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”.

[感恩节英语作文写作

导语：小编给大家介绍一种写作方法，叫插叙记述法，是不是有点陌生呢，没关系，下面小编跟大家细说，附带优秀例文给大家参考~欢迎阅读~

插叙记述法，亦称忙里偷闲法。它是指在顺叙过程中为了某种表达的需要，暂时中断原来的叙述，穿插与中心事件有关的内容，穿插完毕再回到原来事件的叙述中去的写作方法。

插叙记述法的作用在于：一、增大容量，深化主旨。插叙是在重点叙述主线的同时，顺便把一些次要事实加以叙述。这样，主次互为补充，主干便会更加丰满，主题的开拓更加深广，事件更为完整，人物心灵的展现更加充分。二、发展情节，调整结构。文章之道，在于有张有弛，有断有续。插叙使本来一泻无余的情节暂时停一停，缓急相济，文章结构便呈现出变化之美。在变化中情节也得以发展。

使用插叙应该注意：一、善于选择时机。什么时机是最合适的呢?林纾在《春觉斋论文》中说：“非插笔则眉目不清”、“非插笔则纲要不得”时才用。二、插叙部分要简明扼要。三、插叙的起讫点要自然、清楚。

例如唐?的《同志的信任》(九年义务教育三年制初级中学教科书《语文》第二册，人民教育出版社1993年版)，先写鲁迅收信、看信，再插叙方志敏同志的革命事迹和写密信、文稿的经过，最后写鲁迅转信。文章记叙了一件事的两个方面：方志敏对鲁迅的信任，鲁迅冒着危险完成重托。文章插叙的篇幅虽然较多，但由于选择的时机适当，起讫点自然、清楚，所以，文章有力地表现了鲁迅是共产党人“能以生命相托付的、最可信任的同志”的主题。

心灵深处的记忆

他那双干树枝般的手紧紧抓住我的手。他使尽了全身的力气把头从枕头上抬起，眼角边的泪珠闪着闪着。突然间，那颤抖的手渐渐松开了，垂落到床边。头重重地落在枕头上。随着那颗泪珠的滑下，他停止了呼吸。一盏熬干了的油灯，闪了最后一下就消失了。

我完全失去了感觉，什么也不知道，什么也看不见，什么也说不出。我只想大喊，但又喊不出。眼泪在眼眶里打转，却偏不流下来。我真的不愿让他这样永远离开我。

他，就是我的外公。一个我最尊敬、最爱戴的亲人。

自从我知道家中有一个很严厉的老者是我外公时，他就一直在我身边……

我的外公是个很爱劳动的人，几乎不怎么闲着。正因为这一点，他一直教育我要热爱劳动，也要珍惜别人的劳动成果。

而那时还年幼无知的我懂得什么?一张白白的纸也许会被我无情地撕毁;半碗香喷喷的米饭我竟“种”了一地，等等、等等。这些天天发生的“悲剧”一直都是外公责骂我的原因。除此以外，我似乎是外公最疼爱的小外孙了。于是，我对外公的责骂采取了无动于衷的态度。

一次，外公让我尝到了自己的劳动成果不被人珍惜的滋味。从那以后，我像变了一个人一样。那时，我才4岁。一天，我拿着一张我辛辛苦苦画了两三个小时才画成的画去给外公看，想得到外公的表扬。外公接过画，看了一眼，没说什么，“嘶啦”一声，把我的画撕成了两半。我一下子惊呆了，直瞪瞪看着外公的脸，想在他脸上找出答案。可外公只是笑，我看出他是在笑我。我气极了，随即大哭起来。而当我抽泣着抹干眼泪时，外公走过来抚摸了一下我的头。接着，他严肃地用手指在头顶上画着圈，学着一休的样子，……噢，他是在暗示我动脑筋想想。我诧异地盯着外公的眼睛，真的静下来思考了。我想到外公平时教育我的话：“要爱惜别人的劳动成果……”，可今天外公怎么……我看见外公正在用笑眯眯的眼睛望着我，好像在说：“傻孩子，明白了吗?”直到现在我还时时欣赏我那时的聪明——竟然能从外公的一举一动中明白他的用意……从那以后我真改掉了许多坏毛病，而外公便是我最敬佩的人了……

一转眼，两个穿白衣服的医务人员把白布蒙到了外公的脸上。这意味着什么，我很明白，我想不让他们把外公带走，感到会永远见不到外公了。可我动不了，不知为什么。接着，他们抬走了外公，我的眼泪也流了下来，眼前的一切都被眼泪弄得模糊了。

原来那无知的小外孙，长成今天的我，多少个想念外公的时刻，我已记不得了。外公给我讲的许多故事，唱的许多童谣在我的意识里也模糊了许多;唯有一种思想、一种品德，是他用心教我的，永远印在我的心灵深处。

Study is the necessary process that everyone need to experience. And then exam will follow. To obtain a good score, review is inevitable. Almost everyone wants to find the best review method. But there is no best review method, but there is the most suitable way. Different people will find different methods for them to do review. For example, some students should study in group, while some should study alone. When recite things, some need to write it down, some need to speak loudly, and some just need to read it. Different methods just depend on different people. Don’t compare with others; just find the most suitable one for yourself.

学习是每个人都必须要经历的过程。然后考试就随之而来了。为了获得好成绩，复习是必须的。几乎每个人都想找到最好的复习方法。但是，没有最好的只有最适合的复习方法。不同的人会找到不同的复习方法。例如，一些学生适合集体学习，而一些则应该独自学习。在背诵东西的时候，有些需要写下来，有些需要大声说出来，而有些则只需要看看。不同的人依赖于不同的方法。不要与他人相比较;找到最适合自己的。

如今，语文也日渐成为各重点中学选拔学生的标准之一，但是如何在语文上拿高分，让很多学生以及家长备受煎熬。今天我们就从语文的最大得分点——作文入手，为大家讲解""中应该注意的事项。

