Features: Writing can reflect students' language abilities, and writing in an exam setting requires even more advanced skills than regular writing. Besides the general requirements for essays, exam writing also demands good psychological qualities, quick reaction abilities, and rich imaginative skills. Exam essays reflect the level of regular writing practice, but the quality of essays does not necessarily improve with more training. Currently, middle school students' writing still faces an entry-level issue—how to write well, and many students lack confidence. Therefore, the targeted nature of writing training should be further strengthened, so that students know how to approach an essay topic and how to write a good one after receiving it. There are various methods for essay training, and learning from others is also a way to improve writing skills. We can follow the following procedure for training: First, do a past college entrance exam essay question, then look at the essays in the collection to see how others approached the same topic and how the reviewers commented. Next, summarize the differences between your own writing and the excellent essays in terms of ideas, structure, and other aspects, identify the limitations in your thinking, and rewrite the essay after finding improvement methods. Through this training, students can independently perceive the methods of writing, enhance their writing skills and confidence, and thus achieve good results in exams.
