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.
Like writing essays, keeping a diary relies on rich life experiences and abundant language reserves. However, as Mr. Ye Shengtao, the renowned educator, once said, “Writing an essay is about thinking.” The key to diary writing also lies in thinking. The features of this series stem from this very principle.
How can you improve your 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 students’ learning and daily lives throughout a semester, closely aligning with the writing requirements of their grade level, weaving together a series of brilliant moments from daily life. Each sample essay includes carefully designed questions to help you clarify the direction and steps of your thinking. Most questions are followed by several 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 with this series of ‘Diary Writing from the Beginning,’ everything will become simple.”
