There is a student in my class who likes reading very much According to the class teacher, when visiting the children's home, the whole wall of the living room was covered with bookcases.
Extensive reading has brought great benefits to children: whenever it comes to extracurricular works, she can always tell a thing or two. She knows everything that others don't know, and only this makes her a star in the Chinese class.
However, the girl I admire most in this class, her composition is also the biggest headache for me.
The composition of the senior high school entrance examination is mainly narrative, paying attention to writing people with things and expressing feelings with things. And this child, in particular, can talk. Either the topic with obvious narrative tendency is written as an argumentative paper, or there are too many paraphrases in the narrative, which leads to the lack of concise language. So it is difficult to get high marks in every composition.
You can't write a good composition without reading, and you may not be able to write a good composition without reading. What's the problem?

The reason why the child mentioned above likes talking is actually related to her own reading tendency.
From her usual speeches and compositions, it is not difficult to see that children cover a wide range. Classical literature, online literature and critical articles are all involved. Only for the pain points in her composition, there is no targeted reading.
This is like a problem that children are picky about food. They obviously lack vitamins, but they always like to eat meat. In the long run, they won't grow into fat people!
Since the children in the article pay attention to language and details, they should read short stories, narrative essays and even poems. These kinds of articles can make us pay attention to details and describe them.
Classical novels are of course classic, but because of the language barrier, it is not easy to apply what you have learned; Although online literature is loved by teenagers, it is mostly romantic novels with high illusory content and little benefit to writing.
I have no objection to reading classics. On the contrary, as long as children can read, they can read as much as they like.
Only from the perspective of writing a composition, only reading for your own problems is the most practical reading.
Of course, children should be allowed to study, not just to take exams. The fundamental purpose of reading is for the lifelong development of children. Forcing children to study because of exams, just like in Club Five, the father forced Lu Xun to recite before going to the theater, and the interest in going to the theater disappeared after the book was finished.

Reading too much and not writing well actually involves another problem, that is, how to read.
If reading can really serve writing, reading notes are essential. For students, the simplest operation method is extraction.
Extract words, sentences, even paragraphs and chapters that you think may be useful in future writing.
For example, I don't know how to simply describe a person's eyes when he can't understand things, but I came across this sentence in yesterday's reading: "Two eyes are looking around", so I wrote it down in my notes.
You must use it after extraction. It is best to make a new sentence at once to deepen the impression.
So, under this sentence, I continued to write: "When I got the information in my hand, I couldn't figure it out. I can only look back and forth on the text. "
After making a new sentence, the word becomes its own word, which is more impressive and can be remembered more firmly. When writing, if you encounter similar scenes, words will come to mind.
Excerpts should be classified and labeled.
Personal habits can be classified into time, type and chapter. Time and chapter, needless to say. I prefer to classify by type. For example, the description of eyes can be divided into one category: how to describe when you don't trust, how to describe when you are sad, and how to describe when you are happy. Such an episode is both easy to find and impressive.
Finally, knowledge will be forgotten and must be reviewed.
Qian Zhongshu is said to have a photographic memory, but in fact, he can do it by turning over his notes from time to time later. Everyone is still like this, let alone us!
Reading is the basis of writing, and you can't write a good composition without reading. But reading alone is not enough. With the purpose of applying what you have learned, you should reflect on whether your reading direction is correct and whether your reading method is effective. Only in this way can you enjoy reading and write good articles.