一篇好的作文除了要具备健康鲜明的主题，优美生动的文字以外，还要有一个完整、连贯、流畅的结构，我们把它归结为八个字，那就是"上下贯通，首尾相援"。

文章结构必须上下贯通，首尾相援，这也是作者思路的连贯性在文章中的体现，这种形式的连贯同时也能够体现文意的连贯，即形式服务于内容。文章的各部分之间，段落之间，前后语句间都要紧密连接，通篇一贯，这样的结构才能严谨、完美。好的结构会使文章主题鲜明突出，内容清晰完整，过渡自然流畅，文章整体和谐统一。否则，如果信马由缰，文章结构势必混乱无章，主次不分，再典型生动的材料恐怕也难以吸引读者去阅读和欣赏。"思想是有一条路的，一句一句，一段一段都是有路的，好文章的作者是决不乱走的。"（叶圣陶《认真学习语文》）。

文章结构必须细密周严，层层衔接，无懈可击，任何一篇文章都应是一个有机完整的整体，因此，我们在写作文时要在选好材料的情况下精心安排语句段落间的过渡与衔接，开头与结尾的关照与呼应，做到前后勾联，相互顾及，防止脱节，顾此失彼。

一、格外重视文章的线索。

所谓线索就是贯穿在整篇文章中情节发展与思想感情发展的路线，它像链条一样穿结着文章里全部的人物、事件和景物，让文章成为一个统一的艺术整体。在记叙文中，它把一个个彼此相关的事件及人物贯穿在一起，推进情节的发展，彰显主题；抒情性的文字中，线索又成了咏物抒怀、托物寓意的凭借，使主题突出，形散神聚。

初中课本中《藤野先生》一文以作者的爱国主义思想为明线，以作者与藤野先生的交往为暗线，把若干情节与事件有机的联系在一起，集中体现了藤野先生对学生严格要求，求实严谨，没有狭隘的民族偏见等高尚品质，这两条线索互相交融，但目标一致，都起到了贯穿全文的作用。如《感受真挚的友谊》一文，小作者以"友谊"为线索，架设小标题，向我们展现了小学生生活中三个典型画面，表现了自己与同学之间深深的友谊。而《感受友情的四季》一文更是以四季中的春、夏、秋、冬为线索，通过恰切、生动的比喻，抒写自己对友情如四季真挚感怀，以四季贯穿全文，新颖别致，使文章结构整齐划一，条理清晰，让人耳目一新。

二、严密紧凑，顺理成章。

这就是说文章的布局应该注重衔接，注重段落语句之间的过渡，前后关联，这样才不会造成各部分内容的疏散与脱离。

1．谈谈过渡。过渡是文章内容连贯的一种重要方法。好的过渡能够使文章前后衔接，自然流畅，天衣无缝。如我们学过的《从百草园到三味书屋》一文第9段"我不知道为什么家里的人要将我送进书塾里去了------Ade,我的蟋蟀们！Ade,我的覆盆子们和木莲们！……"很明显这是一个过渡段，巧妙地将白草园与三味书屋两段生活联结起来。又如《感受幸福》一文开头一段，"现在我终于明白了，原来它就在我的身边"一句，既回答了上文关于"幸福在哪里"的疑问，又自然地引起下文，写"我"对幸福的体验过程。

2．谈谈照应。照应是指文章前后内容之间的关照响应。前面的内容要有呼应后面的情节，前面也要埋下伏笔。在形式上照应有三种方式，一是结尾和开头的照应；二是伏笔和关键语句的照应；三是正文和标题的照应。

首尾照应是写作中常见的照应形式。开头结尾是文章的有机组成部分，好的开头能够帮助读者抓住要领，感受全文，好的结尾能够使文章的主旨更加明确，主题得到升华。而首尾照应则体现了两者的有机结合，更能突出文章的主题。如《感受友谊的枫叶》一文，小作者从不经意间发现的藏在书中的半片枫叶凝神沉思写起，道出了这代表友谊的半片枫叶的来由，结尾处以"很久很久，我才回过神来，又将那半片枫叶放回了书里"收篇，很自然地照应了开头"我将它拿起，放在手中，默默地站在那儿想了很久"，文章首尾圆合，浑然一体。再看《感受团结的力量》一文，小作者以散文化的笔法描述了几个花须经历了风雨的洗礼，造就了脉脉的芳香，但并未注意到首尾的呼应。开头写道，茉莉花虽无艳丽的外表，但香气脉脉而高雅，结尾处写"盛开的花代表了友谊的结晶，花下的世界，永远存在着那几个根须"，让人联想到花开的艳丽，与"脉脉的香气"是不吻合的，这也正是此文的重要缺憾之一。

正文与开头的照应能够使主题更加明确，中心更加突出。我们看一下《感受幸福》一文的结尾："如果有来生，我还要感受一下这辈子的幸福生活"，这一句意在照应文章的标题，然而语言过于平淡，格调低落，使人产生一种消极的情绪，不符合新时期少年儿童所应该拥有的心态，因而降低了文章的格调，这是我们在写作时要十分注意的。

一篇好的作文是讲究构造艺术的，而这个艺术的核心正是使文章"上下贯通，首尾相援"的艺术，做到这一点，也就做到了文章的通篇连贯，和谐一致，我们在作文时千万不要忽视它。

前伏后应的照应也是照应的基本方式之一。《感受友谊的枫叶》的小作者就注意到了这一点。文章的第三段"那是一个深秋的晚上"道出了故事发生的季节是深秋的时节，而此时也是枫叶正红的时候，为后文的"从高高的树上落下了一片火红的枫叶"伏下了很好的一笔，不得不赞叹小作者在构思上的精雕细琢。

以写人为主的记叙文主要是通过对人物外貌、语言、动作、心理活动的描写和典型事例的叙述来反映人物的思想、性格、品质、作风等特点。下面是小编为你带来的小学生写人作文写作方法，希望对你有帮助。

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

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

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

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

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

一、写一个人。

记一个人的写人记叙文，大致有以下三种情况：

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

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

2、要写出事情的发展过程，使人物的形象逐步完整。

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

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

(二)通过几件事写一个人。

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

通过几件事写一个人，要注意以下几点：

1、几件事不能相互矛盾，，人物的性格在几件事中要和谐、统一。

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

3、通过对比的方法写一个人。

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

通过对比的方法写一个人要注意：

(1)要突出主要人物及其主要特点。

(2)要写出人物的真实表现，不要捏造事实，采用拔高或贬低的方法。

二、写两个人

写两个人，一般是写《我和**》，**应包括亲人、同学、朋友、老师等熟悉的人，要写好这一类型的作文必须注意：

(一)要写好人物之间的联系。《我和**》，题目中突出了一个“和”字，这就要求从双方写起，通过具体的事例，写出“我”和**之间的联系。在叙事过程中，要写出彼此之间都想了些什么，说了些什么，做了些什么。只有从双方落笔，才能把握住题目要求写的重点。

