[Edit this paragraph] Improvement skills
Writing ability is an important part of human language expression ability. Therefore, in the process of Chinese teaching, it is very important to cultivate students' writing ability. .
My teaching targets are mainly intermediate-level students. During the teaching process, I found that the students’ writing mainly has the following problems:
1. Limited vocabulary and inability to write in detail Express: "My mother is a good mother. She is not only very good to me, but also very good to everyone. She is such a good mother." Simple repeated words obviously limit the expressive power of language.
2. Limited expression ability, difficult to organize an article with complete structure and coherent tone
. Because students are not yet familiar with the thinking and expression habits of Chinese, when they transition from writing a single sentence to organizing an article and expressing coherently in Chinese, they often seem to be unable to do so, and the articles they write are often fragmented or incomplete. express one's intention.
3. I don’t know what is written in my article. This is a very special phenomenon that mostly occurs in Chinese children. It looks like a well-written essay, but its author doesn't know how to read it. Why? Because the composition is written with the help of parents, and the choice of words and sentences reflects the parents' thinking. Such composition exercises do not function as exercises at all.
4. Afraid of writing. Some students perform well in reading, dictating, and even constructing sentences, but because they are afraid of writing, they almost give up studying Chinese after several years of study.
In front of such teaching objects, only explaining how to review questions and how to organize materials seems to be far away but does not quench the immediate thirst. Because they still have a series of obstacles to overcome before they start writing. If they are not helped to overcome these obstacles, writing will only be possible on paper. In teaching practice, I found that changing the writing procedure from "thinking-writing" to "thinking-speaking-writing" is one of the effective ways to help students overcome these obstacles. This change means that the teaching focus for this specific group at this time cannot only be on "writing", but should first do the first two steps: "thinking" and "speaking", that is, preparation and guidance before writing. Since these activities are based on students as the main body, we can also call them "pre-writing practice".
The focus of pre-writing practice is to guide and help students to speak correctly in Chinese what they want to write according to the requirements of a certain composition. The procedures and functions of pre-writing before writing are as follows:
1. The preparation stage is actually the "thinking" stage. Before starting to write, arrange the title and thinking outline of the composition in the form of homework, such as the composition "My Favorite Person/Object", which requires students to think in advance: Who/what? What characteristics does he/it have? Why do you like it? She/it?
Wait. Since most students in middle and lower grades have limited vocabulary, it is difficult to express them directly in writing. Appropriate preparation can allow students to have a prior understanding of the content they want to cover, especially some related words and expressions. and familiarity to ensure that classroom discussions can be fully carried out. At this stage, many students first think with the help of their mother tongue, and then translate it into Chinese. The influence of their mother tongue will leave more or less traces, thus affecting the expression effect of Chinese. Therefore, the following link becomes more necessary and important.
2. Oral composition and classroom discussion, that is, the "speaking" stage. This is to allow students to verbalize their ideas in class, and then conduct class discussions and teacher comments. Each composition discussion should focus on the topic and theme from vocabulary, sentences, structure and other aspects, determine several key points, solve the problem step by step, and accumulate and improve bit by bit. The functions of this activity are as follows:
(1) Improve students' overall expression ability starting from oral expression. Ye Shengtao once said: "Spoken words are words, written words are words.
The text is related to the language, so it cannot be referred to in a partial way. It should be combined based on the reasons. "Any language is divided into two parts: "language" and "wen". "Yu" is expressed in listening and speaking, and its essence is the application of language thinking. "Wen" is expressed in reading and writing, and its essence is the written expression of language thinking. . The rule of language learning is to first "language" and "literacy". Oral language is the foundation, and students' written expression ability can only be developed based on effective oral training.
(2) Successful" Saying "and commenting" can help students build a small thematic vocabulary library in every writing exercise. For example, when writing "My favorite person/thing", students can use inspiration to let them think about it. On the basis of this, verbally introduce the person or thing you like: What is he/it like? What aspects do you like about him/it? Classify these words and write them down on the blackboard and explain them, such as about the appearance of the person/thing. Words, words about the character of people/things, words about the quality and behavior of people/things, etc. Then let students read and memorize them. In this process, students accumulate and build up a small vocabulary library. It clears vocabulary barriers for the next step of writing, and at the same time broadens ideas, enhances expression effects, and improves expression skills.
