Chapter 20 Eighteen, don't

The Academic Affairs Office sent a note: This semester is coming to an end. According to the school calendar, we pray that the courses of each graduating class will be taught within this week, and the courses of non-graduating classes will be taught within the next week. Please take care of us! Mr. Yang's reaction was that he was taken aback, as if a person who spent money without calculation was suddenly notified by the bank that he had insufficient funds. It turned out that this semester was over again.And his semester ended earlier than others because he taught the senior class.For him, it's not just that another semester has passed, the class of students he is most familiar with has no next semester.

Graduation comes with ease and hecticness. Everyone has their own feelings, and everyone has their own plans.As for Mr. Yang, besides his routine work, he planned to use the last hour to deliver a speech to the students.He did so as scheduled, and the content of that speech is worth remembering here. one Fellow students: Today we have our last lesson.Our last lesson was very exciting and happy, not as heavy as Dude's last lesson.You are going to graduate and go to higher education. This is a very happy thing. Relatives and friends will say to you when they meet, congratulations! After you graduate, you will all leave this school. This school has become your history and your memory.You will return to the old place in the future, and you will no longer be students here but guests here.At that time you will ask yourself: What has this school done for me?What am I getting here?

That's exactly what I'm asking myself.I am asking myself: what have I given you?What have I done for you? Graduation makes you let go of the past and face the future. The future is unknown, and you may feel confused.When I was young, I often had this kind of anxiety in my heart.Recently, I often heard someone sing a song. The meaning of the lyrics is probably that a little girl asks her mother: what kind of person will I be in the future?will i be prettywill i be happyMy mother's answer is: No one knows what will happen in the future, and fate can do whatever it wants.You are the girl in the song now, and I, maybe, can think of myself as the mother in the song.You are asking: what kind of school can I be admitted to in the future?What kind of occupation can be found?What kind of achievements can there be?I want to say: you have to struggle, you have to work hard.Fate, I can't conclude that it doesn't exist, I dare say, it is not benevolent, we can't let it be at the mercy of it, we have to fight it.You must have strength and sufficient conditions to compete with it.I am always worried that your conditions are not enough and your strength is too small.I always feel that we teachers don’t help you much at ordinary times, but now watching you graduate and going out, I feel like a girl who is about to get married before the dowry is ready, like a soldier without equipment Complete, we are about to go on an expedition.

So I have to think about what I have taught you. I taught you a few new characters, memorized a few allusions, learned a bit of human sophistication, and a little bit of composition. Can these help you?I hope so! two When it comes to the method of writing articles, I have a ridiculous experience.When I was very young, I once asked a writer for advice, hoping that he would tell me a little about writing methods.The writer jumped up and asked: Who said there is a way to write?Do you think writing is like a carpenter making a table? At that time, I was terrified, and for a long time, I didn't dare to think about writing methods, as if it was a shameful idea.Later, however, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked this question to another writer I met.He remained silent, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then slowly said: The article was born naturally, I wanted to write it in my heart, I wrote it with a pen in my hand, and finally wrote it on paper, everything came naturally.As for the method, I never thought about it.

Articles, no matter what, are made by people using their brains to direct their hands. In the process of making, there will be no intentional arrangements.Strangely, everyone I met denied this arrangement. Even if the article is natural, the sky is not without methods.There is a way to make it rain. Scientists have discovered this method and can already make rain. I believe it is impossible for a writer to keep a secret about the methods he employs.He has to write articles.He couldn't help but publish his article.After the article was published, his writing skills were exposed before our eyes.For a while, I took pains to study the articles of many writers to find out their methods.I selected some of the methods they used and told you.Maybe all of you, or some of you, are looking for ways to write essays like I did back then.Well, I sort of did something for these people.