(二)用对话展开情节。写《我和**》作文时，由于要写出两个人之间的关系，所以一定要写好两个人之间的对话。要用对话展开情节，用对话表现文章的中心。

三、写几个人。

写几个人是比较复杂的以写人为主的记叙文，可以写“一家子”、“这一班”，也可以写“几个小伙伴”。总之，不论是家庭的，学校的、社会的，只要是自己熟悉的几人都行。

这类作文有以下几种写法。

(一)列人物表似的介绍。

(二)有代表性的介绍。

(三)以一件事为线索写几个人。

(四)通过几件事写几个人。

1．词语选择的重要性

在The Right Word at the Right Time的“序言”中，编者对词语选用的重要性作了一个很好的比喻：“Using the right word at the right time is rather like wearing appropriate clothing for the occasion：

it is a courtesy to others，and a favor to yourself-a matter of presenting yourself well in the eyes of the world."

显然，说话或写文章时用词适当比穿着适当难度大得多，因而也具有更大的重要性。在我国，古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想，因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。

成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔，或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。

2．词语选择的可能性

实际上，我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库，只要我们肯去发掘，往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。

从客观条件广看，我们有各种类型的词典和参考书，只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读，写作时勤查考，就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然，一部好词典也不会毫无缺点，更难以面面俱到，因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话：

1、记“成功”之举

将教学过程中达到预先设计的目的、引起教学共振效应的做法；课堂教学中临时应变得当的措施；层次清楚、条理分明的板书；某些教学思想方法的渗透与应用的过程；教育学、心理学中一些基本原理使用的感触；教学方法上的改革与创新等等，详细得当地记录下来，供以后教学时参考使用，并可在此基础上不断地改进、完善、推陈出新。

2、记“败笔”之处

即使是成功的课堂教学也难免有疏漏失误之处，对它们进行回顾、梳理，并对其作深刻的反思、探究和剖析，使之成为以后再教时应吸取的教训。

3、记教学机智

课堂教学中，随着教学内容的展开，师生的思维发展及情感交流的融洽，往往会因为一些偶发事件而产生瞬间灵感，这些“智慧的火花”常常是不由自主、突然而至，若不及时利用课后反思去捕捉，便会因时过境迁而烟消云散，令人遗憾不已。

4、记学生见解

在课堂教学过程中，学生是学习的主体，他们总会有“创新的火花”在闪烁，教师应当充分肯定学生在课堂上提出的一些独到的见解，这样不仅使学生的好方法、好思路得以推广，而且对他们也是一种赞赏和激励。同时，这些难能可贵的见解也是对课堂教学的补充与完善，可拓宽教师的教学思路，提高教学水平。因此，将其记录下来，可以作为以后丰富教学的材料养分。

5、记再教设计

一节课下来，静心沉思，摸索出了哪些教学规律；教法上有哪些创新；知识点上有什么发现；组织教学方面有何新招；解题的诸多误区有无突破；启迪是否得当；训练是否到位等等。及时记下这些得失，并进行必要的归类与取舍，考虑一下再教这部分内容时应该如何做，写出“再教设计”，这样可以做到扬长避短、精益求精，把自己的教学水平提高到一个新的境界和高度。总之，写课后反思，贵在及时，贵在坚持，贵在执着地追求。一有所得，及时记下，有话则长，无话则短，以记促思，以思促教，长期积累，必有“集腋成裘、聚沙成塔”的收获。

四级作文考查的是写作的基本功，其准确用词包括三重含义：一是书写正确，即拼写和大小写等无误；二是词义正确，即所用的词确定能表达自己的意图；三是用法正确，包括词的语法搭配关系和意义搭配关系等。

选词的标准是：所选的词应该准确达意，通俗易懂，并符合英语的表达习惯。选词的重要性我们不再赘述，这里我们着重介绍由于用词不当而造成的错误现象。错误现象的成因很多，而形近词的误用是出错的重要原因之一。比如：有个美国学生在作文中这样写道：My goal in life is to be a success, and when I retire I want to devote my money to philandering。这个学生把最后一个词弄错了，他原来想说的词是philanthropy，结果意思相差十万八千里。

下面我们从句子和段落两方面，通过具体实例来说明选词在短文写作中的重要性，以及因为选词不当而造成的错误现象。

【例1】 Good study habits attributed to his performance on tests。

【分析】该句中的attributed to意为把归于；认为是的原因，用在这是不符合句意的。我们知道contribute to意为助于；促成，所以这里是因词义混淆而产生的句子的逻辑错误。

【更正】Good study habits contribute to his performance on tests。

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。

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。

一、充分准备，打好基础。

为了提高初一英语作文写作水平，平时应加强阅读，多背诵一些句形、段落甚至短文。俗话说：读书破万卷，下笔如有神，只有多读，多记，多背诵，才能出口成章，下笔成文。此外，写好初一英语作文还要掌握一些应用文体的写作方法，如书信、日记、通知等，它们大多有固定的格式。

二、认真审题，明确要求

在写初一英语作文的时候仔细看清写作要求和提示，分清材料的主次，接着确定体裁、格式和人物、地点等要素；最后确定时态，同时考虑相关的语态搭配用法。 三、遣词造句、表达规范

初一英语作文用词要恰当，不可逐句把提示翻译成英语。写作时，应尽量选用你最熟悉、最有把握的词和句型来表达思想。如果有些单词不会些，有些句型不会表达，可以设法绕开，用熟悉的同义词、同义短语或同义句来代替。要学会善于运用适当的关联词，如and, or, but, so，because, since等，以使初一英语作文行文逻辑紧密，自然流畅。 四、认真撰写，卷面整洁

初一英语考试中也会有初一英语作文题，如果时间允许，书面表达一定要先写草稿。在抄写入答题卷前，要先进行检查修改。首先检查所写内容是否切题；之后检查主题是否明确，表达方式是否恰当；最后检查所用时态、语态、人称是否符合要求，前后是否一致。 中考复习研讨会指导课件，极具价值。 关联词

