The shepherd's child sees this and asks, "What kind of bird is this?" The shepherd says, "This is a bird that has forgotten what it is." The child touches the crow's feathers and says, "It's also very cute!"

The 2006 college entrance examination essay was even more diverse. The National Volume I also abandoned the topic-based essays that had been advocated and implemented in recent years, reverting to the previous form of providing reading materials and allowing candidates to independently determine the theme.
A material-based essay, as the name suggests, only provides materials—neither a ready-made title nor a topic. What to write must be extracted from the materials, making the topic review more challenging and helping to assess students' critical thinking skills. If students lack the ability to analyze and understand the materials, fail to fully grasp the material or accurately identify the main contradiction, but instead focus on trivial details, they may go off-topic. Therefore, analyzing the main contradiction in the materials and extracting a viewpoint is the key to writing. At the same time, material-based essays allow for multiple perspectives, opening the door for candidates to propose various themes from different angles. Material-based essays can effectively distinguish candidates' abilities while also preventing the occurrence of pre-written, copied, or formulaic essays.
