1000新闻写作技巧
全文共 7248 字
+ 加入清单在日常生活中“新闻”一词有两种用法,一种是广义的,广义的新闻就是“新近发生的事实报道”,泛指报纸、广播、电视中常用的各种报道文章,包括消息、通讯、特写、报告文学、调查报告、评论等。
一种是狭义的,狭义的新闻专指消息。除了评论等少数议论文,绝大多数新闻都是记叙性文体。
这里的定义强调三点:
一是在“事实”,事实是第一性的,新闻是第二性的,先有事实,后有新闻;
二是“新近发生”,这是说新闻不是隔年的老黄历,不是旧闻,强调的是变化中的“新”;
三是“报道”,即指新闻反映的是有意义的事实,重要的事实,值得报道的事实,是经过新闻工作者加工裁剪的事实。
新闻的特点
概括地说,新闻的特点有以下几个方面:
1.真实性
新闻必须真实,这是新闻写作的基本要求,也是新闻报道的一项根本原则。这是由新闻的内涵和特性所决定的。新闻所表现的必须是现实生活中真实发生、客观存在的事物。
2.新鲜性
作为一种信息,新闻是事实的反映,但并非任何事实、任何信息都能成为新闻。新闻必须是新鲜的所见所闻。新闻的“新”包含内容的“新”和时间的“新”两方面。内容的“新”即要有新意;时间的“新”就是要及时。
3.倾向性
一切新闻机构都是某一阶级、某一集团的喉舌,都是根据本阶级的利益进行新闻宣传的,这就给新闻带上了无以争辩的政治倾向。
4.选择性
新闻是新近发生的事实的报道,这是无疑的,但由于新闻同时又有凭借事实传播一定的思想观点和影响舆论的作用,各种政治力量和社会集团往往利用新闻作为宣传手段。因此,对新闻事实总会有所选择。我们的新闻报道要紧紧围绕党和国家的大政方针,围绕国家局的中心工作和指导思想来报道。
新闻的五要素
新闻的五要素,即五个“W”。什么事(What,何事)?谁被牵连到这个事件之中(Who,何人)?这个事件是什么时候发生的(When,何时)?是在什么地方发生的(Where,何地)?为什么发生这个事件(Why, 何故)?有的还要加上一个H(How,怎么样)?
新闻要素=5“W”+1“H”,在五个W和一个H中,最主要的是What(何事)、Who(何人)。写作时要认真写好这几个方面的内容。
(四)新闻的体裁(文学作品的表现形式)
新闻包括多种体裁,大致有以下几种:消息(简讯)、通讯、报告文学等。
消息即是狭义的新闻,它是以简要的文字迅速及时地报道新闻事实的一种最广泛、最经常采用的新闻体裁。消息必须具备上面新闻的五要素,即何时、何地、何人、何事、何故。一则消息只有具备这五个要素,才能让读者对所报道的事情有一个清楚的了解。
因为消息是新闻写作的主要形式,也是大家动笔写稿件的主要形式,也是大家接触最多的形式,由于时间的关系,下面重点只讲一下怎样写好消息稿件的问题。其他文体就不在赘述了。
【新闻写作技巧】
一、培养新闻触角和新闻敏感,善于发现新闻线索,是写好第一篇新闻稿的意思准备。
同是大学生记者,共同生活在同一个环境里,也都到实践中去了,到学生中去了,为什么有的记者能写出漂亮的新闻作品,而有的记者仍然发现不了新闻线索,或者说发现不了有意义的新闻线索呢?为什么有的学生记者通讯员总是埋怨没有什么东西可写,而一再要求编辑老师为他们提供采访的话题,说到底这就是一个新闻敏感的问题。 什么叫新闻敏感或新闻触角呢?简言之,它就是新闻工作者识别新闻的敏锐能力。一个具有新闻价值的事情,别人不能看出它是新闻,而你却一下就能识别它是新闻,这就是新闻敏感。没有一定的新闻触角和新闻敏感,就很难写出一篇像样的新闻稿。美国新闻学家卡斯柏.约斯特在《新闻学原理》一书中的一段话,形象的阐述了新闻敏感对于记者的重要性。他说:“一个不善于辨别色彩的人,不能成为一个画家;一个不懂得和谐的人,不能成为一个音乐家;一个没有‘新闻敏感’的人,也不能成为一个新闻记者。”
(1)培养新闻触角和新闻敏感,善于发现新闻线索,就能够当事情还在“风起于清萍之末”时,就敏感地察觉到它,并预见它的去向,从而比较得心应手地写出一篇新闻稿。 具有了一定的新闻触角和新闻敏感,就不会感到“巧妇难为无米之炊”,就会兴奋地发现“生活处处皆新闻了”。在上班下班、吃饭、出差旅游、住宿乘车等看似没有新闻的场合,都能发现新闻线索。发表在《人民日报》通讯《新风饭馆有新风》
(2),就是记者吃饭时发现的新闻。写出这骗通讯的记者哪天外出采访,中午赶不回报社吃饭,于是顺便走进北京西单新风饭馆。饭馆里早已挤满了人。记者正站在饭桌边踌躇,一位热情的老服务员笑着招呼,并且很快帮助记者找了座位。对比另外的一些饭馆服务态度不好的情景,记者立即感到这里有新闻。经过一番采访,记者写出了这篇通讯,为饭馆树立了一个好榜样。 当然,新闻敏感不是与生俱来的,而是记者在采访实践中不断培养训练获得的。在大学生记者群中,不乏这样的人,他们刚开始成为一名学生记者,通讯员的时候,由于都是刚刚从中学来到大学,不用说缺乏新闻触角和新闻敏感,就是基本的新闻知识也不具备。但是,他们经过一段时间的新闻工作实践,刻苦学习,勤奋笔耕,终于成为了一名有一定新闻敏感和写作能力的校园记者。
二、积累新闻素材,选好新闻题材,找准新闻角度,是写好第一篇新闻稿的前提。
人民艺术家老舍曾经对初学写作的年轻人说过:“先收集材料,越多越好。”周立波也认为“材料少了不好办。”有个外国记者说:“你要有作为吗?一天8小时写稿不行,要做24小时的记者。”这些都说明积累素材对写作的重要意义。作为一个初学写作的大学生记者,更应该重视积累新闻素材。新闻素材是进入记者视野并被记者所意识,所采摘的生活现象,即从社会生活摄取而来的、尚未通过提炼和加工的原始材料。没有新闻材料的积累过程,就谈不上新闻写作的问题,作为记者,要积累新闻素材,必须重视自己的“笔记本”。法国作家果戈里便有一个近五百页的笔记本,他总爱把自己每时每刻看到的、听到的传闻趣事、警句谚语随时记到这个笔记本上。他说:“一个作家。应该象画家一样,身上经常带着铅笔和纸张。一位画家如果虚度了一天,没有画成一张画稿,那很不好。一个作家如果虚度了一天。没有记下一条思想,一个特点,也很不好。”每一个大学生记者,要写好一篇新闻稿,就必须养成随得随记的习惯,把在校园内看到的一切与师生相关、有可能产生新闻的素材积累起来。一个校报记者在几年的采访过程中积累起来的“笔记本”,将成为他从事新闻写作和研究工作的“万宝囊”。
新闻素材经选择、集中、提炼,其中一部分被记者写入新闻作品。我们常说:“收集材料要以一当十,使用材料要以十当一”。采访到的材料多,稿子里使用的材料少,这是一种正常的现象。但是,如果不想办法提高新闻素材的利用率,让大量的、有生活气息的材料“烂”在自己的笔记本里,这不能不说是一种极大的浪费。初学新闻报道的大学生记者,最常犯的一个毛病,就的不重视新闻材料的利用和选择,他们恨不能将自己的采访所得全部堆砌到新闻稿里去,或者面对大量的新闻素材,不知如何下笔。那么怎样才能提高新闻素材的利用率呢?
