作文中两种不同的表现方式。我们这里说的叙述是指把人的经历行为或事件的发生、发展变化表述出来的一种表达方式,它常常把分散的场景,片断的故事和人物的身世,地位,经历,事迹等贯穿起来。它要求做到头绪清楚,脉络分明,有条有理,重点突出。
在记事、写人、状物的文章中,叙述是不可少的,尤其是在介绍人或事物变化为主的文章中叙述的作用更大,甚至有的文章专以叙述为长。我们本讲选的优秀作文《男班长,女班长》就是一个很好的例子。文章中描写部分很少,介绍事件发展过程的叙述占了很大的篇幅,如开头对男女班长来自何方的介绍,女班长对男班长的观察,正副班长必须合作的现实,以及同学们的揶揄,思想的顾虑,同学开玩笑不断,“收到副班长纸条”,到结尾“男女班长仍然合作着处理班里的事务”。这篇文章用很短的篇幅,以叙述为主,把一波三折的事件按发展轨迹清晰有序地介绍出来。对发展过程虽是梗概地介绍,但文章的思想内涵却非常丰富,也可以说在写法上是比较巧妙的。
叙述在按事件发生发展、人物经历的时间来划分,可以有顺叙,倒叙、插叙、补叙等方式,我们在写文章时,可以根据表达的需要去选择叙述的方式。
描写是对人物,事物和环境所作的具体的描绘和摹写,描写是再现描写对象状态的一种表达方式。描写需要采用绘声绘色的办法,把事物的状貌、神采和动态,具体地、真切地饱含情意地勾画出来。写人要使其声可闻,其容可睹;写物要使之可见,可闻,可触,可感;写景要意境鲜明,使读者产生仿佛置身其间的幻觉。
在我们学过的课文中,传神的描写是很多的。如《天山景物记》中对天山深处的描写,“山色逐渐变得柔嫩,山形也变得柔和,很有一伸手就可以触摸到凝脂似的感觉。这里溪流缓慢,萦绕着每一个山脚,在轻轻荡漾着的溪流的两岸,满是高过马头的野花,红、黄、蓝、白、紫,五彩缤纷,像绵延的织锦那么华丽,象天边的彩霞那么耀眼,像高空的长虹那么绚烂。”这段描写抓住山色、溪流、野花这三种最能表现天山特点的事物,重彩浓墨,绘声绘色地把天山美景表现出来。既能使读者如身临其境,也增添了作品的文采。我们在作文时,如果能恰当地运用描写来表现形象,借以表达某种强烈的思想感情。文章的感染力就一定能有所增强。
叙述和描写在记叙性的文字中都是不可缺少的表现方式。叙述着重于一般情况过程的交待,描写则着重形象的描摹和刻画;如果说叙述是纵的绵延,那么描写便是横的扩展。一篇文字若无叙述,就会显得杂乱无章;没有描写,则会干瘪枯燥,毫无生气可言。
实际上,成功的作品中,常常是叙述与描写交错在一起的。我们所选优秀作文,《奶奶与花》就是叙述与描写交融在一起的,近似于一线串珠式的一篇记叙文。
文中以时间为序,先从小时候家门前有一个很大的“花园”叙述开始,然后再描写人物行为语言、花的形态、气味。从而表现我“深深地爱上花”的过程。接着叙述自己病中见到花的情景,描写花的形态,写出自己感受到“花能给人一种强盛的生命力”。接着是叙述“随着年龄的增长,这种认识愈来愈深”又通过对“死不了”“仙人球”的描写,感悟出“花,让我感到一种无尽的生命力,一种明亮的期望”。第五自然段叙述自己养花的过程。这里又运用描写的方式,描绘出花园的美丽,各种花的特点,表现出花可以陶冶情操的作用。这段描写是比较突出的,描写了花的各种色彩,各种形态,用排比、比喻的手法绘色绘形,有丰富的想象力。为了把文章写得曲折有致,第七段、第八段叙述搬进高层楼房前、后我与奶奶对花的珍爱,对小花园的怀念,这里又有对人物的心理、动作的描写,为“小花园”遭到破坏,我和奶奶沉痛心情做了铺垫。
这篇文章用叙述的方式。介绍了事件发展曲折过程,使文章头绪清楚,脉络分明,重点环节突出。这是文章的一条线。在每个重要环节上,作者都生动形象地描绘了人物的行为、场景、物态,内容丰满。叙述和描写有机地结合在一起,深刻地表达了文章的主题思想,增强文章的感染力。