(3) The difficulty of learning Chinese is not only that Chinese characters are difficult to remember and write, but more importantly. The biggest problem is that the huge differences in expressions and thinking habits between Chinese and Latin languages ??bring confusion to students. What we often encounter is that students can read and write, but they cannot speak or write correctly. Chinese sentences. For example: "I am Wei Ming, I am 16 years old"; "Dawei and I will go to the bookstore first"; "We parked the car on the side of the road", "I ran away to go home" and more. Some even write sentences like "My friends are as kind and friendly as dogs" because they don't understand Chinese culture. "Shuo" starts with oral expression and trains its correct expression method, word order and correctness through demonstration, explanation and correction. Appropriate terminology guides students to enter the real Chinese realm and write articles that conform to Chinese habits.
(4) The training steps of speaking first and writing later are helpful in promptly correcting elementary errors in expression and achieving the goal. *** The effect of simultaneous improvement. "Speaking" is carried out in the classroom in the form of discussion speeches. This form can give more students the opportunity to learn from others' strengths and be inspired by them. At the same time, due to the effectiveness of oral expression. "Informality" means that it is much easier to correct than written writing. It allows students to make mistakes, correct each other, self-correct, and correct problems at any time through timely comments by teachers and students. ***Learn lessons together and avoid similar problems from recurring in compositions
(5) Effective pre-writing practice can help students overcome psychological barriers and improve their motivation for writing. Many students become afraid of writing and hate writing because they cannot write well, which leads to a vicious circle. In this link, through "talking", each student can prepare certain skills and psychology before writing. When students are ready to write, their self-confidence will increase accordingly, and their enthusiasm will naturally increase accordingly.
When students can express their most basic meaning orally in a more appropriate way, tell them. Just write whatever you say, try to write down what you say, and then process and modify it, it will be a very good article. Practice has proven that this targeted training is very effective in improving students' Chinese writing and expression levels.
[Edit this paragraph] Benefits of writing compositions
In fact, educating children from an early age on how to write good compositions will be of great benefit to their future. Let’s just talk about it briefly.
Benefit 1: Writing compositions requires thinking, which cultivates children’s ability to think about problems. If you are given a composition topic, you need to organize the materials according to the composition topic. This also exercises children's organizational skills.
Benefit 2: Writing essays can train children’s reading and analytical skills. When organizing and collecting materials, you must read them. If you don’t read them, you won’t know whether the materials are appropriate or not. It's time to write an essay, so it's too late for you to look for information. Therefore, children's reading ability is developed. This is also the benefit of writing essays for children.
Benefit three: Writing can broaden children's thinking, allowing children to open their minds and imagine whatever they want, and then write it down. This cultivates children's thinking and expands it.
Benefit 4: Cultivate children's language expression ability and better organize speech.
There are many more. In short, writing has many benefits for children, so parents must cultivate their children's interest in writing. Give your children a good future.

3. Briefly describe the relationship between the material and the theme.
Materials are the basis for refining and forming themes. The theme is refined and determined in the process of analyzing and researching the material. The material is primary and the theme is secondary. 2. Materials are a means of expressing deep themes, and themes are expressed or proven by certain materials. 3. The selection and organization of materials are restricted by the theme. Before the theme is formed, the materials play a decisive role in refining the theme; once the theme is determined, it becomes the most important basis for selecting or arranging the materials. The selection, elaboration, and transformation of the materials should be subject to the needs of expressing the theme to prevent the materials from being inconsistent with the theme. Out of touch.

There are strict logical connections between the parts of the article, and they cannot be contradictory or unrelated to each other. 4. The structure of the article is flexible, lively, and not rigid.
