Features: Since elementary school, we have been writing essays. Some feel as if they are facing a major challenge every time, while others enjoy it. How to overcome the difficulties of writing is a concern for all students. In fact, there are various methods and approaches to writing good essays. Everyone can choose based on their own situation and interests, but one path is certain to start with reading and imitation. Imitation is the foundation of innovation. Broad reading, imitating famous works, and also looking at the various excellent essays written by peers can help us learn from others' strengths and improve our own weaknesses. Moreover, the latter often provides more targeted and constructive feedback. This book is divided into two volumes: High School and Junior High. Each volume is organized into three parts based on the genres of narrative essays, argumentative essays, and expository essays. Each part is further divided into several thematic sections, making the content clear, the perspectives fresh, and easy to find. In the High School volume, we have also specially included the top-scoring essays from the national college entrance exams (Gaokao) between 1995 and 2004. This allows students preparing for the Gaokao to review the trends in essay topics over the years and understand the criteria for evaluating excellent essays, providing encouragement for those who are studying hard. We hope and believe that all students who read these two books will recognize our efforts and find the greatest help in them.