一个重要途径就是尽量把精彩的新闻素材转化为新闻题材。要选择那些真实的、有较大新闻价值的、符合新闻政策的材料作为新闻题材,要使选择的材料新颖、生动、有特色,能够有助于说明、烘托和突出新闻主题。而没有被选为新闻题材的素材,也不是全无用处。它还可以作为新闻背景,加强新闻报道的纵深度;或者作为新闻记者的生活积累,帮助记者捕捉和深化主题;或者应用到其他新闻体裁中,搞好新闻素材的综合利用。
角度,是新闻写作向自然科学借用来的一个概念。报道的角度,是记者认识被报道对象的思想方法及对被报道对象各“侧面”把握水平的综合反映的结果。它在一定程度上能说明记者处理采访的素材、挖掘材料的新闻价值的流程。大量散漫在笔记本上和记忆中的材料,如何进入新闻的既成轨道中呢?找出它之所以构成为新闻的特殊由头,就为记者进入材料的世界打开了一个突破口,开启了一扇大门;同时,找出最便于读者接受的角度,实质上是对材料的归纳和梳理,并对读者认识、接受事实起到了一个“导读”的作用。 校园生活是丰富多彩的,可供我们捕捉和选择的信息很多。同样一个新闻事实,选择不同的角度进行报道就会起到不同的效果。特别是在学校里,它以学年度为单位,许多教育教学活动、文化活动以及生活学习方式,从时间上来说,都带有周期性循环的特点。如每年上半年是毕业生就业的时期,每年秋季是学校招收新同学的时间,每年都有教师节,每年都有学生到工厂、学校、机关和农村实习等等。如果每年的新闻报道,都仅仅报道活动本身,而不的选择一个新的角度和切入点,找出一个观察人物、事物、问题的新角度,从人物、事物、问题的某一个侧面入手,给读者以新的信息,那就势必使写出来的新闻失去心意,似曾相识,读者就会失去阅读兴趣,即使看了也只能是索然无味、如同嚼蜡,从而使时间失去报道的必要性。角度是选择的恰当与否,在一定程度上决定着新闻成功与否。最佳角度的选择可以变平庸为新鲜,变枯燥为生动,变肤浅为深刻,甚至可以变新闻为旧闻。 要写好一篇新闻稿,可以注重这样几个角度:
第一、思想角度,有启发性的思想常常能够吸引不少人的注意力,加强思想上的力度是最重要的新角度。如一个班级的党章小组开展的活动,单从范围来说,算不上大的新闻,但如果从加强思想政治学习的角度来看,却又有报道的价值。
第二、特色角度,有些节日的庆祝活动每年都大同小异,但我们如果找准了该年活动的特色内容进行报道,就能写出有价值的新闻。
第三、读者角度,要注意研究同全校师生的物质生活和精神生活竟紧密相连、普遍关心的问题,选择发生在师生学习、生活中的“小事”,以小见大,才能增强新闻的吸引力。作为一个大学生记者,只要经常深入到同学们的教室、寝室、图书馆、运动场,注意观察他们的学习和生活状况,了解他们的意见和要求,从他们的意见和要求,从他们最关心、最想知道的内容入手,才能写出有意义的新闻。
第四、时间和空间角度。有些新闻事实,在不同的时期、不同的空间其重要的程度也会发生一定的变化。有的事实发生在去年算不了新闻,但发生在今年却要算新闻了;有的事实发生在A学院算不了新闻而发生在B学院却又算新闻了;有的事件和话题,在一定时期内迫切需要解决,对实际工作能起推动作用;有的问题在一定时期内成为师生关注的焦点。
三、掌握新闻写作的一般技巧,提炼新闻主题,是写好第一篇新闻稿的关键。
大学生记者要写好一篇新闻稿件,就必须掌握各种新闻体裁写作的一般技巧。如果是学写第一篇新闻稿,至少要做到以下几点:
第一、基本掌握标题的制作技巧。标题是文章的眼睛,一篇新闻稿若有一条新颖别致的标题,就能象磁石那样牢牢地吸引编辑和读者的注意力。
第二、学会写导语。导语是消息的开头,是消息中最有价值的部分。国外新闻界有人称导语是“抓心的手”这就是极言导语吸引作用的。没有好的导语,就算不上成功的新闻稿。
第三、基本熟悉各种新闻体裁的写法和结构。不熟悉各种新闻体裁的基本写法,就无法比较得心应手地进行新闻写作。而谋篇布局的好坏在一定程度上决定新闻稿件在受众和编辑眼中的“身价”
第四、理解和掌握新闻写作的基本方法——用事实说话。摆事实,用事实说话,这是新闻独特魅力所在,也是新闻事业不可代替的价值所在。初学新闻的大学生记者往往用自己的主观评价和臆断代替大量的重要的新闻事实,使写出的新闻或空洞无物,或言不及义。 而孕育新闻主题,则是提高新闻稿价值的应有之义。新闻主题是一篇报道的主旨,我们写任何东西,都要有一个明确的目的,到底要表现什么、反映什么,若是心中无数,势必信笔涂鸦,不知所云。如果要反映记者对生活现象和社会问题的基本态度和看法,使写出的新闻报道吸引人、鼓舞人、引导人、就必须注重提炼新闻主题。
清代的袁枚对“主题思想”的问题讲的精彩。他把漂亮的句子比做一大堆铜钱,古代的铜钱外圆内方,可以用绳子穿起来,一串铜钱叫“一贯”,袁枚认为,文章的主题就好比是穿钱的绳子,要是没有一个明确的主题思想来统帅你的文字,那你写的东西就像撒满一地的铜钱,不能派上用场。如获得1986年全国高校校报好消息一等奖的《小郎和日本姑娘喜结良缘》(3),如果作者只是轻描淡写地描述去婚姻本身,而不是站在“为中日友谊写下了新篇章”、日本姑娘向往中国、追求自我存在价值的高度,就不会使这篇消息给人以启迪和教育,也就成不了一篇好消息。 新闻主题是整篇报道的灵魂,它隐藏于新闻素材之中,一旦我们把它发掘出来,它就会统领全篇,成为整篇报道的中心内容。我们要站在时代和社会的高度,坚持实事求是、不落俗套、贴近生活、读者至上等原则,运用追根究底法、对比联系法、见微知著法等方法,提炼和深化新闻主题。
四、虚心请教,大胆投稿是写好第一篇新闻稿的必要过程。
作为大学生记者,由于缺乏对新闻知识较为系统的学习,新闻写作经验更是微乎其微,因此,写出第一篇新闻稿难免不尽如人意。要使新闻稿基本上达到发表的水平,最学生便捷的途径,就是虚心请教、不耻下问。
一是向有一定经验的高年级记者请教。从事过一定新闻采访写作实践的高年级记者,具备了一定的新闻实践经验,能够比较有针对性地解决在校园新闻采访中存在的一些具体问题,使初学新闻的大学生记者能够少走弯路,尽快掌握新闻写作的基本技巧。且学生记者之间朝夕相处,便于接近,易于沟通,能够大大缩短新闻稿的修改时间;
一是向师长主要是校报编辑老师、新闻学专业老师和社会媒体的老师请教。校报编辑老师能够按照报纸的报道思想和基本要求,根据自己所体验的读者心理和新闻写作体验,校正和知道学生记者的新闻采访和写作。新闻专业老师则可以主要从新闻写作的一般规律和技巧上加以指导,使写出来的新闻稿更加符合新闻呢理论的要求。
社会媒体老师更是能全面的站在社会时间实践的角度来指导写作,为以后从事新闻工作大好基础。 请教的时间,可以贯穿到新闻采访写作的全过程。如何培养新闻敏感,寻找新闻线索可以请教;如何拟订采访提纲、选好新闻题材、提炼和表现新闻主题可以请教;如何使写出来的新闻更加符合新闻写作的要求,更加精彩,更应该虚心向学长、师长请教。
一篇新闻概写好后,还得大胆投稿。有的初学新闻的学生记者,或者认为自己的作品羞于出手,即使写好了,也不敢或不愿寄出去,或者总是过分要求稿子的质量,一而在,再而三的修改,结果错过了报道的时机。其实,由于校园存在范围小、易于捕捉、头绪少等特点,如果不抢时间积极投稿,就会让别人抢得先机,即使你写得再好,也只能算作又一次练笔了。 当然,大胆投稿不是盲目投稿。如果没有任何目的,打的是无准备之仗,再好的稿子也可能石沉大海。因此,作为一个大学生记者,一定要认真研究传播媒介,研究它的版式结构、专栏设置、报道风格、出版(或播出)周期甚至编辑部的人员构成、编辑姓名及联系电话等。是邮寄的,还要弄清楚通讯地址,保证所投稿件万无一失地寄到编辑部。这样一来,就可以在写稿之前,针对传播媒介的特点,引导自己的创作思路和方法,对写作内容和形式作出必要的限制;在新闻稿写好之后也能够有的放矢地投递到报纸等媒体的相应版面、专栏及编辑手中,从而大大增强新闻稿见报几率(或播出几率)。
总之,作为初学新闻的大学生记者,如何写好第一篇新闻稿是十分关键的,也不是轻而易举的事情。大学生记者只有勇于实践,大胆尝试,深入采访,勤奋笔耕,不断提高新闻采访写作的技巧,才能写出更多更好的新闻作品。
1、写作时应多使用动词,少使用形容词,使文章生动起来。
2、写作应先起标题后写文,增强文章逻辑性。
3、交稿时必须有三重标题,以题代文。
4、消息类稿件每个自然段字数不得超过100字,两个句号,给读者阅读喘息的机会。
5、文章应多用动宾词组,少用偏正词组。
6、多用祈使句,少用叙述性语句。
7、消息以细节数量取胜,不追求细节的扩展,增强消息的信息量。
8、消息的结构是——标题、导语、第一新闻事实、背景补充、第二新闻事实、事件后续事实。
9、消息应具有细节的动感,具有事实的简洁清晰,具有信息的面。
10、信息的筛选对于消息来说是非常重要的,而筛选的关键是在写作之前;起好标题,标题是筛选信息的最好尺度。
11、标题是一个记者最高文字水平的体现。记者应多加强标题制作的能力。
12、标题是文章的广告,要使文章引起读者的阅读欲。
13、采访是全身心的采访,而不仅仅是用嘴,视觉是消息动词的来源,眼睛采访是文章生动的重要手段。
14、多提封闭性问题能最大限度地提高采访效率,节省采访时间。
15、重要采访前必须有提问大纲,一次采访的成功取决于采访前的准备是否充分。
16、记者的基本功之一是“找人”,记者手里必须有一批人名单,要保证能在最短的时间、最迅速地找到最佳的采访人选。
17、不要过分使用录音机,录音机应与笔记本一起使用,录音机记录关键的话语数据观点,笔记本记录被访者的表述逻辑和被访者的表情。分工协作才可能提高采访效率。
18、采访前记者必须心中有数,将最重要的问题放在最前面。争取最大限度地缩短采访时间,避免与被采访者畅谈。
19、让文章生动起来的诀窍是多向被访者提这样的问题:“比……”;“您能举个例子吗……”;“这是不是像……”;将文章的内容引向自己相对熟悉领域。
20、要学会将复杂的问题分解成简单的提问,不要期待被访者会完整地理解你提出的问题。
21、学会滚动式采访,第一个被访者所谈到的内容,要成为下一个被访者的提问,滚动式采访将使你成为一个受到别人尊敬的采访者。
22、在专家面前不要装行家,虚心是赢得专家尊敬的唯一途径 。
23、多做深度报道,每一篇报道都将使你向专家型记者迈进一步。 24、采访批评性报道、争议性报道,必须采访当事人双方,以示客观公正。
25、电话采访目前被大量运用,但是此种采访方式也有弊病,电话采访不能视觉参与,不能确定被访者的确切身份。因此,在使用时必须慎重。电话反打是确定被访者身份的方法;通过电话让被访者描述现场细节是获得现场感的途径。作为记者,现场仍是追求的第一原则。

篇3:考场作文写作技巧--学会选好角度
全文共 356 字
+ 加入清单苏东坡的名句:"横看成林侧成峰,远近高低各不同",告诉我们善于变换角度,会见到不同的景象。文章的"变脸"在于根据题意在视角上做到寻找与选择的问题。首先是要寻找感觉和记忆,选取那些能激起写作冲动的材料。其次是选择角度,如果你对每个视角以及具体内容都掌握了,那么就可以从中选一个最适合的,反之选择的范围就极有限。
例文《头发之美》是写母爱的伟大,这类文章已有许多人写过了。但本文作者却寻找与选择了母亲头发的视角来作描写与渲染,写出了新意。你看,母亲的头发散发出柠檬草的清香,但随着岁月的流逝,黑发中冒出了白发,就如自己成长的烙印,那头发之美就蕴含在母亲是帮着撑起我世界的人,那头发间柠檬草的香味依然迷人。读罢全文,母爱的伟大是多么富有震撼力和感染力。由此可见,抓住人物的某个特征来变换视角,其表情达意的效果会迥然不同。

People attend colleges or universities for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.
Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.
Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they have been away form home by themselves. In addition, this is the first time they have had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.
Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that does not relate to their career.

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6:六年级语文满分作文写作技巧
全文共 1478 字
+ 加入清单小升初作文是同学们比较头痛的问题,语文成绩的提高是日积月累的过程,作文的写作同样注重积累。但是了解一些考成作文技巧,拿到作文的高分也是有机会的。
考场作文要创新,要出彩,切忌重复过去,切忌重复别人。只有创新才能出奇制胜,只有出彩才能感染和吸引阅卷者拿高分。那么,怎样才能写出耳目一新的考场作文呢?
