提升写作技巧的英语作文精品20篇

知识要点：1、议论文是议论说理表达作者的见解和主张的文章。2、议论文的三要素包括论点、论据和论证。3、写简单的议论文，努力做到有理有据。

考试说明：我们在报刊上、书籍中经常看到的政论文、社论、短评、小评论、杂感、序跋、宣言、声明、开幕词、以及用文字记录下来的讲话稿、报告等都属议论文。议论文在"两个文明建设"和日常生活中有着极大的作用。我们必须努力学习和掌握这种文体的写法。

1、议论文的三要素

每一篇议论文，都离不开论点、论据和论证。因此，鲜明的论点，确凿的论据，严密的论证，是议论文的三个基本要素。

(1)论点，是作者对要议论的问题所持的见解或主张，是议论文的灵魂，起着统帅全文、纲举目张的作用。确立论点是写好议论文的前提。议论文的论点有以下5点要求：

①正确。写议论文的目的是为了宣传真理、明辨是非、分清正误、区别美丑，所以，思想观点正确是首要的。

②鲜明。作者在文章中必须旗帜鲜明地表明自己的观点，毫不含糊地说出自己的见解，使读者一目了然，明确理解。

③严密。论点的表达必须周密严谨，无懈可击，不给持有异议的人以可乘之机。

④集中。在一篇议论文中，只能提出一个中心论点，全篇文章始终围绕一个论点展开论述，把道理说深说透，解决问题。要求集中，也就是要避免发生论点转移，后文的论说跟前文的论点有变化，或者概念上混淆。

⑤深刻。文中提出的论点，应该是作者对于事物的新鲜、独到的见解，能够深入地揭示事物的本质，而不是一般化的老生常谈，以便更有力地说服读者，给人以深刻的启迪。

写议论文时，要注意把中心论点和分论点交代清楚。中心论点是议论文的基本观点，它是全文的主旨和核心，在文章中起主导作用。从属论点是说明中心论点的论据，是为中心论点服务的。

提出论点的形式是多种多样的，一般大致有以下四种：一是开头提出论点。二是结尾提出论点。三是篇中提出论点。四是论点贯穿在全文中。通常的写法，以①②两种为主，习作议论文也应以这两种方式为主，然后进而学习后两种写法。

(2)论据，是用来证明论点的事实和道理。因此，论据包括事实材料和道理即理论材料。事实材料中又包括正面和反面事实材料，另外，数据材料也是其中一种。选择事实材料和理论材料要遵循哪些原则呢?

对于正面的事实材料，首先是真实性原则。论据真实，论点就可靠;论据不真实，论点就可疑。其次是典型性原则。就是要求选用那些能够深刻揭示事物的本质，亦即具有广泛代表性的材料作论据。一个论点，往往有许多论据能够从不同方面、不同角度来证明它。但是在可以论证它的众多论据中，总有一些是最恰当最有说服力的论据，就是典型的论据。此外，还要遵循新颖性原则。人们在阅读文章时，容易被新颖的材料所吸引，也容易对陈旧的材料产生厌恶。因此，对事实论据的选择，也必须遵循新颖性这一原则，重新轻旧，求近舍远，在"新"字上下功夫。

对于反面事实材料应以有衬托作用为原则。议论文为了把道理讲深讲透，需要多角度地分析、论证论点，这就要求我们从不同角度去选择论据，既要选择正面的材料，从正面阐述事理;也需要选择反面材料，从相反角度剖析事理，正反对照，以反衬正，突出中心论点。反面材料补充不能说透的结果。

对于数据材料应遵循科学的原则。从表面上看，数据只是几个简单的数字，其实它有丰富的内涵，往往是众多劳动的结晶、辉煌成绩的表现、不懈努力的反映，或者是浪费破坏的记录，将科学的数据引进议论文，能增强论证的效果，具有无可辩驳的说服力。

理论材料就是选用通过实践证明是正确的经典理论家的名言，科学上的公理、定律以及尽人皆知的道理等等来作论据，以证明论点的正确性。引用理论材料作论据，必须遵循以下几条原则：首先是可靠性原则。作为论据的依据，被引用的理论材料一定要确凿可靠，不论是引用名人的原话，还是引用大意，首先应搞清作者是谁，不可张冠李戴，把孔子的话当作他人的话来引用。如果是引用原文，一定要核对原文不要抄错;如果是引用大意，一定做到对原文内容能够正确概括，做到准确可靠。其次是针对性原则。引用理论材料的目的是为论证某个观点服务的，切切不可牵强附会，无的放矢，架空议论。再次是引伸性原则。这是说在引用精当的材料作论据后，不能就此完事，不作分析，这样有引无证，不能充分发挥论据的作用。正确的做法是在引用理论材料之后，紧跟着就要对理论材料进行科学的推论，从中推导出新的含义，生发出新的思想，进而推动文章的论证。此外，还有简明性原则。引用理论材料作论据，目的是证明观点的正确，对观点的进一步阐述和推导，还要靠自己去论证。如果引用过多的理论材料，以引带论，效果会适得其反。

(3)论证，就是用论据证明论点的过程和方法，使论据与论点之间有机地联系起来，构成一个统一的整体。论证的方法，一般都是先提出论题，经过论证、分析后得出结论。论证的过程和方法，有的逐层剖析，有的边分析边作结论，有的用设问引出问题进行论证。

写议论文要求做到层次清楚，推理严密，合乎逻辑，说理透辟，不论立论还是驳论都要具有说服力。

2、立论和驳论

议论文从论证方式看，一般分为立论和驳论两种。

(1)立论立论是对一定的事件或问题从正面阐述作者的见解和主张的论证方法。写立论性的文章，必须做到：

①论点要正确、鲜明。正确就是论点本身要符合马列主义、毛泽东思想和邓小平理论，符合客观实际，并经得起实践的检验。鲜明就是说作者必须旗帜鲜明地表示肯定什么，否定什么，赞成什么，反对什么，决不可含含糊糊，模棱两可。

②论据要真实、充分。就是说，必须举出足够的事实或公认正确的道理，证明论点的正确性。

作为论据的事实，包括有代表性的确凿的事例或史实，以及统计数字等。用事实作论据，有很强的说服力。

用科学道理作为论据，也具有极大的说服力。如用自然科学的原理、定律和公式等作为论据，也能有力的起到证明论点的作用。

③论证必须符合正确的推理形式。写立论性的文章，要言之成理，合乎逻辑。论点统帅论据，论据证明论点。论据必须足以证明论点，论点必须是从论据中推断出来的必然结论。

(2)驳论驳论是就一定的事件和问题发表议论，揭露和驳斥错误的、反动的见解或主张。

驳斥错误的、反动的论点有三种形式：

①直接驳斥对方的论点。先举出对方的荒谬论点，然后用正确的道理和确凿的事实直接加以驳斥，揭示出谎言同事实、谬论与真理之间的矛盾。有的文章，首先证明与论敌的论点相对立的论点是正确的，以此来证明论敌的论点是错误的。

