Features: The New Curriculum Standard Promotion Version marks the beginning where teachers have materials for lessons, parents have assistance for tutoring, and students have methods for improvement! A diary is a kaleidoscope that can store flawless childhood innocence, freeze joyful childhood fun, and reflect colorful childhood hearts. Walking through it, you don’t need to worry about perfection—just speak and express sincerely without restraint, and your pen will surely be filled with vitality. A diary is also a whetstone that not only cultivates the habit of observing life carefully and thinking and writing diligently but also hones the noble quality of perseverance in doing things. Especially the latter will benefit you throughout your life.
Just like writing essays, keeping a diary relies on rich life experience and abundant language reserves. However, as Mr. Ye Shengtao, the renowned educator, once said, “Writing an essay is about thinking.” The key to keeping a diary also lies in thinking. The features of this series stem from this very point.
How can we improve thinking during the writing process? The book does not list too many theories but introduces various methods of planning and writing through ninety excellent compositions with rich content and diverse styles. The sample essays are organized around a semester of students’ learning lives, closely aligning with the writing requirements of their grade level, and connecting everyday moments into a series of splendid scenes. Each sample essay includes carefully designed questions to help you clarify the direction and steps of your thinking. Most questions are followed by multiple answers to broaden your perspective and open up writing ideas.
If you are a teacher, this will be a brand-new and effective training resource; if you are a parent, this will be a serious and responsible teaching assistant; and if you are a student eager to quickly improve your writing skills, this will be a shortcut to success. “It’s hard to start, but once you begin,” with this set of Diary Writing from the Start, everything will become simple.
