How to write essays to win awards

1. How to write an award-winning essay

Content is the shining point of an article. To make its point bright, it must:

1. Don’t follow what others say.

A few years ago, there was an essay on the topic of "love". In the essay, one of our classmates boldly wrote down his tragic life experience on paper. This essay won the sympathy of the marking teacher for its "tragic" , get high scores.

Unfortunately, many young people are affected by it. If they encounter similar topics, they will not hesitate to hurt themselves, hoping to deceive the teacher's tears and get high marks. Who knows that our teachers have already seen it? I'm annoyed. Instead of giving high marks, they think today's students are unreasonable and wicked.

One year's high school entrance examination essay was based on the topic of "cooperation", and one candidate broke away from the stereotype. He caught prey on the spot, used others to throw paper balls, and covered it with his feet. Several classmates cooperated sincerely and deceived. Using the invigilator as material, I wrote an article with twists and turns and received full marks. This method of finding differences within the same is worth learning from.

2. Have a sense of the times.

This approach is just like our politics teachers studying current affairs politics in the high school entrance examination. How to find out the content to be tested among many events and achieve steady victory?

Well, this requires wisdom, and the same is true for composition.

For example, if we write on the topic of "environment", some of our students will soon think of the practical issue of "cherishing life and protecting health" that is currently advocated, so they write about the lingering wind and sand swallowing in the form of fables. Crescent Moon (Crescent Moon Spring), wind and sand fill the oasis (Lop Nur). The article depicts a fictional Fengsha with a flamboyant personality, who is unscrupulous and tramples on life. Let readers realize that valuing the environment means valuing health, and valuing health means valuing life.

2. New style.

In the past, most of our compositions used three paragraphs: "a good beginning, a bad middle, and a good ending." With the advancement of the new curriculum reform in each curriculum reform pilot area and the main participation of students, candidates' personalities have been promoted, their thinking has been broadened, and their styles have been displayed to the public in a new look.

For example, write on the topic of "love".

One candidate used a parallelism to start his composition. The article was majestic and deeply shocked the readers' hearts.

In addition, some students also appeared in the form of practical essays. For example, write a contract, a letter, a speech, etc. to show your deep love and thoughts.

In 2004, a candidate from Hunan gave a speech, which was refreshing. The article begins with a story to introduce the topic of "family education", then lists various wrong practices that parents have in educating their children, profoundly points out the harmfulness of this kind of family education, and ends with an appeal to express the author's opinions. , highly contagious.

3. Language self.

The marking teachers all have certain literary qualities and like to read and write articles in their spare time. If you quote a whole paragraph of beautiful sentences written by others in the article, and these sentences happen to be well known to our teachers, the consequences are self-evident.

When Gorky wrote a long poem "Song of the Old Oak", he made great efforts and read a lot of Italian and British poetry. In order to make the poems "beautiful", he selected many poems from the Italian and British poems he had read and wrote them into "The Song of the Old Oak". Then he happily sent the poem to the famous writer Korolenko, but unexpectedly , after Korolenko read the poem, he only had one reply: "Please use your own words and write what you see!"

It is indeed good, what he narrates is what he wants to narrate, and the lyrical What you want to express is what you want to express, what you want to express is the emotion you want to express, so you must use your own words. Only in this way can the writing of the article be natural, the emotions can be revealed truly, and the readers can be moved by it.

In summary,

In order to get high scores in the composition of the high school entrance examination, candidates must seek differences from the same, seek strangeness from the same, seek strangeness from the same, and seek the same from the same. Seeking refinement. Show the article to the marking teacher in a "different", "weird", "strange" and "excellent" way. Only in this way can the article shine brightly and win the laurels in the examination room! 2. How to write a good award-winning essay

1. Review the topic carefully and clarify the meaning of the topic

Carefully clarify the requirements, focus and scope of the topic. This is the most important thing for a good composition. the first step.