第一剑式:眉目传神
文题是文章的眉目,“文好题一半”,一个好的题目,可以概括全文的内容,可以体现全文的思路,可以蕴涵全文的主旨,可以表明全文的特色,能给人清新脱俗,耳目一新的感觉,能一下子抓住读者的注意力、激发起仔细阅读的兴趣,能使文章起到眉目传神的妙用。如《扬长避短,成功之道》、《“英雄”偏到“无用武之地》,这些文题巧用成语,新颖别致。又如《“钦差大臣”请下岗》、《“李鬼”打假》,这些文题巧用名人名字,耐人寻味。再如《千里马变成推磨驴》、《岂可回族街头卖猪肉》等活用修辞给人赏心悦目的感觉。
考场作文的文题,首先必须准确,要扣准话题,不能偏题离题;其次要醒目,要紧扣文章内容,让人一看一目了然,给人耳目一新的感觉;再其次要简洁,要短小简单,能给人留下深刻的印象,能给人广阔的想象空间。常见的文题有三种类型①老实型。老老实实的采用原话题的原词句,并不多加改造。如《心灵的选择》《小议诚信》。②深化型。对原话题理解的基础上,所拟文题或明确主旨,或概括内容,或体现思路,或表明特色,如《失败是种难言的美丽》《人在旅途》。③艺术型。采用一定的修辞方法,常见的如比喻式《人生也是一张答卷》《成功之花只对挑战者绽放》,夸张式《世界很小是个家》,引用式《你不该悄悄地走开》(歌曲)《横看成岭侧成峰》(诗句),反问式《21世纪你美吗》《岂可回族街头卖猪肉》,情景式《滑铁卢上空的雄鹰》《带着三句话上路》,符号式《出发+拼搏=到达》,呼告式《妈妈,我想对你说》,对比式《英雄无用武之地与英雄有用武之地》。这三种情况以后两种为好。
第二剑式:凤头引蝶
古人写文章很讲究开头,称之“凤头”,西方的谚语也这样说:好的开头是成功的一半。
开头的方法有很多,如比喻开头法(山如眉黛,小屋恰似眉梢的痣一点。——《我的空中楼阁》)、引言开头法(鲁迅先生有两句诗:“横眉冷对千夫指,俯首甘为孺子牛。”这是他自己的写照,也是他作为伟大作家的全部人格的体现)、议论开头法(生命是一个选择的过程。在这过程中,有人“利”字为先,好处抢尽;有人“荣”字当前,虚实兼收;亦有人“德”字为重,铁肩道义。)、入物开头法(很久很久以前,也许在我的生命之树发芽的时候,我的生命之神就告诉我,我是一只火凤凰。那时幼稚的心灵无法参透凤凰的含义,长大了也是。)、写人开头法(夏日炎炎。鲁林从省城公安大学放假回家,来到A城地面,此地距离其老家梁山泊尚有一段路程,须乘班车,方可上路。)、叙事开头法(一年夏天,我和妻坐着海轮到了一个有名的岛上。——鲁彦《听潮》)、描景开头法(陌生的山花已有无数的开了。冷月下,却只见一犁春水,蓦然回首,总是充盈着泪水的双眼遥望寂灭的星空,总是随风飘动的思绪感叹树叶的凋零。——一考生《美丽一次》)、绘境开头法(十五那天,天热得发了狂。太阳刚一出来,地上已经像下了火。一些似云非云,似雾非雾的灰气低低地浮在空中,使人觉得憋气。——老舍《在烈日和暴雨下》)、定情开头法(我与父亲不相见已二年有余了,我最不能忘记的是他的背影。——朱自清《背影》)。
但究竟如何开头需要因文而定,因人而定,“文有定法,文无定法”就是这个问题。只要能够使阅卷者更好地理解和把握文章,且富有感染力和吸引力,就是成功的文章开头。
篇7:关于提高英语写作能力的方法
全文共 1772 字
+ 加入清单在英语教学中,培养学生听、说、读、写的能力是相辅相成的。经常练习写作,可以巩固和发展听说能力 ,还可以促进阅读能力的提高。写作能促使学生勤复习、多思考。通过对一词一句反复推敲,有助于提高使用 语言的准确性。学习用英语写作是培养英语思维能力的重要途径之一,有了一定的英语思维能力,英语学习就 能产生一个相应的飞跃。因此,在高中阶段指导、培养学生写英语作文是不容等闲视之的。
用英语解释生词,为学生打好写作基础。教师应创造语言环境,通过耳濡目染、潜移默化,培养用英语思 维的习惯。在教每课的单词和词组时,要尽量用学生学过的单词、词组进行解释。刚开始时,可由教师用英语 解释生词,后来可让学生根据汉语释意,用自己学过的单词、词组解释。这样,经过一段时间的训练,学生的 英语思维能力就会有所提高,为英语写作打下较好的基础。在作文时,如果不知道某个东西的英语表达方式而 又无词典可查,这时学生就会用其释义来代替,如用“a person who nakes clothes”来代替“atailor”, 这虽不完全符合英语语言习惯,但对初学写作的高中生来说还是值得鼓励的。
通过缩写和改写课文,培养学生的英语概括能力。缩写课文会激励学生去认真钻研课文内容,有助于加深 学生对课文的理解,提高学生归纳总结和进行简要表达的能力。缩写课文允许改动原意,不允许删去主要内容 。缩写课文一般应该用自己的话来写,不能只停留在拼凑原文的词句上,也不要逐句、逐段照原文去改写。这 些均通过示例让学生明白和掌握,并在实践中让他们仔细加以体会。改写课文可以培养学生举一反三的语言表 达能力,熟练掌握英语表达方法,促使学生去钻研、去思考,调动学习的积极性,学生把学过的知识运用到实 际中去,这对于提高英语水平大有裨益。改写,除了我们通常所说的句子、段落的释义之外,还包括用其他体 裁改写整篇课文。如高中英语第一册第三课短剧“The Lost Necklace”可改写为记叙文。有的课文,如高中英 语第一册“The Blind Men And The Elephant”和第十课“At A Tailors Shop”等,就可以让学生改写成短 剧,并让他们在班上表演。有的课文故事是第三人称叙述的,如“The Footprint”,就可以让学生用第一人称 加以改写,使他们身临其境,自由发挥。这样可创造情景,促使他们“下笔如有神”。
以多题材、多形式的自由作文训练,加强意念功能的培养。经过一段时间的缩写和改写的笔头训练之后, 学生对写作有了一定的基础和兴趣,就可以放手让他们进行多种题材的自由作文训练,使学生在自由表达思想 和内心感受中,加强意念功能培养。(1) 练习写周记日记是培养学生英语自由写作能力的第一步。写周记日记 ,学生不受内容和经验的限制,可就熟悉的题材,充分发挥自己的想象力,自由表达。(2) 看图作文新颖活泼 ,能激发学生英语写作的积极性。可以用流传较广的传说、故事作图,让学生写记叙文。比如画几幅老鼠商议 给猫挂铃铛的图,让学生以“The cat and the bell”作文。也可画一幅漫画,让学生写简易议论文。如画一 幅之人向三个方向划一条小船,让学生写出情景加以评论,并命题。(3) 作文可由教师统一命题,也可由学生 自由命题。命题作文要注意先易后难,开始让学生写一些自己熟悉、易于表达的题材。如:“Our School”、 “My Family”、“A Letter To Somebody”、“ARepectable Teacher”、“Life In Summer Vacation”等。 在此基础上,提高一步,写一些较难的题目。如:My Idea, Money And Happiness等。刚开始练习命题作文写作 时,可让学生课外完成,规定交作文日期即可。经过一段时间后,可要求他们在课堂上完成,借以培养他们的 思考能力,提高快速写作的能力。
通过讲评帮助学生逐步掌握写作要领。作文批阅应与课堂讲评相结合,一方面在班上朗诵优秀作文,说明 其好在哪里。另一方面要分析各种典型错误,尤其是汉式英语,务必通过讲译,使学生进一步了解错误产生的 原因,以及如何纠正。为了加深印象,避免讲评中烦琐指点,最好对各种错误进行分类整理,教师应注意分类 的合理性和系统性。

篇9:高考满分作文写作技巧
全文共 2473 字
+ 加入清单1、充分发挥自己的优势。认识水平高、擅长理性思维的同学可选择议论文,擅长形象思维、会刻画人物的同学可选择微型小说,擅长抒情的同学可选择散文。
2、临场写作时可以根据题意和你的表达需要想像一个或一类读者就在你的面前。如以“沟通”为话题作文,写与家长的沟通,可想像父母就在身边;写“沟通”之艰难和必要,就好像误解过你的人正在听你倾诉;写国际间通过沟通走向合作,就设想自己参与了国与国的谈判。即使所写文章没有明确的阅读对象,你也可以想像此文是写给你的语文老师的。你要知道,你的文章的惟一读者是那位跟你的语文老师非常相似的人。写记叙文,且最好将主人公设定为自己。想想阅卷老师的喜好,说他们想听的话。尽可能赢得评卷老师的同情。
3、写法上可以求新。要考虑,怎样表现更智慧,更艺术,更有可读性;但更要求稳。我的意见是大家一定要在一种比较稳的情况下,确有把握时才可写小小说或者是写戏剧,或者是写别的,确有把握之后才写这种文体,如果没有把握的话,就选择比较稳妥的老的文体,老的写法。
4、不可按上年或前几年的高考作文思路行文。求新、求变是人们所追求的,高考作文也不例外。但若按上年或前几年的高考作文思路行文,甚至拿来套用,机械模仿,不懂灵活应变,就会吃力不讨好,这也是失分的点。因为阅卷者大都是相对固定的,对以前的高考作文非常熟悉。不主张写诗歌、文言文。
5、苦于材料缺乏则可以突出自己的爱好。你如果喜欢体育,那你就像体育记者一样,叙体育、议体育,只要切合题意就好。你如果喜欢听××的歌、看××的书、爱好上网……你就可以将自己这一方面的经历和感受与命题联系起来。那样就不愁内容贫乏、文思枯竭。不要瞎编乱造。靠编故事骗取老师的眼泪从而获得高分的时代已经一去不复返了。
6、要美化自己,而不是丑化自己。要显现自己的高境界、大抱负、多知识、同情心,要显现自己以天下为己任的豪情。不要出于反衬别人等考虑而故意丑化自己,如果让评卷老师以为你真就是那样,那就麻烦了,因为高考是选拔性考试。从某个角度讲,评卷老师评卷的过程就是一个选择淘汰对象的过程。
7、字数以900字左右为宜。不能给人凑字数的感觉,但也不能拖得太长,不允许加纸条。许欢写长文的同学,开篇要注意不要放得太开,开口不要太大,能跳过去的就跳过去,要相信读者的理解能力。要注意节省篇幅,要防止高潮来了没地方写了。切忌三段文。要突出的句子(扣题的、表现主旨的、文眼、点睛之笔、抒情议论、议论文的分论点等)最好单独成段。
8、文章要有一至两个亮点。如果是记叙文,应该用抓人的情节和生动的描写表现你的真情,记叙文不能没有描写。如果是议论文,就一定要有1--2个典型的论据,就应该有纵横捭阖,很深刻的见解。如果是微型小说一定要有巧妙的构思。这个亮点还可以是一句富有哲理的警句,也可以是一个精彩的比喻,也可以是一个超常的搭配(酽酽的歌喉)。总之,要能使评卷老师精神为之一震。
9、行文中要多次扣题,要一路扣题一路歌。材料、引语和话题中的相关文字至少在文中出现三次以上。开头三句话内应点题一次,结尾应回扣标题,“回眸一笑百媚生”。中间至少扣题一次。几次扣题事实上也是在不断地提醒自己不要跑题。有球场上叫暂停的效果,可以调整思路和写法。
