Writing Method of the Examination Room's Essay and Fictions

Answer 1

The following are some of the main points of writing an essay in the examination room:

** I. Question Review and Concept **
1. ** Exam Questions **
- Understand the requirements of the questions. It was clear whether it was a proposition essay, a semi-proposition essay, or a material essay. If it was a proposition essay, one had to understand the meaning and extension of the topic in depth; if it was a material essay, one had to carefully analyze the key information, hidden meaning, character relationships, and other contents in the material to dig out the direction of writing.
- To determine the genre of the novel. For example, science fiction, suspense, romance, or growth, etc. It depended on the topic and the direction that one was good at.
2. ** Intention **
- The theme was clear. Set a clear central idea, such as expressing the preciousness of friendship, the kindness of human nature, or the pursuit of dreams.
- The idea was profound and novel. He could look at the problem from a unique perspective, such as reflecting social reality by describing the struggles of small characters in the context of the great era, or attracting readers with novel settings (such as the changes in human nature after time travel).

** 2. Selection and Concept **
1. ** Selection of Materials **
- The material had to be authentic and logical. Even if it was a fictional story, the development of the plot had to conform to the common sense of life. For example, when describing a detective solving a case, the clues and reasoning process of the case must have a certain degree of logic.
- To see the big with the small. Choose a small matter in daily life, such as a quarrel on campus, and use this small matter to reflect the psychological growth of teenagers or interpersonal relationships.
- The material had to be novel. He should avoid using old plots, such as the old-fashioned hero saving the damsel in distress. If he wanted to use them, he should also make some new ones, such as setting the hero saving the damsel in distress in a virtual reality game world.
2. ** Concept **
- plot structure
- Beginning:
- He could get straight to the point and directly put the key plot or conflict of the story at the beginning, such as "He died, died on that snowy night", which quickly aroused the curiosity of the readers.
- Suspense-type, asking a question or setting up a mysterious scene, such as "Behind the tightly shut door, there was a strange sound. He hesitated for a long time before deciding to push it open."
- Host:
- Construct the development of the story, including the actions of the characters and the ups and downs of the plot. For example, in a story about treasure hunting, the protagonist would first get clues about the treasure hunt, and then encounter various difficulties and obstacles in the process of treasure hunting (such as interference from competitors, traps, etc.), and the relationship between the characters would change accordingly.
- Using a variety of plot development techniques, such as foreshadowing (burying some seemingly unimportant details in the early stages of the story, but later becoming a key factor in promoting the development of the plot, such as the mysterious symbol that the protagonist saw before setting off for the treasure hunt, and later discovering that this symbol was related to the secret of the treasure), and taking care of (echoing the plot before and after, such as the mention of the protagonist's father's disappearance being related to the treasure, and later gradually revealing the truth of his father's disappearance during the treasure hunt).
- Ending:
- It was an unexpected and reasonable ending. For example, everyone thought that the protagonist would live a rich life after finding the treasure, but in the end, the protagonist chose to donate the treasure to charity because he understood that there were more important things than wealth in the process of treasure hunting.
- There was a certain amount of room for thought. For example, after the protagonist experienced a series of things, he stood by the sea and looked into the distance. The story ended there and the readers imagined the future of the protagonist.
- characterization
- Appearance description. There was a long scar on his face that extended from the corner of his eye to his chin. This scar made him look a little fierce.
- Action descriptions. It could reflect the character's personality, such as "He clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palm, but he suppressed his anger and turned around to leave", showing the character's restraint.
- Language description. For example, a forthright big man might say,"Brother, today's matter is settled. I trust you." A scholar might say,"Please take care when you go."
- A psychological description. She dug deep into the character's inner world, such as,"She looked at his back as he left, feeling mixed feelings. She was a little reluctant to part with him, but she was also happy that he could finally pursue his dream."

** 3. Language expression **
1. It was simple and clear. It avoided long and complicated sentences so that readers could easily understand the story, such as "He ran fast like a gust of wind", which simply and directly conveyed the state of the character.
2. A vivid image. He used figurative, personification, exaggeration, and other rhetorical techniques, such as "the moonlight sprinkled on the earth like a layer of silver gauze", to make the description more picturesque.
3. It was rhythmic. He walked into the forest. In the forest, darkness enveloped everything. The trees were like monsters baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. He was terrified, but he plucked up his courage and kept going."Short sentences increased the tension, while long sentences were used for detailed description.