②通过批驳对方的论据来驳倒对方的论点。论据是论点的根据，是证明论点的。错误和反动的论点，往往是建立在虚假的论据之上的，论据驳倒了，论点也就站不住脚了。

③通过批驳对方的论证过程的谬误(驳其论证)来驳倒对方的论点。驳倒了它的论证中关键问题，也就把谬论驳倒了。

总之，写驳论性的文章，还应注意以下几点：①要对准把子。写驳论性的文章，首先要摆出对方的谬论或反动观点，树起靶子。怎样树起靶子呢?通常有两种方式。一是概述。即用概括的语言，将所批驳的敌论复述一下。概述时，可适当引用一些原词句，但要有重点，倾向性要鲜明。二是摘引。即把反面材料的关键部分或有关部分，摘录下来，然后对准靶子，进行驳斥。②要抓住要害。鲁迅说："正对论敌之要害，仅以一击给予致命的重伤。"对谬论，一定要抓住其反动本质，深入地进行揭露和批判。③要注意分寸。对于敌人的******谬论和人民内部存在的错误思想，必须加以区别。对敌人，要无情揭露，痛加批驳，给以致命打击;对于人民内部的错误思想，就要本着"团结--批评--团结"的原则，决不可相提并论。

议论虽有立论、驳论两种方式，但两者不是截然分开的。破和立是辨证的统一。在立论性的文章中，有时也要批驳错误论点;在驳论性的文章中，一般也要在批驳错误论点的同时，阐明正确的观点。因此，立论和驳论在议论文中常常是结合起来使用的。

书信的种类很多，常见的有一般书信和专用书信两种，应用于作文常采用一般书信，因为一般书信的应用范围极其广泛，如政治、学术、文艺、家务、世俗、人情世故等各方面。所以书信可以议论，可以抒情，可以描写，可以叙事。它的针对性强，形式灵活。行文时可以与过去、未来和现实中的一切人交流，也可以和文学作品中的人物交谈，表达自己对政治、世界和人生的看法。此外，书信还有固定的格式;称呼、问候、正文、结尾语、具名、日期。它的语言要简明，口语化，还要考虑收信人的身份、经历、文化水平等方面的特点等。

书信体作文除了要符合书信格式外，正文部分谋篇布局相对灵活，内容方面可以写一件事，也可以写多件事，甚至可讲座问题。因为书信体作文一般用来与别人交流沟通，所以便于抒发感情。

由于书信体作文既能考查考生对应用文写作格式的掌握，又能考查考生的写作水平，因而受到了设题者的青睐。为让考生掌握书信体作文的写作技巧,下面小编为大家整理了书信作文的写作技巧，仅供参考。

一、要注意书信的格式和要求

书信的格式主要包括称呼、正文、结尾、署名和日期五部分。

称呼要从第一行顶格写起，后面加冒号，冒号后不要写字。

正文通常以问候语开头。问候语最常见的有“您好!”“近好!”根据时令节气的不同，问候语也有所变化，如“新年好!”“春节愉快!”问候语要写在称呼的下一行，前面空两格，一般自成一段。也有的不写问候语，而是直接进入正文内容。

正文部分要明确写信的主旨，做到有条有理、层次分明。如同时要写几件事，必须做到主次分明，有头有尾，详略得当，最好是一件事一个段落。

结尾要写上表示敬意、祝愿或勉励的话。正文写完之后，可空两格写“此致”，转一行顶格写“敬礼”;如不写“此致”，只写“敬礼”、“安好”、“健康”、“平安”等词，一定要另起一行空两格，不能直接缀写在正文的末尾。

二、要注意拟定新颖别致的标题

书信最常见的标题是“给××的一封信”。为了使标题新颖别致，可引用或化用名言、警句与歌词;可运用比喻或拟人等修辞手法;也可运用副标题与正标题相互辉映。如，《“老鼠爱大米”——给人类的一封信》，这个标题既引用了歌词，又巧妙运用了副标题，副标题与正标题互为补充，相互辉映。

三、要注意诉说对象和抒情性的特点

写书信，一定要注意诉说的对象，因为给不同的对象写信时，所谈的内容是不同的，抒发的感情和使用的语气等也是不相同的。只有弄清了写作对象，所写的书信才会符合要求，才会不跑题。

书信体最大的特点是抒情性很强。为了更好地表达情感，考生可突破一般书信叙述语多的写作窠臼，大胆地进行创新。如，可精选一些感人的事例，叙议结合;可选用意蕴深刻的词语，恰当抒发感情;可运用不同的句式，以增强文章的感染力。书信的内容做到了丰富、深刻、感情真挚，自然能引起读者的共鸣，从而能获得高分。

文似看山不喜平。文章在选材、结构上要波澜起伏，这应该是精彩篇章的追求。写文章讲究波澜，或开头平缓，暴风狂雨却潜伏其中——那是树欲静而风不止;或出语不凡，如猛虎长啸——那是狂风卷巨澜。无波澜则平板静止，怎能得高分?

例文《细节之美》叙述的是生活中的凡人琐事，人人都看见、个个都明白，但被作者紧紧抓住了。你看，作者扣住了“细节”的题眼。为了突现其美，对生活中积累的事例作了筛选与剪裁，放在一年四季的四个情景中作多层面的生动的片段描写。虽然语不惊人，但一个小小的动作、一句轻声柔和的问候、一弯甜美的微笑而组成的美，如潺潺流水在我们心中流淌，激起情感上的层层波澜。你说这种看似平缓、波澜不惊，其实给你的感觉难道不也是波澜起伏、兴致盎然?你定然会觉“人间自有真情在”的美好情意。

例文：细节之美

生活中有很多细节之美。一个小小的动作，一句轻声柔和的问候，一弯甜美的笑……使美充满了我们的世界。

春雨如顽皮的孩子，嘀嘀哒哒闹个不停。冬季所遗留下的寒冷，还没有散去。这个时节的天气，使街上凄凉无比。呀，大街的一角，怎么有两位老人相靠着撑着一把伞?定睛仔细一瞧，鲜红的臂章系在他们的手臂上，原来是看自行车的管理员。再看看一旁，只依稀停着几辆自行车，车上还盖着两件雨衣。一阵风吹过，雨衣的一角被风掀了起来，两位老人蹒跚地走了过去……

夏季，小区的大草坪上满是青葱的小草。一位母亲在教她的孩子学步，孩子已会走几步路了，突然胖胖的小腿一软，瘫坐在草地上，不愿再爬起，孩子用他那水灵的眼睛望着母亲，希望她能跑来把她抱起，但母亲却一动也不动地站立在原地，用鼓励的眼神望着他，一秒，两秒，三秒……孩子终于屈服了，用两只白白的小手撑着地，屁股一撅，脚一蹬，又摇晃着向母亲走来，母亲的笑如花般绽放……