10、思想要健康。“思想健康”不是说要你只说冠冕堂皇的话,不是要你刻意拔高,“健康”是针对“病态”、“庸俗”而言的,它的底线是不能欣赏违背法律法规和偏离社会道德的事。恋爱题材是考场作文的禁区,无论考生写得如何缠绵悱恻,真挚动人,因其行为是中学生日常行为规范所不允许的,这类作文自然得不了高分。
11、观点不可太绝对,要留有余地。“义正”未必要“辞严”,“理直”未必就要“气壮”。联系现实生活时,涉及社会黑暗面时,要有分寸,不要一味指责。“质问京山大冤案”。批评家长、老师和社会要与人为善,抱着协商与治病救人的态度,要提建设性意见。不可尖刻、讽刺、挖苦,甚至恶意地进行人身攻击。
12、看到题目后,可先搜索一下自己以往所写的优秀作文,看有没有可以再利用的。需要注意的是一定要不牵强。
13、精写前几段,给评卷老师留下一个好印象。要精雕细刻,要出彩。比如,可开门见山,直奔主题;可制造悬念,引人入胜;可提出问题,引人注意;或巧用排比、比喻、拟人等修辞手法,或巧述故事,引人入胜,或巧用题记,揭示主旨,或巧用诗文显诗意。写好结尾和过渡段。阅卷老师一般是S型的扫描全文。结尾可画龙点睛,发人深思;或总结全文,照应开头;或虚笔拓展,扩大容量;或精辟议论,深化主旨。
14、要给自己充足的构思时间,不要急于动笔。“宁停三分,不争一秒”,因为写作是“开弓没有回头箭”的,写到一半,突然发现,呀,把题目理解错了,或没领会好命题的要求。最可怕的是文章写到一半,又想另起炉灶。时间没了,心情也坏了,干着急。建议打草稿,防止“三边工程”(边立项,边设计,边施工)。考场作文不宜见异思迁,边写边改。要贯彻一种构思。一旦构思已定,就不要轻易改变。
15、要力避前松后紧、虎头蛇尾。有些同学构思、提纲拟好后,开头反复推敲,精雕细琢,后来发现时间不够,于是草草收兵。此外,要谨慎对待修改。今年实行网上评卷,更应慎重。修改一般只着眼于字词方面的,可用米尺比好之后划两横。结构方面不能修改。要保持卷面的整洁美观,要努力做到改动少而效果好。
16、如果偏题或者离题,作文的主要分数就失去了。为防止跑题,可从如下几点做出努力:一是将材料、引语和话题联系起来思考,不可单看话题;二是看自己确立的观点能否用话题所给材料来证明;三是想一想这则材料当初发在媒体上登载是要达到一个什么效果的。万一跑题了,要考虑逆挽,使文章形成一种欲扬先抑的结构形态。
17、一定要完篇。熟话说,好文章是风头、猪肚、豹尾。没有豹尾,老鼠尾巴也要有一个,绝不能写半头文。用半篇文章给你评分,怎么会得高分?
18、要重视拟题,特别要注意不能缺题。不是万不得已,不要以话题做标题。张伟民讲那是一种浪费。拟题是显示你才气的一个好的平台,不能轻易放弃。缺题影响远不止2分。正好给了评卷老师扣分的理由。
篇10:写作方法和技巧有哪些
全文共 6248 字
+ 加入清单写作要不要学习写作方法和技巧?我们不妨先看看古今大家的观点。梁代文艺理论家刘勰认为写作是有"术"的,他说:"文场笔苑,有术有门。务先大体,鉴必穷源。"(《文心雕龙·总述》)他还说:"执术驭篇,似善弈之穷数;弃术任心,如博塞之邀遇。"由此看来,刘勰是非常看重"执术"。他所谓"术",就是为文之"法",强调了研究掌握"术"(写作方法)的重要性。没有写作技法想获得成功,就像赌博一样,只能靠运气。
写作方法和技巧
1.阅读优秀的作品:这是显而易见的,但立竿见影的方法。
如果你不读更多的好作品,你就不知道如何写出更好的作品。
优秀的作家都是从阅读别人的佳作开始,接着开始模仿,最后超越他们,形成自己的风格。
尽可能的多读名著,在看内容的时候,更要留意文章的问题和写作的技巧。
2.尽可能多的写:每天都写,如果可能话,每天写几次。
你写得多了,也就写得好了。
学习如何写作和其他的学问道理是一样的,熟能生巧。
写写你自己,写写博客,向出版社投稿。
只是写,全情投入的写,练得越多,你的写作水平就提升得越快。
3.随时随地记下你的灵感:随身带一本小笔记本(纳博科夫身上装满了小卡片),当你对你构思的小说,文章,或是小说里的人物有什么灵感的时候,马上记下来。
当你听别人谈话时的只言片语而所有顿悟时,或看到一段散文诗或是一句歌词让你很感动时,都可以马上当他们记下来。
灵感总是转瞬即逝,你及时的记录下来,便可以成为你写作的素材。
我的习惯是,为我的博客要写的文章列一个清单,不断的补充它。
4.专门的写作时间:每天找一个没有任何打扰的时间段作为专门的写作时间,让这成为习惯。
对我而言,清晨的时间是最佳的,午饭,傍晚,或者深夜的那段时间也可以。
无论你是做什么工作的,把写作当作每天必须完成的任务去做。
每天至少写半个小时,当然有一个小时更好。
若你同我一样,是一个全职的作家,那么你需要写更多的小时,请你不要担心,这只会让你写得更好。
5.随便涂鸦:面对整张的白纸,整版的白屏,无从开始,肯定恐怖。
你会想:我还是看看邮件或是小憩一会了吧!先生,千万别这样。
马上开始写,马上打字,你写什么没有关系,只是让我听到你敲键盘的声音吧。
只要你开始写了,什么都好办了。
像我的话,我喜欢先敲上我的名字和文章的标题,这应该不难吧,然后再慢慢的展开情节,全身心地融入进去…关键是:开始可以随便写写,随便涂鸦,但是尽快开始写正文。
6.集中精神:写作是一件一心一意的事情,在嘈杂的环境或是同时干着别的事情,是不可能写好的。
写作需要一个安静的环境,需要一点点柔和的背景音乐。
即使是最低要求,你也需要在全屏(没有其他软件得干扰)的条件下,使用WriteRoom, DarkRoom,Writer这些写作软件,不受打扰的写作。
关掉邮箱,关点MSN和Gtalk,关掉电话和手机,关掉电视,清理掉书桌上无用的东西。
清除与写作无关的一切杂念,现在就是写作的时间,好像把自己放进一个盒子里,在没有任何打扰下进入写作状态。
7.先计划,再写: 这好像和“随便涂鸦”有些矛盾,实际上不是这样。
在坐下来正式写之前,先做个计划或是脑子里先预演一下,这是非常管用的办法。
每天跑步的时候想想要写的东西,或是散步的时间来个头脑风暴;然后把想到的记下来,做一个扼要的提纲;等真正准备好开始写了,可以很快的展开,因为思路和想法都有了。
这里,有一个构思小说的三部曲,可以参考这个:Snowflake Method.
8.创新: 你需要模仿名家,这并不意味你要跟他们写得一模一样。
你可以试试新的写法,从这里学一点,从那里学一点。
渐渐地,你就会有了自己的风格,自己的文体,自己的思路。
试试一些不一样的表达,或创造一些与众不同的表达方式,每一方法你都可以尝试,看看它到底怎么样,不好就不用呗。
9.修改: 你开始构思你的文字,然后试着写,让故事情节展开,最后你需要回过头再看看你都写了什么。
这点很重要,很多写手一旦写好就不想修改,已经费时费力地写好了,还要再花时间修改,实在是一件吃力不讨好的活。
但如果你想写得更好,你就要学会如何修改。
好的作品是经过反复的推敲和修改而成的,这会让你的作品从平庸中脱颖而出。
看看你写的东东,不仅仅是那些拼写和语法错误,还有那些无意义的词,混乱的结构,和让人搞不懂的句子。
修改的目标是:更清晰,更直接,更鲜活。
10.简明扼要: 这是你在修改的过程中,最重要的一件事情。
一句句,一段段的修改,把无关主题的统统都删掉。
一个短句比一段冗长的废话更具说服力,大白话比晦涩的专业术语更受欢迎。
记得:简单就是力量。
11.富于感染力的句子:在短句中使用富有感染力的动词,当然,并没有要求每一句都是这样,你需要变化。
但是,多试试能够吸引人的句子。
而且,你没有必要等到你要修改的时候再用,你刚开始写的时候就要考虑这个问题。
12.获取别人的反馈: 闭门造车不会有任何进步,让别人读读你的文章给你回馈,最好有经验的作家和编辑。
他们见多识广,会给你很中肯和有见地的建议。
认真的听,即使是一些批评,也接受它,忠言逆耳,这样只会让你写得更好。
13.是骡子还是马,拉出来溜溜:就你而言,你需要让别人读到你的作品。
你的作品不是你想谁看谁就看的,让所有的人都读到你的文章。
你就要出版自己的书,发表自己的短篇小说和诗歌,给出版社供稿。
如果你已经开始写博客了,恭喜你,这是一个好的开始。
若现在还没有人浏览过,你就需要把它放到流量更大的博客服务网站上去,让读者给你留言,给你提出建议。
所有的人都会看你写东西,也许刚开始时会是件伤脑筋的事情,但这是每一位作家成长的必由之路,马上发表你的文字吧。
14.采用对话式的文体: 很多人的写作都很正式,但是我发现像我们说话一样写作会使文章更流畅(没有叹生词)。
这样一来,读者看起来会更舒服。
刚开始这么写并不容易,你需要坚持这么做。
也许,会带来另一个问题,为了读起来更口语化,你需要打破一些语法规则(就像我的前一句那样)。
因为如果生搬硬套语法,会让你的文章看起来很不自然。
若没有其他原因,就不要破坏语法规则。
你需要知道你在做什么和为什么这样做。
15.好开头和结尾: 开头和结尾是文章的重点。
特别是开头。
如果你不能在故事的开始就吸引读者,那他们就很难有耐心把整篇文章读完。
所以投入更多的时间去考虑怎么写好开头,读者一旦对你开头感兴趣,他们会想知道得更多...写好开头后,再弄一个精彩的结尾,这会让读者更加期待你的下一篇佳作。
写作结尾小技巧
技法1:卒章显志法
【例1】亲情是一种动力,它能让你走进“独上高楼,望尽天涯路”的境界;能让你拥有“衣带渐宽终不悔,为伊消得人憔悴”的执著;能让你品味“报得三春晖”的快乐。
作者以诗意的语言解读亲情的内涵,揭示亲情的力量,把亲情的魅力展示得情感飞扬。卒章显志,主旨鲜明。
【例2】“无论在人生中会遇到什么样的困难,永远都不会放弃,做一个生活的强者!”——这就是我的承诺。(中考作文《这是我的承诺》的结尾)
在文章的结尾,作者非常明确地表达出“我的承诺”的内容,既紧扣文题,又揭示出文章的主旨,可谓卒章显志,曲终奏雅。而且,这一句饱含激情、掷地有声的话语,显示出作者坚强的决心、豪迈的气概,可爱,可敬。
技法2:藏而不露法
【例1】母亲坐在桌前开始吃我为她煮的那碗寿面,我也坐在一边看着她。忽然,我看见两颗晶莹的泪珠滑落在碗里。我问:“妈妈你怎么啦?”母亲抬起了头,哭了。(中考作文《妈妈的生日》的结尾)
文章结尾的描写藏而不露,字里行间流露出母亲因孩子的懂事、“长大”而幸福得落泪的欣慰之情。
江苏省南通市的中考作文《天籁——记一次蛙鸣》,小作者从“独鸣”、“散鸣”、“齐鸣”等多个角度描写了不易捕捉的蛙声,使之诗意化、人格化。并且在“齐鸣”中,议论、抒情与感悟人生相协调,点出文旨“唱出生命的赞歌”。
最让人欣赏的是文章的结尾:“倾听,心听。欣赏,心赏。”它运用了谐音双关的手法,道出文章“倾听”的特质——人与自然的对话与沟通。这个精练而又耐人寻味的结尾,把读者引入一个无限广阔的空间,让读者去感悟,去遐想!
