First, clear the purpose of selecting novel materials
Center is the soul of the article, structure is the skeleton of the article, and material is the flesh and blood of the article, which determines the quality of the article. Select true, typical and novel materials around the center, so that the composition content will present a "rich" state, and your composition will be more than half successful.
Novel material must be "everyone has it in his heart, but everyone has nothing in his pen". For example, an essay "The Tree in Your Heart" with the topic of growth selects three materials: (1) the stubbornness and resistance of "I"; ⑵ Parents' care for "me" during illness; A quarrel between my parents led me to run away from home. Comparing these three materials, we find that we will encounter the above three situations on the way of growing up, while most students will think that the second and third materials are prone to "crash", so why not work hard on the first material? Grasping the contradictions and conflicts between oneself and parents, showing the characteristics on the road of growth, writing personality and writing style are novel writing materials, which will play a better role in highlighting the center.
Second, the main problems in the selection of candidates' compositions in the examination room
1, obsolete. If you write about the topic of parents' care for yourself, the most frequently selected materials in the article are: giving medicine when you are sick and have a fever, giving hot milk when you do your homework late at night, giving an umbrella when it rains, etc. If diligence is the topic of articles, the most frequently selected materials are Madame Curie, Edison and so on. In short, it is the same old story over and over again. It is very difficult to get high marks in such compositions because the materials are too old.
2. make it up. When I was marking a paper, a candidate wrote a composition on the topic of "family life", saying that his mother was a "madman" and applied an article "Crazy Mother" in "Chinese Teaching and Research, Reading and Writing World" in an attempt to win the sympathy of the teacher. It's a pity that he doesn't have true feelings, and the article he wrote gives people the feeling of being blunt and empty, in exchange for my "strike hard". Because some students can't choose materials, they make it up when writing, lacking true feelings, not to mention "novelty".
Third, the source of novel materials
1, comes from the writer's direct life experience, including what he saw, heard, thought and realized. For example, in the article "I Love Wild Peas", I wrote about my personal experience, such as the joy that wild peas brought to my childhood, and I wrote that wild peas were our great benefactors from my mother.
2. It comes from the author's indirect life experience, including people or things he got from textbooks, extracurricular reading materials, newspapers, radio and television, internet and other aspects. In recent years, in the full-mark compositions of the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, celebrities' statements and famous sayings add luster, historical stories and idioms are transformed, some new contents are added, the "living water" of the times is injected, and the spirit of the times is reflected. There are many such examples, and the effect is also very good.
Fourth, the wonderful method of picking new materials
1, focusing on "self".
A basic requirement of the composition for the senior high school entrance examination is to write "true feelings". The purpose of this requirement is to pay attention to digging up materials from the perspective of self, writing things that really belong to "me" and expressing feelings that really belong to "me". When selecting materials, focus on "self" and think about which materials will be the same as the students. What are the unique materials that really belong to me? Will I "crash" with other students when I choose this material? In this way, ask yourself more questions, prepare more materials, and then make a choice.
2. Focus on "celebrities" and "history".
Whether it is textbooks or extracurricular books, we read a lot of works. In the usual reading process, we must be conscientious in writing, and we must develop the good habit of collecting writing materials, such as famous sayings, good words and sentences, anecdotes, historical legends, etc., and extract typical and representative materials to write with them. We can talk about them and try to create novels, fables and fairy tales based on them.
3. Focus on the "concept of the times".
Looking at the composition of senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in recent years, we will find that the score rate of articles that can stand at the forefront of the times and express the style of the times is definitely high. For example, not long ago, in an essay on the topic of "perseverance", most students wrote about pavel korchagin and Edison, while one candidate focused on the news figures around him and wrote about Deng Younian, one of the top ten news figures who moved Xiangfan in 2006. A teenager who was only 13 years old pushed his disabled father and walked for more than a thousand kilometers to Shanxi to defend his father's rights after hardships. How can such a creative article not get high marks?
Life is the source of writing. Students should not only learn to get writing materials from school life and family life, but also learn to get writing materials from social life, focusing on contemporary hot spots and focuses, injecting fresh blood into your material selection, making innovations and writing features. Why worry that your composition is not attractive?
