12 lessons for you to write a high-level article

How to write an article, this topic is difficult to talk about. Many of the ways of the article are understandable and difficult to describe. Moreover, the people who write articles have their own preferences and paths, "articles are good for their own families."

Because I am a fellow traveler, sharing weal and woe, I will talk about some personal sporadic experiences, a total of twelve topics, different lengths, some opinions, are sentimental, can only be called rambling.

1, how to calculate the article is good

How to calculate a good article is also a matter of opinion, and it is not easy to say clearly in one or two sentences. A thinks it's good, B may disagree; B thinks it's good, A may disagree.

This has to do with personal appreciation preferences. Different genres of articles have different requirements. Meeting notices or work reports cannot be written as lyrical essays and academic papers.

The ancients lectured on doctrine, evidence, and lexicography. Righteousness is to be reasonable and have insights; evidence is to be accurate in materials;

Lexicon is to have a good form of expression, which involves many aspects of the text, such as language, chapter style, etc., which is usually said to be good writing.

It can be said that the requirements of a good article are the unity of correct and healthy content and the most perfect form of expression as possible, and both are indispensable.

Therefore, the article should not only have the pursuit of content, but also the pursuit of form.

2, writing is a skill and an art

The article should be good in the first place, there is no doubt about it. Form is also important, and good content needs to have good forms of expression. Essay writing is a skill, but also an art, with a relatively independent meaning.

What can be circulated for a long time is an article that combines good content with perfect expression.

Not only should literary works pay attention to writing skills, but also theoretical articles, investigation and research reports, conference documents and speeches, and articles of various genres should also pay attention to writing skills.

Pay attention to the lack of exquisiteness, the skill of the high, the effect is very different.

Let me give you an example of a new big change. Computers and the Internet are the great inventions of the 20th century that have had a profound impact on human production and lifestyle.

In terms of writing alone, it provides unimaginable convenience in collecting information, sorting out materials, and improving efficiency, which can free up more time for people to investigate and research, which is very beneficial to writing articles.

At the same time, it also provides convenience for some lazy people, such as not analyzing the situation and studying problems, downloading the entire paragraph of material, patchwork, perfunctory writing, which can easily cause duplication and similarity.

3. Make a big fuss

To make a big fuss is to say that the article is selected. The topic is very important, choose a good topic, the article is half successful. Beginner writers often write big topics that are not easy to succeed in because they involve a wide range of content and are not easy to grasp.

A better approach is to make a fuss. Making a big fuss is not to grasp the trivial skin and infinitely exaggerate the outline, but to set the scope of the topic to a smaller extent. In doing so, the analysis is easy to be meticulous and in-depth.

There are also successes in making big things, which requires a wide range of knowledge and a high ability to summarize, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

The writer of the article should know more than what is written into the article, so that it will be easy to write and more than enough.

If you don't know so much, you will feel hard and even give people the impression of being hoarse and exhausted.

I have always advocated that beginner writers, especially young people engaged in research, should make a big fuss. This helps to find the focus point, conduct in-depth research on a specific problem, and explain the truth thoroughly.

Without a profound understanding of the issues discussed, without a grasp of the overall situation, writing big topics is easy to fall into emptiness, big and inappropriate, what you say others know, others don't know you don't say.

4. Thick branches and large leaves

Of course, it is by no means to say that writing an article can be careless, and the article can have oversights and loopholes; but that we must pay attention to the large outline and context.

We must first clarify the structure and layout of the article and establish the big framework of the article. There are different styles of articles, whether it is clear or loose, whether it is bold or elegant, the framework must stand firmly in order to stand.

Of course, this kind of framework conception is not necessarily in the form of words, but can also be just a belly draft. Only when the framework is set can the outline be outlined, the organization of views and materials will have a center, and the writing will not be "out of the ordinary".

If the framework cannot stand, the choice of views and materials will be unfounded, there will be no logic and organization, and even sesame seeds and watermelons will be lost.

The process of article framework design is also the process of preliminary analysis, induction and rationalization of ideas.

The theme of the article is analyzed from several aspects, what is the content of each aspect, according to the internal logical relationship, the thick lines are arranged and stopped, and the large outline and context of the article are also there;

It is generally clear where the weak links need to be remedied and strengthened.

The framework initially determined can only be thick lines, and modifications and partial changes in the writing process are inevitable, but careful consideration in advance can prevent the whole thing from being pushed back and started again.

