Chapter 13 11. Tutoring

one The competition for higher education is becoming more and more fierce. Every parent hopes that his children can beat others in the examination room and enter the ideal school.The examination committee jointly formed by various schools, in order to convince the candidates who have lost their reputation, puts all their effort into writing the questions; and the students who are preparing to take the examination, in order to break through this strong fortress, work hard every day to enrich their academic ability.There is competition between students and between students and exam boards.Under this kind of sharp and ruthless competition, formal school education is not enough to cope with it, and cram schools emerge in due course.The teaching of the remedial class is specially designed for the entrance examination. If the entrance examination is a war, the tutoring is the staff assignment before the war.

One day, Mr. Zhu, the director of Tianzhu cram school, came to visit Mr. Yang. After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Zhu explained the purpose of his visit: Brother Yang!I would like to invite you to our cram school and take lessons. What do you want me to teach? I want to create a new course called Composition Research, which you will be in charge of. Do you like it? How to study the composition?I never thought about it!Teacher Yang said. Brother Yang!The so-called composition research is the method of writing.Director Zhu hurriedly explained. Why not call it an article practice? I think the four-character style of composition research is relatively large.

Well, said Mr Yang.Let's do some research first: what is the teaching method of this course? Today's students are not afraid of writing lyric essays, they are most afraid of writing essays.Young people are full of emotions, and they can write a few sentences no matter what; if they want to have insights in their essays, it will be difficult for them.Exams now prefer essay questions, and our cram school really wants to strengthen teaching in this area. Composition research is actually essay writing.Dude, do you see any merit in this idea? Mr. Yang said: It is very valuable to me, and I can earn an hourly fee.

The two of them laughed, and it was a deal. The next day, when he went to the cram school, Mr. Yang saw that the classroom was full of students, and he knew that there were many people who needed to study the composition.He walked to the podium and made an opening statement: Director Zhu told me that all of you are good at writing lyric essays, and you are not good at writing argumentative essays.Originally, if a person likes lyrical essays, he should go for them. If a person doesn't like essays, he can leave them alone.But you don’t have this freedom. You have to enter a higher school and take an exam. The exam committee often asks essay questions, and you have to study essays before the exam.

If you want to write a lyric essay, you must first be able to sigh, and if you want to write an argumentative essay, you must first be able to speak up.A person who can sigh is very cute. When he sighs softly there, you think he is a little weak and gentle. If he argues with you there, you say that the bus operation in Taipei City is good, but he will say it is bad; You say that Chinese films are not making progress, but he insists that they have made great progress. You think this person is really awkward.Lyricists go to see the sunset, the azaleas, and the eyebrows of their girlfriends. Those who write essays don’t look at these things, but to see if what you are doing is right, what he is doing is right, and what Mencius is saying is right.You put down your favorite lyrical essays and learn the essays you don't like, which probably reduces your cuteness.This is your adventure.Under today's situation, you may feel that it is better to be a person who wins in the examination room but not necessarily lovable than a person who fails in the examination room but is lovable.

How should we write essays?What is the difference between essays and lyric essays?My answer is: the sentence in the essay is an illegal sentence. Speaking of this, Mr. Yang saw some smiling faces in the back row. Why do these faces look familiar?Isn’t that right? Those are Jin Shanbao, Liu Baocheng, Zhao Hua, Lu Zhunian, and Wu Qiang.It was the first time he saw Wu Qiang's smile.It turned out that these people also came to participate in tutoring! two When lecturing in the cram school, Mr. Yang listed the writing method of the essay as the following clauses: 1. Use illegal sentences to form the backbone.

Second, find two or more pieces of evidence for this right and wrong. 3. If possible, prepare a short story. 4. If possible, prepare the words of one or two authorities. 5. Prepare some verses, if necessary. 6. If necessary, be prepared to use descriptions and metaphors. 7. Occasionally use a rhetorical tone. 8. Occasionally use an exclamation tone. Mr. Yang's first example is the perfect man in the past and the present.First build the backbone: In ancient times, some people had perfect personalities, which are worthy of emulation for future generations.There are also some people in modern times who have perfect personalities and are worthy of emulation by future generations.Imitating those who have perfect personalities can reduce the shortcomings of our personalities and achieve a perfect state.