2. Determine the focus and select materials

After clarifying the requirements, focus and scope of the topic, you must carefully recall the materials related to the topic and what things are your own The most familiar and the most innovative, prepare to express some idea, this is to recall the material and determine the center. Once the center is clear, we must surround the center and choose materials that best express the center. So that's going around the center, choosing the material.

3. Make an outline and determine the details

After determining the center and selecting the materials, you must make a writing plan, what to write first, what to write next, and what to write last. There is an order.

What content is closely related to the center should be written in detail, and what content is not closely related to the center can be omitted and divided into priorities. This does not require making an outline and determining the details. An outline is like a blueprint for building a building. With good drawings, the building can be strong and beautiful.

After completing the above three steps, you can write your composition according to the outline. In this way, the composition can avoid improper selection of materials, wrong writing, chaotic structure, unclear organization, or top-heavy and prioritized composition. No distinction, not even a central flaw.

In exams, it often happens that there is no time to complete the essay, the essay is stuck in the middle, and the essay cannot be finished. For this reason, the score rate of the essay for the exam is greatly reduced. However, if you can take some emergency measures, you can often win unexpectedly and save the defeat, which will relatively improve your exam composition scores.

1. Grafting method. It is to slightly modify and replace the model essays or exercises that have been read before, in terms of the structure of the article, or the relevant characters, or the theme of expression, or the arguments listed, etc., to make it consistent with the test content. The proposition is consistent with the requirements. This can not only save writing time, but also improve the quality of composition. It should be used not only when writing time is insufficient, but also when writing time is abundant.

2. Direct substitution method. During the exam, because too much time was spent on the basic questions in the first half, the writing questions in the second half were rushed, and objectively no more careful thinking was allowed. Instead of sticking closely to the proposition and requirements of the exam essay and writing half of it, it is better to slightly deviate from the proposition and requirements and complete one essay. Because the graders are very particular about the completeness of the composition, at this juncture, you might as well rewrite the article that is more impressive to you but is similar in content and writing style and directly replace it.

3. Make mistakes in the wrong way. When writing for exams, sometimes due to carelessness in reviewing the topic, I find that the article is off-topic or off-topic only after half of it is written, but there is not enough time to reconsider it. In this case, instead of changing the tone and writing a few paragraphs in the first half of the article, it is better to make the same mistakes and complete the entire chapter. Of course, we should try our best to make things as far-fetched as possible, try to save the situation, work hard on key points, analysis and summarization, and wrap up the chapters with lyrical discussions and conclusions. This may make the article miss the mark and survive the desperate situation.

4. Prepare outline method. During exams, sometimes we are busy studying the basics and writing short essays, so there is not much time left for the big essay. No matter how fast we go, there is not enough time. Instead of just writing a beginning or leaving it blank, it is better to make an outline. Good deal. Of course, the outline should be as detailed and specific as possible, so that the markers can at least see the structure, theme and general content of the article. If possible, add the beginning and end to give the markers a glimpse of the literary talent.

5. Leave the space blank to make a splash. When writing for exams, it is common to fail to finish writing in half because no outline has been drawn up beforehand. Most candidates tend to think hard and bite the pen to continue. The more they think about it, the more time they feel is urgent, and the more they think about it, the more they feel they can't connect. At this time, it is better to leave a blank space and write down the content you have considered in your conception first. When your thoughts are smooth, the content is recalled, or the full text is completed, you can then make up for it. That is also the best way to write the article.

6. Kickback title method. No matter what the situation is, it is extremely important to answer questions in the composition, not to mention it is especially necessary when the exam composition cannot be completed. For example, the title of one year's high school entrance examination in a certain city is "An Unusual Examination." After describing something, if you can't think of a better way to end it, you might as well end it with "For me, this is such an unusual test." "Exam" to conclude. With such a sentence ending, the score of the essay may rise significantly.