技法3:画龙点睛法
【例1】春天像刚落地的娃娃,从头到脚都是新的,它生长着。
春天像小姑娘,花枝招展的,笑着,走着。
春天像健壮的青年,有铁一般的胳膊和腰脚,领着我们上前去。(课文《春》的结尾)
作者用比喻突出了春天三个特点:新、美丽、有力量,从全新的角度以精辟的语言,总结了全文,揭示了文章的主题。
【例2】马克思的一生,是光辉的一生,也是刻苦学习的一生。他的勤奋学习的精神,是永远值得我们学习的。(《马克思的好学精神》一文的结尾)
结尾对马克思的一生作了概括的、高度的总结,并且点明了题旨。
【例3】朋友,别忘了,做人要从学会说“不”开始,对于失败,对于挫折,对于侮辱,对于强权,要勇敢地说“不”。(2007年山东省青岛市中考作文《做人从学会说“不”开始》)
结尾既总结了全文,也点明了文章的主旨。
技法4:抒情议论法
【例1】我望着这群充满朝气的哈尼小姑娘和那洁白的梨花,不由得想起了一句诗:“驿路梨花处处开”。(课文《驿路梨花》的结尾)
结尾抒发了作者赞颂雷锋精神已成为每个人的自觉行动的情怀。
【例2】亲爱的朋友们,当你坐上早晨第一列电车驰向工厂的时候,当你……他们确实是我们最可爱的人!(课文《谁是最可爱的人》的结尾)
不仅充分表达了作者对志愿军战士的爱和赞颂之情,而且对读者有强烈的感染作用。
【例3】是啊!做人要从学会放弃开始。放弃,是我心中一首永恒的诗;放弃,是我生活中一曲五彩的歌;放弃,让我心中的天堑变通途。(2007年山东省青岛市中考作文《做人从学会放弃开始》)
作者用诗一般的语言抒发了自己对“放弃”的深深理解和感悟。
技法5:警世醒目法
【例1】动物是我们的朋友,但是却有很多人把它们作为美食。他们虽然大饱口福了,但被吃掉的却是中国和谐的自然环境,更是生态平衡啊!想到这些,我茫然了:我们在吃中国?我们在吃中国!(2007年江苏省扬州市中考作文《吃在中国?在吃中国!》)
小作者高瞻远瞩,告诉世人:你们是在吃中国啊!这是多么警世醒目的语言啊。
【例2】但是,一切已太迟了,太迟了……(《当地球剩下最后一只猴子》)
作者通过地球上最后一只猴子的自述,大胆而真实地幻想了人类是如何一步步走上灭绝之路的。触目惊心的恶果字字千钧,具有震聋发聩、撼人心魄的警世醒目之力。
技法6:设问存疑法
【例1】人之立志,顾不如蜀鄙之僧哉?(课文《为学》的结尾)
以问号作结,寓浓烈的感情于朴素的文字之中,发人深省,给人以深刻的印象。
【例2】“从这么一个开端,这么一个结局里,聪明人难道看不出道理来吗?”(《金融家》的结尾)
采用了反问的形式,这就使结尾不仅深刻有力,而且耐人寻味。
【例3】有一篇中考优秀作文《简单与不简单》,在列举了种种“简单与不简单”的现象,分析了“简单与不简单”的辩证关系之后,文章结尾时,作者写道:
我们每个人的身上都同时有着简单和不简单,问题是我们该追求什么样的简单和不简单。朋友,你说呢?
作者巧妙地提出了“该追求什么样的简单和不简单”的严肃的命题,引发读者思考,启示人们作出正确的抉择,追求有意义的人生。作者尽管没有明说,但引人深思,催人警醒。
技法7:添加后记法
【例1】后记:携反省一起上路,才能在上帝关上门后,发现他留出的另一扇窗。(2007年河北省中考作文《携反省一起上路》)
作者用这个后记使文章新人耳目,画龙点睛,发人深省。
【例2】如中考作文《鲁迅先生,只有一个》的后记:先生正等着我们走出浮华的海面,款款地步入他的心房,与他进行灵魂深处的交流!
在文章的主体部分,作者通过比较尽显鲁迅及其作品的非凡价值,表现出对社会冷落鲁迅的愤慨,进而呼吁我们去亲近和阅读鲁迅及其作品。而后记部分则换了一个角度,以鲁迅先生的视角,呼吁我们与他交流,使文章进一步敲击着读者的心扉,从而走近鲁迅。可以说,这一段后记,堪成画龙点睛之笔,与文章的主体部分互为补充,相得益彰。
技法8:出乎意料法
这种结尾不是按照故事情节的通常逻辑来处理人物的结局,而是用意想不到的结局来安排人物的最终命运,而且在这时候戛然而止,让人在目瞪口呆之余,不禁感叹作者的奇思妙想、生活的荒谬诡谲。如大家熟知的《麦琪的礼物》的结尾就非常出人意料,大大增强了小说的艺术感染力,被称为欧·亨利式结尾。
技法9:首尾呼应法
【例】
[首]都说生活的船不能没有理想的帆,都说生活的理想就是为了理想的生活,而理想的生活中最快乐的时光,便是梦想的花季。
[尾]花季中,我希望自己能永远记住先哲的那句良训:生活的船不能没有理想的帆,生活的理想就是为了理想的生活。
技法10:景物烘托法
如中考满分作文《雨中品读》结尾:风停了,暴雨也结束了,太阳重新露出了笑容。隔在两代人之间的那扇玻璃也被雨后的那片残阳熔化了。太阳在远处逐渐隐去,消失在一片晚霞中,两者混为一体,没有距离。
技法11:引用诗句法
如中考满分作文《生活,使我懂得了放弃》的结尾:“野芳发而幽香,佳木秀而繁阴,风霜高洁,水落而石出”,15年来,生活让我懂得了放弃!为了我的理想,为了更多的人可以读书,我必须放弃!
技法12:展望未来法
即在叙述现状之后,结尾展望未来,鼓舞人心,激励斗志。这样的结尾应紧扣题目,照应开头,衔接文章的重点和主体,不仅能引起读者对全文的回味,加深对文章中心思想的印象,而且会使读者受到启发和鼓舞。
写作时要注意,如果文章开头是点明中心,结尾一般采用展望未来的方法,同时,展望的内容一定要与文章的中心思想有关,切忌生搬硬套。
技法13:虚实错位法
每当夜间疲倦,正想偷懒时,仰面在灯光中瞥见他黑瘦的面貌,似乎正要说出抑扬顿挫的话来,便使我忽又良心发现,而且增加勇气了,于是点上一支烟,再继续写些为“正人君子”之流所深恶痛疾的文字。(课文《藤野先生》的结尾)
文章借幻像使虚实错位,把实有的感受抽象化,从而提升作品的格调,这就是使用虚实错位法的结尾。
也可借梦境使虚实错位,如《荔枝蜜》的结尾:“这天夜里,我做了个奇怪的梦,梦见自己变成了一只小蜜蜂。”通过写梦,将文章的寓意推到更高层次,深化了主题,升华了意境。
技法14:留白拓展法
路过幸福,让我感到生命的可贵;路过幸福,让我感到生活的充实;路过幸福,让我感到人生的快乐。朋友,请放缓你的脚步,睁大你的眼睛,敞开你的胸怀……
这是中考满分作文《路过幸福》一文的结尾,采用抒情性的留白,拓展文意,让人回想。留白拓展法就是在作文的结尾有意留下一定的空白,让读者在意犹未尽的氛围中发挥想象,荡开思绪。除抒情性留白,也可设疑留白,如中考满分文《哈哈镜中的我》:
何必要让自己狭小的视角不公正地评价一个人、伤害一个人,何必要熄灭风中的烛光,何必要让所有的孩子都成为一个模子里刻出来的无个性的模型?
