The first is the extended training method, how to write good sentences and paragraphs from 0 to 1.
The second is picture description, which teaches you how to write the picture you want.
The third method, which I call Buddhism learning method, is interesting to listen to. Buddha nature is a way of learning when you relax.
Let's talk about the first one, the outward bound training method.
We often say that we can get wonderful hands occasionally, but in the process of writing, where can we get so many wonderful hands? The real situation is that there will be many places that we are not satisfied with, and these places need us to add, subtract and modify bit by bit.
Extension training method is to start from a short sentence, slowly supplement and expand, and form a complete fragment.
For example, let's look at this sentence:
I miss the happiness of my childhood, because my mother would read me stories before going to bed every night.
Now, let's expand this sentence and add some details. Listen carefully:
I miss the happiness of my childhood, because my mother would read me stories before going to bed every night.
Mother's voice is very soft, with those soothing melodies. There are always several tapes in the tape recorder, but now those tapes are long gone, and the tape recorder has become an antique lying quietly in the corner, remembering the sound of putting me to sleep.
In this sentence, I expanded my memory of the feeling of sound, and thought of things like tapes and tape recorders, which were related to the theme of childhood.
If we make a little supplement and become like this, the sentence will be a little long, so listen carefully:
I miss the happiness of my childhood, because my mother would read me stories before going to bed every night.
Mother's voice is very soft, with those soothing melodies, just like soft raindrops falling on the earth.
When I was a child, before I closed my eyes every night, I was always anxious and eager to be with my mother. Last night, I loudly asked her to turn the story book to the corner, threatening to cry and laughing contentedly. I poured out my wayward and naive thoughts with only small means, enjoying the feeling of being touched and kissed on my mother's knee, and enjoying the silence in the music and the trembling in my mother's arms after listening to the story.
After reading the story, the music ended, the shaking stopped and I fell asleep.
Mother's voice changed from clear to fuzzy, from whisper to whisper, leaving only a few tapes that were played circularly on the tape recorder beside her.
Now those tapes have long since disappeared, and the tape recorder has become an antique lying quietly in the corner, remembering the sound of putting me to sleep.
I don't know if you have noticed that I added my inner feelings on the basis of the previous one, not only recalling those voices, but also writing out my own and my mother's little emotions and inner thoughts, enriching the whole paragraph.
In the above example, I focused on the sound, that is, the auditory part, from the sound to my inner feelings.
Now you should know that we can try to arouse readers' senses, such as hearing, sight, taste and so on, express some sensory stimuli, and add our own feelings to arouse readers' * * *.
Speaking of the first method, let's look at the second method: picture description.
Writing a sense of picture is actually a very difficult thing. You must be confused. The picture in your mind is too abstract to be expressed in words. You don't know what to do.
I want to tell you that the training of drawing sense can only begin with drawing some concrete pictures, such as taking out a beautiful picture and then describing what you see in words.
I use a picture as an example. Students who are listening to the audio can look it up in the manuscript.
If you were asked to draw this picture, how would you write it?
You can pause the audio first, think about it, and then come back to see how I express it.
I would say this:
That is a girl standing in the sun. I don't know where she is looking and where she is going. All I know is that she will never stop. As long as she keeps going, she will eventually meet the world she wants.
The mountains will be her background, and the rosy clouds are just scenery. She just walked on the flat land, leaving a strong silhouette for the world.
Let's analyze this example, which is actually to write out the elements in the picture, such as mountains, rosy clouds and so on. In addition, I also add some expressions of values, such as never stopping, which is my own feeling.
Therefore, we should honestly describe what we see in front of us and properly integrate our values and feelings.
We can also practice backwards. After all, when writing an article, we communicate with readers in words, and there is no such picture in front of them.
Now I want to write another paragraph. Let's feel it and see what comes to mind.
She sat alone on the roof with her hands in her chest pockets and her feet hanging in the air.
She just turned her back on me. I can't see her face or eyes. I can only stand behind her and imagine the world she sees.
In front of her, in the past, she could only look up, but now she is sitting on the rooftop, even overlooking, but unfortunately, this is only a change in perspective, not a leap in life stage.
The city is clearly in front of us, but why is it vague? Is it the fog in the air or the tears in my eyes? I don't know. I can only see her back, watching her sitting motionless in the corner of the rooftop.
What is the picture you think of now?
Students can check this picture in the manuscript to see how different it is from what you think.
When we write a paragraph, we can show it to our friends and ask them how they feel. Let them imagine the original picture according to your description and improve it bit by bit. If everyone can imagine the picture after reading your words, congratulations, your words are accurate and you have succeeded.
In this training method, one thing is particularly important, which needs to be emphasized to you again, that is, to describe the picture you see honestly and properly integrate your values and feelings.
Because everyone feels differently, everyone's writing will be different, which reflects the uniqueness of everyone's writing.
After the picture description method, let's talk about the last training method, which is a bit too much. Hold on.
The last method is a very simple method, the Buddhist learning method. Are you looking forward to it? How to learn and train words and sentences when relaxing?
I know you may say that work is too busy and there are many things to do. Is there any way to relax a little?
Yes, there really is, because besides deliberate practice, it is also important to be influenced by it.
When I relax, I will exercise myself and draw nutrition from novels, poems and music.
Let's talk about novels first. Novels are dedicated to telling stories, with delicate and rich descriptions, spreading, reversing, advancing, ending and so on.
But when reading a novel, don't just read it. You should understand how the author makes readers sing and learn to write in the novel.
If the novel is exquisite, then poetry is rich in imagination. The language of poetry is very concise, but it is difficult to describe it with pictures.
For example, a poem like this:
A black crow flew into my black eyes in the dark.
I believe that it is difficult for the best painter in the world to draw such a picture.
Therefore, if you are tired, you can turn over a few pages of poems, and you don't have to memorize them. It is always not difficult to cultivate sentiment and sense of language.
If reading novels and turning over poems make you feel trouble, then you always have time to listen to music. Of course, you can make time to listen to a song on your way to and from work and during exercise.
Let's list some lyrics.
For example, in the omnipotent youth society, who comes from rivers and lakes, but is confined to day and night, kitchen and love?
For example, Chen Li travels all over the world, and Qianshan always has his hometown.
For example, in Jonathan Lee, I finally lost you in the crowd.
Don't underestimate every lyricist. Some lyrics are not worse than poetry, and there are too many so-called golden sentences that directly poke people's hearts.
Anyway, this method is not very easy.
The first is the extension training method, which focuses on arousing readers' senses and using sensory stimulation to cause * * * sounds, so that readers can feel immersive.
The second is the picture description method. The most important thing is to describe the picture you see honestly and properly integrate your values and feelings. It is precisely because everyone feels so different that the words written are unique.
The third is the learning method of Buddhism. When you relax, you can cultivate your feelings for words by reading novels, reading poems, listening to music and feeling lyrics, and improve yourself imperceptibly.
This is what I have been thinking about recently, how to polish our words in detail, I hope it will be useful to you.