Thick branches and large leaves, pay attention to large contours and veins, not without paying attention to details and explaining facts. The facts of the statement should still be clearly explained, and those few words should not be omitted.

5. Novelty

Wengui innovation. Innovation is innovation. After following people's feet, people are in the clouds, and it is impossible to innovate. To engage in research and write articles, it is necessary to seek differences while coexisting, especially in research articles.

If you say the same thing, you can copy and distribute it, so why write it again. There are standard versions of various articles on the Internet, which meet the needs of official sample articles, a program, eight strands of tone, clichés, and it is impossible to have fresh creations.

Novelty is the innovation of the content and form of the article, to have fresh insights, but also to pursue a better way of expression different from others, to form their own style of article.

Even with the same themes, the same themes and genres, we must pursue "new" and "different" in terms of expression and language.

The basis for the novelty is the vivid and lively creation based on real life, and the inheritance of the excellent ideological and cultural heritage of China and foreign countries, rather than saying some shocking and vulgar words without any basis and using one-sided and absolute words to sensationalize the public.

6. In-depth and simple

There are four realms in the article: deep and shallow, deep and deep, shallow and shallow, shallow and deep. Going deep and simple is the highest realm, and it is also the most difficult.

Without a deep understanding of the things discussed, it is impossible to "go deep", and it is impossible to "go deep" without a deep writing foundation.

Show off erudition, pretend to be sophisticated, use language that everyone understands to tell the meaning that everyone knows, become a small circle of people's "self-production and self-sale" or even self-talk, not much use to society, is the taboo of the article.

The articles of the masters are well written, not only because they have unique insights, but also because of their profound writing skills and writing skills, and they can express profound truths in clear and clear language.

Throughout the ages, the good articles that can be circulated are all in-depth and simple, and none of them are pretentious and flexural.

7. Simple and clear

The article should be concise and concise, and it should not be dragged with mud and water. Simple, to understand. Simple and clear, in order to clear the eyebrows.

Don't be bothered. In the past, there was a saying that "ink is like gold", and some commentators even called "Jane" the "end" of the article, that is, the highest standard. Simplicity is the way of the article, can not be "barren fat words", the content is thin and empty words.

The ability to write articles lies in making complex things simple and clear, not in making simple problems complex.

The experience of writing articles is often "short- long - short": there is nothing to write at the beginning, the article cannot be long, and the composition of primary school students is very short;

As the knowledge has grown, the knowledge has increased, and the articles have become longer and longer; if they can grow from long to short, they will mature. The way of the article can be said to be "from simple to complex, from complex to simple".

Jane, not simple and cold, not only flat and straight without twists and turns, not just straightforward and not implicit, not to write the article dry and dry;

Instead, it is to use simple language and accurately express ideas, which can only be achieved at a high level. It is much more difficult to achieve from long to short than from short to long.

It can be said that from short to long is something that most people can do through hard work; and then from long to short, only a few people who have realized the way of the article can do it.

The article is written too long, some because I don't know the gist and don't know what the point is. It's a matter of depth of understanding. The current cliché is also a kind of party eight shares.

Lin Yutang said that the speech should be like a mini skirt, the shorter the better. The same is true of the article. Not long articles are not good, many world famous works are huge productions.

Or according to the needs of the content, if there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. It can be said in other words: the same content should be expressed in the most concise text; the same amount of text should express richer content.

8. Properly cut

There is much to say in the beginning, but only around the theme, to say the most necessary words, to cite the most necessary examples and data.

What to say, what not to say; what to say more, what to say less, we must carefully tailor and make some choices.

Beginner writers often do not understand this truth, always want to write everything they know into an article, beard eyebrows grasped, the result is full of branches, disorganized.

The article should be evenly proportioned, just like the human body fat and thin and well-proportioned to look good. There must be flesh and bones. Only bones have no flesh, that's just an outline of the article. Too much meat is bloated and not good.-

Top-heavy, light-headed, big belly, dry bone racks, all to avoid. The main points of the article should be prominent, the key points should be evenly proportioned, and the key points and non-key points should be appropriately arranged.

Be good at hiding. For example, a problem includes three aspects of the same level, you know more about two of them, on the other hand, you know very little, you can't be one foot deep and one foot shallow, you know it in detail, and if you don't know it clearly, you will pass it in one stroke, which is easy to expose weaknesses.

Instead of this, it is better to talk about them all briefly, to put the same level of problems in roughly the same position, to talk about the same degree of detail.