在作文时,恰当地运用叙述与描写,做到有机结合,要注意以下几点。
一、要熟练掌握叙述与描写的功能,注意二者之间互相依存、互相交通的关系。根据作文内容和思想表达的需要,交错运用。
二、在描写范围比较大、内容比较丰富的地域景物或事物状貌时,(例如《天山景物记》等一些游记式的文章)需要有一条贯穿始终的线索,有一个逐步转移、推进的过程,那么这个线索或过程就要依靠叙述来表现。如我们常讲的“移步换景”的写法,其中对“移步”的交代,往往需要叙述。用时间推移来描写事物或人物的发展变化时,对每个阶段的交代,一般也是要运用叙述来完成的。在这种情况下描写的条理性要依靠叙述来体现。
三、在写故事情节比较强文章时,人物的语言,行动往往是构成情节的重要因素、情节又要依靠叙述来展开,这就需要描写人物语言行动与铺叙故事情节同时进行,也就是说要把叙述故事融化在描写中,或把描写融化在叙述情节中。我们仔细玩味一下作文《奶奶与花》,其中有些地方就是把描写与叙述这样融合在一起的。
我们就应当多选读一些优秀作文或名家的文章,刻意体味一下的相依关系,学习二者的结合形式。使自己的作文能更加条理清晰,情节曲折跌宕,内容丰富有致,更具有感染力。

篇13:提高英语写作水平的方法
全文共 3163 字
+ 加入清单在外语四项技能中,写作对学生的要求是最高的,它要求学生具有以外语思维方式谴词造句,熟练掌握拼写、标点等写作的基本知识的能力。小编收集了提高英语写作水平的方法,欢迎阅读。
英语教学的目的在于发展学生的英语语言技能,培养学生良好的英语交际能力。《英语新课程标准》中语言技能包括听、说、读、写四项基本技能及这四种技能的综合运用能力,四者之间密切联系,相互渗透,互为基础。听、读是领会和理解别人表达的意思;说和写是用言语表达思想。写的能力要在听、说、读的基础上进行培养和提高,而写的训练又能进一步提高听、说、读的能力。
在外语四项技能中,写作对学生的要求是最高的,它要求学生具有以外语思维方式谴词造句,熟练掌握拼写、标点等写作的基本知识的能力。还需要学生有创造性、有合乎逻辑的表达思想的能力。目前的小学英语教学中,极其重视“听、说、读”的能力训练, “写”的教学基本一直停留在“抄写”阶段,没有开始真正意义上的写作教学。
一.写作准备阶段
(一)消除恐惧心理
自英语普及后,根据社会要求,杜绝“哑巴英语”,大多数的学校都从一年级就开设英语课程,到了四年级,学生的口头表达能力都很好,笔头方面就相对弱了。进行英语写作,他们就会觉得不自信,觉得自己水平达不到,能力也够不上。针对这点,就得需要教师在教学中,根据学生的实际能力安排教学。学生是教学的主体,要想教学有效果,就必须发挥学生的主动性。学生怕写作,一方面是觉得自己的所积累的词汇量和句子不够多,教师在教学中注重适量的拓展和培养积累单词,词组的好习惯,对句子进行举一反三的说。另一方面学生怕在写作中犯错,怕会因为一些小错误就受到老师的批评,就这方面,教师在指导时应多给予鼓励,只有让他们认识到了错误,改正了,才会减少错误,在鼓励中增强学生的自信心,从而消除他们对写作的恐惧感。
(二)创设写作环境
环境是非常重要的因素,人的成长需要好的环境,写作当然也要求有个好的环境。况且,写作是个复杂的思维过程,环境在此更显其重要性。在教学中,教师可以精心为学生创设一个积极、合作和富有鼓励性的环境,使他们乐于写作,充分发挥自己的思维能力。比如,在中年级的英语教学中可以安排学生对练习册上的短小语段摘抄下来,读读背背,培养语感;在高年级的英语教学中,可以安排写英语日记,一组的学生的共用一本日记本,每天由一位同学带回家写英语日记,内容及多少都不限制。老师每次都得对日记进行认真批改和给予鼓励性的评价。学生可以传阅,在其中他们能分享成功的喜悦,也扩大阅读量。