1.表示并列或递进: and, as well as, both&and, not only&but also, neither&nor;2.表示选择: or, either∨3.表示转折: but, however, although, though, after all, 4.表示因果: because, so, therefore5.表示条件: if , unless6.表示对比: instead, not&but, on the one hand&on the other hand;7.表示解释: for example, for instance, such as, that is to say, in other words;8.表示顺序: to begin with, firstly, first (of all), second(ly), next, later, since then, from then on, finally, in the end;9.表示强调: also, besides, what’s more, actually, in fact, 10.表示结论: all in all, altogether, in a word, generally speaking,

理解了不同类型的想象作文的不同写法，才能有的放矢。针对小学生的年龄特征，可以从以下方面进行训练。想象作文是对想象的场景或事物的描述。下面是小编整理的想象作文的写作方法，希望对你有帮助！

1、创设情境法。

如：创设特定的情境：“星期天，我穿上一双崭新的足球鞋，急匆匆地下楼……”让学生想象下楼后会发生什么事，会出现怎样的情景。

2、情节改写法。

如：续写《狐假虎威》：当狐狸成功骗过老虎逃脱后，再次遇上老虎发生了什么事情。更有甚者，可以改变故事的内容。如：大家熟知的童话故事《小刺猬美容记》可用以小刺猬美容为主题编写一个新故事。有个孩子编的故事很有趣，他写世界各国的刺猬要参加选美大赛，各国刺猬按本国标准进行了美容，准备去参赛，例如阿拉伯刺猬头裹长巾，身披白袍;美国刺猬用油彩把刺涂成七色，像条彩虹……孩子想象多么新奇有趣。

3、编写故事。

以词句联缀法为例。给学生几个看似风马牛不相及的词句，让学生在一个特定的情节中，以这些词句为线索展开想象，编一个有情节有内容的故事，写一篇作文。如：特级教师贾志敏在《怎样写一件事》的电视作文教学中用，“闷热、冷饮、青蛙、一元钱”几个词语，让学生编一个故事情节完整的记叙文。结果学生思维活跃，编了一个个故事情节生动有趣的故事，想象力受到有效的训练。

4、畅想未来。

如理想型想象作文，通过对自身能力和未来的想象，表达自己的生活理想，如《假如我会飞》、《假如我是校长》。又如，幻想型想象作文，通过对未来和外层空间的想象，表达对人类未来的美好憧憬和向往，如《海底住宅》、《太空旅行记》。可以引导学生以科学的思维形式表达自己的幻想，在幻想天地间翱翔。

此外，作为老师和家长还要引导学生平时多读有益的课外书，多参加有益的社会活动，以此来充实自己，丰富自己。只有把两者结合起来，才能有效地提高学生的作文能力和创新能力。

如何写景，这在很大部分学生的头脑中还很模糊，以下是小编搜索整理一篇写景作文的关键方法，欢迎大家阅读!

1、充分掌握景物描写的顺序。

其实，写景作文的常见顺序是很少的，主要就是时间、空间和作者主观观察等几个方面。所以请你牢记这几个顺序，自己在写作文的时候也按照这几个方向思考。

按时间顺序写。《美丽的小兴安岭》一文是按一年四季的时间变化规律来写的。

按空间顺序写。如《三味书屋》一文的第二段是按空间顺序写的：书屋正中的墙上挂着一幅画。画前面是先生的座位。学生的书桌分列在四面，鲁迅的那一张在东北角上。

按作者的观察顺序写。如《长城》一文是按观察顺序写的。远观：“看长城，像一条长龙，在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。”近观：“站在长城上，踏着脚下的方砖，扶着墙上的条石，很自然地想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民来。”

2、理清文章层次。

就写景文章的结构来说，主要有两种：一是常见的总分总结构，包括先总后分、先分后总；另外一种就是移位换景，就是随着作者的脚步来交代眼前所见的景致。前者简单明了，容易掌握，如《美丽的小兴安岭》就是总—分—总的写作顺序；移位换景结构就是按照观察点的转移来写。这时文中一般有明显的提示语，告诉我们作者位置的变化，有助于我们理清层次。如《记金华的双龙洞》一文，按游览顺序（金华—罗甸—路上—洞口—外洞—孔隙—内洞）来写。

3、了解作者的表达方法。

为了更好地说明景物的特点，作者往往会运用比喻、拟人、夸张等写作手法来突出文章的中心，我们要注意分析、总结。如《富饶的西沙群岛》一文中写道：“海底的岩石上长着各种各样的珊瑚，有的像绽开的花朵，有的像分枝的鹿角。”这句话就用了比喻的写法，本体与喻体的相似点是形状。而把“西沙群岛”比作“南大门”，本体与喻体的相似点是意义和作用。运用夸张手法，可以生动、形象、深刻地表情达意。“西沙群岛的海里一半是水，一半是鱼”“西沙群岛也是鸟的天下”，两句都是对“密度”的“高”进行夸张，说明鱼和鸟数量多。

4、体会作者的思想感情。

写景类文章中作者并非为写景而写景，总是会抒发自己的感受和展示自己的内心世界。这就是文章的思想感情。有的借景抒情，有的是情随景生，有的是情景交融，寓情于景，这是我们阅读写景类文章时应把握的重点。

话题作文的评价标准分为基础等级和发展等级两个级别。在“基础等级”中，从题意、文体、思想感情、中心内容、结构语言、书写标点六个方面提出了基本要求;在“发展等级”中，从深刻、丰富、有文采、有创新四个方面提出了评价标准，鼓励学生在作文中创新。

由于话题作文有开放性等特点，一些考生以为话题作文没有严格的要求，不重视审题，随意为文的现象较多。具体说来有这样几种情况：①审题不准，甚至脱离话题;②拟题不动脑筋，有的在话题的后面加“之我见”三字或直接用话题作标题;③误以为“文体自选”是不讲文体，文章写得“四不像”;④思想贫乏，内容空洞无物，不愿在“深刻”上下功夫;⑤照搬照套自己读过的文章，有抄袭之嫌，如2001年以“诚信”为话题，有些考生就将《读者》(2001年第13期)中的《玉》改为自己的作文搬上试卷;还有语言贫乏、语句不通、书写潦草、标点不当等毛病，都值得考生注意。

