Features: "The Hundred-Angle Bookshelf for Chinese Students in the New Century" may not be deep books, but it is a set of practical books. The editorial committee of "The Bookshelf" and the publisher strive to alleviate the pressure of knowledge consumption in quality education by recommending rich content and affordable prices to you and your parents. (The bookshelf consists of six volumes: Material Library, Picture Reading, Diary, Side Comments and Critical Reviews, Classification Highlights for Middle Grades, and Classification Highlights for Upper Grades, each priced at 10 yuan.) I believe this concise yet focused "Writing Project" is extremely rare among similar reading materials currently available. With this set, all your writing difficulties will be resolved. Do you still need to wander through the vast sea of thousands of writing books in the bookstore, making your parents waste double the money? This book is one of them, titled "Highlights of Excellent Primary School Essays by Category," suitable for students in grades five and six. Learning to write essays should start with writing about people; writing about people should begin with writing about yourself. There are many sources of material when writing about yourself. But you must pay attention to writing about aspects that are deeply felt, outstanding, and unique about yourself. For example: your studies and life, your personality and temperament, your hobbies and ideals, and so on. You do many things every day, and you see and hear many things every day. Therefore, you must have many stories to write. In the actual writing process, pay attention to explaining: How did these events occur? How do you view and handle these events? What feelings did these events give you? To help others "see" your "portrait," you must also inform the readers about your age, appearance, and other details. In short, if a vivid self-portrait of you can be seen in this essay, then such an essay will be considered a success. To write well about "Me," pay attention to mastering the following six key points:
1. Personality should be distinct
Any character has a personality, and so does oneself. Moreover, one is familiar with oneself and easily understands one's temperament and disposition. Personality includes both strengths and weaknesses. An essay should focus on one aspect of personality, avoiding being all-encompassing. Otherwise, the personality will be lost.
2. Examples should be vivid
When writing about yourself, don't just talk in empty terms; learn to use examples to narrate and comment. Examples can be vivid or unvivid. A vivid example refers to things one has done that reflect one's personality. Good deeds, bad deeds, smart actions, or foolish actions are all acceptable. Good deeds and smart actions naturally deserve praise; bad deeds and foolish actions are also worth writing about if there is reflection, a determination to correct them, and action taken.
3. Descriptions should be specific
No matter what examples are used, specific descriptions must be added to make the character "alive." Only simple narration, lacking colorful portrayals, will leave readers with a superficial and unclear impression. Descriptions can be conducted from multiple perspectives: appearance, language, actions, and psychological activities. A self-portrait can only "come alive" on the paper through these "drawings."