(三)传授基本知识
写作就像盖房子一样,有了材料,要把这材料以一定的形式堆放在一起才能形成房屋,这都需要老师的指导。英语写作技能的难度较大,学生也不能很快接受,提高英语写作质量也不容易,教师在进行英语写作教学时,要特别注意教学目标与学生特点,采用适当的教学方法,传授基本的写作知识。
1.科学指导学生对单词的识记,提高单词拼写的正确率,减少不必要的拼写错误。教师可以引导学生在阅读过程中和其他课内外学习中养成记单词的好习惯,同时也要鼓励学生注重词组及常用句型的积累,同时也要给与适合的场合让他们输出。
2.语法是英语学习中非常烦琐,枯燥的一项,小学生很难接受,但在教学中适当得进行句法结构操练还是必要的。让学生自然地接受语言结构,以便他们在写作时能正确地表情达意。
3.汉英表达存在着差异,如Ilikeit,too.中文的正确表达是:我也喜欢它。不会说成:我喜欢他,也。这就是中文和英文在词序上的不同,也是一种习惯表达的不同。没有特定的规律,这就需要学生多阅读,培养好的语感。
4.标点符号虽是小问题但不可忽视,教师应对此进行讲解,把两种语言中的标点符号的用法不同进行比较,阐明正确使用标点符号对正确表达思想十分重要。如,在表示一个人说话,汉语中用冒号和双引号,在英语中是没有冒号的,要表示一个人说话,得用逗号和双引号。
二.写作训练阶段
写作包括能用所学词汇、语法和句型造简单的句子、回答问题、改写课文、看图写话、依照学过的题材写小短文。这些需要循序渐进,要从最简单的语言和言语练习开始,从基本要求做起,由易到难,逐步提高要求,每一步都要有具体要求,切实可行。
(一)句的训练
词连成句,造句是英语写作教学的主要练习形式之一。可以先由教师提供词素,让学生学会连句,熟悉句子结构,为以后造句打下基础。教师也可以在教授一种句型结构时让学生改句子。而后,让学生自己造句,教师常常可以为学生造句提供一个结合实际生活的情景,这样可以避免注重语言形式,忽视内容,脱离一定的情景与主题。
句型转换也是训练形式之一,让学生在不改变语言意义的前提下进行句型转换练习,理解表达同一个意思可以采用不同的句型,这样可以避免写作时句型的单调与重复。
(二)段的训练
句连成段,可以进行看图写作,教师出示一幅图,让学生对其进行描述写成小段。看图写作有其长处,可以在写作过程中可以增加图片与英语思维、表达的直接联系、培养想象力、减少对中文的依赖。为了使学生更多地参与写作教学,激发他们对写作的兴趣,看图写作的图画老师可以让学生自己根据喜好,选择适合他们水平的图画或照片,带到课堂上使用。图画生动多样,大大激发了他们的写作兴趣,可以选一部分优秀的进行展示,评价,相互学习,这样能提高学生的整体水平。
(三)短文的训练
提供学生一些生活化的话题,选择的话题材料要接近学生的现实生活和学习。比如学生可以写自我介绍,写最喜欢的动物,学生会很活跃地思考,用最简单的句子表达他们的意思,表达他们的感情。
同时,也可以是对书本内容进行的扩充,如《牛津小学英语5B》,Unit4中出现了writeane-mail,在这里可以补充教授书信的格式,通过网络让学生学会用电子邮件发信,教师可以让学生结合自己的实际,与自己的朋友写e-mail,但要做到有信必回,这样才是有效的训练。如6B讲到seasons时可以给他们一个topic:Whichseasondoyoulikebest?Why?这样的话题是他们自己切身感受,学生们可以畅所欲言。
(四)阅读的训练
