As the saying goes: half of the essay is good. A unique title can make people's eyes brighten, give people a sense of freshness from the beginning, and give people a strong desire to read further. If you want to write your own composition well, it is really necessary to choose a good title.
In recent years, high school entrance examination compositions have always provided a paragraph of material to raise a certain topic, allowing candidates to write their own composition based on the material. Therefore, how to prepare an outstanding title will make the marking teacher fall in love at first sight. seems very important. Judging from the actual situation of the exam, candidates generally have the following problems when preparing titles:
1. The title does not match the text;
2. It is too broad and inappropriate;
3. Cliché.
Therefore, we need to be able to write expressive and attractive titles.
When drafting a topic, you must first start from the specific content and genre of the article. The meaning and style of the topic must be closely related to the text. It is necessary to pay attention to the conciseness, prominence, and eye-catchingness of the title, but also to have an original style, and strive to make the title clear, vivid, and profound.
Secondly, the titles of articles generally appear in the form of words or phrases. Except for news articles whose titles are summaries of news content, the titles of other literary works are generally words or phrases rather than sentences. talk. Therefore, it is important for everyone to consider how to write questions in the form of phrases uniquely. To achieve this goal, you can start from the following aspects when writing questions:
Methods to highlight
1. Rhetoric Method
Cleverly using common rhetorical techniques such as metaphor, duality, truth, and loopback, and combining the content of the article with special processing to compile a title, you can achieve novel and implicit unique effects. Such as:
1. Metaphors: "Jealousy, the Double-edged Sword of Life" on page 192, "Dissatisfaction is the Upward Wheel" on page 154, "Luck is the Dividend of Sweat", etc. are all good titles that use metaphors.
2． Duality: Using a neat dual sentence pattern as a title also gives people a sense of simplicity and clarity.
"Go forward, look back" page 68, "Regulate yourself, the latitude and longitude of the world" page 111, "Beyond what is outside, what is inside" page 77, "Look at the situation with a smile, smile at the situation" "Wind and Cloud" page 114.
3. True: "Self-Help, Receive Help, Help Others" page 202.
4. Rewind: Page 35 of "No Small Thing".
5． Hyperbole:
The title of the article "The World Is a Small Home" uses exaggeration to highlight the purpose of the article. It is believed that memory transplantation can promote empathy and spiritual communication, and then "the world will merge into one "The whole" is refreshing and makes people eager to read it.
The article "I Smell the Sunshine" is unique in its exaggerated approach to the topic.
In addition to the common rhetorical topics mentioned above, there are also imitative words (such as "Why the former "corruption" succeeds"), homophonic puns ("Be brave to do what is right and be brave to do what is right"), irony (" You must learn to "be lazy" when teaching Chinese), etc., which are all clever ideas for formulating the topic.
2. Contrast type
Objective things themselves have contradictory aspects such as beauty and ugliness, good and bad, new and old, good and evil, etc. They are opposite and complementary. Therefore, we can select a set of corresponding relationships to prepare a title and start a discussion. For example:
Page 34 of "Yuan·Qu", page 35 of "Gain and Loss", page 35 of "Willing to Give Up", page 35 of "A Brief Introduction to "Qu" and "Straight", page 35 of "Misfortunes often accumulate in Hu Wei" page 110, "The Great Ordinary" page 147, "Mediocrity and Success" page 138, "Life and Death" page 40, "Pain and Happiness" page 66, "Appearance and Innerness" page 35, "Hope and Despair" "Page 119 and so on all use the method of comparison to avoid the bias of "talking about one point but not as good as the rest" and are very attractive.
3. Quotation
Quotation is to introduce idioms, famous quotes, poems, songs, book titles, etc. into the title, or slightly modify it, which can achieve the effect of finding new ideas and surprising success.
For example:
Idiom: "Well-deserved" page 32,
Famous saying: "Take a step back and the sky will be brighter" page 30, "Aim high" page 117,
Poetry: "Think twice before "chasing"" page, "The sea embraces all rivers, tolerance is great" page 222,
Song: "Making friends makes me happy and makes me worry"
Book title: "Pain and Joy"
4. Interrogative forms
Interrogative forms include hypothetical questions and rhetorical questions. For example:
"What is happiness" page 142, "Is sincerity absolute?" "Page 101;
"What is dignity" page 104, "Is humility worth admiring? "Page 193;
"Crow, where are you? 》 attracts readers with eye-catching questions and sounds the alarm to people to protect the ecological environment.
5. The appeal style
The appeal style is to extract a theme or point of view based on the analysis of materials, and use it as a title, striving to hit "the" in one question. For argumentative essays, it can also be called an opinion style. . For example:
According to the materials, "We must keep making progress" on page 139, "Show yourself out" on page 107, "Be kind to life" on page 144, "Change your perspective", "Don't focus on the shortcomings of others" Etc., these titles are concise, clear and powerful, which makes people understand at a glance and makes them happy.
"Dad, Give Me a Little More Love" highly praises the father's noble qualities. The call in the text echoes the call in the title many times, and the deep affection between father and daughter comes to life on the page.
The article "Please don't embarrass me" uses a round-the-clock appeal, expressing the voice of "I sincerely ask you to let me find the answer by myself and let me grow up once, okay?"
6. Doing the opposite (composition with reverse intention)
"Persistence may not necessarily win" page 72, "Sometimes, protection is also a kind of harm" page 179, " "Success is also the mother of failure" page 56, "The dissatisfied are often happy" page 155, "Taking a step back is dignity" page 104, "Silence is definitely not golden" page 90.
7. Use special symbols
to enhance the visual effect of the proposition and arouse the examiners' strong desire to explore the content, thus creating a certain charm. For example:
"Cooperation = ***win" page 179, ""Utopia" ≠ the best life" page 151, "Eastern Culture vs. Western Culture" page 59,
Conclusion:
Sometimes, a good title not only catches the reader's attention, but also reflects the author's literary skills. Therefore, an excellent author must not lack in title skills. Of course, excellent "kung fu" is inseparable from a solid foundation of skills, which can be said to be accumulated but not achieved!