Another approach can also be taken, that is, to change the topic to a smaller size, and only write about the problems that you know more and understand more deeply.

9. Pinch the head and tail

The beginning and end of the article are important. Start out straight, engaging, and don't bend over backwards. The end should stop abruptly, leaving an aftertaste, and don't draw snakes to add to the foot.

"Punching and punching", straight to the point, is an important way to keep articles short and avoid clichés. Readers don't like the article "Wearing Boots and Hats" because it's cumbersome and has no actual content.

Pinching the head and removing the tail is to "take off the hat and remove the boots" and cut off the burden. Some authors like to say two sets of words at the beginning and end of the article, perhaps to match a certain situation.

But the central document has been made clear, and the readers understand that you don't need to bother with your tongue anymore, and the "dry goods" that are left behind are the ones you need to say.

Sometimes it is blunt to cooperate with the situation, and the effect is even counterproductive, causing readers to misunderstand the intention of the article.

In many cases, it is indeed necessary to affirm certain important political principles in documents or articles, especially in documents and reports of formal meetings, and to express them in the most visible places, in the most accurate and concise language.

After the article or document is written, it is also necessary to carefully examine it, think carefully about it, and see if there are any important omissions and omissions in the major issues of principle.

This thoughtfulness and care is a must. There are not many words, but to say exactly where, to say accurately, to say just right, there is no need to nag and repeatedly say something that does not hurt or itch.

10. Diligent punctuation, multi-segmentation

Short sentences, short paragraphs, articles will appear clean and neat.

Multiple segmentation helps with organization. Paragraphs are too long, different content is entangled in one paragraph, the article will appear dull, and the logic is not easy to be clear.

Punctuation is helpful for reading. The sentence is too long, two lines a comma, several lines a period, it is difficult to read. Lu Xun's articles do not have a number, they are replaced by commas, which are clean and compact, and they are rhythmic to read.

Those who can use short sentences should not use long sentences; those who can be segmented, do not combine a paragraph. Each one is in place, dense and dense, do not crowd together. It's refreshing to read.

If the content of the article is too much, it is not easy to summarize it in a segmented way, and it can be divided into several parts, and run through one, two, three, four, five... Write a number of articles.

This helps to organize complex issues, reduce the number of transitions and save space.

11. Repeated modifications

The article was changed. Even if you can't do a thousand hammers and hammers, it is always indispensable to repeatedly ponder and modify.

After the article is written, it is necessary to read it several times, delete the superfluous words, words and paragraphs, verify the quotations and materials, and add the content that must be added.

Pay special attention to whether there are any hard wounds. The articles of the masters are so old that they do not seem to be carved, but in fact they are often carved without leaving traces, that is, the so-called axe-free chisel marks.

Article revision, including the addition and improvement of content and the deliberation of words and sentences. The most important thing in the use of words and words is to be appropriate and appropriate, not that the more words are full, the higher the evaluation, the better.

Moderation and proportion can accurately express ideas and be convincing.

Article revision to listen to the opinions of others, bystanders clear. When others solicit opinions on the manuscript, I usually make some specific suggestions, which paragraph can be deleted, which point of view can be reconsidered,

Or add a little meaning, add a sentence, usually written on the manuscript. The comments I have made are not necessarily correct, but most of them are more specific and can be used as a reference for authors.

12. There is no law on the text

Since essay writing is a skill or art, it is not a method that can be concocted. It's the difference between science and skill or art.

Writing articles, kung fu is also more in addition to writing skills, that is, the in-depth study, the improvement of the level of ideological understanding, and the insight into world affairs.

In terms of improving essay writing skills alone, the only way to read more and write more is to read more.

To read more articles of famous artists, not one but each, not one genre but all kinds of genres, not only from the content taste but also from the article form taste. The more you read, the more you may gradually understand its mysteries.

The benefits of reading books for writing don't need to be said much. For reading, I have two experiences: one is to read a wide range, not limited to professional fields; the other is to be able to read, think independently, and do not have prejudices.

Some are to be read intensively, and a large number are browsing. For famous works, we are not limited to appreciating their views, but also carefully pondering their ideas and methods.

Write more, write articles of various genres, practice can make skill, the more you write, the more you will be comfortable.

The ability to control words has been improved, and they will be able to express their thoughts more accurately, and there will be no problems that can be thought clearly and cannot be written well.
