How to write the beginning and end of a composition?

The ancients said that "the phoenix head and leopard tail" meant that the beginning should be written with grace and color. Just like the head of the phoenix, some people say that "a good beginning is half the battle", which shows the importance of beginning. Due to the limitation of time and space, the beginning of the composition in the examination room is concise, vivid and beautiful. The following methods can be considered.

1. Cut to the chase. The so-called "straight to the point" is a figurative statement, which refers to a straightforward way of writing articles. For example, "Talking about backbone" shows the point at the beginning: "We China people have backbone." "Praise of Poplar" touched on the theme at the beginning: "Poplar is really extraordinary, I praise Poplar!" This method should be the first choice for writing in the examination room.

2. The background is gradient. For example, "Kong Ji Ji Ji" begins: "The big square counter on the street ... can warm wine at any time". "Under the scorching sun and heavy rain" begins: "June 15, it's crazy!" These beginnings explain the time, place, festival, climate or the background and environment of the topic.

3. Ask questions. Flashback the result of things first, set suspense, or set questions to break the theme first and cause explanation or discussion. For example, Colorful Flowers begins with a question: "Why do flowers have all kinds of beautiful and bright colors?" The purpose of this opening method is to set suspense, attract readers' attention, stimulate readers' interest, increase the faltering of the article and show the beauty of the layout of the article. This opening technique appears frequently in the composition of the senior high school entrance examination.

4. Famous sayings and epigrams. Quoting epigrams, famous sayings, poems or proverbs at the beginning can attract readers and help highlight the center. For example, Cheng Yi's words were quoted at the beginning of Doubt and Learning: "Scholars must doubt first". This opening method is also an easy method for general candidates to master and use. The well-known epigram opening can often enhance the momentum of the opening, making people feel abrupt, eventful and lofty. Of course, the quotation should be as accurate as possible to avoid intellectual errors.

5. Excellent metaphor. Metaphor is used at the beginning to arouse the reader's interest in the thing or truth to be explained. For example, "China Stone Arch Bridge" begins: "The bridge opening of the stone arch bridge bends like a rainbow." Ma Shuo begins: "There is Bole in the world, and then there is a swift horse." Taking the story of Bole and Maxima as a metaphor leads to the central argument. Since it is a metaphor, we should pay attention to the similarity between "other things" and this topic, and we can't force it.

Generally speaking, the common mistakes at the end of students' compositions are: ① gild the lily. That is to say, the full text is over, which should be thought-provoking, but the author is still not at ease, determined to shake a few words, explain the whereabouts of people who don't need to be explained one by one, and pierce the meaning that could have been realized. Empty slogans. Finally, in order to show his position and attitude, he shouted something irrelevant to the content of the article, which was a big theme. 3 sloppily. The meaning of the ending is clear, but it is too late to finish, which conflicts with the theme of the article.

From this point of view, the ending of the senior high school entrance examination composition is particularly important. How to write a good ending and improve the quality of exam composition? The following are the commonly used ending techniques for senior high school entrance examination compositions.

1. Natural bunching. No matter what style of article, after expressing the content, it naturally closes the full text, instead of designing profound philosophical sentences and carving rich symbolic forms. This ending is called "natural ending". For example, at the end of My Uncle Yule, "When we come back, we will take the St. Marlowe boat to avoid meeting him again." And Mr. Fujino's ending all adopt this method.

2. End-to-end echo. The end should echo the beginning, write a sentence that echoes the beginning, and don't simply repeat it. This way of ending is a common way of ending all kinds of articles. This method can arouse readers' psychological aesthetic feeling and produce a feeling of rounded head and tail. For example, "Back" begins with "I haven't seen my father for more than two years, and what I can't forget most is his back". At the end, it says, "I don't know when I will see him again." Another example is "Praise of Poplar", which begins with "Poplar is really extraordinary, I praise Poplar." At the end, it said, "... I want to praise Bai Shu loudly. "

3. Zhang Xianzhi's style chess pieces. This way of ending is to express the theme clearly in concise language at the end of the article. For example, at the end of Jujube Kernel, it reads: "Changing the nation does not mean changing the national feelings. No nation is so attached to its homeland as we are." At the end of "Remember a Spinning Wheel", I wrote: "It is a pleasure to struggle with difficulties. -Remember a spinning wheel. "

4. Famous sayings and epigrams. It often appears at the end of essays, narratives and essays. In a few words, it expresses profound and thought-provoking philosophical or warning content, which is deeply imprinted in readers' hearts and has the effect of "endless words and endless meanings". At the end of "Pear Blossoms on the Postal Road", I wrote: "I can't help but think of a sentence' Pears on the Postal Road are everywhere'."

5. Lyric argument. Ending an article with lyrical comments can express the feelings of the author, arouse the emotional waves of readers and arouse their voices, which has a strong artistic appeal. For example, at the end of "Flower Market", I wrote: "I think: Hope doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just like the road on the ground; In fact, there is no road on the ground. If there are more people walking, it will become a road. "
