Narratives refer to articles that record people, narratives, scenes, and objects. They belong to a basic style of prose. Due to its wide application and flexible and diverse writing forms, it is favored by candidates in college entrance examination writing. There are various narrative methods in narratives, including narration, flashback, interjection, flat narration and supplementary narration. In the college entrance examination, an article is detailed and brief, with changes and twists and turns. How to improve your narrative ability in the last few months of the college entrance examination? What should candidates pay attention to when writing narrative essays in the college entrance examination? What weaknesses do students still have when it comes to narrative writing? In this lecture, teacher Yao Jiaxiang from Beijing Haidian District Teacher Training School, who has 15 years of experience in guiding college entrance examinations, based on his practical experience of participating in college entrance examination marking work many times, gives some advice on the problems and confusions that current students have in narrative writing. Detailed guidance.
He believes: Nowadays, writing emphasizes creative thinking and innovation. So what is needed for innovation? From the perspective of thinking, it requires association and imagination. It means that you store your daily life according to the needs of your writing purpose. Select, process, and combine the images in your brain to create a new image. There is also Lenovo. Associations include: similar associations; opposite associations, etc. Teacher Yao Jiaxiang introduced the methods and techniques of narrative writing in detail based on model essays.
He said: "The writing of narratives needs to be improved. What should you do if you want to improve? If you want to improve, you have to solve the problem itself. Then you will improve. I have an idea. I I feel that there may be five aspects that affect everyone's improvement in writing. I think that for most students, if you consider this in the three months before the exam, it will work." The five aspects are summarized as follows: transforming the imaginary into reality, transforming the obvious into the hidden, transforming the ordinary into the strange, transforming the emotion into matter, and transforming reason into form. At the same time, when writing narratives, you must also pay attention to the sense of the times and be aware of the times. A blend of narratives is easy to impress the marking teacher.
Life is the source of creation. When middle school students write essays, they cannot be divorced from life. The life of middle school students is rich and colorful, but a considerable number of students are afraid when it comes to writing essays and always feel that they have nothing to say. Why is this? The bottom line is that you don't pay attention to observation. Even if I think hard when writing, I can't write a good article. I can only make up random things. Fictional compositions are unreal and naturally have no moving power. It can be seen that observing life is the prerequisite for writing. Only by observing life comprehensively, meticulously and seriously can we directly obtain fresh writing materials from life and provide rich nutrition for writing. Guiding students to learn to observe life can not only cultivate students' enthusiasm for life and write good compositions, but also be of great benefit to students in their future research on social sciences and natural sciences, as well as other jobs.
How to observe life is a difficult problem for first-year junior high school students. Writer Ai Wu said when instructing comrades who are beginning to write: "We must practice our eyes and be good at observing people's movements, attitudes and expressions. Practice our ears and be good at listening to other people's sentences, tones and special words." This is That is to say, when observing life, one needs to see and the other is to listen.
First-grade students are innocent, lively, curious, passionate and willing to participate in activities. Especially when they first enter middle school, they want to know the history and facilities of the middle school, especially their teachers and classmates. Seizing this psychological characteristic of them, soon after the school started, I asked them to choose a teacher as the object of observation. The contents of observation are: age, gender, height, body shape, face shape, skin color, hairstyle, clothing (color, style, texture), expressions, especially eyes, as well as the teacher’s language and actions in class, etc. The period of observation is four weeks. The requirements for observation are
First, grasp the characteristics of the characters. The characters have different appearances, personalities, and emotions. Only by grasping the uniqueness of the object of observation can we write about the character's personality and avoid the shortcomings of "a thousand people look alike".
Second, observation must be careful. The so-called meticulousness does not mean that you should observe characters without prioritizing them, but that you should discover the subtleties that make the object of observation different from others. People with different personalities behave differently when speaking and doing things. An action or a smile of a character often has personality characteristics. Therefore, observation must be meticulous. The more detailed and in-depth the observation, the clearer the impression, the deeper the understanding, and the more specific and vivid the description.
Third, comparative observation. Only through comparison can there be identification. The purpose of comparison is to seek differences. When observing, we should grasp the different characteristics of the teacher in various situations, that is, the differences in speech, behavior and mental state when he is angry, happy, serious... Only in this way can the characters appear vividly on the paper. Four weeks later, each student wrote observation notes as required. Before writing, I emphasize again that the description must highlight the characteristics of the characters and does not need to be exhaustive. Under my guidance, most of the students' compositions gave vivid and realistic descriptions of their teachers. For example, when describing the appearance of Mathematics Teacher Guo, the features of the teacher’s eyebrows and eyes are highlighted. She described it this way: "His eyebrows are very dark and look like two acute-angled triangles. They are quite individual. His eyes are not big, but they are very bright.
"When she wrote about Teacher Guo's class, she highlighted the characteristics of "teaching well". The article wrote: "Whenever we have a math class, the class is always very active, and there is hearty laughter from time to time. The most interesting thing is asking questions. When Teacher Guo asks his classmates to answer questions, the corners of his mouth always turn up slightly, showing a smile. Some students got the answer wrong. When they saw the teacher's expression, they thought they had answered quite well and were very proud of themselves. Then they started talking in a daze, making everyone laugh. When some students got the answer correct, Teacher Guo would ask: ‘Is that right? ’ This classmate also hesitated. In this case, Teacher Guo will let the students discuss with each other, and finally he will tell us the correct answer. In this way, it not only allows us to think seriously and activate our thinking, but also gives us a deep understanding of the concepts we have learned. "The key to the success of this essay is the meticulousness of the observation.
In order to further mobilize students' enthusiasm for writing and consolidate the gains from observation, I asked students to carefully summarize the process and experience of the observation. Summary Said: "I am a math class representative and have a lot of contact with Teacher Guo. I miss every opportunity to meet and observe his appearance carefully. I found that his eyebrows are very distinctive. The main thing I felt about him was that he was very interesting when asking questions. So during class, I carefully observed his demeanor, tone of voice, intonation and some characteristics of his movements when he asked questions. If I don't observe carefully, I won't be able to gain specific feelings and understanding, and I won't be able to truly express the character's appearance and personality traits. "Through this composition, the students have tasted the sweetness of observation, and they no longer have to worry about running out of things to write about.
