Ms. Zhang Simin: When writing essays, don t rely too much on familiar materials

Mondo Education Updated on 2024-01-29

When writing, people tend to Xi rely on familiar material that has accumulated in their minds. For example, when I write about love, I think of my mother;When writing about friendship, think of classmates;When I write persistence, I think of running on the field;When writing about autumn, I think of falling leaves and so on.

But that's exactly what it isFamiliar material hinders the expansion of our writing in a broader, newer and deeper direction

Let's take an analogy. If a person is alone, he only has a few familiar friends around him. This person is Xi to this circle of friends who are familiar with it. When he has a little contact with strangers, he feels very Xi, and he feels less comfortable with familiar friends. It's human nature, and it's understandable. But sometimes, it's these overly familiar friends that prevent you from expanding your circle of friends.

It's the same with writing. When you can't write without those familiar materials, it means that it is difficult for you to write new ideas

It's like watching a movie. When a new face appears, it often brings new expectations to the audience. Because new faces appear, there is a possibility that new episodes will appear. For example, in the famous novel "Water Margin", every time a new character appears, there is a new story. For example, Lin Chong has the story of Lin Chong, and Yang Zhi has the story of Yang Zhi.

Take the beginning of an essay written by a classmate: That day, when I saw an old woman fall to the ground without anyone to help her, I couldn't help but feel sad for this society.

The beginning of this article is actually quite wonderful. The first is to have a sense of picture, and the second is to set up suspense, so that readers are curious about why the grandmother is "unsupported". But at the same time, the excitement of the beginning of the article is cut by the feeling of "I" in the text.

The article writes about "the grandmother fell to the ground and no one helped her". This scene gives the author a sense of "sadness". It's a feeling that everyone is familiar with. But because it's too familiar, it seems to lack novelty. Why does "the old grandmother fall to the ground and no one to help her" must make people feel "sad", perhaps, this is because the "old grandmother" fell to the ground and did not want to get up.

So,Don't rely too much on familiar material when writing an article. One is not to rely too much on the material itself, and the other is not to rely too much on the feelings generated by the material
