Chapter: Basic Writing Techniques for Middle School Exam Composition
What is the purpose of writing middle school exam compositions? To achieve high scores! Who grades them? The reviewers! How can you get high scores from the reviewers? Write a unique and excellent composition! To write a unique and excellent composition, you need to choose the best expression form that suits you. In recent years, middle school exam composition topics have mostly been topic-based, with the requirement that "poetry excepted, any genre is acceptable" for most topic-based compositions. You can choose a genre form that suits your strengths. It is worth noting that traditional genres like narrative essays and argumentative essays no longer meet the requirements of innovative composition writing. Some more unique writing forms have become the focus of many candidates, such as diaries, letters, fables, fairy tales, speeches, and plays, which frequently appear in middle school exam compositions.
Facing the complex and diverse genres, every candidate should consider which expression form is most suitable for them. To choose the best expression form for yourself, consider the following points:
1. Choose a genre form that you are relatively proficient in. There are many genres, and students may not be proficient in all of them. Do not force yourself to write unfamiliar genres just for the sake of innovation. For example, if you have little knowledge of the drama genre, do not insist on writing a play. Innovation may fail, and you may suffer the consequences.
2. Consider multiple forms, compare them, and select the best one. After reviewing the topic and selecting materials, consider the form from different angles. For example, if you are writing a narrative essay, think about how you would write it as a diary, a letter, or a chapter-by-chapter structure. Consider how you would write it with subheadings. Then, choose the form that you are most confident in and can use with ease. However, you must remember that no matter how innovative your genre is, some basic writing rules cannot be changed, such as the opening, closing, logic, transitions, and smooth transitions.
It is like building a beautiful house. The exterior can be designed freely, but the key steps—laying the foundation, installing windows, putting up beams, and roofing—are the same. Your composition should not only surprise the teacher with its novelty but also show that it has a coherent structure, logical flow, and smooth transitions. Therefore, you must master the general principles and techniques of writing. Make your composition show maturity, sophistication, sincerity, grandeur, standardization, and uniqueness. Once you master this skill, no matter what kind of composition you encounter, you will be able to write it with ease and confidence, never feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the topic.