以问句结束,余音绕梁,启迪读者进行思考,深化了文章的内涵。
技法15:再现情境法
我在朦胧中,眼前展开一片海边碧绿的沙地来,上面深蓝的天空中挂着一轮金黄的圆月。我想:希望是本无所谓有,无所谓无的。这正如地上的路;其实地上本没有路,走的人多了,也便成了路。(课文《故乡》的结尾)
结尾处再现优美的情境,既是对前文的照应,也是对作品主旨的强调,表达了鲁迅对踏出希望之路的信心。
也可用典型的形象再现,如《背影》的结尾:
我读到此处,在晶莹的泪光中,又看见那肥胖的,青布棉袍,黑布马褂的背影。唉!我不知何时再能与他相见。
再现父亲买橘背影,真切感人,引起读者强烈共鸣。
篇11:2024考研英语高分作文写作方法
全文共 951 字
+ 加入清单对于作文这一部分来说,大家应该首先了解不同文章的特点和规律,下面是小编整理的2017考研英语高分作文写作方法,欢迎阅读。
一、了解意图,抓住精髓
近年来的大作文非常玄妙,值得细品。首先,很可能大作文正在经历由时事向哲理过渡的重大变革,这在2001年、2002年、2004年、2007年、2009和2010年真题上表现得最为明显。其次,出题人将尽量用图画来表达意图,而不借助或少借助图中或图旁的文字,这样意义表达的会更深刻,对考生的思考力和判断力的要求也就更高。第三,图画的含义深刻,可以接受的解释也较多,但要想取得高分,必须紧扣图画,把握住其中的精髓,最深刻地表达其核心的意义。
二、扣紧主题
写大作文时切记要扣紧主题,切不可离题太远,导致最后回不来或时间不够写不完。另外,各部分之间的比例应适当,第一段不要太长。与主题相关的关键词语一定要用对,否则会影响分数。
三、看清要求
有的同学一看到写“网络”,就立即联想到这方面最火爆的话题“网络成瘾”,将主题确定为此。有的同学干脆将之转变为自己看到过的文章——“网络的利与弊”。这些都是不正确的做法。写大作文时,首先要减少语言的错误,提高语言的准确性。语言错误有许多种,有的是小错误,甚至可以忽略不计,而有些是大错误,是让老师看到后不得不扣分的错误。另一方面就是增加闪光点,除了结构清晰外,闪光点主要指好的词、词组或句型,一是使用恰当,二是要有变换。上述这两点都不容易,而结合起来就更难了。如果文章分为三段,那么起始段、结尾段和中间段落的开始部分是非常关键的。对于背诵的好词、词组和句型,一定要和具体的行文联系起来,融入到文章中去,不仅要用对,还要用好,避免给人突兀的感觉。
四、避免投机取巧
近年来,有些考生有投机的心理,结果却很惨烈。有的考生准备了万能模板,直接往上套,这样的效果并不好。正如有的较为激进的阅卷老师所说,这些考生是想通过不诚实的手段得到不属于他的东西,这样的人应该得到惩罚。实际上这些考生中有的水平还不错,如果坚持依靠自己,咬紧牙关奋力拼搏的话,结果会是不错的。
综上所述,对于作文这一部分来说,大家应该首先了解不同文章的特点和规律,而后用心地学习范文并进行模仿,然后练习全文写作并请老师批改再细细揣摩。相信通过这样的过程,大家的写作一定会有长足的进步。
篇12:英语四级写作的应对方法
全文共 1223 字
+ 加入清单写作包括两部分,一是要求在35分钟内写一篇150字左右的短文,二是要求在10分钟内写一个50--60字的便条。这两部分均为命题作文,作文内容与大学生的日常生活、学习都密切相关,另外也有社会热点问题,比如环保、旅游、健身等,题目理解起来都比较容易。
短文写作部分文体为议论文,一般采用三段式的结构,第一段为论点,第二段为论据,第三段为结论。最高要求为文章内容切题,思想表达清楚,论据充分,论证严密,基本无语言错误。要想写好一篇文章,应该注意一下写作步骤:
1.审题:作文评分的第一个要求就是内容切题,因此审题特别关键。专业四级作文都是命题作文,而且多有中文提示或提纲,所以你首先应了解命题的基本要求,理解题目的真正意图,然后确定提纲中的关键词及各要点间的逻辑,整理自己的思路,对自己所想到的内容进行组织和全面安排。尤其对要讨论的问题,该涉及的内容,所需的事实、例证、阐述、说明和总结等,在头脑中形成一个整体的构思。
2.组织段落:构思好之后,根据构思的提纲,运用选好的材料,恰当地运用连词,合理安排段落,使文章条理清楚、内容连贯。段落的组织主要是通过扩展句对主题句的支持或说明来进行的。各段的主题句在审题构思时就应基本形成,主题句确定下来,接着就是通过一系列的扩展句,来说明、论证或阐述主题句的思想。常见的段落展开方法有列举、举例、比较和对比、因果、叙述、归类、下定义等,考试时应灵活运用。
3.修改:也就是说要删除与主题不相干的内容,检查句子时态、语态等。特别应注意单词的正确拼写;字母大小写和标点符号;数的一致性(包括主语与谓语以及名词与其限定语的单复数一致性);指代关系(包括指代的一致性和代词的选用);动词形式(时态、语态、语气)等方面。
关于考试过程中短文写作的时间分配问题。我们知道,短文写作的时间为35分钟, 要力争写完写好, 这就要求考生做到有条不紊,忙而不乱,充分发挥自己应有的水平。建议按照如下的方案分配时间: 审题1~2分钟;组织素材, 细节和关键词: 4~5分钟;起草: 20~25分钟;修改定稿: 4~5分钟。
最后要说明的是,从某种意义上来说,专业四级考试作文有其固定的写作格式、结构,而对于固定的题型,有固定不变的表达法。因此,大家有理由相信只要训练方法得当,搞好写作是不难的。大家不妨试试多背范文和常用句型,包括各类型作文的开头、结尾句、中间展开、过渡句,以及比较、图表说明等的常用句型和表达法,然后自己多动笔写一写,只要按这样的方法进行练习,相信在一定时间内就可以在写作上取得满意的分数。因为是三段式作文,写作的时候一定注意第一段提出的论点要简洁明了,开门见山;第二段的论据要能充分说明论点,论证条理清楚;第三段的结论要水到渠成,切忌草率,严谨完整的结尾是取得高分的保证。
便条写作最主要的是注意格式正确,交待清楚,比如请柬、贺信、道歉函等,要注意称呼、正文、签名等的格式,一定要把相关的时间、地点、原因及主要事件内容交待清楚。

篇14:中考创新作文的写作技巧
全文共 1047 字
+ 加入清单创新是作文的生命。尤其是面对“开放型”的话题作文,谁最有创新意识,能写出有新意的文章,谁就能取胜。我们要想写出闪烁着个性光彩、具有创新精神的作文,就需要打破框框,争取“自由”。要善于用自己的眼睛去观察,用自己的头脑去思考,用自己的心灵去感悟。写作内容也要力求广泛,文章形式力求开放。那如何做到创新呢?
一:创新从下面四方面入手:
1、材料创新。材料不新鲜不富于个性化特征,是很难创意出新的。因而创意话题作文的选材要着眼当代,紧贴现实,坚持只选新的,不选旧的;只选具体的,不选空泛的。总之,要尽量避开常人之所选,慧眼独具,以新制胜。
2、立意出新。立意是一篇文章的灵魂。要使立意充满个性,充满创意,可从下面两方面着手。
①突破习惯性思维。
我们常用蜡烛比喻老师,用蜜蜂象征劳动者,写春雨总要联系长辈的温暖,这些立意公式“历史悠久”,千篇一律,僵化陈旧,禁锢了学生的创造性思维,扼杀了学生的个性,给学生作文的立意带来了不少负面影响。所以我们切不可鹦鹉学舌、人云亦云,应多一点对习惯性思维的突破。要善于从不经意的生活小事中,开掘出不平凡的新意,点化出耐人寻味的内涵。
②巧妙选择立意的角度。
在立意的角度上,可以单向突破(写好某一主旨),可以多向出击(巧妙糅合几方面的主题),可以正面着墨,也可以反面敷粉。如以“雪”为话题,大多数考生立意“赞雪”,赞雪的“洁白无瑕”“大公无私”,这种思维是单一的正向思维,并无新意。而有一个考生逆向思维,立意“贬雪”,揭露雪的虚伪(掩盖了事实、见不得阳光)、凶恶(依仗狂风、不可一世)、冷酷(千山枯寂、万木萧条)和懦弱(任人践踏),这样的立意就很新颖。可见,善于选择新的角度思考,往往能出奇制胜。
3、构思出新。同样的立意、选材,得分有时也会因表现形式的优劣而有高低之分。因而作文要升格,就要根据自己的写作特长,优先考虑选用一般考生少用的文章形式,如书信、日记、寓言、童话、小小说、诗歌、科幻故事、戏剧小品等,这样会使你的文章脱颖而出。如果写三大文体,也要尽可能使形式新些,比如,写记叙文可以设计富有吸引力的小标题;写说明文,可以用第一人称的拟人手法;写议论文,论点的提炼多用发散思维。这样写出的文章就会给入耳目一新之感。
4、语言出新。语言是思维的外壳,是情感的载体。我们要力求写出富有个性特色的文章,用富有生气的语言生动地表达自己的感受。或幽默,或活泼,或诗意,或深沉,都是可取的。
综上所述,无论是选材、立意,还是构思、语言,都应该努力创新。只有创新,才能写出新颖、深刻的文章来。
篇15:2024年小升初作文指导:作文写作九大得分技巧
全文共 1803 字
+ 加入清单考试作文中,一般都是由考生自己来拟定题目,题目不宜太长和太短。小编收集了作文写作九大得分技巧,请大家参考。
一、作文成绩看字迹,得分要素是第一
这一点,所有的同学们一定要掌握明白了。任何形式的作文考试,阅卷老师打分时,第一眼,看的是字迹。因此,写作文必须要把字写好。记住,考作文考的是内容,而不是书法,切忌字迹潦草。
二、考试作文五六段,干净整洁看卷面
考试作文中,要注意及时分段,三四个段落显得少了,八九个段落,显得琐碎了些。除非有特殊情况,段落以五六个段落为好。此外,卷面一定要整洁,不要涂改得乱七八糟。我的看法是,考试作文每段最好别超过5行,顶多是5行半。切忌一段都八九行,写成“大肚子作文”。一旦给阅卷老师视觉上的疲劳,影响他的心理,分数就受影响。如果有必要,死拉硬拽也要注意分段。
三、开头结尾要简练,最好首尾两行半
除了切忌大肚子作文外,“大头作文”也要不得。建议考生在写作文的时候,开头结尾占两行半的卷面。顶多也不能超过三行半。想想看,一个开头就占太多的空间,阅卷老师的视觉又会有瞬间的疲劳,也会影响阅卷老师的情绪。
四、动笔之前要拟题,漂亮标题如美女
考试作文中,一般都是由考生自己来拟定题目,题目不宜太长和太短。怎么拟题呢?对于成绩一般的考生,应该采取特别措施了。拟题的办法有2个,一是你去百度上搜索一下作文拟题目,可以找到作文老师讲述的类似技巧。二是考生家长或考生,赶紧去翻阅最近一年的读者和青年文摘的合订本,根据题材,选择几十个比较精彩的标题,背下来,考试的时候可能比葫芦画瓢地就能采用到。
五、作文首尾要打眼,丰富多彩出靓点
考试作文的开头方法很多:六要素开头法、题记开头法、悬念开头法、引名句开头法、排比句开头法、拟人式开头法、设问式开头法、对偶式开头法、博喻加对仗开头法,合用修辞开头法、巧述典故开头法,解题式开头法、名人问答开头法、诗文引用开头法。希望考生们准备好一些关于道德、学习、礼仪、爱国、美德等方面的典故、名人名言,到时候就用得上。至少,你看到作文的时候,脑子里会闪现出上述前七八个开头方法。
结尾也很重要。一般来说,结尾是总结全文。如果是记叙文,要注意抒情。如果是议论文,则要注意归纳。无论如何,最好要扣准标题。怎么扣呢?如果你实在拿不准,就在结尾段的第一句,把题目说一下,然后归纳全文观点就是了。
六、动笔之前不要慌,想了题目列提纲
上面说了好几种技巧,其实在具体操作的时候,列提纲很关键。譬如,写记叙文要设计好开头结尾,同时要把你叙述的事情分成几个层次,一个层次是一段,中间如果能设置好一个过渡句或过渡段更好。列提纲的时候,一定要把开头结尾写详细写,中间各段,穿插哪些精彩的话语或名言俗语、诗词典故,要写准。一个合格的学生,列提纲,大约5分钟到8分钟。时间要掌握好,如果时间紧张,提纲就要简练些。