6. Describe the basic principles of structure
The structure of narrative articles is closely related to the stages and order of the development of things, and forms an original order that conforms to the objective process. The concept of time and space; argumentative articles reflect the process of understanding things from phenomenon to essence, from part to whole, from analysis to synthesis. The structure is often to raise questions and draw conclusions. 2. The idea is consistent with the author's thinking. The author's thinking process must abide by the common laws of people's thinking, and embody the author's unique understanding and feelings of things. 4. The structure should be adapted to the stylistic characteristics. Narrative articles write about people in the order of time and space, while argumentative articles focus on horizontal classification or vertical in-depth.
7. The basic content of the review structure
The content of the structure includes hierarchy and depth. There are three major aspects: paragraphs, transitions and anaphora, and beginnings and endings. The hierarchy is the overall arrangement of the ideological content of the article, unfolding the structure and steps of the article, and is the structural unit that expresses meaning; the paragraph is set by the author in the article, starting with the paragraph. The space form is a relatively independent structural unit. The paragraph should maintain a single meaning, a complete content, and an appropriate length. Transition refers to the common transition methods between paragraphs and levels. : Use related words, use transitional names, and use transitional paragraphs. There are two common situations where transition is needed: one is when the content changes, and the other is when the expression changes. Structural means. There are three common situations of anaphora: beginning and ending anaphora (which can be divided into two types: point anaphora and solution anaphora), and mutual anaphora in quotations (which can be divided into two types: distant anaphora and near anaphora). An important means of making the structure rigorous and lively can make the chapter flexible and dense, the context coherent, and the key content strengthened.

How to practice the basic skills of composition well
If students want to write well, they must practice the basic skills of composition in a down-to-earth manner since childhood.
How to practice the basic skills of composition well?
The predecessors have summarized several effective experiences for us, namely: observe more, read more, practice writing more, think more, and revise more.
Observe more: that is to say, we should pay attention to observe life and be a thoughtful person in life. In a letter written by Mr. Lu Xun in reply to a discussion about how to write an article in the "Beidou" magazine, the first article was "Pay attention to various things, look at more, and don't just write when you see something." For the people, animals, and plants around you, The scenery... must be observed carefully.
Read more: The ancients said: "Reading thousands of volumes, writing is like a spirit." When you are young, you can read and recite some good articles, which can be remembered for a long time, and you can also learn some composition methods. Mr. Lu Xun said: "Any great writer who has been evaluated, his works all explain 'how it should be written.'" Mr. Lu Xun also advocated "breadth and breadth". In addition to reading literature books, you should also read some history, Books on geography, science and technology to increase knowledge and expand horizons. When reading, you must also develop the habit of seriousness. Don't just look at things and don't ask for a thorough explanation. You should work hard to gain something from every book you read.
Practice writing more: As the saying goes: "A good memory is not as good as a bad writing." Now, many students have begun to write observation diaries and take reading notes. This is good and should be persisted. The late writer Lao She warned us: "To lay a good foundation, the first step is to learn to 'note' and remember one thing every day." "The best tips are to 'write every day' and 'take a pen every day', even if It doesn’t matter if you write a few dozen words.” Because “after you develop the habit, you can grasp the key points even if you don’t remember them. Over time, you will have more things in your stomach.” If you don’t practice, your hands will become weak. The more you practice, the more you write, the more practice makes perfect.
Think more: Mr. Lao She said: "When you read an article, think carefully after reading it. People who can write articles can use one word to express several words, and they will find a suitable one. When reading an article, if you just think about it and don’t think about it carefully, you won’t be able to realize its benefits. "You have to think about it when reading an article, and you also have to think about it when you pick up the pen, and the result is not to write a thousand words. , digressing thousands of miles, even after writing a few sentences, I can't finish writing, so I have to "squeeze toothpaste", think about a sentence, write a sentence, and ramble. How can I write such an article well? Only by thinking more can we produce wisdom, by thinking more can we write profound articles, and by thinking more can we write articles vividly.