Find two more pieces of evidence. 1. Wang Yifang's mother in the Tang Dynasty followed the example of Wang Ling's mother in the Han Dynasty and became a virtuous mother. 2. Yan Zhenqing imitated his elder brother Yan Gaoqing and became a loyal minister. Prepare a short story: A short story about the Anti-Japanese War in the Western Tide. Prepare to cite authority: Cultivate the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and perfect people in the past and present. Prepare to quote the verse: He is the head of General Yan, and he is blooded by Ji Shi. The tone of the question: 1. Can a mediocre life satisfy us?

2. If Wen Tianxiang only admired selfish people, would he still be able to do his best when the country is in crisis? Exclamation tone: 1. How tragic! Two, it was extremely painful! The following is an article written based on this information: Many people in history had perfect personalities, which moved and envied future generations, and made future generations aspire to follow them. There is a short story in West Tide, which is very interesting.In the early days of China's war against Japan, great sacrifices were made, but the morale of the people was very high.Mr. Jiang Menglin saw a child fighting a big tree with half a bamboo pole. The child attacked the tree from all sides, and finally lay on the ground and said: I am going to die!The Japanese beat me to death!look!The heroic spirit of the soldiers in front strongly infected the people behind.

No matter in ancient or modern times, a perfect personality can influence others so powerfully. Whoever is affected by this will have the hope of doing the same great and noble deeds, so that his own personality can also approach the perfect state.Wang Yifang of the Tang Dynasty wanted to impeach a treacherous official, but he was afraid that the treacherous minister would retaliate against him and cause his mother to suffer.Knowing what his son was thinking, his mother said generously: In the past, Wang Ling's mother wanted Wang Ling to concentrate on serving the Han family, and wanted his son to commit suicide without worrying about his mother's safety forever.Now, my son can be compared to Wang Ling, and my mother can also be compared to Wang Ling's mother!She encouraged Wang Yifang to be bold and filial to the nation.Wang Ling's mother was a virtuous mother, and Wang Yifang's mother followed her example and became a virtuous mother.In the Tang Dynasty, Li Xilie rebelled and forced Yan Zhenqing to surrender.Yan Zhenqing thought of her elder brother Yan Gaoqing. When Yan Gaoqing was captured by An Lushan, not only refused to surrender, but also called An Lushan a traitor, and would rather be killed by An Lushan.Yan Zhenqing learned from his elder brother, who was equally unyielding and equally willing to sacrifice.Like his elder brother, he also became a famous official who was loyal, brave and patriotic.