我们了解了话题作文的特点，接下来就要了解往届考生作文的不足，避免重犯类似的毛病，还要加强针对性的训练。

1.注重积累思想、积累生活，力求作文有一定的深度。高三学生应该关注社会，多读书，广泛储备写作素材。多找一些话题来思考：如教育、奉献、机遇、青春、财富、竞争、成功、素质、人生、环境、资源、网络等，平时有积累、有感受，考时就有可能正常发挥或超水平发挥。

2.加强审题、立意训练。话题作文虽然不像命题作文那样规定过死，但宽也不是漫无边际，宽也有“度”。写话题作文，必须弄清话题的意思、范围。作文立意即确立写作意向，“意”就是文章的主旨，主旨要求正确、深刻、鲜明、新颖。因此，在立意训练中要尽可能多地想出好的立意，然后多中选优，优中选深，深中选新。

3.学会拟标题。题目自拟，给考生提供了一次显示才华的机会。题目像人的前额和眼睛一样重要。题目是给评卷人的第一个印象。拟题要考虑自己所选定的文体和储备的素材以及驾驭的能力。拟题应避免陈题、大而不当的题、太一般化的题。

4.逐条落实“基础等级”要求，重点训练“发展等级”要求。作文评分标准中“基础等级”列出了六项要求，是高中毕业生作文应达到的一般要求。“发展等级”提出了四个方面的要求：深刻、丰富、有文采、有创新，这是作文的较高要求。现在评卷时一般采用“一点给分法”，这四个方面，只要有一个方面十分突出，就可以评10分。对于“发展等级”的10分，我们一定要下气力争取全得或多得。

另外，卷面一定要整洁，书写一定要工整，不要写漏了标题，不要写错别字。考场作文，一定要想好才动笔，不要写几行划掉又重来。

[话题作文的写作方法技巧

近几年来，抒情作文一直很热，那么抒情作文怎么写呢？下面是小编为大家整理的抒情作文写作方法，希望能帮到您！

真情实感是作文的价值所在，魅力所在;胡编乱造，弄虚作假，这是作文的大忌。在2001年各省市的中考作文试题中，直接写明要求有真情实感的就有很多，有的虽然在提示中没有写明，但在评分标准中非常强调。从作文教学的发展趋势看，对作文的真情实感的要求必定会进一步加强，特别是记叙性作文。那么，考场作文中如何才能表达真情实感呢?这里以2001年几篇优秀中考作文为例来具体谈谈。

(1)述亲身经历

写作需要生活，越是亲身经历过、体验过的生活，写在文章中往往就越真实，越感动人。在构思过程中，我们要尽量从自己经历的生活中筛选素材。作为中学生，生活经历也许并不算丰富，但只要认真回忆和筛选，再进行适当的加工和组合，就一定能找到具体的材料，写出充满真情实感的作文。《我发现爸爸老了》是南通市的一篇优秀中考作文，作者写的就是自己亲眼所见的情景：小时候，为了不让我一个人孤零零呆在家里，父亲将两条毛巾平铺在装满秧苗的筐上，用那根我熟悉得不能再熟悉的扁担挑着我，在泥泞不堪的小路上送走了我的童年。当时的父亲，身材魁梧，虎背熊腰，在村里是数一数二的壮汉子;如今，父亲原先那嘹亮清脆的号子声已失去昔日的雄壮，隐约间还夹杂着几丝沙哑，原先油亮的黑发现在已染上了霜色，原先红润的面庞在已渐渐变得土黄，原先笔直的腰杆也略显弯曲……由于都是亲眼所见，印象特别深刻，写出来就有真情实感。

(2)多细节描写

真情实感离不开生动的、典型的细节，细节的多少和真实与否，反映出作者对生活的体验程度，也直接关系到文章的真情实感。如果文章中都是些笼统的、概括的叙述，即使是亲身经历过的，也往往会给人不真实的感觉。细节不细，这个“不细”，就是指它的作用不小。《我喜欢童年的竹林》是荆州市的优秀中考作文，之所以说它有真情实感，就是因为它有生动具体的细节描写，如：伸出手，扶住竹竿使劲一摇，“哗啦”一声，雪花“簌簌”地如天女散花般地飘落下来，洒到我的脖子里，凉丝丝的，滋润我“咯咯”的笑声。又如：有时，我们从家里偷出绳子，牢牢地拴在竹子上，做成秋千。摇啊，荡啊，从秋千底下，摇出我心中的歌。这些细节，不但真实，而且写得也富有诗意。

(3)明人事要素

具体和真实是一对孪生兄弟，要使文章有真情实感，就必须写得具体。虽不能说凡具体就一定真实，但一般而言，具体的叙述往往更能让人信以为真。你简单地说某地发生一件抢劫案，听者不一定会信，假如你有鼻子有眼睛地说，把抢劫的时间、地点、受害人的单位或姓名及被抢劫的数量都说出来了，那别人就会相信。在作文过程中，要尽量写清楚相关的人事要素。人，主要是单位、姓名、年龄、相貌、性格等;事，主要是起因、经过、结果等。《为自己喝彩》是泉州市的中考优秀作文，第一段是这样的：我坐在座位上，手捧着《简?爱》，心无旁骛。忽然不知谁传来消息：“明天要体检了!”体检?我一愣，小心翼翼地探听：“测些什么?”同桌不以为然地说：“身高、体重，这些都免不了呗。”啊，我心里发虚，低头看看自己的“虎背熊腰”，想想矮矮的个儿，听着后排那两个瘦如麻杆、身材苗条的女生半真半假对自己的身段作着自我批评，真是欲哭无泪。这个开头，把什么人、正在干什么、发生了什么、问些什么、想些什么等，都通过对话介绍出来了。因而，给人真实的感觉。

(4)用生活语言

作文是用语言记录生活。作文虽然要对生活进行加工和改造，但必须力求保持生活的原汁原味，尽量有生活气息。用生活语言，就是要正确和准确地反映生活，生活是怎样的就写成怎样的，不要走样，不要变味。《我喜欢童年的竹林》一文中用了不少拟声词，仔细体味，你就会发现用得非常准确，如“哗哗”形容摇竹的声音; 用“簌簌”形容雪花飘落的声音;用“咯咯”表示我们童年快乐时的笑声;用“沙沙沙”表示风吹竹林时的响声……作者把生活中确实如此的声音准确地搬进了文章之中，让人读后自然就觉得亲切感人。用生活语言，还要特别注意人物语言，什么样的人物说什么样的话，老年人有老年人的语言结构和常用词汇，而老年人口中一般就不会有这样的词。语言要符合人物身份，要根据人物的身份、年龄、文化程度和性格特点等来写，尽量写出个性。