俗话说:读书破万卷,下笔如有神。阅读是写作的基础,大量的,广泛的阅读,能加强学生理解和吸收书面信息的能力,有助于巩固和扩大词汇量,增强语感丰富学生的语言知识。教师可以指导学生读一些相同水平的文章、故事,记忆背诵一些典型的范文也是可以的。让学生在大量的阅读中积累词汇、句子,形成良好的语感,为学生更好的写作打下坚实的基础。
三.如何评价写作内容
学生的作文要及时地批改,对学生在写作中出现的错误,可以用一些柔和的方式指出,并给予他们指导,告诉他们怎么错了,订正在边上(订正在原位会使他们忽略他们的错误),知道正确答案,再加以鼓励。这样,他们会慢慢积累知识。即使有学生的错误很多,也不要说“写得不行,不好”之类的话,打击他们的积极性,可以给予他们一些建议,给予他们多些指导这样会更好。
对于写的好的,可以当场给予表扬和鼓励,把好的文章读给大家听或者展贴出来,其余学生可以一起分享。俗话说“乐此不疲”,要学好一种东西,兴趣是至关重要的。它是获得知识进行创造性创作的一种自觉动机,是鼓舞和推动学生创作的内在动力,也是提高写作水平的重要途径。因此,在写作教学中要鼓励学生创作,培养他们创作的兴趣,好的作品可以将它们推荐到小学生学习报刊、杂志。这样,学生的积极性就调动了,他们也觉得有成就感,也更乐于写作了。
写作在英语教学中是不可忽略的一项,也是学生最难接受的。“宝剑锋从磨砺出,梅花香自苦寒来。”“滴水穿石非一日之功,冰冻三尺非一日之寒。”教师合理教学,学生长期持之以恒,做生活的有心人,做勤劳的小蜜蜂,多思考,多练笔,一定能对写作产生浓厚兴趣,提高英语写作能力。为今后的英语学习打下结实的基矗
篇14:写作基础:应用文写作
全文共 1754 字
+ 加入清单很多人对于应用文的写作都比较陌生,下面小编为大家带来了关于应用文的写作方法,欢迎大家阅读,希望对大家有所帮助。
一、结构的含义和作用
掌握结构的含义应用文的结构,是运用材料以表现主题的有序安排,是客观事物条理性在文章中的反映,为文章的组织形式和内部构造。文章的结构具有两重含义:一是宏观结构,即文章的总体构思、大体框架;二是微观结构,即对文章的层次、段落、开头、结尾、过渡、照应和主次的具体设计。2.了解结构的作用结构好比文章的骨架,是安排文章的具体形式,是将材料化为文章的手段之二。结构是表现主题的手段,是准确表达主题的必由之路,也是引导读者领会文章思想内容的向导。写文章只有找到恰当完美的结构形式,才能把主题和材料组合在一起,形成一个完美有机的整体。其作用具体表现在:
(1)使文章言之有体。应用文大多有较固定的结构形态,它是人们在长期写作实践中经过选择,逐步找到的最适合表现某种内容的最佳形式,也称之为“程式”。如简报、书信和行政公文类文书,具有相当固定的惯用格式。
(2)使文章言之有序。合理安排文章结构,就是根据一定的思路,将零散的材料组织起来,使之眉目清楚地成为一个有机的整体。
(3)使文章言之有文。精心安排文章结构,可以增加文章的文采,从而增强其可读性。
二、安排结构的条件
1.了解思路的含义及思路与结构的关系
在文章结构的两重含义中,总体构思是具体设计的前提和基础。总体构思也就是人们常说的“言有序”,是指对材料的安排要有次序,这体现了作者的思路。思路是安排结构的条件。
2、思路的含义
思路是作者思维活动的路线,是作者在头脑中梳理、组织内容材料的过程和结果。它是作者对客观事物自身条理性的观察、理解。
作者思路清晰,结构必然有条不紊;作者思路不清晰,结构必然紊乱。经过选择的材料,只有经过合理的组织安排,使之条理化、系统化,组成一个有机的整体,才能准确鲜明地表现既定的主题。
3、思路与结构的关系
在写作构思阶段,作者的思维活动异常活跃。确立主题,选择好材料,并进而考虑如何表达主题和如何安排材料,由此逐渐形成一条清晰、连贯、独到的思维活动路线——思路。此时,文章的大体框架已在作者的头脑中“闪现”出来。等到作者用书面语言把思路表达出来时,文章的结构也就具体安排好了。因此,作者思路与文章结构的关系极为密切。具体表现为以下三点:
