My child is in the fourth grade this year, and his eloquence is very good, but his composition is always bad. Why?

For most students, composition is undoubtedly a rather painful process. In their own words, "it took a long time to compile an article." A word "suppress" shows how embarrassing it is; How much helplessness does a word "make up" tell!

People should be able to write, because writing is not too difficult, just a manifestation of feelings and thoughts. You see, the ancestors who lived in the era of the Book of Songs were uneducated, let alone learned to write, but they could write poems. There are also famous writers Shen Congwen and Bashu genius Wei Minglun. They haven't read any books, and they can't even get a primary school diploma. Naturally, no one taught them to write, but their works are really touching and brilliant. But why can't our students write? It has been six or seven years since I began to learn to write in the third grade and in the fourth grade. It's been such a long time, and a long War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is almost over. I haven't learned to write such a small thing, so that some students seem to be in trouble when they hear that they want to write a composition. Is there something wrong with our education? Reflecting on our composition teaching, I suddenly shuddered ―― our students were not born unable to write, but learned not to write in reading and learning!

Think about our students, the teaching you got from us.

The first is that the mind is imprisoned. People's minds are naturally active, especially in childhood and adolescence. Their thoughts are like birds in the sky, and they can fly freely. Or like a galloping horse on the grassland, you can gallop at will. When you are among children, those little pink lips often surprise you. In their eyes, the stars can cook, tadpoles can think, the sun has a mouth and the wind has colors ... but for a long time, our education, especially the painstaking efforts of the writing teacher, has tightly imprisoned their thoughts. Before writing an article, the teacher repeatedly told me to show a positive theme, embody noble and pure sentiments, show a beautiful heart, expose ugly thoughts, talk about unity and friendship, selflessness, civility and courtesy, and sacrifice oneself to save others, before writing. With the shackles of these rules and regulations, who can think freely and who can relax? I think, therefore I am. Descartes said; "All our dignity lies in our thoughts." Pascal said so; Even Mr. Lu Xun often "suddenly thought" and then wrote down what he thought. However, we "obedient" children have learned to follow blindly and listen to other people's suggestions, so we gradually lose the ability to think independently, express our thoughts independently and write.

Secondly, true feelings are suppressed. The composition that has just started is just an expression of true feelings and a carrier to express one's true feelings and attitudes. And people's childhood and adolescence are the most emotional and fastest-growing periods: expectation of understanding, disappointment of misunderstanding, pride after pranks, resentment after being teased, joy of being accepted, distress of being rejected, collision of hearts, entanglement of contradictions ... They have emotional ups and downs and spray every minute. If they are allowed to express their feelings freely, they are likely to write excellent works. Unfortunately, our teachers often evaluate students' compositions from the perspective of adults with fresh breath of life. They always use such an idea and such an experience to "guide" students, but they just ignore the most important point-understanding, not to mention that some students' naive and even extreme compositions will make teachers feel like enemies and always give them a profound and cold admonition. So the students' distress can't be released, and no one can share their happiness. And those fabricated or plagiarized compositions are often well received by teachers. As a result, the true feelings are gone, but the compositions that write fake things and express fake feelings are endless.

Third, Sven was strangled. In fact, writing should be like walking, unrestrained: with square steps, with broken steps, jumping forward and jumping back; When walking, you can pick a flower, a stone, listen to birds and see butterflies; When you walk, you can let go of your thoughts and walk far and wide. But if someone really comes to teach you how to walk, telling you how to walk with your left foot, how to walk with your right foot, how to put your left hand and how to put your right hand, you will definitely not walk after learning. The same is true of writing. The teacher always "patiently" tells you how to start, how to end, how to transition in the middle, how to ambush the pen, how to set suspense, how to echo from beginning to end, and what's more, he sums up a series of secrets and methods. Well, when you started writing, all you could think about was how to do this and how to do that. Are you still in the mood to write? Of course, we don't mean that we don't need the necessary guidance of writing skills, but the most important thing is that ideas, especially themes, skills and forms always rank second, right? Otherwise, aren't we back to stereotyped writing? Zheng, the king of fairy tales, once said that he had half a class a few days ago to teach children to write. "When I heard it, I was shocked. What the teacher said is almost always what people can't write a good article in this life. " He said: "When I teach my son, I don't teach writing, but train six parts: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands and feet. People who can write good articles have keen observation and unique perspectives. I'll tell you how to train your eyes into eagle eyes. Then the nose, and so on. After six parts of training, children can write compositions. "

