Features: This book provides a detailed interpretation of the methods behind "Happy Writing" from the perspectives of middle and primary school writing instruction and application. It employs the unique "Happy Plus Fast" "Double Fast Writing" teaching methods, utilizing the latest theories from disciplines such as education, educational psychology, creative studies, thinking science, adolescent behaviorology, and writing studies. The primary goal is to shape students' personalities, cultivate their cognitive abilities and creativity, enabling them to enter a writing state autonomously and unconsciously overcome their fear of writing, fostering strong interest and confidence. This book is suitable for middle and primary school students to learn independently, as well as for parents and Chinese language teachers to reference.
From Now On, Fear Not Writing Essays (Comprehensive, Improvement, and Advanced Editions) is a masterpiece that encapsulates the most representative content of "Chu Jin's Happy Writing Teaching Method." With a series of breakthrough writing secrets, it breaks through genres and grade levels, shattering decades of traditional writing teaching methods in China. It emphasizes the development of students' thinking, observation, experience, and reading analysis skills, advocating for the idea that "the true art lies beyond the poem" and "the true art lies outside the classroom."
What sets this writing book apart is its avoidance of rigidly teaching various writing theories. Readers feel as if they are entering Chu Jin's Happy Writing classroom, where both teachers and students shed all constraints, effortlessly and naturally entering a writing state. Students are amazed to discover that writing essays is as easy as running or cycling—something they can learn quickly. Every student can achieve miracles in the classroom. Those who previously feared, disliked, or struggled with writing can, in just 30 minutes during the first and second lessons, quickly produce well-structured essays, unlocking their full potential.
Since its release, From Now On, Fear Not Writing Essays has been reprinted multiple times, gaining widespread popularity among experts, students, parents, and teachers. It has consistently topped the educational book rankings in various bookstores. In early 2003, Chu Jin's signing session at Beijing Book Distribution Building set a historical record for the building, while the accompanying large-scale "From Now On, Fear Not Writing Essays" lecture series created a sensation in Beijing and many other parts of the country. Many parents and teachers have also requested that Chu Jin elaborate on his writing teaching and coaching methods from an adult perspective, further interpreting the secrets of Happy Writing. In response to repeated invitations from the publisher, Chu Jin has finally presented this latest work, revealing for the first time the specific classroom teaching designs and processes of this method, explaining its intricacies in full. We hope it will serve as a timely rain for parents guiding their children in writing, as well as for school and private tutoring teachers.
Let us work together to transform the current state of writing instruction in China, so that all teachers no longer fear teaching essays, and all students no longer fear writing essays. This book is suitable for reference and use by middle and primary school parents and teachers, as well as for upper elementary and middle school students learning independently.