(1)思路是形成结构的基础和内核。结构是文章最主要的表现形式。要使结构完整、严谨、匀称,动笔前,就需要作者匠心独运,形成清晰、连贯并具独创性的思路,进而“外化”成纲目清晰、严谨周密的结构。但是,文章反映客观事物,决不是对其原始形态的简单搬抄和复制,而是在符合客观事物发展规律基础上的主观创造。因此,不同的作者。不同的文体有不同的思路。思路开阔而有创见,文章的结构就新颖独特;思路狭窄而落俗,会使文章的结构板滞僵死;思路紊乱,文章的条理就必然不清;思路松散,文章的结构就不可能严密紧凑。(2)结构是思路的体现和反映。结构是思路的外显形式和文字载体。思路严密清晰,文章结构才能完整、严谨、清晰,主题才能得以准确地表达;思路紊乱、疏漏和闭塞,文章则会逻辑混乱、言而无序、首尾不能圆合。
4.了解锻炼思路的基本要求及锻炼思路的方法
(1)注意思路的条理性和逻辑性,使之清晰、周密、连贯。清晰,指展开思路要有顺序、有层次,同时对材料要加以区分和归类。周密,指思路要周到、严密,没有疏漏和缺损,不要顾此失彼,自相矛盾。连贯,指思维活动过程及其表达不仅要注意外在的次序,而且要处理好各个意思之间存在的衔接、并列、转折、因果、总分等内在联系,做到气脉贯通、流畅。
(2)注意思路的灵活性、独创性,使之活跃、开阔、敏捷。活跃与开阔,是指思路的开展要打破思维定势,进行多向探索,使之灵活、新颖而富有个性。敏捷是指思路的展开、梳理直至成型这一过程应该灵敏、迅速,使文章结构紧凑、气势流转而顺畅。
(3)养成良好的思维习惯。一是养成有序思考问题的习惯,由浅入深、由表及里、由此及彼。二是加强逻辑思维能力的训练。应用写作主要靠逻辑思维,要遵循“提出问题——分析问题——解决问题”这一认识规律。
(4)写作前要通盘思考,立足于写作意图、目的和所用文体特点,确定如何起笔,主体分几个部分展开,怎样收尾。

篇16:议论文写作基础知识
全文共 3711 字
+ 加入清单议论文是对某个问题或某件事进行分析、评论,表明自己的观点、立场、态度、看法和主张的一种文体。议论文有三要素,即论点、论据和论证。论点的基本要求是:观点正确,认真概括,有实际意义,恰当地综合运用各种表达方式;论据基本要是:真实可靠,充分典型;论证的基本要求是:推理必须符合逻辑。
写议论文要考虑论点,考虑用什么作论据来证明它,怎样来论证,然后得出结论。它可以是先提出一个总论点,然后分别进行论述,分析各个分论点,最后得出结论;也可以先引述一个故事,一段对话,或描写一个场面,再一层一层地从事实分析出道理,归纳引申出一个新的结论。这种写法叫总分式,是中学生经常采用的一种作文方式。也可以在文章开头先提出一个人们关心的疑问,然后一一作答,逐层深入,这是答难式的写法。还要以是作者有意把两个不同事物以对立的方式提出来加以比较、对照,然后得出结论,这是对比式写法。
议论文是用逻辑、推理和证明,阐述作者的立场和观点的一种文体。这类文章或从正面提出某种见解、主张,或是驳斥别人的错误观点。新闻报刊中的评论、杂文或日常生活中的感想等,都属于议论文的范畴。
议论文又叫说理文,它是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体。作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非,以确定其观点正确或错误,树立或否定某种主张。议论文应该观点明确、论据充分、语言精炼、论证合理、有严密的逻辑性。
一、 议论文的要素:
详细说明议论文三要素:论点、论据、论证