Reflection on composition teaching in China. Needless to say, composition teaching over the years is deformed in concept and patterned in practice. Causes the students' writing thinking to be rigid and superficial; People follow the trend and their personality disappears; The language is dry and monotonous. They are all like standard parts produced on the assembly line, lifeless and without personality. This is a dead end in composition teaching. Mr. Yu once said: composition training is the training of expression and communication between life and life in the final analysis. Means, rules and model essays cannot replace the self-life students want to express, nor can they become spiritual shackles, "depriving them of their unique ability to express their individual lives to some extent." These words hit the nail on the head and pointed out the fundamental reason of composition teaching-the bondage to healthy life and the indifference to individual life.

Faced with this situation, what should Chinese teachers do?

In view of the above three points, I believe that it is not difficult for Chinese teachers to solve the problem as long as they prescribe the right medicine, such as teaching composition sharply: let students' hearts fly and let their thoughts gallop on the Yuan Ye like galloping horses; Caring for the truth, let feelings float on the sea like a free boat; Activate Sven and let this trend of thought spray underground like a spring. Don't imprison students ideologically, no matter right or wrong, kneel down and listen to the voice of growth with them; Give students emotional comfort, shed tears with students, be happy together, and make progress together in understanding; But there are more restrictions on students. The so-called conception, conception, planning and layout are all natural things, so we should leave no trace.

This is for students who have something to write, feelings to express and feelings to send. Facing fresh and agile individuals, we renew our concepts and change our teaching concepts for teachers. I believe we can change the status quo through our efforts. But there is a situation that we often encounter in teaching-that is, students have nothing to write, nothing to express, nothing in their chests, nothing to write. Faced with this situation, no matter how you let go, how you care and how you activate, students are "not as good as walking around". I just don't have any ideas. What should I do? You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I'm not interested in anything and I don't feel anything. No matter how wonderful the teacher's methods and skills are, they don't work. Therefore, the key to writing is to have rice, noodles, chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and fruits to make delicious food.

Where do rice and noodles come from? Not only do I think of an old saying, "If you want to learn poetry, your kung fu is beyond poetry", which means that you really have to learn to write poetry, and your kung fu is beyond poetry, that is, you have to live, experience and feel with your heart. If you have a deep understanding of life, you will have good ideas and creativity. Are you afraid of not having good poems? Aren't our compositions the same? -"To learn literature, your kung fu is outside literature." The new curriculum standard clearly points out in the teaching suggestion of "expression and communication": "In writing teaching, teachers should encourage students to actively participate in life, experience life, pay attention to social hotspots and stimulate their desire for writing. Guide students to express their true feelings, don't tell lies, empty words and cliches, and avoid creating feelings for words. " That's right, pointing out the fundamental way of writing teaching: people-oriented, learning from others. That is, the essence of composition teaching is "people" rather than "literature", which is people's thoughts and feelings, healthy personality and aesthetic level. This is the basis of composition spirit. With the improvement of students' ideological level, the cultivation of moral sentiment and their keen perception of life, life and nature, students are guided to write exercises. This fundamentally solves the dilemma that students have nothing to say. We should not only learn writing methods, but also teach writing skills. As a microscopic composition course, it is essential to teach specific and practical writing knowledge. But the teaching of these methods, knowledge and skills should be carried out under the macro guidance of "people-oriented", otherwise it will be in vain. Because the essential meaning of learning Tao is to be a man before writing, and to write well, we must first be a good man. Keep your word, as you say. Only when the writer has noble moral cultivation and elegant aesthetic taste can the article shine with the brilliance of truth, goodness and beauty. Mr. Lu Xun believes that writing is a kind of "automatic control of personality" and a manifestation of thought and personality. The key to good writing lies in "progressive thinking and noble personality". Mr. Ye Shengtao also said in the article "Writing and Being a Man": "Writing is of course what you have to do, but it is important to be a man." Reviewing the master's teaching enables us to interpret the curriculum standards from the perspective of history and tradition and better understand its profound cultural heritage.

So, how to do this well in practice?