七、想好主题和文体,非驴非马不可取
写作文,要么是记叙文,要么是议论文。一般来说,多是“总—分—总”结构。记叙文的结尾要注意抒情和总结哲理,议论文最好是“1—3—1”或者“1—4—1”结构,中间的3或4,是分层解题。当然也可以灵活采用夹叙夹议的手法。但是注意,千万别议论文说了那么多事例却不归纳主题,千万记叙文忘记说事却议论过多。因此,写考试作文,事先要想好了,我写的是什么文体,就按相应文体的写法来写。
八、适当克隆和“抄袭”,考前备料攒信息
考试前,建议考生翻阅大量的范文,积累一些考试作文的结构。如果写记叙文,最好翻阅《读者》和《青年文摘》,其中的一些散文,结构是很好的,可以把写作的梗概和套路归纳出来。到考试的时候,你采用别人的“筐”,把自己的东西向里面装就可以了。关于感情、爱国、人生之类的优美语言,可以分别背个三五句,到时候直接抄上去就行了,这不算抄袭。关于国家大事,时事政治和要闻什么的,也要注意搜集一下。譬如,去年有奥运,今年是建国60周年,还有汶川地震的感人事迹等,都可以做考试作文的题材。
此外也有一些不太规范的方法,譬如别家的感人事迹,可以搬到自己家。这在考试的时候要灵活慎重运用。
九、篇幅争取要写满,多写一点是一点
一般来说,小升初作文要求都不低于500-600字。如果要求是600字左右,那就顶多写到700字。如果是不低于多少字,建议考生,争取合理安排卷面,把给的卷面写满到95%左右,留下最后一两行。作文老师一看你写得那么多,肯定觉得你的作文相对熟练,作文打分就趋高不趋低。
篇16:命题及半命题作文的写作技巧
全文共 2131 字
+ 加入清单临近期末,小编搜集了小学期末考试复习资料给大家,以下是命题及半命题作文的写作技巧,一起看看吧。
【复习要点】
1、了解命题作文与半命题作文的区别
2、掌握人物外貌描写与心理描写方法
3、学习一人一事与一人几事的写法;
4、掌握描写场面,记叙活动的方法;
5、掌握定点观察,描写景物的方法;
6、学会参观记、游记的写法;
7、掌握描写动物、植物和物品的记叙文的写法。
(一)写人
1、掌握人物外表描写的方法
要介绍一个人,首先要把这个人的外貌特征讲清楚。外貌特征,一般指人的长相、身材、衣着、动作、语言和神态。描写时,一定要写出人物的特点。所谓特点,就是这个人与其他人不同的地方。
2、掌握人物心理描写的方法。
比较细致地对人物的思想感情和内心活动进行描写,称为心理描写。心理描写,主要写人物的内心活动,即人物心里想些什么,尤其要写好莱坞人物在特定环境中的内心矛盾、斗争。心理描写有正面描写和侧面描写两种方法。
正面描写,也叫直接描写,这是常用的方法,一般有以下三种:
一是借用作者的笔让人物倾吐自己的思想,抒发自己的真情实感。常用在第一人称“我”身上,《十六年前的回忆》就是这种方法。
二是直接、客观地分析描写人物内心活动,对文章中的人物的思想活动及产生这种想法的原因等进行合理推测。如《穷人》一文就是这种方法。
三是用回忆或梦境、幻觉来寄托人物的情思。如《凡卡》中,凡卡只能借助回忆、梦境来表达内心情感。
侧面描写,也叫间接描写,主要借助环境、景物、天气等进行烘托。如《十里长街送总理》中的环境描写。
3、掌握一人一事的记叙文的写法。
一人一事是写作的基本功。用一件事写人,一定要弄明白“一件事”所包含的意思。用一件事写人,一定要把这件事情发生的时间、地点、人物和事情的起因、经过和结果都写清楚,对这件事的相关内容进行“插叙”或“补叙”,但要注意略写。
4、掌握一人几事记叙文的写法。
注意:一是所选的几件事都必须表现同一个人的同一个特点,不能一件事表现一个特点。二是所选的几件事最好不在同一个场合,内容不大同小异,应一件比一件深刻、深入。如《我的伯父鲁迅先生》中就讲了几件事,一件比一件深刻。
(二)叙事
1、掌握记叙一件事的方法。
所谓叙事,就是以完整地叙述一件事的发生、发展、结局来表达作者的思想感情的一种文体。要把一件事情写清楚,有三种方法:一是按事情发展顺序写;二是按时间的推移顺序写;三是空间位置的变换顺序写。无论按哪种顺序都必须交代清楚“六要素”。
2、掌握记叙几件事的方法。
记叙几件事必须围绕一个中心来写,不能几件事有几个中心。要写好文章,要注意几件事间的衔接、过渡。
3、掌握描写场面的方法。
要写好场面,离不开观察。观察时要有目的,有重点,有顺序。场面描写以“动”为主,要刻画特定环境中的活动,使整个场面有静有动、有声有色、形象真实而富浓厚的生活气息。场面有两种情况:一是自己参加进去的;二是自己看到的场面。描写场面,要有一定的线索,一定的顺序,常用以下几种方法:一是由主要的到次要的;二是定点观察,按空间顺序描写,按一定的方位顺序去表达;三是采用移步换景法,按自己活动的顺序去观察。
4、掌握记叙活动的方法。
活动是指有目的、有计划、有组织、有准备、有许多人参加的一系列行为的总称。记叙活动,开头也要和记叙文一样,先交代一下活动的时间、地点和人物,接着写活动的开始、经过和结果,重点是写活动的经过。
(三)写景状物
1、掌握定点观察、描写景物的方法。
写景状物就是指在观察的基础上,把自然景色或一些动物、植物、建筑物和其它物品描写,陈述出来的写作方法。
观察是写景状物的基础,观察时一定要确立好观察点,固定了观察点,对观察对象按一定顺序进行观察注意景物出现的顺序和变化。
观察时要讲求方法,写景顺序有四种:一是按景物方位来写,由远及近,由近及远,由里到外,由外到里,由上到下,由下到上等;二是按时间顺序写;三是按景物类别写;四是按人们认识事物的规律来写。
2、掌握参观记、游记的写法。
写这类文章要注意以下四点:
一是在文章的开头要简明扼要地交代清楚参观的时间、地点、人物、对象、目的。
二是一定要把参观的过程写清楚。 三是参观记结尾可谈点参观后的感受工收获。
四是要做到点面结合,既要突出“点”,又要用“面”作陪衬。
写游记时,要学会取舍材料。有特点或印象深刻的要详写,一般的景物要略写。
3、掌握描写动物、植物和物品记叙文的写法。
写好动物要注意四点:
第一、抓住动物的外形特征写;
第二、抓住动物的生活习性写;
第三、抓住动物鸣叫的声音写;
第四、写出动物与人的关系。
写好植物要注意:
第一、要着眼于各种植物特征;
第二、注意植物的形态、颜色、气味及生长变化情况;
第三、要按一定顺序来写;
第四、记叙植物随着生长环境的变化而发生的变化;
第五、可以运用拟人、比喻或想象等手法作动态描写。 第六、要带着感情去写。
写物品要注意以下四点:

篇17:高分作文的写作技巧
全文共 2113 字
+ 加入清单高考作文有着许多特殊性,不能等同于平时写作。高考作文是限时作文,时间短,且教师阅卷的时间更短,因此,要注意一些应试技巧,才能得到较高分数。高考作文怎样争高分呢?笔者认为,要注重以下七个方面:
一、结构模式要“简”
高考作文先要整体构思。开头结尾,过渡照应,主体展开,材料选取等,在动笔前要通盘考虑。只有自己想清楚了,才能写清楚;自己写清楚了,阅卷老师才能看清楚;阅卷老师看清楚了,给分才能给清楚。笔者认为,考场作文的结构应该简明,因为教师阅卷时,每篇作文平均阅读的时间仅为一分钟。因此,一篇应试的议论文最好只包括三大部分,五到八段文字:第一部分,简要提引原材料,在这个基础之上引出自己的感悟,作为中心观点,这个观点要明明白白,旗帜鲜明;第二部分,分三至五段,前两段(或三段)从古今中外不同角度各取一个例子,紧扣观点进行正面论证;后一段(或两段)可从反面选取事例与前文进行对比论证;第三部分,对全文论述的观点进行总结升华,给人以完整感。这样结构文章既简明又严谨且不呆板,还能让阅卷老师一目了然。
二、列提纲要“快”
高考既考能力又考速度。考场上列作文提纲,可先写出简单的结构模式,然后把可能能用上的词句和例子,如名言警句、古诗词、古今中外的事例(尤其是带有时代气息的当今事例),简省写出,只要自己看得懂就行。写于卷面之前,可边浏览边修改,择优录用。这样既能节省时间,又能一气呵成,避免文面多处涂改。
三、内容要“新”
1.题目要新颖别致。“题好文一半”,许多阅卷老师就是根据学生命的题目来判定他的审题能力和写作水平的。因此,能拟一个独具特色的题目,就能以一道亮丽的风景线吸引住老师的视线,分数自然偏高。
2.开头要新颖独特,结尾要深刻感人。从题目实际出发,选取自己最拿手的文体,精心打造开头和结尾,确保获得高分。
3.素材的选取要新鲜贴切。材料新颖又切合题意,那就能显示自己敏捷的思维能力和深厚的文化底蕴,让阅卷老师耳目一新,作文分数自然就能上一个档次。我们要力避大众化和过于平淡的素材,要善于从现实生活、历史典故、文学名著中去搜寻别人没有用过的材料,而且要注意材料的贴切性、典型性、新颖性、多样性。
四、立意要“深”
1.要扣命意。高分作文必定是扣题行文的。扣题能力其实就是审题能力,如果扣题不紧,得的分数会很低。
2.立意要有深度,要“掘地三尺”。“千古文章意为高”,不少考生的应试作文往往是蜻蜓点水,浅尝辄止,立意没有深度。立意,我们可以从历史和文化的沃野中去找寻理论的“掘地三尺”的深度。通过纵向和横向的比较,理想和现实的观照,偶然和必然的分析尝试辩证地寻找理性的答案。阅卷老师一般对深具慧眼、富有哲理的作文情有独钟,给分较高。
3.立意不能浅俗,思想不要幼稚,态度不要“嬉皮士”。每年的高考作文都有一些境界低下、思想庸俗之作。我们要明白,高考体现国家意志,而国家意志则重在弘扬真、善、美。有些同学喜欢唱反调,不管写什么都用调侃嘲讽的口气来写,显得很不严肃。高考作文立意要境界高雅、胸襟阔大,力避市侩气息、低俗趣味。
五、感情要“真”
文章不是无病呻吟的“涂鸭”,而是酸甜苦辣感情的寄托。诚挚朴实的情感,读来是一种享受,品来是一种惬意。真情实感的自然流露,常能打动阅卷者。要让阅卷老师感动,自己首先要投入,要动真感情。真情实感的文章往往能得高分。
六、语言要“美”
流畅优美的语言给人赏心悦目的感觉,这种语言能力要靠平常的努力锻炼。无错字、病句,词句洗练流利,语脉首尾贯通,文意开合自如,是做到语言美的第一关。词语生动、句式灵活、文句有意蕴是语言美的真正体现。作文的语言美,可以从以下几个方面来练就:
一是恰当引用古今中外名人名言、诗词名句、谚语、典故等;
二是综合使用多种修辞手法,比如排比、比喻、反问、设问、对偶、夸张等;
三是综合使用各种句式,如多用短句,变式句,倒装句,双重否定句等。
四是丰富自己的生活和文化积累。因为“腹有诗书文自华”。
五是锤词炼句,以铺陈、抑扬、排比、反问等手法增强文章气势。总而言之,润饰好了语言,能寓繁于简,寓抽象于具体;能使文句更形象生动,更含蓄幽默,更有意蕴;能使文意更鲜明突出,更富有哲理,更耐人寻味。
七、文面要“洁”
文面如人面,它是敲开阅卷老师心扉的第一块砖。高考阅卷时间紧,天气又热,评卷老师每天面对电脑屏幕,心态很微妙。字迹清楚、端正,字体美观大方,无明显涂痕的试卷,能立即获得评卷老师的好感,这样一来印象分就高了。试想:一份字迹潦草、卷面不整洁的试卷出现在工作强度极大又十分疲累甚至有点焦躁的你的面前,你岂愿卒读?太潦草的作文,往往只看了首尾,可能三类作文偏下的分数就出来了。当然,我们所写之字不一定是练过书法的(练过当然更好),而只是要求所写之字大小一样,一笔一画认真书写,不潦草,不涂改(实在需要修改时也应用笔轻轻划去,切不可重重涂写,乱打叉),要让阅卷老师知道你所写的字是什么字,以求一个整体效果。
