1. Why is it advocated to write about what is real? Students often feel "nothing to write about," which leads to the prevalence of fictional, empty, and cliché language in their essays. Enriching one's spiritual life will bring concrete life experiences; learning to think independently will develop personal insights. With personal insights, feelings, and views, writing becomes "something to write about."
2. Write about one's own life experiences. Pay attention to one's unique life experiences and express a variety of emotions, making the essay's themes richer.
3. Write about one's sensory perceptions. Choose to describe the shape, color, weight, texture, and dynamic qualities of things, making the essay more vivid and concrete.
4. Write about real emotions. Students have rich emotions, including love for life, love for the country, and love for teachers and mentors, as well as finer feelings like disappointment, melancholy, excitement, and pride. Expressing these emotions makes the essay more genuine. Specifying the object of the emotions allows for fuller expression.
5. Write a focused essay. Treat writing an essay as a persuasive act, focusing solely on one purpose, making it easier to write concisely.
6. Learn to think independently. Learn to measure things with different standards. Compare, including parallel and contrasting comparisons. Pay attention to connecting personal experiences with real-life situations. Ask "why" and seek deeper understanding.
