JK Rowling, with a pen, completed the gorgeous counterattack of her life, from a single mother who relied on government relief to the richest man in Britain on an equal footing with the Queen of England, and now she has become an "honorary companion order" of the British royal family.
I think you must be as curious as I am:
Where does the magic of JK Rowling's writing pen come from?
When Rowling was a child, she had short hair, freckles and glasses. She is a little shy and doesn't like to talk. She was unpopular at home or at school, so she had to spend a lonely childhood reading and books.
A lot of reading in childhood laid a solid writing foundation for Rowling. Foreign children's reading is different from that in China. Foreign children's extracurricular reading generally focuses on children's favorite stories. The story allows Rowling to enjoy reading, expand Rowling's literary imagination and integrate into her life. That on the day of her mother's death, she could see a thin little black wizard with glasses, smiling at her all the time outside the window. This little wizard is what she later wrote about Harry Potter.
She likes writing and telling stories since she was a child. At the age of 6, Rowling finished her first fairy tale "Rabbit": the protagonist is a rabbit, a rabbit with measles, and all her good friends have visited it. My sister Diane is the object of her story. The plot of Rowling's novels is the most attractive place for readers.
When Rowling graduated from high school, her parents forced her to enroll in the German Department. But as soon as her parents left, Rowling turned to classical literature. In the eyes of her parents, it is a major that "can't even earn a bathroom".
But it is the classical literature education received by Rowling University that has cultivated her profound literary foundation. Rowling loved mystery novels during her college years, so she gained meticulous logical thinking.
She usually writes an ultra-detailed writing outline before writing. Her children's novels are good at the story form of classical literature and keep digging holes.
After her mother died, she broke off the father-daughter relationship with her father, was abandoned by her husband, and lived on government relief with her three-month-old daughter. When Rowling's life fell into a trough, she began to write, and since then, she has been out of control and gained fame and fortune.
You may think that I have no hope to be like her in my life. Yes, the vast majority of people in our generation are really hopeless. When many people think of writing, they will think of the painful composition experience in school as a child.
But have you ever thought that you have no hope, and your children still have hope!
Why is there no such story as the great JK Rowling in China?
There are no great and imaginative works like Harry Potter and Star Wars?
The fundamental reason is that children in China lack the cultivation of their story reading and creativity in childhood.
Teacher Wan Weigang said that children's reading in China is a bit like football in China. First, our real level is lower than we thought. Secondly, we all talk, but we don't let our children do it.
Children in China read what their parents and teachers want them to read, not what they want to read. The top books in Amazon China list are aimed at parents rather than children, such as the baby's first good character book, or classic books such as Grimm's fairy tales and the little prince. Parents buy these valuable books back, just like putting new jewelry on their children.
Schools in China divide books into in-class books and out-of-class books, but the concept of out-of-class books should not exist in the first place. All books are extracurricular books, and only the textbooks in class are called "in-class books". Although today's teachers don't always confiscate children's extracurricular books as before, in China, there is little time to really read students, who are busy with a lot of homework and exercises.
First of all, as soon as the child is born, the city library will send a package of gifts, which contains various types of books introduced by his library, that is, to encourage parents to accompany their children to the old library.
At the beginning of kindergarten, every teacher has his own book corner. 80% of American primary school students' homework is reading. Schools often send book advertisements to children's homes.
In primary schools, in addition to studying in American schools, children are encouraged to write books with chapters, covers, illustrations and thanks from the authors. The school will also invite parents to come to the school to comment on their children's works.
In America, reading is a kind of value. As long as the children hold books, parents and schools will be very happy.
As we said just now, the best-selling children's books in Amazon China are Baby's First Good Personality Development Book, Grimm's Fairy Tales and The Little Prince. So what are the best-selling children's books in America?
Most of the top children's books in Amazon America are story books, and they are relatively new story books-the oldest is probably Harry Potter, not Grimm's Fairy Tales. Story books are the books that normal children really want to read. The list of new story books shows that American children are really reading books, rather than buying classics to take home.
This is the gap between Chinese and American reading competitions.
I want my children to be willing to leave the mobile phone screen, TV and computer games and fall in love with reading. The best children's books are stories with heroes, adventures and exciting plots that are beyond children's daily knowledge.
Teacher Wan Weigang gave a list of books suitable for primary school students in the column:
1. mary pope osborne's magic tree house series.
2. Geronimo Stilton's mouse reporter series, such as Lucky Dragon.
3. Wings of Fire Series 3. Tui Sutherland
4. Lego Phantom Ninja Series
5. Pokemon: Deluxe Essential Manual
6.LeapReader's "Click to Read"
7. Dav Pilkey's dog man series comics
8. Any intellectual game, such as the intellectual game of smart children.
9. Liu Bing Tellge Mayer's long comic books, such as Ghost.
10. 100 paper folding &; fly
If you don't want your child to become a writer, isn't it necessary to make your child love reading?
No, it is the responsibility of parents to make their children fall in love with reading.
Reading is very important for people's language ability and analytical understanding ability.
If nothing else, just look at language ability, reading is a lifelong benefit.
20 1 1, with large-scale comprehensive research. Some people say that reading time determines the language ability of a typical kindergarten student, which affects the language ability of primary school students 13%, junior high school students 19%, senior high school students' 30% and college students' 34%. The more books children read, the stronger their language expression ability, and this effect is more obvious with the increase of grade.
Now, when it comes to speeches, the United States can talk about anyone in Kan Kan, while China people obviously have good professional skills, but they often don't know what to say. China students study well abroad, but they fall behind in every interview. The reason lies in the advantage of foreign children in language expression during the interview.
Aren't these also due to the loss of not studying since childhood?