秋风扫落叶，整个世界被黄色的落叶所包裹着，一群红领巾，提着扫帚走到大街上。一堆堆的落叶如小山似的堆积了起来，一片片欢声笑语使原本凄凉的秋季变得生机盎然……

寒风随着冬季的到来笼罩着大地，可学校里却好是热闹。“我捐10元”“我捐5元”“我捐20元”……同学们争先恐后地向那献爱心的红箱子拥去，红通通的小手一个劲儿地往箱子里塞自己的“爱心”。温暖使原本寒冷的冬日不再寒冷……

一段段细节，一个个小片段，组成的美如潺潺流水在我们心中流淌。细节之美，在生活的每时每刻，在世界的每一个角落。

高考中作文是很重要的一点，许多人面对高考作文都在发愁，下面是小编整理的高考作文的写作技巧：六要六不要，欢迎阅读。

一要先审题不要大喜过望。看清楚题目的要求、指向，思考一下这题目可能有几种写法，哪种写法容易落于俗套，哪种写法更有创意、自己又能发挥得更好;不要似曾相识，就不再审题，这样往往容易跑题。而反复推敲自己的设计有无“跑题”，是开写的前提。

如碰到熟悉的有所准备的作文题，也要认真构思，发挥创意;不要大喜过望，马上把原来准备的往上写。每年高考阅卷占相当比重的就是所谓“宿构作文”，题材构思彼此相似，有固定的套路。判卷的老师见得多了，会很厌烦“宿构”，难免就扣分。所以即使很熟悉的题目也要重新去构思。

二要沉着应对，不要碰到难题就懵了。如碰到出乎意料毫无准备的题目，则要沉着应对，想到肯定不只是自己感到难，很可能大多数考生都难，这就“扯平”了，能让自己静下心来;不要碰到难题就懵了，乱了阵脚。每年高考作文题都可能“别出心裁”，有时甚至有点“怪”，那也别被吓住了。考场上心理因素很重要，有信心，不着急，能自我调节，才能发挥得好。

三要把时间安排好，不要虎头蛇尾。一般都是先做完其他部分的题再写作文，那么留给作文的时间就要有具体的安排。审题构思的时间要给够。提纲出来后要想想，写每一部分所需要的时间大致有多少。修改润色也要留出时间;不要没有时间观念，写到哪里算哪里。容易出现的毛病往往是开头用了很多时间，越到后来时间越不够用，只好匆忙收笔，结果虎头蛇尾。

四要列出提纲，不要只想到开头。构思时最好列出简要的提纲，把论点、论据、如何分段、前后逻辑先想清楚，然后基本上就按照提纲的思路来写;不要只想到开头，还没有通盘的构想，就着急往下写，边写边构思容易乱。

五要超越“程式化”思维不要照搬。不要轻车熟路，用做练习的习惯去写作文，不要照搬平时准备的框架、论点或素材。现今的高考作文训练往往都是“程式化”的，大家都这样去构思，甚至一种素材有几种用法都预先设计好了，只有超越，才能显示你的水平和创意，也才有好的成绩。

六要文通字顺不要堆砌辞藻。不要一味堆砌辞藻，动不动就是名人名言、格言警句。这些年高考作文常见那种华丽空洞的“文艺腔”，已经引起普遍的反感，再这样去写，容易失分。写完后读一遍，把可有可无的字句段删去，再适当加上某些润色。

小升初英语写作技巧之一：用介词短语替代从句，例：

原句：While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.

修改后：During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.

原句：When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.

修改后：At the second traffic light turn left.

小升初英语写作技巧之二：删除诸如"who is”或"that is"之类的关系代词，变从句为短语，例：

句：The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.

修改后：The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.

注：把句中的"three parts"改用形容词来表达，节省了四个不必要的单词"which is written in"。我们经常可以将关系代词如"that"去掉，这只会引起最少的变动。

小升初英语写作技巧之三：剔除你不需要的单词，例：

Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call.

写完这样的句子后，你自己再读一遍，挑出单词"joint"和"telephone"，注意删去不必要的词。

小学阶段不同年级的作文有不同要求和写作技巧小学英语写作指导小学英语写作指导。

对于小学3年级的学生，在他们已经掌握好了如颜色(colour)、衣服(clothes)、数字(number)、星期(day of the week)、月份(month)、宠物(pet)、情感(feeling)、身体部位(body)、文具(school things)的基础上进行文章的填空，如果学生能够按照文章的要求写进相关的信息，那就已经很不错了。下面是一个自我介绍的简单例子：

Myself

Hello，my name is_____. I am_____years old.My favourite colour is_____，_____， and_____.My favourite pet is______，_____ and______. My favourite food is_____，______and______.My favourite day is______. My favourite school thing is______and______.My favourite number is and______.I am______today.

上面的这个例子，如果学生能够依次能吧自己的姓名、年龄、喜欢的颜色、喜欢的宠物、喜欢的食物、喜欢的日子、喜欢的文具、喜欢的数字和今天的心情准确无误地写出来，那么就已经能够完成了3年级阶段的作文要求。

对于4年级的学生，可以写一篇介绍自己课室或者自己卧室的文章。下面是一篇4年级学生的介绍课室范文。

My classroom

I am studying at Tongji primary school.I am in Class Two, Grade Four. (介绍自己所在的学校和所在的年级) There is a blackboard in front of the classroom. There are twenty-five desks in our classroom, they are brown. There are many books on the desk. There are fifty students, thirty boys and twenty girls. There is a picture on the wall. There are two fans on the wall. (用there+be句型把班里和摆设和班上的人数都表达出来了) It is tidy and clean.I like my classroom very much.(最后是作者的总结)

对于5年级的学生，作文的要求也提高了很多，很多学生在介绍别人或者是写自己喜欢的小动物的时候很容易忘了第三人称单数动词要加ses，如：He get up at 7 o’clock(get忘了加s)，在用到现在进行的时候动词很容易忘了加ing(如I am play the piano，play就忘记了加ing)，介词和介词短语也占了很重要的位置如介词in，on，at，of。介词短语如dream of(区分dream that)和be afraid of都是很重要的介词短语，很多学生忘记了介词后面要加动词小学英语写作指导少儿基础英语。

对于6年级的学生，作文考查的是英语的综合应用能力，而且出的题目大部分都是看图作文，这就在一定程度上增加了写作的难度，它也是综合了3年级的分类词汇，4年级的句型，方位介词，5年级的重点介词短语和时态，不过我相信只要平时多点积累单词和句型、多点动笔、多注意语法上的问题、多看作文书，那么就能写出流畅、有深度的文章。

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。

新时期以来，我国的散文创作出现了前所未有的好势头，散文创作持续热闹火爆，涌现了一批专事散文的作家，一些学者、诗人、小说家、评论家、艺术家也跻身其中，众多的大学生也喜爱读写散文。“‘五四’以来的中国散文史，无疑是继先秦、两汉、魏晋、唐宋、明清散文这一座座峰峦之后的又一个高峰。它最为重大的意义是企图号召整个民族，彻底地走向人性的解放，树立科学和民主、平等和自由的现代文明观念。多少散文家都通过自己洋溢着独特个性的笔角，在不同的领域之内，从种种不同的视角，程度不等地完成着这个神圣的使命。”