论点:是作者对所论述问题的见解和主张,是议论文的灵魂。
1.议论文一般只有一个中心论点,有的议论文还围绕中心论点提出几个分论点,分论点是用来补充或证明中心论点的,只要研究这些论点的关系,就可以分出主从。
2.如何找中心论点。论点应该是明确的判断,是作者看法的完整陈述,在形式上应该是完整的句子。位置可分:文章标题、文章开头、文章结尾、文章中间,有的则需要读者概括。
论据: 证明论点成立的材料。
1.事实论据:事实在议论文中论据作用十分明显,分析事实,看出道理,检验它与文章点在逻辑上是否一致。
2.道理论据:作为论据的道理总是读者比较熟悉的,或者是为社会普遍承认的,它们是对大量事实抽象,概括的结果。
论证: 议论文中的论点和论据是通过论证组织起来的。论证是运用论据来证明论点的过程和方法,是论点和论据之间的罗辑关系纽带。论点是解决“需要证明什么,”论据是解决“用什么来证明”,论证是解决“怎样证明”。
论证方法有以下几种:
1.举例论证:列举确凿、充分,有代表性的事例证明论点;
2.道理论证:用马列主义经典著作中的精辟见解,古今中外名人的名言警句以及人们公认的定理公式等来证明论点;
3.对比论证:拿正反两方面的论点或论据作对比,在对比中证明论点;
4.比喻论证:用人们熟知的事物作比喻来证明论点。此外,在驳论中,往往还采用“以尔之矛,攻尔之盾”的批驳方法和“归谬法”。在多数议论文中往往是综合运用的。
二、议论文结构
1.基本结构是提出问题(引论)分析问题(本论)解决问题(结论)。
2.可分两大类
a.纵式:逐层深入的论述结构
例1.“层层深入”式,先提出论点后,先从消极方面论证,然后进一步从积极方面论述.
例2.“起录转合”式:开头破题,引出论述问题;接着承接开头,阐述所论述的问题;“转”是从各个角度证明论点;最后归结,就是“合”。
b.横式:并列展开的论述结构
例如:
有“总论--分论--总论”式,先提出论点,而后从几个方面阐述,最后总结归纳;
有“总论--分论”式,先提出论点,然后从几个方面论证。
有“分论--总论”式,对所要论述的总是分几个方面剖析,然后综合归纳出结论。
总之,分析议论文的结构,先要弄明白中段落层次间的内在联系,还要注意文章中起着承上启下作用的过渡段,过渡句以及过渡词语。
考场如何写好议论文
1.写好字
一篇内质不错的文章,字迹可憎,其分值往往不理想。为何?其一,字和卷面差,按评分要求要扣分,其二,试卷的“面目”在一定程度上控制着阅卷者打分的情绪。美观整洁的书写是文章最好的“外衣”,它对阅卷者评分印象的形成是直接有效的:首先,笔划要清楚。字迹笔划清楚,字体端正,就能给阅卷者留下好印象。相反,龙飞凤舞,一路狂草,但难以辨认,就算文章写得好,也难以让人欣赏。其次,字体要适中。字体过大,卷面有拥挤繁乱之感,观之不雅。字体过小,阅读起来如觉蚁行,极其费神。再次,尽量少涂改。要涂改也须规范地涂改,切忌乱涂乱画,在卷面留下醒目的墨点,造成凌乱之感。
2.拟好题
题目是文章的眼睛,是文章传递显要信息的重要部分。由于它位居文章结构之首,所以文章题目的优劣也会直接影响阅卷者对文章的第一印象。议论文拟题的基本要求是:在准确的基础上力求醒目、舒畅。具体而言,可鲜明,可形象,可简洁,可别致,可整齐,不一而足。总之,以能激发阅卷者阅读兴趣或使之有耳目一新之感为最佳。
议论文的题目要求符合文体特征,要求鲜明,使人见其题而知其旨。观点鲜明的文章最受阅卷者的欢迎,因为它具有清澈感和透明感,能够传达出文章内容之大概,便于阅卷者准确而快速地把握整篇文章的基本内容。
3.开好头
