Exam writing skills (beginning skills and ending skills)

A collection of opening skills for high school entrance examination essays

"A good beginning is half the battle." The beginning plays a very important role in the article. It can refine the center, complete the structure, and attract the reader. It can make the article even better and make the readers feel refreshed when they are tired. This statement is not an exaggeration. Therefore, it is very necessary to spend more time and use your brain more when writing, and write a good beginning. Please take a look at the wonderful beginning of the full-scoring essay from the high school entrance examination:

1. Put pen to paper and enter the title, taking charge of the whole article

Example 1. When I was a child, I was obsessed with the "children with waving wings - angels" printed on comic strips and greeting cards. Those pure, velvet-like white wings are a symbol of all good things, and they decorated my childhood dreams. (The beginning of the Chongqing full-mark article "White wings decorate my dreams...")

At the beginning of this article, he confessed that he likes white wings, and used "It decorates my childhood dreams" to echo the article. The question leads to the following. This kind of beginning can give people the feeling of being clean and neat, quickly getting into the topic, and not branching out. It should be the preferred way to start an essay in the exam room.

2. The inscription in the preface is eye-catching

Example 2. Leaves are wings that cannot fly; wings are leaves that fall in the sky. (Inscription of Chongqing Full Point Essay "Wings, Leaves Falling in the Sky")

This inscription uses a metaphorical method to reveal the relationship between "wings" and "leaves". How can "wings" and "leaves" be marked with an equal sign? This question, like a mystery, suddenly arouses the curiosity of the reader. Only when you read the whole text do you know that this is a fairy tale version of "The ugly duckling turns into a little swan". The author replaces the "ugly duckling" with a fallen leaf and writes His regretless choices, his persistent dreams, and his beautiful soul are novel and unique, and refreshing.

3. Describe the scenery and highlight the mood

Example 3. It's hot summer again, and cicadas are starting to cry. (The beginning of the Beijing full-mark essay "The power comes from those eyes")

This article does not fall into the mold of others and takes a unique approach. It starts from a small point, starting from a pair of concretely visible and sensible "eyes" to write about it. The expression of emotion in the eyes of a mathematics teacher brings sunshine-like warmth and rapid progress to every student in the class. The description of the natural environment at the beginning here not only renders a specific atmosphere, sets off the mood of the characters, but also promotes the development of the storyline.

4. Use contrast skillfully to illustrate the problem

Example 4. Just after 8 o'clock in the morning, an angry mother pulled a tall boy and pushed open the door of Professor Zhang's office. As soon as he entered the door, the mother began to tell Professor Zhang about her child's faults. But the boy seemed indifferent, always looking up at the ceiling, and his body was still shaking. From time to time, I would reply to the previous sentence to express my objection. (Full-mark essay "It's not like that" in Laiwu, Shandong)

The beginning of the article exaggerated the "bad" qualities of the child in the eyes of the mother, but when it came to the professor, the professor easily pointed out the "advantages" of the child. This kind of comparison can only illustrate one point. In fact, it is not that the child is bad, but that there is a problem with the "mother's" vision and the way she educates her children.

5． Reverse the idea and be original.

Example 5. I am a devil, a devil with an angel living in my heart. (The full score article "Let the Angel Stay in the Heart Forever" from Binzhou, Shandong Province begins)

The title of the article is "Let the Angel Stay in the Heart Forever", but it starts with the sentence "I am the devil", which makes people feel strange. Further down, the first sentence of the first paragraph is "I am the devil". Until the end, if you read carefully, you will realize that the beauty of this reverse idea is to highlight "Angel".

6. Novel angle, blend of emotion and reason

Example 6. "A needle from the king bee divides the orange into two sides. The most hateful thing in the world is the heart of a whore." Since the publication of "Water Margin", people have used this to evaluate the character in it - Pan Jinlian. This character has become a typical example of the ruthless and vicious "whore" and "slut" in people's minds.