散文是一种常见的文学体裁。由于它取材广泛，摇曳多姿，艺术表现形式丰富多样，如同五彩斑斓的风景画，让人陶醉，让人喜爱。那么我们怎样来写散文呢?写散文要牢牢掌握它的五个特点：

一、时间跨度大

散文不受时间限制，前可以远涉古代，后可跨及未来，又可覆盖今天。如秦牧的散文《土地》从今日的土地一片生机，追溯到春秋战国时晋公子重耳狼狈出逃时手捧泥土感谢土地是上苍的恩赐。再如杨朔散文《荔枝蜜》，从小时候上树掐海棠花被蜜峰蜇了一口，写到现在的参观蜜蜂场。时间跨度很大，但却紧紧围绕作者要表现的主题没有让人感到丝毫的散乱。联想极丰富，文笔挥洒自如，极有感染力。

写散文时可以根据散文的这一特点，扩大时间跨度，多充实一些有关事件，插入多组镜头，来增加散文的内容和色彩，使文章多姿多彩，知识性强。

二、空间转换广

散文既不受时间限制，也不受空间限制，天南海北，空间宇宙，无不可以包容其中。如鲁迅的回忆性散文《藤野先生》，空间跨度从中国到日本，再从东京到仙台，又从仙台回到北京，接着又写走到厦门，空间跨度大，空间转换之多让人目不暇接，但写得层次分明，详略得当。把复杂的人和事放在每个空间里，有的随意点染，有的泼墨描绘，错落有致，色彩斑斓。如果我们在写散文时注意到这个特点，就不大会犯单薄、贫乏的毛病。

三、事件牵涉多

写散文，多数离不开事件，尤其是叙事散 文，事件是散文的“硬件”。许多好的散文有一个中心事件，以及烘托连带的一些与之有关的其它事件。如袁鹰的散文《井冈翠竹》，写井冈山的竹子做过武器杀伤敌人，做过竹筒盛粥，做过红军的扁担挑着中国革命从井冈山走到延安，走到北京。新中国成立后，竹子又被派上了建设社会主义的新用场……事件多得让人应接不暇。

四、表达方式活

散文常用记叙、说明、抒情、议论、描写等表达方式。茅盾名篇《白杨礼赞》，就综合地运用了多种表达方式，如文章开头就记叙和描写了汽车在黄土高原上奔驰看到的黄土高原的外貌，用抒情和议论点明了白杨树的象征意义。这些方式的运用，有力地表达了主题，使文章气势浩大，摄人心魄。我们在写散文时，特别要注意综合地运用多种表达方式，使文章富有波澜。

五、勾连全文巧

散文的取材，可谓“杂乱”有章。既使散思路开阔，包容量大，又使散文紧紧围绕作者的意图而不“越轨”。秦牧说写散文最不能丢的是“思想的红线”。即用一个醒目深刻的思想，把看似散乱的一大堆材料，贯穿成文。若把这一个个事件喻作“珍珠”，真可叫做“红线穿珠”了。

抒情散文模式：

【开头】1叙述自己与景物的关系。2议论景物和自己。

【中间】1描写景物，分出层次，细致动人。2联想发挥，更大意义。

【结尾】感慨

学习散文写作有两条途径，其一是从摹仿入手，跟在他人后面亦步亦趋。这种没有理论的盲目实践，往往事倍功半。其二是在阅读了一些散文，有了些感性认识，然后学习散文写作理论，使感性认识上升到理性认识的阶段，再阅读名家范文，然后从事写作实践，这样就可以事半功倍。我们应取第二条途径，即：阅读→研究→阅读→写作。

首先，要明白散文的定义。什么是散文呢?有广义和狭义两种概念。广义的散文，在古代指的是一切不押韵的文章。刘勰在《文心雕龙》的《总术》篇写道：“今之常言，有‘文’ 有‘笔’，以为无韵者‘笔’也，有韵者‘文’也。”所谓“笔”，就是指韵文以外的一切记叙性和议论性的文体，这些文体就散文。不过，古代没有“散文”这一个名称;“散文”这个名称是“五四”时期才有的。在现代，广义的散文包括了除去诗歌、小说、戏剧、影视文学之外的一切叙事性、议论性、抒情性的文体，如秦牧在《海阔天空的散文领域》中说，“不属于其他文学体裁，而又具有文学味道的一切篇幅短小的文章，都属于散文的范围”。这样，就有了抒情散文，叙事散文和议论散文等的分类。

狭义的散文则专指抒情散文。这是因为随着文体的发展，叙事散文中的通讯特写、传记文学、报告文学等，已经发展成为独立的文体，各成一类;议论散文则有了专门的名称—— 杂文，也从散文中分了出来，剩下的只有抒情散文，这就是狭义的散文。

我们这里要学习的主要是抒情散文，也涉及叙事散文和其它类型的散文。习作者可以根据自己的人生阅历、文化素养和爱好，或写作抒情散文，或作叙事散文，或写文化散文，或作智慧散文，或写游历散文，或作其它类型的散文。

其次，要认清散文的写作特点。散文是一种内容丰富、题材广泛、篇幅短小、体裁多样、形式灵活、文情并茂的文体。在写作上，它有以下六个特点：

(一)内容丰富，题材广泛。散文的内容涉及自然万物、各色人等、古今中外、政事私情……可以说是无所不包、无所不有的。可以写国内外和社会上的矛盾、斗争，写经济建设，写文艺论争，写伦理道德，也可以写文艺随笔，读书笔记，日记书简;既可以是风土人物志、游记和偶感录，也可以是知识小品、文坛轶事;它能够谈天说地，更可以抒情写趣。凡是能给人以思想启迪、美的感受、情操的陶治，使人开阔视野，丰富知识，心旷神怡的，都可选作散文的题材。