Revise a lot: Revision is an important part of writing. If writing an article is compared to producing a product, then modification is an essential "process" in the production process. Some people say that good articles are made by editing them, and this makes sense. In an article, what needs to be changed and what does not need to be changed? We must proceed from reality and carefully add, delete, and modify the article that has been written in terms of conception, material selection, chapter structure, language, punctuation, etc. , making the article more perfect, more thorough, and more accurate to reflect objective reality. Students who are new to writing essays should develop the habit of careful revision.
The "five more" mentioned above are not the "secrets" and "tricks" of writing, but the common sense that you must know to practice the basic skills of composition well.
So, what are the basic skills of composition?
[1] Practice the basic skills of composition - learn to review the topic
1. Review the object clearly.
When the teacher sets the question, don’t rush to write. You should read the question carefully and understand the requirements of the question exactly. Is it about people or events? Is it about scenes or objects? Is it a diary or a letter? Is it a practical article or an imaginative article? Once these are clarified, the composition will have a basic direction. Some of the topics are very obvious, such as writing about people and events, and you can tell them at a glance. For example, "My Mother" and "My Respected Teacher", you can tell at a glance that they are written about people. Another example is "An Unforgettable Thing" and "An Event That Happened in Summer Vacation". You can tell at a glance that they are about events. Another example is "Beautiful River", which you can tell at first glance is a depiction of scenery. "Cute Puppy" is something you can tell at first glance. "A Letter of Proposal" is a practical essay, and "I am in 2211" is an imaginary essay. However, some titles, such as "Winter Morning", can be used to describe scenes or events; "On the Road to School" can be used to write about what happened on the way to school, which is mainly about recording events, or it can be used to express the characters through what happened. As for ideological quality, it is mainly about writing about people.
2. Scope of review.
When reviewing the topic, we must also clarify the time, space, quantity, object and content limitations of the author’s selected materials. If you are unclear about these scopes and ignore the restrictions of certain aspects of the topic, it will be easy to go off topic when writing. For example, "Summer Life Slices" limits the scope of material selection - summer vacation life; "My Good Friends" identifies the object of the narrative - good friends; "Happy Sunday" stipulates the time of material selection - Sunday; "Travel to Xiangshan" stipulates the location of the material selection - Xiangshan; "Recording an Incident in Primary School Life" limits the number - one incident, and cannot write two or three incidents.
For complex composition topics, you must learn to analyze the grammatical structure. For example, "A Meaningful Life I Have Experienced" is a relatively complex topic. It includes four requirements:
①The content of the article should be mainly about "I";
< p> ② You are required to write about a period of life you have experienced, not just your thoughts;③ You are required to write about a period of life, not just one day or one thing;
④ It is required that the life you write about should be meaningful, not ordinary or dull.
Review the scope of the composition, including which style of writing is more appropriate. For example, "Being a good student who is civilized and polite" requires writing an essay to clearly explain why we need to be civilized and polite; "New Fashions I See" requires writing a narrative essay to describe in detail what is happening in society. Or a new trend that you saw with your own eyes in school; "How to Raise Rabbits" requires you to write an explanatory essay to tell the general knowledge about raising rabbits; "Notices and Notes" requires you to write a practical essay to introduce the importance and importance of notices and notes. Writing method.
3. Key points of approval.
After reading the essay question, think about what should be the focus of the question. For example, "Lei Feng's deeds educated me". The focus of this topic is on the word "education". It is necessary to write "Lei Feng's deeds" and what "education" "I" received from it. If you only write about Lei Feng's deeds without writing about the education of "me", it will become Lei Feng's story; if you write about the education of "me", it will only express determination, which will also invert the emphasis and not highlight the focus.
[2] Practice the basic skills of composition - learn to give a good title to the article
1. It must be consistent with the ideological content of the article, and do not "the title is wrong."
For example, if you want to record a wonderful football match, but the title of the article is called "Little Football Fan ×××", instead of focusing on recording events, you will focus on writing about people. This is called "the title is wrong." ”, shifting the “center”.