Pan Jinlian, you are really unjust! (The beginning of the full-mark essay "It's Not Like This" in Laiwu, Shandong Province)

The young author wrote the familiar "Water Margin" story into the composition, but it feels repetitive when reading it. The beginning of "Water Margin" is quoted here, and the object of discussion-Pan Jinlian is cleverly introduced. It not only shows his cultural heritage, but also contrasts it with his own views, which is reasonable and reasonable.

7． The sentence structure is neat and implicit

Example 7. I once missed the happiness of a hero who said, "The king of Qin swept the world, how majestic the tiger is." I once pursued the happiness of a hermit who "picked chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely saw the Nanshan Mountains." But I am me after all, and I want to pick the most beautiful happiness to embellish my youth without regrets! So, I boarded the happiness train and started my journey to find happiness. (The beginning of the full-mark article "Get on the Train of Happiness" in Jining, Shandong)

The quotation from poetry at the beginning of the article makes the language of the article elegant, smooth and full of poetry, and the meaning is rich and thought-provoking.

8. The metaphor links the title and highlights the main idea

Example 8. Everyone has no wings when they come to this world. Only reading can make life fly.

(The full score essay in Chongqing begins with "Reading - Wings of Life's Flying")

The idea of ????this chapter is quite broad. Most people rarely associate reading with the topic of "wings". The candidates began with a metaphorical sentence " Everyone has no wings when they come to this world. Only reading can make life fly." The following text begins, which well highlights the main theme of the article: "Reading - the wings for life to fly."

9． Get started and go straight to the topic

Example 9. If an eagle has wings, it can fly high; if an airplane has wings, it can soar into the sky. I also fantasize about having a pair of wings that allow me to spread my wings and fly in the wind and rain. No one can stop me from dreaming of flying across the world. (The beginning of Chongqing's full-mark essay "If You Give Me a Pair of Wings")

The beginning of this chapter is about the rising of eagles and airplanes, expressing "my" persistence in dreaming, and describing the various reasons for having wings below. Set up suspense.

10． Start with parallelism and inject poetic rhyme

Example 11. The clouds are rolling and relaxing, and what is relaxing is the purity of the soul; the geese passing by are the beautiful images of human nature; the flowers are blooming and falling, and what is blooming and falling is the fragrance of the soul. (Full score essay "Give me a chance to understand you" from Rizhao, Shandong)

The author's writing style is beautiful. At the beginning, he selected several scenes in nature to describe, with allusive vocabulary, neat sentence structure, and catchy sentences. Full of charm.

11． A string of beads, the beads are rich

Example 11. What is happiness? (Full score essay "Happy Words" from Jining, Shandong)

The article begins with "What is happiness?", a single sentence and a paragraph, which is thought-provoking and leads to the following. The following uses "Sima Qian said", "Tao Qian said", "Li Taibai said", "Liu Yuxi said", "Chen Jingrun said", "Lincoln said", "Gandhi said" and "I said" to highly summarize the views on happiness of eight people, which plays the role of "Ten Thousand Arrows". "Save shot" effect. The author's rich accumulation is evident.

12． The forum format is extremely novel

Example 12. Topic post What is happiness? Happiness is smiling eyes shining with tears; it is the cordial greetings in the ears; it is children playing on the beach; it is the dying old people joining hands with the setting sun; it is the whole family gathering around a table to enjoy family life on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival... A thousand people will have a thousand interpretations of "happiness", just like there are a thousand "Hamlets" in the eyes of a thousand readers. (If you don’t believe it, please go to the "Happiness" forum.) (The beginning of Tianjin's full-mark article ""Happiness Water" in the Forum")

This beginning starts from the "topic post" of the forum, using a question sentence To attract readers' attention, use parallel sentences to make logical arguments, and summarize your views on happiness with "A thousand people will have a thousand interpretations of 'happiness,' just like there are a thousand 'Hamlets' in the eyes of a thousand readers."

Fresh format, clever beginning, really a brilliant move!