高尔基说过:“(开头)好像音乐里定调一样,全曲的音调都是它给予的,也是作者花功夫的所在。”议论文的开头要讲究“短、快、靓”。短,即要简捷,最好三两句成段,引入本论。开头短,可避免冗长之赘,而且短句成段,在空间上突出其内容的重要性。快,即入题要快,最好三言两语就点明文章的基本观点或议论的话题。因为评分标准中有“中心明确”的细则。开篇确定中心,有利于阅卷者按等计分,也有利于作者展开论述,不致出现主旨不清、中途转换论题等作文大忌。靓,即要精彩。这也是传统文论中所说的“凤头”。精彩的开头,最突出的效果是吸引阅卷者,给阅卷者留下好的印象。文章开头要精彩,多用比喻、类比、排比等修辞引入论点,还可引述名言,讲述寓言故事导入话题。
4.中间段写好首句和末句
议论文的结构是否严谨,条理是否清楚,论证是否严密,论据是否典型,关键在中间段的写作。而结构、条理、论证和论据等是议论文评分的重要细则,因此,写作议论文要尽量符合这些标准。
常见的论述模式是:首句为小论点或承上启下的过渡词句;中间围绕小论点,运用恰当的事实、理论论据,或针对现实生活中的某些现象,分析说理;最后结合论述内容写一两句小结的话语。其中首句和末句的写作最重要,它能直接勾勒文章的脉络,显示全文的论述思路。另外,文章的整体论证结构常用正反对比式。许多道理只要从正反两面说了,就基本上可做到论述严密。在考场中熟练地运用这种作文模式,可迅速地展开写作,减少失误,节省时间。同时,它可使阅卷者能便捷地依据评分标准,在中档以上分项计分,避免不利于考生的个人评分因素出现。
5.典型而鲜活的论据
论点是议论文的灵魂,分论点是支撑起这个灵魂的骨架,而论据是议论文的血肉。一个人要丰满多彩,光有灵魂和骨架,没有血肉是不可想象的。同样一篇议论文只有中心论点和分论点是不能称为文章的,它还必须有典型而鲜活的论据。
典型的论据是指能充分反映事物本质,具有代表性的事例与名言。它首先要求真实,切合题旨。其次,选用的论据要弃旧用新,要厚今薄古。有些同学作文,记住几个经典论据,如司马迁、居里夫人、张海迪,变换着角度使用,把它们当做万花油。其实,这些论据就算典型,也不能引人注目。相反,选取人无我有、人有我新的论据说理,使阅卷者在阅读时产生新鲜感,效果会更好。另外,有些同学习惯用古代事例阐述事理,整篇文章未能联系实际,无时代的活水,也不能达到充分说理的目的。最好能引述时尚言论和当前媒体普遍关注的事例辅助说理,加强说理的针对性、时代感,使文章更具说服力。
6.结好尾
结尾是全文内容发展的必然结果,是文章结构的重要组成部分。现代著名作家师陀曾说:“写文章不管长短,首先要考虑好结尾。有了结尾,如何开头,中间如何安排,便迎刃而解了。”好的结尾当如豹尾,响亮有力,令人警醒,催人奋进。如鲁迅的《论雷锋塔的倒掉》,结尾只有两个字:“活该!”短短两字,可谓简洁之至,力透纸背。
其实,文章的结尾有时比开头还重要。由于阅卷者看完结尾后即开始打分,因此,它的好坏还直接影响到阅卷者的评分心理。李渔曾说:“篇际之终当以媚语摄魂,使之执卷流连,若难遽别。”结尾如有此种效果,整篇文章将增色不少。议论文结尾的写作,要收束全文,突出中心论点;要体现全文结构的紧凑、完整,不能草率收兵,也不能画蛇添足;语言要干脆有力、清音留响,富有启发性和鼓舞性。
7.语言形象畅达
语言项是作文评分的重要标准。议论文的语言,要准确鲜明,生动形象。有些同学写议论文,常摆出说大道理的架式,将哲学原理和辩证法的术语一股脑搬出来,以求说理的充分、透彻,但效果适得其反。
一个道理有一千种说法,要尽量选用形象生动的说法。要显形象生动之效,除了采用比喻、类比、事例等论证方法外,形象畅达乃至华美的语言必不可少.修饰议论文的语言,注意运用比喻、排比、对偶和反复等修辞,使文章形成华美流畅感;注意运用假设句、反问句或整句,使文章增强不可辩驳之势。修饰语言之功,虽不是一朝一夕可成,但只要积久成习,自然会有长进.