(5)露潜在意识

潜在意识，也叫潜意识，指的是人的深层意识，它与浅意识和表层意识相对，它是人最质朴、最本质的心理活动。之所以称“潜”，是因为它隐藏于思维的底层，不经意袒露出来。人类生活是自然界中最为复杂的现象，有许多人，在许多场合想到的意思，往往不能说，不便说，或者不该说，不敢说，有时是为了礼貌，有时是为了工作需要，有时是为了自我保护，想到的而没有说出来的话就是潜意识。每一个人都有潜在意识，而且要比浅意识活跃和丰富，但在作文时，它在很大程度上受到抑制，替代潜意识的往往是那些与心相违的浅意识，这样写出来的作文，当然就没有真情实感。因此，要想作文有真情实感，最好大胆一些，充分展露自己的潜意识，心里是怎样想的，就怎样写。《为自己喝彩》的后半部分有这样几句：晚上，我站在穿衣镜前细细地端详自己。不!我不要这张苦大仇深的脸，我拥有别人没有的优点，我上进、奋发、勇敢，知识填高了我，我有什么好自卑的呢?这几句话，一般人出国留学网是不会公开对人说的，但作者把它写了出来。心里想的就是这样，写出来当然就有了真情实感。

(6)拟相应情景

作文要尽量写自己经历过的事，但有时，从自己的经历中找不到恰当的材料，有时，必须对自己经历过的事作一定的加工和改造。换句话说，作文中的事并不是自己完全或真正经历过的。这能不能给人真情实感呢?应该说，虚构也能做到有真情实感，关键是要注意这两点：一是这种事，自己虽然没有经历过,但现实生活中必定会有，别人肯定经历过;二是要模拟相应生活情景，把自己置于其中，仔细地想一想：假如我在那个时间、那个场所，遇到那样的事会怎么样呢?如果写的是一位老年男子，那么，就不妨借助自己的外公或爷爷，从他们平时的表现中想一想：假如爷爷在遇到这种事时会怎么对待?如果所写的是中年妇女，那不妨借助自己的母亲或邻居的大婶，根据母亲等平时的性格特征和行为习惯，想一想：她会怎样处理这件事?模拟生活情景，转换人物角色，能使虚构的文章多一点真情实感。

四级的考试路数越来越向雅思靠拢了，万一考到十年间只出现过两次的图表类作文该怎么办？没关系，现在小编就教你搞定四级图表作文的方法。

一、柱状图写作技巧

1. 柱状图写作注重比较和对比，也就是说需要横向总结所有柱状图表的共性特征，也要分别描写各个柱子的个性特征。

2. 有两种写作方式：其一是对不同时间段内的数据进行比较，适合于数据代表的物体较少且时间界限明确的情况。另外是对单独数据的全程描述，适合于描述数据对象很多且时间划定不清晰的情况。

柱状图数据描述句型举例：

1) the bar chart shows the changes in the numberofover the period fromto

该柱状图描述了在年之年间数量的变化。

2) the bar chart provides some interesting dataregarding

该柱状图为我们提供了有关有趣数据。

3) this is a bar chart which describes the trend of

该柱状图描述了的趋势。

4) As can be seen from the diagram，great changes have takenplace in

从柱状图中可以看出，发生了巨大变化。

二、曲线图写作技巧

1. 曲线图是动态图，解题的切入点在于描述趋势；

2. 在开头部分对整个曲线进行一个阶段式的总分类；

3. 趋势说明。即，对曲线的连续变化进行说明，如上升、下降、波动、持平。以时间为比较基础的应抓住“变化”：上升、下降、或是波动；

4. 极点说明。即对图表中最高的、最低的点单独进行说明。不以时间为比较基础的应注意对极点的描述。

曲线图数据描述句型举例：

1) The line chart depicts the changes in the number of……over the period from 2010 to 2013．

该曲线图描述了从2010年到2013年……数量的变化。

2) The chart provides some data regarding thefluctuations of…… from 2000 to 2004．

该曲线图描述了从2000年到2004年……的变动。

3) The graph，presented in the curve diagram，shows the general trend in…….

该图以曲线图的形式描述了……总的趋势。

三、表格图写作技巧

1. 表格与饼图一样，都是静态图。切入点在描述分配；

2. 表格题考查列举数字的能力和方法。通过举一些有代表性的数据来说明问题；

3. 横向比较。介绍横向各个数据的区别、变化和趋势；

4. 纵向比较。介绍纵向各个数据的区别、变化和趋势；

5. 不需要将每一个数据分别说明，突出强调数据最大值和最小值；

6. 对比时要总结出数据对比最悬殊的和最小的。

表格图数据描述句型举例

1) This is a table which illustrates……

这个表格向我们展示了……

2) this table shows the changing proportion of a & b from……to……

该表格描述了……年到……年间a与b的比例关系。

3) the table shows the general trend in……

该表格以描述了……总的趋势。

4) this is a table showing……

这是个表格，描述了……

宋代盛行的一种中国文学体裁，宋词是一种相对于古体诗的新体诗歌之一，小编收集了宋词的写作方法，欢迎阅读。

(一)什么是词

词最初称为“曲词”或“曲子词”，是配音乐的。后来逐渐和音乐分离了，成为诗的别体，所以有人把词称为“诗馀”。由于文人的词深受律诗的影响，所以词中的律句特别多。词是长短句，但是全篇的字数、句数是一定的，每句的字数、平仄也是一定的。

词大致可以分为三类：(1)小令;(2)中调;(3)长调。有人认为：58字以内为小令，59～90字为中调，91字以上为长调。这种分法未必科学，但大概情况还是如此的。

(二)词牌的来历

词牌，就是词的格式的名称。词的格式和律诗不同，律诗只有四种格式，而词则总共有两千多种格式(按钦定词谱)。词的这些格式称为词谱。

关于词牌的来源，大概有下面三种情况：

(1)本来是乐曲的名称。如《菩萨蛮》、《西江月》、《风入松》、《蝶恋花》等。这些有的来自于民间，有的来自于宫廷或官方。

(2)摘取一首词中的几个字作为词牌。

(3)本来就是词的题目。《浪淘沙》咏的是浪淘沙，《更漏子》咏夜，《抛球乐》咏抛球，等等。这是最普遍的。凡是词牌下面注明“本意”的，就是说，词牌同时是词题，不另有题目了。