These methods seem to be very boring.It seems a sin to break down a beautiful and lively essay into mechanical bits and pieces of rules.It doesn't matter, we try our best to prevent this fraud.Our approach is: the analysis of the article should not be too trivial, and the work of decomposing it should be done in moderation. This is to prevent the work from losing its inspiration.The article is dissected, let us see its structure, and when we can see clearly part by part, the parts are immediately merged and restored in our minds, the article is not killed, but its beauty and vividness More vivid was found.Magicians often say: those who know how to watch, watch the doorway, those who don't know how to watch watch the excitement.Our purpose is to look at the doorway, but we don't forget the lively, analytical skills, enough is enough, and it is also helpful for appreciation.

If our purpose is not only to appreciate, but also to write, then we should practice the methods obtained from the analysis over and over again.It's like knitting, you have to keep spinning; it's like swimming, you have to swim often.At first, there seems to be little fun, and the learner overcomes everything with enthusiasm and perseverance. After this stage, the road ahead will be smooth. three Classmates, I have to tell you that although I have introduced many methods, none of the methods I have introduced is the best method.The methods I have introduced have all been used a thousand times or ten thousand times, and have been used for decades and hundreds of years. Such methods are not very valuable.The most valuable method is your own method. You slowly temper and comprehend it by yourself, and let it grow slowly from your heart.Your method should not be exactly the same as others, but it is impossible to be completely different from others.Your method is generally similar to other people's methods, with only a little difference. With this little difference, the articles you write have their own characteristics.This little difference is what matters most, and it is individual achievement on a common basis.Without personal achievements, you can't really write articles.How can an author acquire the special know-how of the Zhuocheng family?No one can tell.Many people try to explain, but they are always unclear. What they say is not a method, but a feeling.That kind of explanation is only suitable for those who feel the same to confirm each other.We have to think that this part cannot be explained by common language in everyday life. As far as this special part is concerned, there is no way to write.

Classmates, we have to explain why a good article can become a good article, and there are still greater difficulties.Works are closely related to personality.The author of a good work has a good character. It is very difficult to clearly explain the relationship between the two. It is customary to say that the author's character is inevitably revealed in the work. If it is humble, the quality of the work will not be high. As the saying goes: A dog can't spit out ivory, which is just a usable metaphor.However, just a metaphor cannot satisfy us. What we are after is the method. What kind of character is good?Can a convention or a set of codes be drawn up?Second, how exactly does good character make a work good?Can you list the equations?Such a problem is considered meaningless by others, because in fact it cannot be done, and even if it can be done, it cannot be done step by step like in a chemical factory to get the expected results.We have a vague belief that the character of the author plays a secret role in the work, and we see no effective way of practicing it.

To sum it up, there are methods for writing, but you can't completely rely on the methods.The method is not omnipotent; nor is it useless at all.The most valuable method is the original one, and the most reliable method is the one that has been used by others and is considered effective.The method belongs to the aspect of knowing and then acting, but writing also has the aspect of knowing and acting.In this way, you can probably know what kind of contribution I have made to you. In the afternoon, Wu Qiang came to visit Teacher Yang in the dormitory.Teacher Yang was leaning on the rattan chair, feeling very tired. Even after drinking two cups of strong tea, he couldn't lift his spirits.He didn't say much to Wu Qiang, and Wu Qiang was not good at talking, so the two sat silently facing each other.

Mr. Yang's mind has always been on Wu Qiang. He has a relationship with his classmates in essay writing, which was all caused by Wu Qiang by accident.If Wu Qiang hadn't fought with his classmates, he might not have emphasized reasoning so much.If he didn't have the thought of pity Wu Qiang at the beginning, he might not pay so much attention to the teaching of essay writing. During the teaching period, Mr. Yang was always pleasant and attentive.When the teaching was over, he immediately felt a sudden fatigue, which was the fatigue born of not believing that hard work can bear fruit.Every time, when the work came to an end, he felt this way.

Teaching, outsiders think it is an authoritative job, surrounded by students like the Big Dipper every day.However, once the students leave after graduation, few people still remember you. Ten years later, if there is still one student who remembers you, that would be great. This person may be Wu Qiang.Mr. Yang regained his energy slightly.