In my opinion, the most important thing to do is to guide students to feel life, experience life and touch life.

Nowadays, students are too happy and everything is too easy to get, so it doesn't matter, and they are numb to such a beautiful life. They can't see or hear so many touching or irritating things in life, and the composition they write is poor in thought, empty in content and pretentious in emotion. Either it's a cliche, empty talk, and miscellaneous, or it's made up and meaningless. It's exhausting to approve such a composition. They seem to have lost their sense of life, their feelings and their most instinctive feeling as a person. "Life is not lack of beauty, but lack of discovery." As a teacher, we should first create more opportunities for students to participate in life and experience life. Guide students to learn to love life, love seemingly ordinary life and be enthusiastic about life, instead of being a bystander. You can start from your own class and organize some activities appropriately, such as "love yourself, love my classmates and love my class" class meeting, "talk about your parents" and "interview the disabled around you" to guide students into life and be a real trendsetter in life. At one time, there were migrant workers working behind the house in our class. I asked the students to observe the appearance and behavior of migrant workers and write a composition. As a result, the students' writing is really touching. Among them, the article "Farmers, Good" won the prize. When it rains, we step on the rain together, and when it snows, we have a snowball fight together. We watched the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival and cheered together when Shenzhou VII was launched ... It can be said that the composition is excellent and the writing has bright spots. Secondly, guide students to discover the truth, goodness and beauty in life with the tentacles of the soul. Teachers' guidance must be detailed and concrete, and they should always grasp vivid examples in life to guide them, recommend good works in students' diaries in time, and guide students to gradually improve their ability to distinguish truth, goodness and beauty and their aesthetic ability in vivid life. Third, we should guide students to learn to be moved. Philosophers say: a touched nutrient-the nutrient of the soul. With this kind of nutrition, the mind will become moist, rich, keen and agile. It is this kind of nutrition that our students are seriously lacking. The way to make up this nutrient is to make our teaching close to students and enter their hearts. I often recommend some excellent articles to students to read, appreciate and move with them. I remember once watching an exercise called "big rice, small rice". Because of the voice of * * *, I couldn't help choking when I was excited to the climax. After I finished reading, the classroom was surprisingly quiet, and those tears told me that they were also moved. After a long time, I gradually found that students' reading level is also rising, especially the accurate grasp of the theme and the more in-depth and delicate analysis of feelings. No longer like the previous "making things up" (this is the original words in students' compositions), or just rhetoric and empty talk, the composition is also improving. In short, composition teaching should make students sentimental. Then, "Climbing a mountain is full of feelings, but watching the sea is full of meaning", writing is writing, and the feelings are indifferent, and excellent works are self-contained. In short, being a man comes before writing, and understanding life comes before learning skills. Only by adhering to science and ideas can our composition teaching get out of a dead end.

Second, please read a good book to lay the foundation. Students have the experience of life, but also have a mature concept of composition. Where did this idea come from? Mainly by reading books for reference. American literature is used to cultivate readers' sentiment, but good scholars regard it as a teaching material for writing, because American literature always has certain rationality and conforms to the law of beauty. It is very important for middle school students to learn to see the "shining point" and realize it with a pair of discerning eyes. As long as they can see the reasonable factors, our students will know them, and then extract these reasonable things, digest and absorb them, blend them into my blood and become my things. There are many rational things in students' compositions. Will their composition be mediocre? I have browsed a large number of composition questions of college entrance examination at home and abroad in recent years, many of which are about famous people. This is to inspire middle school students to read good books, especially to read and appreciate famous books. It requires students to have certain literary skills, aesthetic ability, cultural background and humanistic feelings. Indeed, reading a famous book will benefit you a lot. It is impossible to blindly indulge in cultural fast food literature. At the beginning of the last century, Gu Hongming, a scholar known as a geek and a genius of Peking University, strongly advocated how to learn English. He chose a book, such as Shakespeare's masterpiece, became familiar with it, laid a good foundation, and then dabbled in it extensively, learning English by analogy. This proposition has his unique personal learning experience and is a summary of his foreign language learning experience. His idea of studying hard is also suitable for us to learn our mother tongue. I have met such a person who teaches in a normal school. It takes a lot of brains for others to publish a professional paper, but his masterpiece can be published in a professional newspaper. One publication also invited him to do a special topic, and his writing ability made many colleagues envy him. According to himself, he mainly benefited from The Romance of Three Kingdoms, and his language ability, especially his writing ability, was acquired by reading this legendary story with great interest.