但是，绝大多数的词都不是用“本意”的，因此，词牌之外还有词题。一般在词牌下面或后面注明词题。这种情况下，词题和词牌没有任何联系。一首《浪淘沙》可以完全不提到浪和沙;一首《忆江南》也可以完全不提到江南。这样，词牌只不过是词谱的代号罢了。

(三)单调、双调、三叠、四叠

词有单调、双调、三叠、四叠的分别。

1、单调的词往往就是一首小令，它很象一首诗，不过是长短句罢了。

2、双调的词可以是小令、中调或长调。双调就是把一首词分成前后(或上下)两阕。两阕的字数相等或基本相等平仄、句式相同或部分相同，也可以完全不同。字数、平仄、句式相同的就象一首曲子配着两段歌词。字数、平仄、句式不相同的，往往是开头几句不一样，叫做“换头”。

3、三叠就是三段，如《兰陵王》、《西河》等。四叠就是四段，仅《莺啼序》一调。不再详述!

二、正体和变体

(一)正体和变体，二者的区别和联系

在读宋词时，有时会遇到这样一种情况，两首词的词牌一样，但是字数、句数、句读、押韵等方面却不完全相同，这是因为词牌有正体和变体之分。如《卜算子》：

《卜算子》

四十四字 双调。别名:《缺月挂疏桐》《百尺楼》《楚天遥》《眉峰碧》等

●正体

仄仄仄平平，仄仄平平仄。仄仄平平仄仄平，仄仄平平仄。

仄仄仄平平，仄仄平平仄。仄仄平平仄仄平，仄仄平平仄。

《卜算子》宋· 苏轼

缺月挂疏桐，漏断人初静。时见幽人独往来，缥缈孤鸿影。

惊起却回头，有恨无人省。拣尽寒枝不肯栖，寂寞沙洲冷。

《卜算子 》宋·陆游

驿外断桥边，寂寞开无主。已是黄昏独自愁，更著风和雨。

无意苦争春，一任群芳妒。零落成泥碾作尘，只有香如故。

●变体(一)

下阕首句变“仄仄平平仄”，四十四字

例：《卜算子》宋·严蕊

不是爱风尘，似被前缘误。花落花开自有时，总赖东君主。

去也终须去，住也如何住!若得山花插满头，莫问奴归处。

●变体(二)首句变“平平仄仄平”，四十四字

《卜算子》宋·杨冠清

苍生喘未苏，贾笔论孤愤。文采风流今尚存，毫发无遗恨。

凄恻近长沙，地僻秋将尽。长使英雄泪满襟，天意高难问。

●变体(三)上下阕首句变“仄仄平平仄”，四十四字

《卜算子》宋·石孝友

见也如何暮，别也如何遽。别也应难见也难，后会无凭据。

去也如何去，住也如何住。住也应难去也难，此际难分付。

●变体(四)下阕末句变“仄仄仄，平平仄”，四十五字

《卜算子》李之仪

我住长江头，君住长江尾。日日思君不见君，共饮长江水。

此水几时休，此恨何时已。只愿君心似我心，定不负、相思意。

●变体(五)上阕首句变“平平仄仄平”下阕首句变“仄仄平平仄”，末句变成“平仄仄，平平仄”，四十五字。

《卜算子》宋·徐俯

天生百种愁，挂在斜阳树。绿叶阴阴自得春，草满莺啼处。

不见凌波步，空忆如簧语。柳外重重叠叠山，遮不断、愁来路。

●变体(六)上阕首句变“平平仄仄平”下阕首句变“仄仄平平仄”，上下阕末句变成“仄平仄，平平仄”。四十六字

《卜算子》宋·杜安世

尊前歌一曲，歌里千重意。才欲歌时泪已流，恨应更、多于泪。

试问缘何事?不语如痴醉。我亦情多不忍闻，怕和我、成憔悴。

●变体(七)上下阕首句变“仄仄平平仄” 上阕末句“仄仄仄，平平仄”，下阕末句“平平仄仄平平仄”，四十七字

《眉峰碧》宋·无名氏

蹙破眉峰碧，纤手还重执。镇日相看未足时，忍便使鸳鸯隻!

薄暮投村驿，风雨愁通夕。窗外芭蕉窗里人，分明叶上心头滴。

●综述：上下阕首句可以换“(仄)仄平平仄”，并入韵;或者用“平平仄仄平”。上下阕末句可以换成“(仄)(仄)仄，平平仄”。在《眉峰碧》里，下阕末句变成了“平平仄仄平平仄”。除掉《眉峰碧》以外，44～46字体总共变化组合为36种。据《唐宋词学大辞典》，《卜算子》有变体30余种。 但是众多的体，只有一种使用最多，便成了正体。 正体和变体之间，既有相同之处，使它们共有一个词牌名，又有不同之处，区别成许多变体，还生成一些别名。

(二)同调异名

同样一个词牌，可以有不同的名称，《忆江南》又名《望江南》《江南好》《春去也》《望江楼》《梦江南》《望江梅》等。《菩萨蛮》 又名《子夜歌》《重叠金》《梅花句》等。《卜算子》又名《缺月挂疏桐》《百尺楼》《楚天遥》《眉峰碧》等。

贺铸是一个比较喜欢新创别名的词人，很多词牌的多数别名都是贺铸创造的，这给读者带来不少麻烦。在写词时，除特殊需要，最好用正名，不要用别名。

(三)同名异调

还有一种情况，两首词的词牌名一样，可是格式迥然不同!这属于同名异调。例如：《如梦令》和《阮郎归》都有一个别名叫《宴桃源》;《浪淘沙》和《谢池春》都有一个别名叫《卖花声》。这样的情况还有许多。

三、填词

(一)依声填词

细分为二种：

1、词人精通音律，会自己作曲，可以直接按曲谱填词!又称“按谱填词”柳永、周邦彦、姜夔、吴文英等人属此!

2、词人不会作曲，但是能听懂曲调，按曲调填词，又称“按箫填词”。苏轼、秦观、贺铸、辛弃疾等属此!