篇17:写作基础中小学生作文常见的“线索”
全文共 349 字
+ 加入清单导语:“线索清楚”是每篇最佳文章的第一感观。无论写人记事,都必须要用一根主线把前后内容串联起来,才能构成一个完美的整体,如果线索不清,所写的事将会如一团乱麻,看不出头绪。要掌握“线索清楚”这一技法,就必须懂得小学生常见的“线索”有哪些。
根据小学生的作文内容范围,可从以下五个方面了解行文的“线索”。
第一,以事件发生发展的过程为线索;
第二,以物体为线索;
第三,以时间顺序为线索;
第四,以作者思想感情为线索。
总之,不论以哪一方面为线索,都必须根据文章主题和材料的需要而确定,都必须理清思路和文章的脉络。特别对于记叙较复杂的事物,除抓住主要线索外,还要设计好次要线索;还有的文章可以涉及明、暗两条线。不管怎样设计文章,只要能把握“线索清楚”这一技法,写出来的文章就会给人以清新、明白、有理有据的完美印象。
篇18:写作基础:书信作文的书写格式
全文共 1367 字
+ 加入清单导语:书信是日常生活中广泛应用的一种文体。它是一种特殊的实用文体。长期以来,它形成了自己独有的固定的书写格式:一般包括称呼、正文、结尾、署名、日期五部分。下面小编来说说书信作文的书写格式,一起来看看吧!
称呼:第一行顶格写收信人的名字和称呼(或只写称呼),有时还要加上“敬爱的、亲爱的”等词,表示对收信人的亲热和尊敬;接着加个冒号,表示下面的话是对他说的。
正文:另起一行空两格开始写正文,也就是书信的内容。正文部分通常先写问候的话。问候是一种礼节,问候语很多,有节日的问候,如“新年好”“春节快乐”等;有季节性的问候,如“夏安”“冬安”等。也有开头问候身体健康,工作和学习情况的,如“近来身体可好”“近来的学习好吗?”等等。问候语可以独立成为一个段落。
正文是书信的主体部分,是写信的目的之所在,写信人要说的话,要办的事都写在这里。正文的内容在问候语下一行空两格写起,转行时要顶格写起。如果要说的话,要办的事多,应该分段写,每段写一件事,写完一件事,再写另外一件事。每段开头都要空两格写起。
结尾:正文写完后,要写上表示祝愿、尊敬或勉励的话,也叫致敬语。致敬语要根据对象不同而不同。如果写给长辈,可以写“敬祝健康”等;如果写给平辈,可以写“祝学习进步!”等。而“此致敬礼”是比较通用的,适合一般人的结束语。结尾的“此致”“祝”等可以紧接正文写,也可以独占一行,空两格写。“敬礼”“健康”等祝愿之情,要另起一行顶格写。
署名:写在正文结尾后的右下方。可以根据信纸剩下的多少,决定署名与致敬语的距离。署名时根据与收信人关系的亲疏,可带姓,可不带姓。习惯上,还按与收信人的关系,在名字前面加上“孙”、“弟”“老朋友”等称谓写在名字的左上角,字体小一点。
日期:一般写在署名的下边。日期最好是把年月日都写出来,便于收信人了解写信时间。