It is easy to be a mediocre person, but can a mediocre life satisfy us?We need a kind of strength to break away from the ordinary state and become a person with light, heat and contribution.Ancient and modern perfect people can give us this kind of spiritual power.Just imagine that Wang Yifang's mother would rather disregard the safety of the whole family, her heart is really painful!All thanks to Wang Ling's mother supporting her.Yan Zhenqing would rather die than surrender, how tragic!Yan Gaoqing can increase his courage.Wen Tianxiang is our great role model, but in Wen Tianxiang's mind, he also has his own role model, that is, the long series of allusions in Zhengqi Song for being the head of General Yan and getting blood for Ji Shi.If Wen Tianxiang only admired selfish people, would he still be able to stand up for himself when the country is in crisis?We should also find some perfect personalities as role models, and we also need that kind of spiritual power to attract us to work hard.Once we really get this power, we can reduce the shortcomings of our personality, and even create a perfect personality, which will move future generations, envy and imitate them. Cultivate the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and perfect people in the past and present.Let's use this famous saying to encourage ourselves! three This composition study requires no lecture notes and no homework.Before class, the teacher studies the composition topics first, makes a list of the most likely topics that the admissions committee will ask, tells students how to write this topic, how to write that topic, and provides students with a lot of information.These materials are sometimes applicable to another composition topic. For example, Yan Zhenqing’s story can be used in the ancient and modern perfect people, but it is not impossible to change the topic to talk about imitation; the short stories in Xichao can be written in the ancient and modern perfect people. However, it is not impossible to write about the importance of national spirit education.After class, students study their notes, memorize these materials, and think about whether they are useful for other topics.Teacher Yang talked about composition research and collected information according to his eight articles, but when he went to class for the second time, he said to the students: The so-called eight clauses are not indispensable.An essay does not necessarily have to have a tone of rhetorical questions or exclamations, it does not have to use descriptions or metaphors, it does not have to quote poems, and it does not have to intersperse stories.These are optional.Generally speaking, your essay must have an ideological skeleton, and you must find two or three pieces of evidence. These two items are the most important, and the remaining items can be canceled as a last resort. In order to let the students know how to use the method of death, he specially selected another article about punctuality: The swallows have gone, and there is a time to come again; the peach blossoms have faded, and there is a time to bloom again; but, you are smart, please tell me, why the time is gone and never returns? This passage is an exclamation from a literary and art writer in the May Fourth era in an essay.Yes, the time will not come back, not the original swallows, the peach blossoms will bloom again, not the peach blossoms of last year, because the time will not come back. Since the time will never return, we must cherish the time, and since the time will never return, we must grasp the time.Westerners say it well: time is life. In order to cherish the time and grasp the time, we should all abide by the time. If we cannot abide by the time, a lot of time will be wasted in vain.To waste time is to waste life. There are many examples of wasting time and life due to failure to keep time, for example, in meetings.In a democratic society, everything needs to be negotiated and coordinated, and there are many opportunities for meetings; however, most meetings cannot start and end according to the time.Meeting at seven o'clock, and all at eight o'clock is a popular quip.It was time for the meeting, and in the meeting room, three or four kittens were eating melon seeds to pass the time.The people attending the meeting have to come one after another.If the meeting cannot start on time, it certainly cannot end on time.The meeting is scheduled to start at seven and end at nine, most likely at eight and end at ten.Before the meeting, we lost an hour, and after the meeting, we lost another hour. Some people have never had a meeting, but they often attend friends' weddings.Wedding ceremonies don't always start on time.Let's recall: It is written on the invitation card to observe the ceremony at five o'clock, is there anyone who salutes at five o'clock?The invitation says to be seated at 6 o'clock. Is there anyone who is supposed to be seated at 6 o'clock?It seems not.It is rare to come across such a punctual bride and groom.The guests know that you won't start on time, so they don't come on time, and the person hosting the wedding knows that you won't come on time, let alone start on time.This reciprocal causation.It usually takes you three hours to attend a wedding. Within these three hours, it takes only 20 minutes to watch the ceremony, and only one hour to eat. Together, it takes less than one and a half hours, and the rest of the time is more than half. It's a pity that they all got mixed up in the noisy atmosphere. Of course, those who discern happy events are very busy, so it is inevitable that some places are not thoughtful.But what about the concert?Those who hold a concert just need to come out from the backstage with their musical instruments. The procedure is very simple, so why can't the concert start on time?Are there any concerts that start on time?Very little.There is a magazine that has made statistics in a certain period of time. Every time the music is not on time, some are three minutes and five minutes late, and some are twenty and thirty minutes late. Fortunately, people who listen to music are always not on time. Time, no matter how late you start, there are still people entering the venue after the opening. These latecomers, kicking and clattering, come and go looking for seats, and those who teach listening to music are a disappointment.Some people advocate: the concert starts on time, and once the performance starts, the gate will be closed, and latecomers will not be allowed to enter.This method is very good, but no one dares to implement it. There is another thing that is not punctual, that is, dating between men and women.If a gentleman invites a lady to drink tea at eight o'clock in the evening, can he see the lady at eight o'clock?cannot.He was lucky to see the lady at half past eight.He might have to wait until nine o'clock.From eight o'clock to nine o'clock, this hour is wasted.The gentleman who looked forward to seeing through the autumn water couldn't sit or stand, and his heart was in a mess.He was neatly dressed, with a sharp suit, a white shirt, bright leather shoes, and a bright tie, looking around