When i was preparing for the college entrance examination, the most painful subject was the Chinese. The Chinese examination consists of word, grammar, reading and writing, with scores of 90 for word, grammar and reading, and 60 for writing. Obviously, you would gain a high score of the Chinese if you're good at writing. However, I'm not good at writing.
My teachers told me that, from the point view of those Chinese teachers, a good article means an attractive title, a simple and attractive starting paragraph (ie. introduction) and a summary ending part correlated to the beginning.
It's just 10-years later, from the point view of mine, the above method is really bad. Firstly, we must keep in mind that writing is very important for everyone when you are going to work. Secondly, writing needs much reading, independent thought and practice.
写文章是表达自己思想的过程，最重要的部分应该是对主旨做分析的部分，而不是提出问题和总结问题的部分。回想高中应试教育环境的作文思路，那真是糟糕透了。往往我们每一位高中生都能把握命题大意，并能想出一个很好的题目，也能写出精彩的开端，但是欠缺对主旨的阐释，或者对主旨的阐释大多是照本宣科，缺少独立思考。也许很多学生听从了老师的建议，也获得了很高的分数。但是，看看我们身边所发生的事情，看看那每日新闻，标题总是过分夸大，内容牵强附会，分析又很片面，实在不值一读。
文章的精髓是需要经过独立思考得出来的，精髓之处就是在于对故事情节的细致入微的藐视和分析，而我们应试教育下的文章，总是显得有骨架，没肉体，干瘪。
高考之前，我缺少广泛的阅读，没时间阅读，也没金钱购买书籍，也没有可以供借阅的书籍，甚至没有一位老师曾经给过我们推荐书单。学校附近的书店，陈列着的清一色高考辅导资料，多么悲哀。
广泛的阅读和独立思考是推陈出新的基础，我觉得对于高中生，如果没有广泛阅读的机会，何不让他们保持独立思考。八股科举考试已经给过我们中华民族 深刻的教训，我们处在伟大复兴的道路上，又岂能将独立思考 、独立创新扼杀。