(二)思想警辟，诗意盎然。散文多是真情实感的产物，那些优秀的篇章，都有思想火花的闪耀，表现着作者对时代和人生的深刻认识与精辟见解。徐迟说：“文学作品，应该有思想。散文也不例外。它要求有特别锐利的思想。即使是抒情散文，也要求有不但是锐利的，而且是特别锐利的思想。不到五百字的《岳阳楼记》，‘先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐’是一个光辉灿烂的思想。抒情散文固然很多，写到这样的境界就并不很多。然而，这正是散文、抒情散文所应追求的境界。”“凡掷地作金石声的作品差不多总是包含着鲜明的思想、结结实实的思想。有闪光的思想之焦点，飞跃着不灭的思想之火焰的。”(《说散文》)我们读鲁迅的《雪》，可以学到鲁讯从飞雪和雪罗汉身上探索到的美好、光明以及与冷酷现实进行顽强斗争的革命精神;读茅盾的《白杨礼赞》，可以看出茅盾怎样从平凡的白杨树身上联想到北方农民的坚强不屈和英勇豪迈的形象;读袁鹰的《井冈翠竹》，可以领悟作者从普通的毛竹思考到井冈山人民的献身革命与建设的精神品质。秦牧说得好：“思想像一根线串起了生活的珍珠，没有这根线，珍珠只能够弃散在地。” 散文的优秀作品还每每是诗意盎然的。杨朔说过：“好的散文就是一首诗。”苏联作家巴乌斯托夫斯基也指出：“真正的散文是充满诗意的，就像苹果饱含着果汁一样。”因此，高尔基对青年作者说：“我们的青年是否也可以试一下，热情地用散文来写人们，使得散文也自然而然地变成为诗。”(引自《回忆高尔基》)杨朔的散文之所以写得那样好，原因之一就他“总是拿着当诗一样写。”他告诉我们：“不要从狭义方面来理解诗意两个字。杏花春雨，固然有诗，铁马金戈的英雄气概，更富有鼓舞人心的诗力。你在斗争中，劳动中，时常会有些东西触动你的心，使你激昂，使你欢乐，使你忧愁，使你深思，这不是诗又是什么?凡是遇到这样动情的事，我就要反复思索，到后来往往形成我文章里的思想意境。”(《东风第一枝·小跋》)他的名篇《荔枝蜜》、《茶花赋》、《海市》…… 都是诗意盎然之作，既是散文，又是诗篇。

(三)短小精悍，自由灵活。有人称散文是文艺战线上的“轻骑兵”，就是因为它具有篇章短小精悍、形式灵活自由的特点。我国古代散文的名篇多数是很短的，如韩愈的《马说》150字，柳宗元的《小石潭记》193字。现代散文的名篇多数也是很短的，如许地山的《落花生》482字，茅盾的《白杨礼赞》1074字。当然，较长的优秀散文也是有的，但它与一般记叙文相比，仍是精悍之作。所以散文写作要求做到短小精悍，以小见大，言近旨远。

从形式上来看，散文较其它的文学体裁更为自由活泼、灵活多样。鲁迅在《怎么写》中指出：“散文的体裁，其实是大可以随便的。”冰心在《谈散文》中说：“散文比较自由”。当然，这里说的“随便”、“自由”不是毫不经心、信手乱写。自由灵活的散文写作，是“装着随便的涂鸦模样，其实却是用心雕心刻骨的苦心的文章。”(厨川白村：《出了象牙之塔》)散文写作自由、灵活这一特点，在写作上，首先指的是表达方式灵活自如，不局限于某一种表达方法。因而，散文写作可以记人、叙事、状物、写景、抒情、说理、呐喊、怒吼、抨击、赞颂、幽默、讽刺、高歌、浅唱、漫谈、絮语、嘻笑怒骂、妙语解颐……各式各样、应有尽有。其次，写作者可以自由、灵活地选用各种体裁来写，赋铭、速写、游记、书信、日记、序跋、偶感、随笔、回忆录、读后感……，任人选择，因人而异，都能写成佳作。

(四)形散神收，博而不杂。宋代大散文家、诗人苏轼在《文说》中说：“吾文如万斛泉涌，不择地而出。在平地，滔滔汩汩，虽一日千里无难。及其与山石曲折，随物赋形而不可知也。所可知者，常行于所当行，常止于不可不止，如是而已矣。”

“形散神不散”，这是许多散文作家的经验之谈。散文必须“散”，必须“博”，也就是说从表面上看，从形式上看，它运笔如风，不拘成法，似乎散漫无章，行文时断时续，时而勾勒描绘，时而倒叙联想，时而感情迸发，时而侃侃议论，既有天文地理，又有伦理人情，这段写甲地，那段却写乙地。但是，它的“神”却是始终不散的，是首尾一贯的，是表现作者一定的思想、感情的。“神收”、“不杂”，就指的是文章始终紧紧围绕一个中心，贯穿一条红线，做到结构紧凑，层次分明，详略得当，重点突出。例如秦牧的散文《社稷坛抒情》，是既“散”又“博”的，然而，尽管它天上地下，古今中外，包罗万象，却始终围绕着“歌颂赞美养育我们的土地和创造我们伟大民族文化历史的劳动人民”这一主题思想。因此，从形式上说，散文贵“散”，而在构思上、组织上，则散文忌“散”。散文写作具有的这一辩证统一的特点，使得它与其它文体区别开来。

(五)直抒胸臆，自具风格。文学作品都是带有感情的，但小说、戏剧的作者，往往把自己强烈的感情倾注在人物形象的塑造上，作者对生活的感受、对人物的爱憎褒贬，一般是通过间接的方式表现出来的。而散文则不一样，它常常象诗歌一样，每每用直接抒情的方式抒写胸臆，不仅使读者知其理、晓其事，而且悟其心、感其情，因此，散文要求作者写真情实感。真情是散文的生命，只有直抒胸臆，把真情实感捧给读者，才会赢得读者的喜爱。作家贾平凹在回答“散文创作要不要绝对真实”的问题时说：“这个问题争论很多，又都没有一定结论。我个人的体会，还是倾向于‘绝对真实’四个字。所谓真实，主要是指在感情以及运用环境和事件上。古人写的散文，题材也是很广泛的，但古人写散文，都是有感而发。今人写散文，多多少少存在着一些为写而写的现象，所以在绝对真实问题上就出现了所谓‘理论与实践上的不一致。’也正因为如此，这些散文就写得不那么成功了。当然，作为文学作品应该生活化，生活也应该作品化，散文尤是这样。”(《怎样写好散文》)

写作要“文如其人”，散文更是这样。名家都有自己的风格，他们的作品即使不署名，读者也能从风格上看出作者。如鲁迅的散文深刻、精炼、峭拔，虽然他写文章经常改换笔名，然而“何家干”的文章，明眼人一看就看出是鲁迅。郭沫若的散文气势浩荡，又清丽、缠绵。茅盾的散文与郭沫若的浩荡相反，表现为深刻而细微。还有，老舍的散文诙谐，冰心的散文慈爱，叶圣陶严谨畅达，方纪潇洒俊逸，等等。初学写作者一时不可能形成自己的散文风格，但是必须向这些各有风格的散文作家学习，经过多次的实践、创造，努力形成自己的散文风格。

(六)惨淡经营，文采斐然。优秀的散文不可能是“掉以轻心”写出来的，它们都是作者惨淡经营、刻意加工的结晶。秦牧指出：“一篇小小的散文也许写作时间仅仅是一两个小时，但却要求作家深厚的素养，而且不断扩大和丰富这种素养。把散文当作是‘小功夫’，‘掉以轻心’的写作态度，是很不利于我们散文创作的繁荣发展的。即使是怎样熟练的名作家，我们也要求他们在写作一篇小文章时，采取‘大象搏狮用全力，搏兔也用全力’的态度。”有些散文家提倡散文的“整体美”，也是要求作者在内容和形式上都“惨淡经营”。整篇文章是惨淡经营、刻意加工写成的，它的语言就是精炼的，文采斐然的。这是由于作者运用的是散文笔调。那么什么是“散文笔调”呢?可以说，散文笔调一方面表现在它的行文灵活自如，另一方面则表现在它十分讲究文采。散文的文采不仅有华丽的，而且有朴素的。

