"A good beginning is half the battle", the beginning of an article is very important. With a good beginning, the article can not only drive the whole article, make it unfold smoothly, but also catch the reader and make it fascinating. The ancients said that the article "phoenix head, pork belly, leopard tail" contains this meaning. Here, I want to introduce several narrative methods that are easy to master:

First of all, cut to the chase

(1) Narrative method to explain the basic elements of events

The beginning of "Langjian" explains the time and place where it happened: "1On the morning of August 28, 945, looking down from Liang Qingshan, I saw many people walking along the mountain road to the airport outside the east gate."

At the beginning of "Remember a Table Tennis Match", the person, cause and time of time are explained.

(2) Cut to the chase and reveal the theme.

At the beginning of the article "Come Back", I wrote: "I haven't seen my father for more than two years. What I will never forget is his back. "

The article "Praise of Poplar" begins with: "Poplar is really extraordinary, I praise it."

This method is also used at the beginning of Silhouette of a Good Life.

(3) Take the beginning of things as the natural writing method at the beginning of the article.

An essay entitled "Remember a biology lesson" begins like this: "The bell rings, and everyone walks into the biology lab."

Second, indirect method.

The "indirect method" mentioned here is not the absence of "doors", but the use of writing techniques (such as discussion, description, lyricism, quotation, etc.) to decorate the "doors" more beautifully. ), rhetorical methods (such as questions, metaphors, etc. ) or other methods (such as setting suspense, etc. ), make the article more literary, so as to express the theme more deeply and vividly and fascinating. For example:

(1) environment description and rendering atmosphere

"Pear Blossom Blossom in the Post Road" begins with a description of the natural environment: "Mountain, what a big mountain! The undulating blue mountains are one after another, extending into the distance and disappearing into the confused spring scenery. " It plays up the deep and confused atmosphere of Ailao Mountain, and plays a role in setting off the touching story of the frontier fortress soldiers and civilians helping others later.

This method is used at the beginning of "lost years" and "housing allocation".

(2) the lyric method of deepening the theme discussion

The text "Who is the cutest person" and the example "Unusual Examination" all adopt this way of opening.

(3) quoting famous sayings, epigrams and poems

"People's Public Servant" begins: "People's life is limited, but serving the people is infinite. I want to devote my limited life to serving the people indefinitely. " This is a famous passage in Lei Feng's diary. Beginning with this passage, it undoubtedly played a "literary eye" role in describing Lei Feng's deeds later.

Bing Xin quoted Wang Wei's poem "Thinking of Shandong Brothers on a Mountain Holiday" at the beginning of the article "Thinking of my relatives twice during the festive season": "Being in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice during the festive season. I know from a distance where my brother climbed, and there is one person missing from the dogwood. " The topic is novel and sincere, pointing out the theme of missing overseas relatives.

(4) fascinating hints.

At the beginning of the second exam, a strange thing was put forward, which attracted the attention of readers and naturally made people think: "Why is this?" I am eager to find the answer from the following article, so as to enhance the appeal of the article.

(5) Ask questions to attract readers.

There is a composition entitled "My Hometown", which begins with: "Friend, have you been to my hometown? Have you climbed mountains, swam, and eaten fat carp in my hometown? "

There are many ways to write at the beginning of the article. The following are several common ones. In writing, sometimes we cannot use a single method, but several methods. With what method to start, we should consider the overall idea of the article, set out from the need to express the central idea, arrange the overall design throughout the article, and choose the most suitable starting method.

Wei Jie

Like the beginning, the end of the article is also very important. A successful ending can make readers understand the content of the article more thoroughly and further understand the central idea of the article; A wonderful ending can arouse readers' thinking and * * * sound, and enhance the appeal of the article. The ending should be like a bell, "there is more than a clear sound." The choice of ending method must also be considered from the overall situation, so as to make the narrative events complete and clear, and make the structure of the article echo from beginning to end, so as to better express the center and achieve the purpose of writing. Here are some common endings.

(1) Natural Smoothing Result Calculation Method

Nie Hualing's "Man, One Less" describes the different image and behavior of a beggar woman three years ago, and shows the profound theme of personality degeneration. The author did not add any comments and analysis, but simply described the course of the incident. At the end, it said, "Bang, the door was kicked open. The woman turned around, sneered and gave me a cold look. She doesn't even recognize me! " This unadorned natural ending leaves readers with infinite thinking space, which is memorable. The example "Remember a Table Tennis Match" also ends in this way.

(2) The head-tail echo method begins to quote.

The ending should echo the beginning, which is the general writing of narrative, and many articles reflect this feature. Mr. Guo Moruo said at the beginning of the article Egret: "Egret is an exquisite poem." Finally, he said, "Egret is really a poem, a prose poem with rhyme in its bones." "Egret is a poem", an unusual metaphor, especially the ending of which is embodied as "prose poem", highlights the characteristics of egrets' ordinary and beautiful, simple and noble, and praises their beauty.

(3) Full-text summary method makes the finishing point

This method generally summarizes the center of the full text or comments on the characters and events in the text in the form of discussion or lyric. The last paragraph of the article "Who is the cutest person" belongs to this type. This passage ends the whole article in a discussion and lyrical way. The title of the last sentence is: "You will deeply love our soldiers-they are indeed our loveliest people!" The examples of "The Color of Spring" and "Housing Distribution" also end like this.

Sometimes famous sayings, epigrams or poems can be used to summarize the whole text, so that the ending is concise and clear, which plays the role of making the finishing point. For example, in the last paragraph of "Pear Blossoms on the Post Road", "I look at these energetic Hani girls and the white pear blossoms, and I can't help but think of a sentence,' Pears are everywhere on the Post Road'."

