1998 Han Han, the book is not well read but the article is well written, which has aroused great discussion in the educational and cultural circles. Han Han's first novel, Triple Door, sold nearly 2 million copies. He chose to drop out of high school and told the teacher, "I want to earn money by writing books to support myself." Later, he also refused Fudan's invitation to attend.
In the next few years, he wrote several essays and novels, and the payment really supported himself. He made amazing remarks on his blog many times, which caused an uproar in the literary world. He pays attention to current events and society and analyzes the real world in his eyes with universal values. Although sometimes I don't agree with his point of view, it doesn't prevent me from evaluating him-a thoughtful man.
However, it is not the time for Luo Jialun and Qian Zhongshu to go to college. It is extremely unlikely that Han Han is so serious but so successful. It is not recommended to follow suit. But children with good compositions do have deep advantages beyond grades.
Go to my lover's colleague's house for dinner on weekends. After dinner, the little girl of the host family showed me the composition she had just written. The little girl who just finished the third grade finished three composition assignments assigned by the teacher in one breath. Her mother doubted whether she had written her composition carefully, but she was afraid that the children would be impatient to listen to her nagging, so she asked me to help her read it.
I took the little girl's composition book and read it with great interest. What attracted me most was the first article, which wrote that one day there was a sudden power outage and there was no air conditioning fan in rainy days. The whole family ran out from home to enjoy the cool, and found that everyone on the first floor was outside, but it rained. This night is unbearable! The article does not end here. I changed a pen and felt that I really should pay attention to saving electricity at ordinary times, so that I wouldn't know how to cherish it when there was no electricity.
In fact, unlike water resources, electricity is renewable. But a little girl less than ten years old can think of these things from the night when the power went out, and I still greatly praised her for being good at thinking.
The child of my wife's other colleague is going to the third grade. Her mother is worried about her child's composition. She found me on WeChat and said that the child's composition was a running account. Not only does she have no content, but she also hates writing, saying that she has nothing to write about.
She sent me some children's compositions at random. I looked at them, and sure enough. The mother asked the child to write one article every day, and the child wrote a running account every day, which was dry and could not be read. Among several diaries that are not compositions, the only one that can make me dig out the bright spot is a diary about the last day of senior two.
Among them, she mentioned "this is the last day of my second grade" twice in the running account. She wrote that on the last day of this semester, the school asked them to exchange prizes, and what prizes could be exchanged for several principal lottery tickets. They exchanged prizes and listened to the school leaders, and the last day of the second grade was over.
Why do children want a running account? Why did you say you didn't write the composition? It is not a question of composition skills, but a question of children's thinking quality. She hasn't got into the habit of thinking further about life.
For example, why did she mention "this is the last day of the second grade" twice in a row? In fact, in her cautious eyes, she must be reluctant to end her second grade, but why not? What happened in a year that made her so nostalgic? She just stopped sighing that the day ended in the second grade, but didn't think about why her mood was wave-like.
This habit of lack of deep thinking will inevitably open the gap between children and children. Even after experiencing the same thing, children will have great differences in describing things.
Children who are good at thinking will pay more attention to their inner feelings, and even discover others' feelings through actions, language and demeanor, and their compositions will be detailed and vivid. Children who are not good at thinking will only "print" what happened directly, without rendering, and the diary written will be either careless or caught by the beard and eyebrows.
Many people have an illusion that children who are good at math must be better at innovative thinking. Actually, not necessarily. Many children have studied Olympic Mathematics, and seemingly winding problems can be solved quickly. After class, I listened to it with my daughter several times before I knew there was a formula. As long as they recite more formulas and do more problems, practice makes perfect, and they can judge at a glance what kind of problems they belong to and what formula to use to solve them.
Of course, I am not denying that mathematics can also exercise children's thinking, but it may be biased to judge children's thinking quality simply by mathematics level.
My daughter once met a very responsible math teacher while studying and thinking. The teacher did very well in math and physics. At first, he volunteered to apply for the Department of Mathematics in Peking University. However, he only scored more than 40 points in Chinese in the college entrance examination. Although math, science and even English were close to full marks, he failed to get into Peking University in the end.
There is no denying that this teacher is definitely a person with high IQ. After graduation, I was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, this high IQ teacher, a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was cheated out of tens of thousands of yuan in savings by the marriage support. Isn't it a little incredible?
Come to think of it, it's not surprising to say it. In the world of mathematics, there are reasons to follow and rules to be found. It is a language that he doesn't like and is not good at, especially writing, which can best test whether a person's thinking has innovation and breakthrough.
Aside from the skills of composition, what attracts the marking teacher most is whether a composition has a unique perspective, different materials and profound central ideas. With these, even if the composition is simple and plain, it can become a good composition; Anyway, no matter how gorgeous the language is, no matter how elaborate the beginning and the end are, the article doesn't have enough distinct soul, just piled up.
Therefore, for children who are about to enter the third grade with their loved ones and friends, the problem of composition may not be solved by simplifying the problem of composition. What she needs is to cultivate her own thinking habits and qualities.
The cultivation of this kind of thinking quality is actually in the dribs and drabs of life:
For example, finish a particularly interesting game with your child, and then ask her what she is feeling at the moment, so that she can learn to feel her heart; Ask the child how she feels about her parents, and how she knows, so that the child can learn to pay attention to others and learn to observe and understand others.
For example, after watching a child's favorite movie or animation, let her talk about her views and comments on a certain character in the film, and then tell the reason; When encountering some small things in life, let the children express their opinions and talk about their thoughts and feelings.
Give children some opportunities to play at will and make clothes for themselves with newspapers; Pinch people or animals with dough, dry them and then draw colorful patterns; Painting in the snow ... these activities that have no ready-made templates to imitate and can make children eager to try can stimulate their imagination and creativity.
Every time you finish the above things, let the children write a small diary, which not only accumulates the material of the composition, but also strengthens the children's thinking habits and improves their thinking quality.
I think that after such a "transformation project", this child can not only write the composition like the first child, but also her heart will change.