学习散文写作，既要掌握华丽的文采，也要掌握朴素的文采。写得华丽并不容易，写得朴素更难。徐迟的文章是很有文采的，他常用赋的方法兼用比、兴修辞，使得文采华美。但是他说：“只有写得朴素了，才能显出真正的文采来。古今大散文家，都是这样写作的。越是大作家，越到成熟之时，越是写得朴素。而文采闪耀在朴素的篇页之上。”我们还要看到，不管是华丽的还是朴素的，散文的富有文采的语言都是从新鲜、活泼的口语中来的，也是对优秀的古代散文创造性的继承，也是作者仔细选择、锤炼和加工的结果。

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

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

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

2. Damaging Research

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

3. Education and Citizenship

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

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

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

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

4. The Teacher’s Role

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

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

5. Education Philosophy

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

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

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

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

6. Student Life

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

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

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

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

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

7. Adult Education

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

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

8. Moral Relativism in American

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9. Schools Should Teach Values

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10. College Pressures

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Then why are you going?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11. To Err Is Wrong

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

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

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

Right over 90% of the time = “A”

Right over 80% of the time = “B~”

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

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

Playing It Safe

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

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

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

Different Logic

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

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

Errors as Stepping Stones

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

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

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

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

[英语作文写作的需要背诵的部分

变换顺序法主要是指在叙事的过程中改变常规的顺叙，而采用倒叙、插叙等叙述方法，从而带给文章一种摇曳多姿的美。

具体来说运用倒叙即是把事件的结局或某个最突出的片断提在前面叙述，然后再从事件的开头进行叙述。

倒叙的类型大致有以下三种：一是把结局提前，如《背影》；二是像《羚羊木雕》那样把中间扣人心弦的部分提前；三是由眼前事物引起对往事的回忆，如《风筝》。

采用倒叙的情况一般有三种：一是为了表现文章中心思想的需要，把最能表现中心思想的部分提到前面，加以突出；二是为了使文章结构富于变化，避免平铺直叙；三是为了表现效果的需要，使文章曲折有致，造成悬念，引人入胜。

使用倒叙应注意以下三点：

一、倒叙实在是一种截叙，是顺叙的变式。那么，关键在于截得恰到好处。或截意外的结局于前，使读者急欲读完全文；或截精彩片断于先，使文章开首即光彩照人。到底怎样截，在什么地方生变，是费心血、见功力的。特别是片断倒叙更是如此。

二、注意顺叙与倒叙之间的衔接。倒叙是顺叙中某个部分提前，倒叙之后还要转为顺叙。所以，倒与顺之间存在着天然的内在联系。使用倒叙既要做到过渡自然，又要把倒叙的起止点交代清楚。

三、不可为倒叙而倒叙。若文章所反映的事件历时较长，情况又较复杂，才适宜用倒叙的方法。对于时间跨度小、情节单纯的事件则不必用倒叙的方式，若勉强使用反倒故弄玄虚了。

插叙，是在叙述中心事件的过程中，为了帮助展开情节或刻画人物，暂时中断叙述的线索，插入一段与主要情节相关的内容，然后再接着叙述原来的内容。插叙与倒叙的区别在于：插叙只是顺叙中的一个片断，不是全文中心事件的一部分；而倒叙所叙的内容是整个事件中的一个组成部分或一个环节。

如鲁迅的《故乡》中有两处插叙。一处是当我的母亲谈到闰土时，作者用这时候，我的脑海里忽然闪出一幅神异的图画来。引出对少年闰土形象的插叙。另一处是对杨二嫂形象的回忆。这两处插叙使闰土、杨二嫂过去与现在的不同形象及不同生活境况形成鲜明对比，充实了文章内容，深入发掘了主题思想。插叙的内容应能对中心内容起补充、解释或衬托作用，根据中心内容的需要可长可短，但不能超越表现中心思想的范围，否则会喧宾夺主、繁琐累赘。使用插叙时，要安排好与中心内容的衔接，使过渡自然，内容贯通一气。

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

写作之前应该把题目确定下来，写作之前应该把文章大概的框架整理出来，只有这样，你的文字才能在这种框架内很流畅的展示出来，你的文章才会让阅读的人感觉很棒，很精彩。下面是小编为你带来的2017中考作文写作技巧汇总，欢迎阅读。

1、充分发挥自己的优势。

擅长形象思维、会刻画人物的同学可选择记叙文，擅长抒情的同学可选择散文。初中生一般不提倡写议论文。

2、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。

3、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。

4、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。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。

5、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。

6、一定要完篇。

熟话说，好文章是凤头、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?

7、特别要注意不能缺题。

不是万不得已，不要以话题做标题。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。

8、文章要有一至两个亮点。

学而思老师建议：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12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。

作文考察的是学生综合语文运用能力，有些考生会比较害怕作文，今天就和那些作文比较差的、害怕写作文的同学们分享一个高考作文的小技巧，欢迎阅读。

第1段150字左右：写出中心论点，首选单句形式，且是判断句或肯定句。绝对不用复句(复句容易走题，影响得分)，点出写作的由头，作文题中含有的提示性文字材料，一定要有所涉及。

第2段200字左右：段首讲述分论点一，如第一节的内容是几个分论点的简单组合，则“分论点一”适宜放在段尾。这样和分论点二、分论点三的位置区别开来，使行文有变化。“分论点一”论证不许举例，采用纯分析的说理论据展开。

第3段200字左右：段首讲述分论点二，采用举例论证，首选作文题提示中的例子来分析论证，同时也可辅助一个自己举的例子，自己举的例子要比前例文字少。如没有作文题提示中的例子，则自己举个典型的例子来分析论证，同样要求叙写例子的文字一定要比分析论证的文字少。否则对文体特征会产生重创，影响得分。

第4段200字左右：段首讲述分论点三。采用联系实际举例。这是写作本文的时代意义所在。联系的实际可以是学习、生活、社会任何一个方面，目的是或提高思想认识，或明确是非正邪，或提出解决的方法途径，或揭示某种疑难迷惑，总之要给人以启发。

第5段150字左右：要再现中心论点，扣住中心论点写出作用、意义、号召、展望等。

俗话说：“万事开头难”，作为有志于从事新闻工作的的人来说：好第一篇新闻稿件十分关键。结合具体实践经验，本文将对次做如下论述：

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。

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?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”。

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。

作文在中考语文试卷所占比重之大是人皆共知的，其得分直接影响着中考语文成绩，一篇好的作文得分能在48分以上，而一篇较差的作文得分可能不足30分，要想使中考作文取得一个令人满意的成绩，做到以下几个方面是至关重要的：