By being familiar with a famous book, we gain not only Chinese knowledge and literary knowledge, but also Chinese literacy. We gain more spiritual nutrition in reading, which leads us to think about the value and ideal of life and deepens our thinking and understanding of the relationship between individuals and the country, between individuals and society, and between individuals and nature, thus enhancing our sense of mission and social responsibility, forming good ideological and moral quality and scientific and cultural quality, and laying the foundation for our lifelong learning and personalized development. Therefore, we have the responsibility to guide middle school students to leave TV and computer properly, calm down, read a classic and lay a solid foundation in literature and humanities, which is really a good thing for them to win in the examination room and grow up healthily in the future.

How does the second article clarify the central idea of the article in 500 words?

The central idea of the article, that is, the theme, is also called the center or theme. The process of establishing the central idea when writing an article is called "conception"

The central idea of the article refers to the main views on life expressed by remembering people, narrating, describing scenery, writing things, or agreeing, opposing, praising or criticizing.

In narrative, it is very important to establish the central idea. Yao Nai, a writer in Qing Dynasty, said: "Those who are beautiful in poetry and prose must have good thoughts." The central idea is the soul of the article. Only when the central idea is established can the article be written with spirit.

The central idea of the article must be clear and concentrated. Different, which means that the evaluation of the article must be clear and not vague; Concentration means organizing all the materials organically and concentrating on a central idea.

The central idea of a good narrative should not only be clear and concentrated, but also be novel and profound. Articles, especially the composition in the examination room, are the most taboo. Such a composition can easily make the marking teacher feel bored or even bored, and will not get too high a score. On the other hand, if a novel and profound article emerges in the "sameness", it will get excellent results even if it is not first-class in other aspects.

The third chapter is about a junior high school student with 900 words.

After reading Yi Lee's article "Students and Learning", I admired his super thinking ability, which triggered my small thinking. I have some ideas I want to share with you.

First of all, let's talk about the stage we are in now-junior high school. What is the role of junior high school students? It's time to grow up, learn the knowledge in the textbook and cultivate your own ability. At our age, what we should do is to learn knowledge and get good grades.

According to Yi Lee, can it be understood that it doesn't matter whether we study well now, but we can still succeed? In the article, Yi Lee gave an example. He has a classmate, Zhong Zhengqi, who failed in five subjects and four subjects. He made 20,000 RMB by speculating in stocks in the sixth grade of primary school. I am deeply speechless about this! Because stock trading is an uncertain event, you earn 20 thousand today and lose 20 thousand tomorrow. This kind of thing often happens. If you give an example of a person who earns 20 thousand by his ability and can continue to earn it, it will be convincing. Moreover, I want to say that even if there is such a successful example, it is a small probability event. The probability of success of this kind of research may be only one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand. The probability of success can be 999/ 1000. To put it simply, a person who graduated from Tsinghua Peking University may be recruited by a company without applying. But an unknown college graduate may have to work hard several times to find a job. Isn't this the fact that learning knowledge is very important?

Aside from other things, let's talk about ability. What is ability? Ability is the ability to use all kinds of knowledge flexibly. Take stock trading as an example. If a person does not rely on luck or gossip, but on all kinds of knowledge he has, and can make good use of this knowledge, then this is called ability. The foundation of ability is knowledge. What do we study textbooks for? Just to learn knowledge. If you don't even have the most basic knowledge, how can you have the ability? I remember a sentence in Yi Lee's article, that is, 100, how many points, and how many first place to get so much money? If I can get a lot of 100 points in the exam now, it will prove that I have learned these basic knowledge well and have this knowledge. Although the benefits of knowledge may not be reflected for a while, you will definitely find a good job and earn a lot of money when you grow up. Knowledge can create wealth.

In short, at what age, we are students now. What we should do is to exercise and learn knowledge, not just to memorize it, but to use knowledge and turn it into ability. And Confucius also said: learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous. As a junior high school student, it is best to combine learning with thinking, live in the present and be yourself.

No one can reach the sky in one step. What everyone should do when they are students is to study hard.