7. Anaphora at the beginning. Whether it is a narrative or an argumentative essay, both pay attention to the anaphora between the beginning and the end. If you can't find a better ending in the essay for the exam, you can write it in the way of anaphora at the beginning.

8. The finishing touch. In the writing of narrative essays, appropriate discussion can often clarify the topic and deepen the theme. When the essay for exams is too late to end, it is even more necessary to conduct relevant discussions to summarize the key points. This is both a last resort and an emergency measure. 3. How to write a good composition

1. Observe carefully.

Careful observation is the golden key to improving writing skills. Only by careful observation can we discover scraps of gold and jade from the mineral deposits of life phenomena, and snatch shining treasures from the mud and sand.

Without mastering the golden key of "observation", the "iron gate" of composition cannot be stepped through. 2. Read more.

Extensive reading is a prerequisite for improving the level of composition. To write good articles, you must read more.

"If you have read thousands of volumes, you will be able to write like a master." "If you have read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you will be able to recite them even if you don't know how to compose them."

We emphasize the need to read more, You also need to read selectively, and more importantly, you need to read in and understand the structure, technique, and language characteristics of the article you are reading. 3. Practice writing frequently.

Practicing writing frequently is the key to improving your composition. If you want to be good at composition To keep improving, the more important thing is to practice more.

As the proverb goes: "It is better to read ten articles than to write one." "This shows the truth that true knowledge comes from the practice of composition.

Keeping a diary is an effective way to practice writing. If you keep writing a diary every day, you will have a solid foundation for future compositions. 4. Use your imagination.

5. Read more. 6. Learn more from other people’s good articles (not plagiarism) and learn more from other people’s opinions.

7. Listen to other people’s opinions. 4. How to write well and win prizes in composition contests

1. Compositions must be learned and accumulated. "After reading thousands of volumes, writing is as if you have a spirit." It illustrates the importance of "accumulation" in writing. "Rely on accumulation in daily life, and rely on performance in the examination room." This is the common experience of students in the examination room. (1) In terms of language, a "vocabulary library" must be established. Vocabulary is the cell of the article. .Vocabulary in a broad sense refers not only to the collection of words and phrases, but also to sentences and sentence groups. There are two ways to establish a "vocabulary library": the first is reading. You should read extensively books, newspapers and periodicals, and take notes on reading, and put some Excerpts of beautiful words, sentences, and passages can be made in a specific book, or you can also make reading cards. The second is life. You should capture the vivid language in public speaking and write down these words in a small book or notebook that you carry with you. On the cards, if you accumulate them over time, you will be able to speak well, and your composition will be wonderful. (2) It is necessary to strengthen the accumulation of materials. Materials are the flesh and blood of the article. Many students do not pay attention to accumulating materials every time they write. Whenever possible, you will search for things, make them up, or plagiarize them. The way to solve this problem is to accumulate materials. If you have the conditions, you can bring a camera and a tape recorder to observe life in depth, actively participate in life, and sketch, write, and write diaries. , writing observation notes and other forms to promptly record what you have seen in family life, campus life, and social life. When recording, you must grasp the details and grasp the characteristics of people, things, objects, and sceneries. In this way, the articles you write will have flesh and blood. (3 ) To strengthen the accumulation of ideas. Viewpoints are the soul of an article. If the center of the article is not clear, or the intention is not profound, it often indicates that the author has superficial thoughts. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a "think tank". There are two methods: first, be good at thinking. "The more you think, the more you gain." You should think deeply at ordinary times, and ask more "why", "what" and "how" when something happens. In this way, you can see the essence through the phenomenon. You should also think about it at any time. Record the "sparks" and conclusions of thinking. The second step is to compile, that is, to excerpt famous quotes, aphorisms, etc. In short, the composition must strengthen accumulation and establish a "vocabulary library", "material library" and "thought library" These three major writing warehouses must be regularly inventoried, organized, classified, and continuously enriched and expanded.