一、思想内容应深刻

思想内容深刻是作文得分关键。今年我市高分作文大多是内容丰富，见解深刻的作文，考生或阐述对生活的感悟，或表达自己对生活独到的见解;而那些得分较低的考生作文，内容则显得空洞贫乏，缺少实实在在的内涵，仅仅是凑一些字数，敷衍成一篇非常乏味的“政治式论述题”。因此考生在写作文时一定要结合自己的实际生活阅历，运用自己的眼光去深入思考、提炼作文的主题，表达自己的生活感悟，展示自己的思想境界，写出一篇实实在在的文章，切不可蜻蜓点水一带而过，更不可架空文章。

二、篇章结构应完整

结构完整，这是中考作文最基本的要求。一篇未及完篇的作文，无论语言多么优美，观点如何新颖，也只能归入三类卷，所以在中考作文时一定要避免无结尾作文的出现。如果实在没有时间，也应结合作文的开头急就一个作文结尾。

其次，中考作文一定要做到主题集中，作文应围绕同一主题作深入阐述，切忌东拉西扯，主题涣散甚至无主题。

另外，作文篇幅也应控制在600~700字之间，作文太短了，会让人觉得内容单薄，太长了又会让人感到厌烦。

三、切入角度应新颖

要想在众多的考生作文中脱颖而出，赢得阅卷老师的青睐，作文切入角度的新颖不失为一条行之有效的途径。今年我省的中考作文为半命题作文，大部分的考生都是从题目的提示语中选择一个词语填入题中，如写珍惜拥有的“亲情”、“青春”、“幸福”等，这样的文题当然可以，但写的人多了，阅卷者难免会觉得乏味，如果作文语言不是很精彩，那么你的作文就很难得到高分。但有些考生就很聪明，他们舍弃了这些考生常用的话题，而另辟蹊径，有的写珍惜拥有的“挫折”，有的写珍惜拥有的“对手”等，这样新颖别致的文题就很能引起阅卷老师的注意，如果言之成理或描述得当，则很容易得高分。

四、表达形式应多变

有些学生在写作文时不懂分段，一篇作文就老三段——开头、中间、结尾，甚至全文就一段，这就使得作文显得非常呆滞，难以引起阅卷老师的重视而得不到高分。

而今年我市中考作文形式多样，从体裁上看，有记叙文，有抒情散文，有日记体作文，还有诗歌、戏剧等。在表现形式上，有以题记式开篇的，有以后记式结篇的，还有的将全篇分成几个小片段，每个片段冠以一个小标题，几个片段构成一个有机整体的。这样，多变的形式为作文获得高分加上了一个有力的砝码。

因此学生在平时作文训练时应有意识的加强文体训练，多吸取别人作文的成功经验，努力使自己的作文在形式上不拘一格。

五、语言表达应有味

语言项是作文主要采分点。考生在平时的作文训练中，应尽量提高自己的语言表达能力，并力争形成自己的语言风格。

今年我市中考作文在语言表达上可谓异彩纷呈：有俏皮幽默的，有老成持重的，有清新亮丽的，有古朴典雅的……优美有味的语言让阅卷老师拍案叫绝，也为作文获得高分提供有力保障。

尽管语言优美是较高要求，需长期努力训练方能得到，但我们在平时作文训练时注意提炼语言则很必要，也很有效。语言是作文的外在表现形式，阅卷者在判你作文时首先就是看你的语言，语言不够精彩就可能失去得高分的机会，因为中考阅卷时间紧、任务重，每篇作文在阅卷者眼中停留的时间一般只有一分钟左右，在这么短的时间内，阅卷者是不可能细细琢磨推敲你的作文的，如果你的作文开头就显得很拖沓，写了一大段还没写到点子上，那么你的作文可能就要面临得低分的命运了。

因此，考生在写作文时开头应简洁，并迅速入题，尽量做到语言表达的生动精彩。作文中间段落每段开头的语言应简洁生动，并尽量在每段开头用优美的语句概括本段内容或紧扣作文主旨。作文的结尾更要注意锤炼语言并再扣主题，如能用画龙点睛式的句子突出中心或升华中心，则效果更好，应尽量避免使用“所以”“因此”一类的字眼作总结，因为这样很容易让人觉得你不是在写作文，而是在回答问答题。

六、卷面书写应工整

卷面是作文的门面，卷面书写洁净工整会让人赏心悦目，能博得阅卷老师的好感;而卷面脏乱不堪的作文只能让阅卷者望而生厌，难得高分。

我省从去年开始，中考命题时就已把卷面书写列为得分项，分值为8分，由此可见对卷面书写要求之高。今年我市考生卷面书写质量有很大程度提高，脏乱差的卷面数量大幅度减少。但仍有为数不少的考生卷面不够整洁，乱涂乱抹，这就直接影响了他的作文得分。

当然语文考试的书写不同于书法，只要你的字迹工整，卷面整洁就可以了。我们在平时的写作时注意养成一种良好的习惯，写作时细心些，少写或不写错别字，如遇确实要修改的地方，千万不要在错误的地方肆意涂抹，你可以用小括号把错的地方括起来再用笔在错的地方轻轻的划一条横线，这样你的卷面就不会很差了。

1.According to a recent survey, four million people die each year from diseases linked to smoking. 依照最近的一项调查，每年有4，000，000人死于与吸烟有关的疾病。

2. The latest surveys show that quite a few children have unpleasant associations with homework.最近的调查显示相当多的孩子对家庭作业没什么好感。

3. No invention has received more praise and abuse than Internet. 没有一项发明像互联网一样同时受到如此多的赞扬和批评。

4. Many experts point out that physical exercise contributes directly to a person’s physical fitness.

许多专家指出体育锻炼直接有助于身体健康。

5.写信的开头：Very glad to receive your letter of July 13.

6.One day after school,XiaoMing passed a Café on his way home.

7.The boss had no choice but to let him in.

8.How he enjoyed himself on the computer!

9.Walking home full of fear,he was sure that he would be scolded.

10.However,other students are against the idea.

11.Sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us.

13.The girl whose composition was well written is spoken highly of.

14.No matter what he says，I won’t believe.