(二)依句填词

词人不懂音律，只能按前人作品的句式、每句的平仄格式填词。陆游、刘过等人属此，南宋多数词人都如此。这种填词法填出来的作品和依声填词的作品在平仄上是看不出来的，现在按词谱填词属此。

(三)自度曲和自过腔

通晓音律的词人，自摆歌词，又能自己谱写新的曲调，这叫做自度曲，有时也叫自度腔。

宋代有不少词人，都深通音乐，他们做了词，便自己能够作曲，故词集中 常见有“自度曲”。一般说来凡是自度曲，至少都应当注明这个曲子的宫调，或者在词序中说明。

自过腔和自度曲的含义是不同的。“过腔”，仅是音律上的改变，并不影响到歌词句格。所谓“过腔”者，是从此一腔调过入另一腔调，念奴娇的腔调稍变，即可另外题一个调名曰湘月。但这仅是歌曲腔调的改动，并不影响到歌词句格。后世词家，已不懂宋词音律，只能以词调的句格同异为类别，无法从句法相同的两首词中区别其腔调之不同。念奴娇和湘月，永遇乐和消息，句法既然一样，从文学形式的角度来看，湘月即念奴娇， 消息即永遇乐。至于二者之间，腔调不同，却不能从字句中看得出来。

自过腔既然不是创调，它就和自度曲不同。但有些宋代词人还是把自过腔编到自制曲中，因此，有些时候仍把自过腔作为自度曲的。

四、词的平仄规律。

词的平仄句法是有规律的，但是又比律诗复杂许多。

(一)“句”与“豆”

词的句法里有“句”和“豆(读)”。句，大家都不难理解。豆是什么呢?它是词的特点之一。

1、一字豆

介绍词谱时，有的句子是上一下四，这第一个字就是一字豆。这种五字句相当于一字豆加上一个四字句，和律诗中的律句是不一样的。例如：辛弃疾《沁园春》“正惊湍直下”应该读成“正——惊湍直下”而不能读成“正惊——湍直下”。一字豆常用仄声，仄声中又常用去声，很少用平声。

2、三字豆

还有的句子是上三下四、上三下五、上三下六等等。例如：《满江红》“凭栏处、潇潇雨歇。”就是上三下四，前三字就是三字豆!不能读成“凭栏——处潇——潇雨歇。”三字豆常用仄平平、仄仄平、仄仄仄、仄平仄、平仄仄、平平仄，少用平仄平，禁止用平平平，切记。

(二)律句和拗句;1～11字句的规律。

介绍诗律时我们谈论过律诗的句子有律句和拗句之分，同样，词的句子也有律句和拗句之分。而且有许多相似点，此外，词的拗句还可以细分为常见拗句、少见拗句和罕见拗句。常见拗句使用频率高，接近某些律句。少见拗句频率低，一般不用，特殊情况下可以使用。罕见拗句很罕见，往往见于少见词牌(特别是长调)，而且是该词调的特征性句子。

1、一字句 律句：平 仄

一字句很罕见，《十六字令》的第一句是一字句“平。”《钗头凤》上下阕末句可以看作叠用的三个一字句“仄、仄、仄。”。

2、二字句

律句：平平、平仄。 少见拗句：仄仄。 罕见拗句：仄平

“平平”、“平仄”常用，往往要入韵。而“仄仄”很少见，“仄平”更罕见。

(1)用“平平”的例如《南乡子》上下阕第四句：

《南乡子·登京口北固亭有怀》宋·辛弃疾

何处望神州?满眼风光北固楼。千古兴亡多少事?悠悠!不尽长江滚滚流。

年少万兜鍪，坐断东南战未休。天下英雄谁敌手?曹刘!生子当如孙仲谋。

(2)用“平仄”的例如《如梦令》第五、六句，而且常用叠句：

《如梦令》 宋·李清照

昨夜雨疏风骤，浓睡不消残酒。试问卷帘人，却道海棠依旧。知否?知否?应是绿肥红瘦!

(3)有些词调下阕首句是五字句或六字句，可以拆成2+3或2+4的句式。这时的二字句必须入韵。例如：

《满庭芳》下阕首句“平平平仄仄”可以变成“平平，平仄仄。”

《霜天晓角》下阕首句“(平)平平仄仄”可以变成“(平)仄、平仄仄。”“仄仄”也见于这句。

《沁园春》下阕首句可以变成“平平，(仄)仄平平。”

3、三字句

律句：平平仄、平仄仄、仄平平、仄仄平。

常见拗句：仄仄仄、仄平仄。

少见拗句：平仄平、平平平。

(1)律句如果单独使用，往往不用“仄仄平”。“平平仄”和“平仄仄”往往可以变通。

(2)拗句“仄平仄”往往可以替换“平(仄)仄”。“仄仄仄”往往可以用“仄平仄”、“平仄仄”等变通。

(3)“平仄平”、“平平平”较少见，《长相思》上下阕首句可以用。例如：

林逋《长相思》

吴山青，越山青。两岸青山相送迎。谁知离别情。

君泪盈，妾泪盈。罗带同心结未成，江头潮已平。

(4)两个三字句组合，常见的有：

平仄仄，仄平平。《捣练子》、《渔父》、《鹧鸪天》等。在小令里，这种格式非常严格，不能变通。在长调里，前句前2字往往可平可仄。切记：后句第二字不能用仄。

仄平平，平仄仄。《苏幕遮》、《祝英台近》等。

(仄)(仄)仄，(仄)平仄。《相见欢》、《满江红》等。

仄平平，仄平平。《江城子》。

仄仄平，仄仄平。《长相思》。

(5)三个、四个三字句组合。常见的有：

平仄仄，仄平平。仄平平。《诉衷情》

(仄)(平)仄，(平)(仄)仄，仄平平。《水调歌头》、《六州歌头》

一字豆领四个三字句，如《六州歌头》下阕首句：仄——平(平)仄，(平)(平)仄，(平)(平)仄，仄平平。

But what are the reasons for our government to encourage college students to start their own undertakings? I think there are several reasons can account for it. First, it is a good way to relieve our social heavy employment pressure. If some students can start their own undertakings, they will not go to compete with others as well as provide some job opportunities for others. Second, encouraging college students to start their own undertakings is good for our national development in many aspects, such as commerce, industry. In addition, encouraging students to start their own undertakings has a contribution to encourage students to apply their knowledge to practice and then make their contribution to our motherland.