by himself.We see such people everywhere.Next to the station, at the gate of the park, in the teahouse, everywhere.When you meet a guy like that, you can know, poor thing, that there's a girl killing him all the time. time is life.Time cannot be wasted.Don't waste your own time casually, and don't waste other people's time casually.Cherish time, you can start with punctuality.Therefore, we are here to appeal: observe the time!Comply with the time!The third is to observe the time!If everyone can observe time, this society will be more lovely.If everyone observes the time, we can have a lot of time, which is equivalent to eight days in a week.Of course, it doesn’t matter to those who think the days are too long. If we feel that the time is precious, if we feel that the time is a pity, then we really have to consider this issue. Mr. Yang said: This talk about punctuality, without stories or poems, is still a decent essay. Mr. Yang also said: This article quoted statistics from a magazine, and also quoted the sentence that time is life, which is regarded as an authority.This article described the meeting room as cold and desolate, saying that three or four kittens were eating melon seeds; that those waiting for their girlfriends were neatly dressed, with stiff suits, white shirts, bright leather shoes, and dark ties. Vibrant, it's a description.This article used a rhetorical tone: Is there anyone who is ready to salute at five o'clock?Why can't the concert start on time?Can he see the lady at eight o'clock?This article also used the tone of exclamation: Poor, there is a girl who is killing his time.These are not the most important. What is the most important thing?Mr. Yang said: This talk about punctuality has a skeleton, that is: punctuality can grasp time, and not punctuality will waste time.We must grasp the time and not waste it, so we should be punctual.To support this skeleton, it cites four examples: meetings, weddings, concerts, dating.These four things are not easy to keep time, and are the most likely to waste time. These things are the main content of this talk about punctuality. Poems, metaphors, rhetorical questions, and exclamations are just to increase the attractiveness of the text to readers. For this article, Mr. Yang has some advice.He said: The examples cited in this article on punctuality are all negative, and they prove the disadvantages of not being punctual.Since being unpunctual has disadvantages, punctuality is of course beneficial. This is the function of counter-evidence.Refutational evidence is sometimes unreliable. There are only negative examples and no positive examples. It is not a good article.However, when you take the exam in the future, you may have bad luck in the exam, and you will not even be able to think of half of the evidence when you encounter an unsatisfactory question.Of course, you can't hand in a blank paper, so you have to think about the opposite and use negative examples to save the emergency.This talk is punctual, and I quote a lyrical essay at the beginning. In the future, when you write essays in the examination room, you must never quote other people's lyrical essays at the beginning, or even use an exclamation sentence at the beginning.It's okay to put it at the end.Entrance exams are held in summer, and the graders are sweating profusely. They have to read hundreds of papers a day, and they dare not turn on the electric fans for fear of blowing up the papers. They have to close the doors and windows.This is the working environment of a marker.Imagine for a person working in this environment, when he opens a composition paper, he first sees a lyric essay, he may think that you have written the essay title as a lyric essay, and he does not want to read any more; he may misunderstand that you are copying Zhu Ziqing’s essay to make up the number , don't look any further.This kind of misunderstanding is really a terrible misunderstanding. We must help the examiners avoid this kind of misunderstanding. Four The students in the cram school are always paying attention to the exam questions in various schools. When they are not admitted to these schools, they first share the happiness and tension of the students in them.On this day, there was a school composition competition, and the topic was helping others as the foundation of happiness.The tutorial class told the students about this topic, and the students discussed how to write this topic.Jin Shanbao and the others came to Teacher Yang's residence, wanting to hear the teacher's opinion. Teacher Yang said: Hearing this topic, I immediately thought of Jesus' words: It is more blessed to give than to receive. What about the evidence?We don't know what evidence there is in history. It is not necessary to look for historical evidence, the nature of this topic is different.Some topics must use historical evidence, such as the prosperity of a country through adversity.For some topics, it is especially necessary to cite authority as evidence, such as is smoking harmful to health?There is another kind of topic, the author can find examples from his own life experience, talking about punctuality, and helping others is the root of happiness.Do you have experience helping others? We are so young, how can we help others! No, you helped others at a younger age.Haven't you ever been a boy scout?Boy scouts should do good deeds every day. There is a saying in China that doing good is the happiest.Aren't you happy when you help the old lady cross the road?A cyclist, unaware that something he put on the back of his bike falls on the floor, you remind him: Hey!Something is missing!Isn't it fun to watch him pick it up?When you go to the zoo, you like to give the monkey a banana to eat. When you look at the flowers, you like to pour a little water into the flowerbed. This is because you want to help the monkey and the flower! We feel happy helping others, but do others also feel happy helping others? So look for everyone's common experience as an example.The so-called common experience of everyone is the idiom saying that people have the same heart and the same reason.In your essay, you can't tell people that stinky tofu is the best thing to eat.Eating stinky tofu is your personal hobby.What can be testified in the essay is preferably the common humanity, not personal preference. Teacher, do you have a story? I think of one.It is said that when God sends every soul to the world to be a human being, he first asks about his own wishes.Once, God asked a soul: would you like to ask for something from others, or would you like to be asked for something from you?The soul thought to himself: It's better to want other people's things!He chose this one.As a result, he became a very petty and selfish person in the world. Everyone didn't like him, and he didn't even have a single friend. He lived very lonely and lonely.Another soul, he said to God that he was willing to be asked for things from him, he became a warm-hearted and generous person, he often cared about other people's affairs, he had many friends, many people cared about him, he had a strong sense of humanity Live inside, live happily.