15. Thanks to the good weather，our journey was comfortable.

16. At the news of his death，she went pale with sorrow.

高考作文最重要的一个技巧，就是卷面工整，字迹清晰。阅卷老师在打分时，第一眼看到的就是考生的字迹，所以作文想要得高分，就要先把字写好。切记不要字迹潦草。

考生在写作文的时候，要注意分段。如果是3、4个段落，则显得过少，8、9个段落，则显得比较琐碎。段落过多和过少都会引起阅卷老师的视觉疲劳，从而会影响分数。其实，对于作文分段中，还是要以五六个最佳。这样的段落分布是最舒服的。

高考作文中，一般都是自命题作文或是半命题作文。如果题目起的好，作文就成功了一半了。考生在平时写作文时，在作文题目上就要多加练习，可以自己去网上搜一些题目写作方法和技巧，多加练习。

考生在写高考作文时，先不要着急动笔，要先列提纲比较好。在写作文的时候，列提纲是很关键的。考生在列提纲的时候，要注意把开头和结尾写的详细一些。另外，高考考试时间有限，所以列提纲的时候，时间要掌握好，5-8分钟最佳。

1、写语言 “言为心声。”恰当的语言能生动地表现出人物的身份、爱好、思想和性格。但要注意，语言描写一定要符合 人物的年龄、地位、教养、爱好和所处的环境及思想性格特点，要有利展示人物特点，表达中心。

2、写心理活动 心理活动就是人物的思想活动。人物想什么，怎样想，都直接展示人物的精神世界，是表现人物特点，表明中 心的重要渠道，所以它是把人物写活了不可缺少的重要方面。 人物心理活动描写分两种情况：一种是直接描写，适应于写自己或以第三人称他人的文章;另一种是通过记叙 作者的心理活动，间接地展示文章主人公的性格特点或精神品质。

3、写典型具体的事例 常言说：“空口无凭。”人物的性格特点、精神品质，只能融入具体的事例中，才会令人信服，才会产生真实 的感染力。因此，要写好人物，还哟啊选取最能表现人物性格特点，表现文章中心思想的典型、具体的事例进 行描写，这样我们塑造人物才能有血有肉，活灵活现。

4、写外貌 写外貌就是描写人物的五官长相、个头体态、音容笑貌、衣着打扮等。“人心不同，各如其面。”是说人的好 坏可以通过外貌表现出来。当然，这并不准确，但一定程度上，外貌特征确实能够表现人物的某些内心、性格 、品质特点。如“头发花白”可以说明人物年龄大;“皱纹深、皮肤黑而粗糙、高大魁梧”可以表明人物饱经风霜、个性坚毅刚强;“浅浅的酒窝、乌黑明亮的眼睛”可以反映人物聪明活泼的特点等。 人物外貌描写，可以一次集中写，也可以随着叙事或故事情节的发展分散去写。采用哪中的方法要由文章的结 构和表达需要来定。但要注意，无论怎样写，写哪些，写多少都必须能为表现人物特点，突出表达中心思想服务。

5、写动作 高尔基说过，为了使作品具有说服、教育的力量，要尽可能使主人公“多行动、少说话”。这就是强调动作描 写是人物描写的中心环节。其实，动作就是人物思想活动的一种表现形式，一定程度上也反映了人物的某种精 神品质。如“一路上他又蹦又跳”中的动作描写表现了人物内心的喜悦：“他咬紧牙关，使出浑身力气向前扑 去”中的动作描写揭示了人物坚强勇敢的品质等。 动作描写时，一定要用词准确、精练，并且要很好地为表现人物特点及中心思想服务，否则就会变得罗嗦多余。

(一)紧扣命题意图和写作要求

拿到作文题目后，要先弄清楚题目的意义、范围、中心，确定文章的体裁、题材、字数要求，再围绕中心选择材料，合理布局谋篇，运用恰当的表达方式进行写作。

1、确立准确的内容——在最短的时间内找到最适合自己的写作内容

(1)思维的发散

在落笔成文前，一定要慎重，要考虑到尽可能多的写作内容。

①充分利用作文题中的提示性语言，获得写作内容

如：也许你被真挚的母爱感动过，也许你被善良的帮助感动过，也许你为奥运会场升起的五星红旗流过热泪，也许你为无私的友谊掀起过情感的波澜……

请以“感动”为话题写一篇作文，文体不限，题目自拟。

作文题中的“也许…也许……也许……也许……”的提示语，没有内容写的同学完全可以把这段话作为自己的写作材料，写母爱、帮助、友谊等带给自己的感动。

②开辟独特、新颖的角度

A、类似联想

如由“花与刺”联想到阳光与阴影、成功与挫折、优点与缺点等。

B、内敛式联想

由如“英雄”联想到课堂上的英雄、公交车上的英雄、联欢会上的英雄等

C、逆反式联想

如由“心事”联想到“我没有心事”;由“感动”联想到自己是不懂感动的人，在母爱面前一点一点被征服被融化被感动的过程。

D、虚实转换联想

如写“位置”，可以实写班级的座位、一个人的职务等，也可以虚写自己在别人心目中的地位，人在自然界中的地位等等。

(2)思维的归纳

①写自己熟悉的内容——不要选择自己一知半解的事情作为写作材料。

②写自己能驾驭的内容——由自己的认知水平、思想深度和语言表达能力决定。

2、突出明确的中心

(1)符合题意

准确把握文章题目的范围和内涵，注意培养明确点明中心的意识。为此，可在文章内容构思好后，围绕中心编写几句(段)话，将它们安插在文章的开头、结尾或者文章的过渡、转折的地方，既提醒自己不要偏离中心，也提醒阅卷老师你有明确的中心意识。

(2)提升中心的品位

①要有深刻的思想

②有小中见大的眼光

③有化实为虚的能力

④有时代意识

⑤有新颖的角度

例如：以“风”为话题的作文，可以化实为虚，由不同季节的风的特点联想到不同性格的人;可以联系时代，写社会上的各种风气;可以联系自己，写中学生中流行的一些风气;可以由风想到沙尘暴等社会问题;由风想到关于风筝的记忆┅┅

(二)构思

1、探究下笔的角度

(1)视角的转换

同样一件事，观察者的身份、角度、立场、观念、态度不同，得到的印象和结论也不会相同。如果我们能换一个视角来叙述生活中的平凡小事，就能发掘出新意来。如同样是写“我”在公共汽车上让座，有位同学的满分作文就改变了习惯的视角，借一位需要座位的老大爷的心灵和眼睛，生动表现了一位中学生在让座与不让座之间徘徊犹豫的复杂矛盾的心理。

(2)故事新编

对于人人所熟知的材料，我们可以结合主题，从全新的角度下笔，设计出合理的细节，使自己地文章脱颖而出。如“诚信”为话题的满分作文《赤兔之死》，题材出自《三国演义》中关羽走麦城一节，通过虚构的赤兔马与伯喜的对话，对比董卓、吕布、关羽等人在诚信方面的表现，最后得出“士为知己而死，人因诚信而存”的观点。

故事新编必须注意三个方面：①对原着有较清晰的印象，避免张冠李戴，闹出笑话;

③想象要合理;③要突出中心。

(三)表达技巧

1、重视描写的运用

(1)描写人物语言——生动活泼、有个性

(2)描写人物动作——细描个体动作、精写连续动作(见片段1、2)

(3)描写人物心理——以景物映衬、以动作和神态暗示

(4)描写人物肖像——个体神态、描画笑容

(5)描写景物——映衬写景(衬托人物心理)、以景析理(情景交融)

2、精妙的表现手法

(1)借物抒情，化直接为含蓄，如《背影》

(2)妙用修辞，蕴深意于物象，如片段3

(3)双线展开，相得益彰，如片段4

(4)借助蒙太奇(将全文所表现的内容分为许多不同地镜头，然后有机地组合起来，产生连贯、呼应、对比、暗示、联想等作用)如片段5

3、展示才情和文化底蕴
