Given material composition

Material composition generally points out that the questioner only gives some words or pictures, and asks the candidates to write their own propositions according to the contents of the given words or pictures. Material composition is to give materials without giving topics, and the determination of topics depends entirely on the examinee's own understanding and grasp of the given materials. From the perspective of proposition, propositional composition is actually his proposition, while material composition is self-proposition, which is the main difference between them.

Interpretation of test sites

Material composition is a form of writing according to given materials and requirements. The characteristic of material composition is that candidates are required to conceive and conceive according to the materials, and the center reflected by the materials is the source of the center of the article, so they can't write without the center revealed by the materials. Therefore, the material composition is also called "destiny composition", that is, the questioner has provided the examinee with the "basic center (meaning)" of the composition. Generally speaking, material composition consists of two parts: material and demand. Materials are divided into narrative materials (stories, fables, etc.). ), quotation information, picture information. Material composition is more conducive to the development of candidates' writing level than propositional composition and semi-propositional composition. Candidates can choose their own writing style through their own understanding and interpretation of the materials.

In the storm, I hurt the wrong person.

Some people say that people begin to overdraw their mothers' lives as soon as they are born. But I was born to get back at my father. I will never forget his divorce from his mother. At the trial, I finally chose my father, and I want to make him sad for life. Not long after, my father got married again, which deepened my hatred for him.

Although my stepmother always tries to please me, I have never smiled at him once. My father is often angry with me. At this time, my heart will always ignite a terrible joy. A few years later, they had a child of their own, but he was just a sick seedling and had to be sent to the hospital every three days. I often wake up in the middle of the night to see my father driving my brother to the hospital and my stepmother crying in front of the door. I became a numb audience without any worries.

That day, I received a notice from a key middle school, which was my greatest wish except for revenge for my father for more than ten years. When I got home, I threw the notice on the table. "I was admitted to a key middle school. I'm going to report tomorrow, and I'll pay 3 thousand first! " "My father took the notice and raised his eyes a little, but immediately regained his weight. I know that in recent years, my brother's illness has almost spent all his savings at home. But I won't give up anyway, I can only watch my father get up slowly and pace back and forth. Finally, he made up his mind to go to his stepmother and said, "Xiao Wei's illness needs to be cured and Mencius' book needs to be read." "There are only three thousand left at home. The doctor said that Xiao Wei could have an operation at any moment. This money can't be used "Stepmother cried." But we can't miss the future! "Speaking of which, my father rushed out of the house. Looking at all this, I feel a little sad.

The next day, the hospital came to inform us that my brother might not be able to come, so we should be mentally prepared. At that moment, I was shocked for the first time. That day, I took a look at my brother with a ashamed heart. It was the first and last look after leaving.

The night before I went to a key middle school, my father called me into his room and said earnestly, "MengMeng, in fact, I am not your biological father. At first, he abandoned your mother and daughter. I married your mother to protect her reputation. We agreed not to divorce until you grew up. I didn't expect you to choose to follow me ... "

It's like a bolt from the blue. How can I believe that my father, who has been taking revenge, is actually my greatest benefactor, a person who has nothing to do with me but has raised me for more than ten years in vain ... Looking at my aging father in front of me, my hatred has become vulnerable. I threw myself into my father's arms and cried loudly, "Dad, I'm sorry!" " My father patted me and said, "A father will never blame his children!" " "

It turns out that I have lived in vain for more than ten years. Only today can I truly find myself.

The masterpiece discusses victory: "There is warmth and care here; Our life and surroundings are full of sunshine, rain and dew, family friendship, cooperation and competition. " This article makes readers more deeply aware of this. The author narrates a family life story around the material center, putting the emotional conflict of two generations in contradiction, and effectively revealing the theme to be expressed. It is difficult to write the true father's love and affection directly, but the author of this paper conveys this kind of emotional contradiction with comparative and misunderstood brushwork, which is particularly profound and makes people feel worried. Bai Juyi said that "people who touch people's hearts don't care about their feelings first", so it can be said that the greatest advantage of this paper is to talk about their true feelings and tell them their true feelings.

Love with "pain"

candidates

I am a child in the countryside. As long as I can remember, my father told me many times that the countryside is bitter and the children in the countryside should be strong. For more than ten years, I have been growing up in a "painful" love.

When I graduated from primary school, the god of luck came to me. Because of my excellent grades, I was admitted to a private middle school in the county for free.

I remember on the first day of school, my father rode a bicycle that accompanied him for more than 20 years and carried bedding for me. I trotted behind with my big bag on my back. Along the way, the father and the daughter didn't say a word. I know, dad is still in a hurry to go to work. He said that ten dollars would be deducted for absenteeism for half a day.

There are as many people coming to the new school as going to the market: cars, vans and motorcycles are parked at the school gate. Dad leaned his broken bike against a small tree, unlocked it and walked into the crowd with his bedroll. I followed my father closely for fear of getting separated from him. I'm surrounded by adults. I'm small and I had a hard time squeezing in. Dad helped me find the dormitory and chose a bed by the window. Dad says it's sunny here, not wet, and warm in winter. As for other comforts, I didn't say a word. I put down my bedroll and turned away. "Dad," I shouted, and Dad turned around. "What's the matter?" I looked at my father silently. Father gave a wry smile, turned around and left again. I held back my tears and made my own bed. Watching other parents help their children tidy their bedding and things, my tears came down, but I wiped them off at once. Dad said that children in rural areas need to be strong.

