"Lao She on Writing and Reading"
Don't be afraid to write
There are many people who are new to writing who are distressed: they can't write!
My opinion is: step up your studies and don't be bothered.
How to learn? I see, the first step is to write what you have in your heart, and write as much as you want.
Never dare to write, you will never touch the door. Don't dare to go into the water, do you still learn to swim? If you start your own pen, then read a book, or read a work in a journal, you will understand some of the methods of writing. Only if you have written your own pen will you have a deeper understanding of other people's works and learn some tricks. Well, let's write again, or what to write, how much to write. After writing one or half of it, I will read other people's works again, and I will get greater benefits.
Don't use words indiscriminately, and you can't make words indiscriminately
Speech is a very natural thing, it comes from ancient times, it did not start yesterday, how can we change our speech at will? This is not only a matter of words, but also a problem of thoughtfulness, when considerate of a certain situation in human feelings, use a certain word, the deeper the thoughtfulness, the hotter the love of using words. The more you understand human feelings, the better you can write a good article.
Every word must be thought with all its might, and if you cannot think of a second word, you must use it properly to make people understand. Adjectives are difficult to use, and it is best to use them sparingly, and if they are used inappropriately, they will make the whole article worse.
The first composition should be clear
Clarity of words is the result of clear thinking, and this is not an easy task.
Juvenile essay, more like to use words. As everyone knows, the use of other people's words, just stealing some dead words, is not enough to express their own thoughts, the result is that the donkey's lips are not right for the horse's mouth. If you want to say anything, don't make a big turn first; once you turn the text, something will go wrong. Clarifying the words and then seeking the better is the way to be safe.
Don't make sentences too long
Young people like to make long sentences, claiming that the tone is smooth, so they keep pulling. In fact, this is the result of unclear thinking, a sentence can be pulled by the elders, and he does not know where to stop. A good article, on the other hand, is to say that one sentence is one sentence; one sentence is clear, and then the second sentence is said. Only by trying to make each sentence stand clearly can there be progress.
Write sentence by sentence, write it into a paragraph, read it again, listen to it yourself, and stay; listening to it is not a taste, modifying. Composition should be about one's own words, and one must teach others to understand them, and one should not allow the whole book to talk about dreams.