这里所谈的高考作文七“要”,多少有一些“急功近利”、“离经叛道”的味道,但它确实是获取应试作文高分的有效策略。希望高三学子予以重视,针对自己的实际状况,采取相应的措施,使作文复习备考更具针对性,也更富有成效。
篇18:2024年SAT英语写作素材—山姆·沃顿
全文共 2580 字
+ 加入清单Sam Walton(1918-)
Contrary to popular belief, Sam Walton (the founder of Wal-Mart) was not from Arkansas. He was actually born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his fathers store while attending school. This was his first retailing experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduating from the University of Missouri in 1940, he began his own career as a retail merchant when he opened the first of several franchises of the Ben Franklin five-and-dime franchises in Arkansas.
This would lead to bigger and better things and he soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name-brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America. Waltons management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today. After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his "profit sharing plan". The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profitability of the store. Sam Walton believed that "individuals dont win, teams do". Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales.
Walton believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the companys success, they would care about the company.
By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Marts unique decentralized distribution system, also Waltons idea, created the edge needed to further spur growth in the 1980s amidst growing complaints that the "superstore" was squelching smaller, traditional Mom and Pop stores. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest U.S. retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.
Walton died in 1992, being the worlds second richest man, behind Bill Gates. He passed his company down to his three sons, daughter and wife. Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated (located in Bentonville, Arkansas) is also in charge of "Sams Club". Wal-Mart stores now operate in Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, China and Puerto Rico. Sam Waltons visions were indeed successful.
篇19:提高写作技巧的15个建议
全文共 2457 字
+ 加入清单导语:据说每个人都有自己的写作梦,不是人人都可以成为作家,但是每个人都应该把写作当中自己生活中的一部分,下面小编带来15条关于写作的建议,希望大家在读和写里面找到真正的自己。
阅读优秀的作品:这是显而易见的,但立竿见影的方法。如果你不读更多的好作品,你就不知道如何写出更好的作品。优秀的作家都是从阅读别人的佳作开始,接着开始模仿,最后超越他们,形成自己的风格。尽可能的多读名著,在看内容的时候,更要留意文章的问题和写作的技巧。
尽可能多的写:每天都写,如果可能话,每天写几次。你写得多了,也就写得好了。学习如何写作和其他的学问道理是一样的,熟能生巧。写写你自己,写写博客,向出版社投稿。只是写,全情投入的写,练得越多,你的写作水平就提升得越快。
随时随地记下你的灵感:随身带一本小笔记本(纳博科夫身上装满了小卡片),当你对你构思的小说,文章,或是小说里的人物有什么灵感的时候,马上记下来。当你听别人谈话时的只言片语而所有顿悟时,或看到一段散文诗或是一句歌词让你很感动时,都可以马上当他们记下来。灵感总是转瞬即逝,你及时的记录下来,便可以成为你写作的素材。我的习惯是,为我的博客要写的文章列一个清单,不断的补充它。
专门的写作时间:每天找一个没有任何打扰的时间段作为专门的写作时间,让这成为习惯。对我而言,清晨的时间是最佳的,午饭,傍晚,或者深夜的那段时间也可以。无论你是做什么工作的,把写作当作每天必须完成的任务去做。每天至少写半个小时,当然有一个小时更好。若你同我一样,是一个全职的作家,那么你需要写更多的小时,请你不要担心,这只会让你写得更好。
随便涂鸦:面对整张的白纸,整版的白屏,无从开始,肯定恐怖。你会想:我还是看看邮件或是小憩一会了吧!先生,千万别这样。马上开始写,马上打字,你写什么没有关系,只是让我听到你敲键盘的声音吧。只要你开始写了,什么都好办了。像我的话,我喜欢先敲上我的名字和文章的标题,这应该不难吧,然后再慢慢的展开情节,全身心地融入进去…关键是:开始可以随便写写,随便涂鸦,但是尽快开始写正文。
集中精神:写作是一件一心一意的事情,在嘈杂的环境或是同时干着别的事情,是不可能写好的。写作需要一个安静的环境,需要一点点柔和的背景音乐。即使是最低要求,你也需要在全屏(没有其他软件得干扰)的条件下,使用WriteRoom, DarkRoom,Writer这些写作软件,不受打扰的写作。关掉邮箱,关点MSN和Gtalk,关掉电话和手机,关掉电视,清理掉书桌上无用的东西。清除与写作无关的一切杂念,现在就是写作的时间,好像把自己放进一个盒子里,在没有任何打扰下进入写作状态。
先计划,再写:这好像和“随便涂鸦”有些矛盾,实际上不是这样。在坐下来正式写之前,先做个计划或是脑子里先预演一下,这是非常管用的办法。每天跑步的时候想想要写的东西,或是散步的时间来个头脑风暴;然后把想到的记下来,做一个扼要的提纲;等真正准备好开始写了,可以很快的展开,因为思路和想法都有了。这里,有一个构思小说的三部曲,可以参考这个:Snowflake Method.
创新:你需要模仿名家,这并不意味你要跟他们写得一模一样。你可以试试新的写法,从这里学一点,从那里学一点。渐渐地,你就会有了自己的风格,自己的文体,自己的思路。试试一些不一样的表达,或创造一些与众不同的表达方式,每一方法你都可以尝试,看看它到底怎么样,不好就不用呗。
修改:你开始构思你的文字,然后试着写,让故事情节展开,最后你需要回过头再看看你都写了什么。这点很重要,很多写手一旦写好就不想修改,已经费时费力地写好了,还要再花时间修改,实在是一件吃力不讨好的活。但如果你想写得更好,你就要学会如何修改。好的作品是经过反复的推敲和修改而成的,这会让你的作品从平庸中脱颖而出。看看你写的东东,不仅仅是那些拼写和语法错误,还有那些无意义的词,混乱的结构,和让人搞不懂的句子。修改的目标是:更清晰,更直接,更鲜活。
简明扼要:这是你在修改的过程中,最重要的一件事情。一句句,一段段的修改,把无关主题的统统都删掉。一个短句比一段冗长的废话更具说服力,大白话比晦涩的专业术语更受欢迎。记得:简单就是力量。
富于感染力的句子:在短句中使用富有感染力的动词,当然,并没有要求每一句都是这样,你需要变化。但是,多试试能够吸引人的句子。而且,你没有必要等到你要修改的时候再用,你刚开始写的时候就要考虑这个问题。
获取别人的反馈:闭门造车不会有任何进步,让别人读读你的文章给你回馈,最好有经验的作家和编辑。他们见多识广,会给你很中肯和有见地的建议。认真的听,即使是一些批评,也接受它,忠言逆耳,这样只会让你写得更好。
是骡子还是马,拉出来溜溜:就你而言,你需要让别人读到你的作品。你的作品不是你想谁看谁就看的,让所有的人都读到你的文章。你就要出版自己的书,发表自己的短篇小说和诗歌,给出版社供稿。如果你已经开始写博客了,恭喜你,这是一个好的开始。若现在还没有人浏览过,你就需要把它放到流量更大的博客服务网站上去,让读者给你留言,给你提出建议。所有的人都会看你写东西,也许刚开始时会是件伤脑筋的事情,但这是每一位作家成长的必由之路,马上发表你的文字吧。
采用对话式的文体:很多人的写作都很正式,但是我发现像我们说话一样写作会使文章更流畅(没有叹生词)。这样一来,读者看起来会更舒服。刚开始这么写并不容易,你需要坚持这么做。也许,会带来另一个问题,为了读起来更口语化,你需要打破一些语法规则(就像我的前一句那样)。因为如果生搬硬套语法,会让你的文章看起来很不自然。若没有其他原因,就不要破坏语法规则。你需要知道你在做什么和为什么这样做。
好开头和结尾:开头和结尾是文章的重点。特别是开头。如果你不能在故事的开始就吸引读者,那他们就很难有耐心把整篇文章读完。所以投入更多的时间去考虑怎么写好开头,读者一旦对你开头感兴趣,他们会想知道得更多...写好开头后,再弄一个精彩的结尾,这会让读者更加期待你的下一篇佳作。
