Famous sayings, poems and proverbs often have strong philosophical implications and enlightening effects. Choosing the beginning of famous sayings, poems, songs and proverbs closely related to the theme in the composition of college entrance examination can create a philosophical atmosphere for the emergence of the theme of the article and make the article central, intriguing and thought-provoking. For example, in 2005, the excellent composition "The Bright Moon Shines on Our Faces" in Jiangxi College Entrance Examination began like this:
In the wind of the Tang dynasty, how many childe's white clothes fluttered; How many women's black temples were wet by rain in the Song Dynasty? That's Zhang Jiuling's "Moon, which is full now, has crossed the sea, and now the horizon is * * *", Su Dongpo's "Wish people a long time, and thousands of miles * * * are beautiful" or Li Qingzhao's "Search and find, be deserted". They are infatuated with those vicissitudes of life, looking forward to the blessing of the face, eager to face.
This article is cleverly conceived. At the beginning, three ancient poems are quoted, describing the vicissitudes of the poet, his yearning for life and the essence of the national culture represented by the poet's face. The author skillfully combined the poems of the three people into his own language, which added philosophical meaning, and at the same time skillfully led to the following and pointed out the theme.
Second, set the suspense method
Setting suspense at the beginning of the article can often catch the reader's attention, stimulate the reader's desire to read and make people think deeply. Clever questions and suspense in college entrance examination composition can attract the attention of marking teachers and win high marks. For example, in 2005, Sichuan college entrance examination excellent composition "A gust of wind blowing" began like this:
The past is like running water, and the arrivals are like mountains. There are thousands of things in the world and life is only a few decades. Over time, even if we remember the exhortations of relatives, the blessings of friends and the sweet words of lovers, some sad memories will inevitably accumulate in our chests. Faced with thousands of things, what should we forget and remember? Answer: forget the pain of failure and remember happiness.
Here, the author first creates suspense by asking questions, and then skillfully answers and points out the main idea. It not only attracted the attention of the marking teacher, but also subtly attracted the following, which can be described as logical.

For example, in 2005, Jiangxi College Entrance Examination excellent composition FACE/OFF began:
Lao Zhang has done well in recent years. No, I just got promoted to section chief a few days ago, which made him very happy. All day, he was a smiling face, and those two small eyes became a "landscape" embedded in that big face when they smiled.
In the vast sea of people, the author chose the smiling face "Lao Zhang", which is common in life, to describe it, making the beginning of the article vivid, and this image of Lao Zhang was vividly printed in readers' minds, which enhanced their reading interest.
Fourth, cut to the chase.
Some candidates always like to beat around the bush at the beginning, be mysterious, beat around the bush, say something irrelevant, and enter the question too slowly; It not only wastes a lot of pen and ink, but also affects the expression effect. In fact, there are many excellent compositions that point directly to the theme at the beginning, such as narratives, which generally go directly into the narrative of events to express the main idea; For a general argumentative essay or essay, you should make your point clear at the beginning. Even if you use a short story or a set of parallel sentences in the first paragraph, you must clarify your expression center in the second paragraph. If the marking teacher has read the first two paragraphs (about one or two hundred words) and can't capture your point of view, he will be a little impatient, so it is necessary to point out the topic here! For example, in 2005, the opening of the excellent composition "Commemoration" of Guangdong college entrance examination wrote:
The bits and pieces of history are like sand shells scattered on the vast beach. We passed by quietly, greedily looked at these glittering and precious treasures, and sometimes picked up one or two shells that touched our hearts and collected them with love and gratitude as a souvenir.

Yes, "in life, everyone's position may be different, but each has its own value." I quite agree with the proposer. Generally speaking, there may be a certain relationship between position and value, but it is only "possible". This relationship cannot determine value, because value is definitely not determined by position, and position cannot affect the embodiment of value.
The viewpoint of this paper comes from Hint, but it is different. The author deliberately avoids positioning different commodities, and chooses "value has nothing to do with positioning" to write, with novel and concise explanations to make his point more clear.
Sixth, the scene rendering method
Intercept a picture or a fragment at the beginning to quickly attract the reader's attention and mobilize the reader's reading mood. For example, the excellent composition "Seeds of Two Dandelions" in Jilin College Entrance Examination describes such a picture at the beginning:
Dandelion Bloom has two seeds that ripen quickly. Mother Dandelion said, "Son, you have grown up, and it's time to breed and have children." My mother doesn't have much to give, just give everyone a small umbrella to let you go to the ends of the earth! " Mom's words just fell, and a breeze blew. The two brothers left their mother's body before even saying goodbye, flying gently and wandering. ...
Vivid scene rendering strongly stimulates readers' desire to read, and readers are eager to know what happened after the two brothers said goodbye.
Seven, the rise and expansion method
Describe other things or scenery in concise language first, and then explain the topic with the theme. This makes people feel kind and comfortable from far to near. For example, Liaoning college entrance examination excellent composition "I can" begins:
Flowers say "I can" to themselves, and the world will have colorful colors; Wicker said "I can" to myself, and there was a feeling of green and sultry in the world; If the cloud says "I can" to itself, there will be an ethereal and dreamy end of the world.
I said "I can" to myself, and there was one more success in the world.
First of all, flowers, wickers and clouds in nature are used to support things, and the theme of "I can" is introduced, which is ingenious and natural.
Eight, parallelism and strength method
Using neat parallelism at the beginning is not only literary, but also magnificent. For example, at the beginning of Jiangxi college entrance examination excellent composition "Chinese, it is not easy to say I love you":
Chinese is the key, which opens the mysterious door for us to know the world and explore the future. Chinese is wealth, paving the way for us to create innovation on the road ahead; Chinese is a treasure house and an inexhaustible source of knowledge. Chinese is a classic, which transcends time and space, transcends national boundaries, presents itself in front of you, and makes you fondle it; Chinese is an excellent composition with lively rhythm, colorful expressions and human feelings, which makes people linger. Chinese floats in the space where we live. However, it is not easy to say I love you.
A set of parallel prose composed of metaphors, such as the water of the Yellow River, like a bamboo, repeatedly renders the language in the heart, which has made a powerful foreshadowing for drawing out one's own views.
In short, the beginning of the article has many kinds, varied and colorful. As long as you master some opening methods, read more wonderful opening, read more and write more, excellent articles will be born under your hands.
