Features: After reading this book, it's as if a top teacher is telling you in person how to observe and think, how to analyze the topic and develop the idea, how to structure the composition, how to choose words and phrases, how to revise and polish, how to be innovative and original, especially—where is the secret to exam essays. This book is divided into three parts: Guidance, Reference, and Training. The Guidance section consists of thematic articles written based on my daily writing guidance and commentary in teaching. The Reference section includes three parts: first, appreciating short articles from newspapers and magazines; second, commenting on excellent essays; third, correcting typical flawed essays. The second part of the Reference section selects excellent essays that cover various genres, with a focus on argumentative essays. The third part of the Reference section includes 10 typical flawed essays of different types and natures. The Training section compiles essay topics I have designed over the years, including assigned essays, material-based essays, and topic-based essays.