(4) Implicit and profound heuristic association method

The end of Lu Xun's Hometown is the most typical example: "I think: hope is nothing, nothing." It's like a road on the ground; In fact, there is no road on the ground. If there are many people walking, it will become a road. "This passage is profound, pun intended. Encourage people to bravely open up the road to create a new life, sublimate the thoughts and feelings of the full text, and reflect Lu Xun's "tough" fighting spirit. The example "The Lost Years" makes such an attempt at the end.

(5) exclamatory sentences inspire readers

The end of some articles is neither a summary center nor an inspiration, but the author speaks his mind and expresses strong love and hate. At the end of "Praise of Poplar", he shouted: "Let those who look down on the people, despise the people and stubbornly retrogress praise the noble nanmu (also tall and graceful) and despise this extremely ordinary and easy-to-grow poplar. I want to praise the poplar loudly! "

At the end of the article, as at the beginning, the methods are flexible and diverse, and there is no fixed model. The methods provided above are for reference only, and should be used appropriately according to the needs of the content and center when writing, and cannot be copied mechanically.

V. Writing training

1. Try to say, "Why did dad who loves talking and laughing suddenly become quiet these two days?" Write an oral narrative for the first sentence of the article.

2. Try to write a narrative on the first sentence of the article, "My father, who likes singing least, suddenly hummed a ditty when he came back from work today".

Try to end the article with the following sentence, write a paragraph in front, or describe the situation, or describe the psychology of the characters.

"At the moment, the loud' DuDu' car horn sounds like a cheerful and melodious music to her."

Write a narrative with the following sentences as the end of the article.

"Alas, some things are often beautiful when you are eager to get them, but once you have them, you will find that they bring you joy and trouble."

Check the beginning and end of the previous composition to see if it can be revised better.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and so is composition. A good beginning can lay the foundation for the smooth development of the article. It is reasonable for the ancients to compare a good beginning to a "phoenix head" when writing articles. A beginning that can make people fall in love at first sight and arouse others' infinite reverie can often add a lot of color to your article. Especially in the exam-oriented composition, "Phoenix Head" can attract the attention of reviewers and make your article stand out.

A good composition should start with simplicity, novelty and beauty.

Jane means to be concise at the beginning and not to repeat it. For example:

Everyone has a home, some are happy, some are happy and warm, some are United and harmonious, and some are indifferent and lonely. Similarly, I have a home, but my home is different from other homes. My family pays attention to democracy and loves science. I have such a home.

What could have been written clearly in one sentence, but there are so many long-winded narratives in front of it, which makes the beginning seem very slow. Can be modified as follows:

If you want to ask me what kind of home I have, I can answer you in one sentence. I have a family that values democracy and loves science.

Cut all the nonsense, be straightforward and clean.

The so-called new is that the beginning is unconventional, novel and unique. For example:

I am a bird, a bird without wings. I am fluttering in the wind and rain, but I don't want to lose my way.

A voice calls from the bottom of my heart: I want to fly, I want to fly high ...-inscription.

I am a middle school student, running around in the sea of questions all day. I want to fly high

The author wrote down his heartfelt wishes in the form of "inscription". "Fly high", be the master of learning, and find the lost personality from the overwhelming homework. Such a beginning is striking.

The so-called beauty is that the beginning can give people a sense of beauty.

First of all, we can use images to describe, for example:

1. Through the window, I saw the Sophora japonica blooming again. Still so white, crystal clear and fragrant. bud of Chinese scholar tree

Finally, under the dim light of the road, the bloated body of the 5 1 bus appeared. People who waited for more than an hour at night began to get active. Crowd car

Secondly, appropriate rhetoric can be used to quote poems. For example:

1. Motherly love has a long history like a long river and is as fresh and sweet as spring water. I am also the lucky one bathed in the sunshine of maternal love. Endless love

2. "Nothing to do, it seems that I have met Yan." Every time I think of this poem, I can't help but think of the face of the nursery, the flowing nursery and the money in my ear. advisor

In short, as long as the content is fresh, the form is novel and the language is bright, such a beginning will give people a sense of beauty.

Our primary school composition will kill the ending sentence! ! ! cherish the memory of

I wonder if children can still use these sentences now. ...

1. "The students looked at the clean classroom, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and smiled ..." (used to describe after cleaning)

2. Q: "Thank you, children. What's your name? " (used after helping the elderly cross the road and other good deeds)

A: "My name is red scarf." (gold kills ~ ~ ~)

Xiao Ming, Xiao Hong, Xiao Gang, Xiao Li, Xiao X ... (In fact, the names of China people are all very nice ~, Li Shouyin and Shi Sanba.

Celebrity ~ ~ ~)

4. "It's sunny today, and there are no clouds in Wan Li. We came to XX Park for a spring outing. The first thing you see is a rockery. . "

"In the afterglow of the sunset, we reluctantly left XX, and I will always remember this happy and meaningful day!"

Why do you write a weekly diary every time you come back from a spring outing? )

5. "I love my home, my great motherland!"

"Looking at the slowly rising red flag, my reverence arises spontaneously."

6. "When I was shopping, my aunt gave me twenty cents more. I looked down and saw the red scarf fluttering on my chest and went back. "

Then: I looked down and found that the red scarf on my chest was more vivid.

7. "Today is my first time washing clothes. Today is my first time to wash dishes. Today is my first time to fold a quilt. Today is my first time.

Once. . . "(The first time is really hard to forget)

8. "In my memory, there is such a story called The Brightest Star …"

9. "My feet are like lead. . . . "

10. "Class is over, anyone ..., some ... and some ... how rich our after-school life is!

1 1. Countless revolutionary ancestors shed their blood for our happy life today. Compared with them, my heart

I am ashamed ... ""The five-star red flag is dyed red with the blood of martyrs. "

(What a bloody childhood-)