From now on, every school holiday, I will go home by myself, sometimes by car, sometimes on foot. When I got home, I made my own fire to cook and clean the room, and then I waited for my parents and my brother to come back while reading. This is a habit I have developed for many years and has never changed.

Time flies, and it is three years in a blink of an eye. The mid-term exam is coming today, and I got up at five in the morning. My mother didn't come back from work in the factory last night, and my father went to work early. I cooked my own meal and went to the examination room by car after dinner. Just as I was about to enter the examination room, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in my field of vision. Unexpectedly, it was dad, riding a broken bike. Suddenly, my tears swirled in my eyes. "Dad, why are you here? You haven't done more than ten dollars a day! " "No matter how busy the farm work is, my daughter will go to the exam alone. I don't trust. Get in there. The exam will be held soon. Dad is waiting for you outside. "

Writing here, I can't help crying. Dad, don't worry, I will do well in the exam, because you are waiting for me outside, and you have entrusted that sentence to me for many years. ...

The author of this paper grasps the center revealed by the materials: parents' seemingly "cruel" love for their children's healthy growth. Only by truly understanding this kind of love can we write this composition well, otherwise it will be easy to flow above the general parental care. Throughout the full text, there are three main highlights of this paper: First, the center is properly expressed with an appropriate title, which is vivid, powerful and speculative. Secondly, the author transforms fatherly love into the understanding of cultivating his own strength, making the theme concrete and reasonable, which is conducive to the writing of the article. Thirdly, the touching story is expressed in narrative language full of true feelings, getting rid of too gorgeous and untrue rhetoric and revealing a natural sincerity.

Writing strategy

Before the topic composition appeared, the material composition was a form of composition examination that often appeared in the senior high school entrance examination papers. In topic composition, the material is only the background of the topic, and the relationship between the material and the article is alienated. The material in the material composition is an important carrier of the composition point of view and the basis of writing content selection and conception. Candidates must extract an idea from the material to write, and if they leave the material, they will digress. Articles and materials are closely related. Therefore, when writing materials, we must adopt effective writing strategies according to its "material importance" characteristics, so as to better write high-quality exam compositions. Specifically, we should pay special attention to the following three aspects.

First, read the materials and master them comprehensively.

Reading materials is an important prerequisite for material composition writing. If you don't look at the materials, you will inevitably blur your composition, resulting in digression or digression. When reading materials, we must fully grasp them and never take them out of context. Instead, we should grasp the key points, understand the content, clarify the relationship, and understand the center, so as to lay a good foundation for the topic examination.

To fully grasp and understand the material, we can't start from a certain part, but only grasp the fragments, otherwise it will be easy to digress. However, it is very helpful to grasp the key words or sentences in the material and deeply understand their essential meanings.

For example, in 2004, the material of Harbin senior high school entrance examination composition was: a sculptor finished a very beautiful sculpture, and someone asked him, "How did you carve this perfect sculpture?" The sculptor replied, "The statue was there, and I just removed its redundant edges and corners." In fact, in life, you are a statue, as long as you remove the edges and corners outside, you can get your perfect self! And that excellent sculptor is yourself.

On the whole, it is an analogy between "sculpture" and "personal growth" The key word is "edges and corners" We should pay attention to some redundant things that can be removed in the process of growing up, such as behavior, habits, language, clothing and so on. If we focus on how to "get the perfect self", we miss the material center, which is obviously beside the point.

Second, strive for accuracy and novelty.

Material composition is also a "life composition", and the quality of conception directly affects the profoundness and innovation of composition. Therefore, when writing materials, we should try our best to be accurate and innovative on the basis of reading materials.

The so-called accuracy means grasping the content of the material, bearing in mind that the theme must come from the material and must not be separated from the material, otherwise it is easy to write a failed work.

The so-called innovation means trying to break through the mindset and go beyond the usual thinking of ordinary people. We should say what people have never said, strive to achieve "no one has me, no one has me" and work hard on the word "new". Only in this way can the articles written hopefully glow with creative brilliance.

Third, the use of materials is appropriate and ingenious.

In terms of material composition, the use of materials in the article is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Generally speaking, there are two forms of quoting materials, namely direct quotation and indirect quotation. According to different styles, the materials used are also different. Generally speaking, when writing an argumentative essay, it is best to quote materials at the beginning in order to better put forward your own views; Other styles can't be completely divorced from the material, so we should quote the material directly or indirectly in the right place, otherwise it will easily lead to the feeling of material alienation.

Tiger, listen. The farmer went back to the village and called the villagers, locked the tiger in an iron cage and said to the tiger, "This is wisdom".

Bailey, the king of world football, is very happy to have his son. A reporter congratulated him: "Look how strong he is. He will be a great sports star like you in the future. " Bailey replied without thinking: "He may become an excellent athlete, but he will never achieve what I do, because he is rich now and lacks the innate sense of competition, while I was poor when I was young."

3. Professor Sanhaoweike of Cornell University in the United States did an experiment, putting several bees in a flat bottle with the bottom of the bottle facing the light; Bees kept hitting the wall towards the light, and finally stopped on the bright side, dying; Then put some flies in the bottle, and within a few minutes, all the flies flew out. The reason is that they tried many methods-up, down, facing the light, and backlighting. If one of them couldn't get through, they changed their direction immediately. Although many times it is inevitable to hit a wall, they will eventually fly to the bottleneck and blurt it out.
