After reading so many books, why can't you write well?

A young friend asked me a very interesting question. He said: "People often say that if you want to write a good composition, you must read more books. However, why can't I write well after reading a lot of books? " He is telling the truth. This classmate reads a lot and can be regarded as the "champion" in the class. However, it is strange that his composition has just been written, which is not only simple in content, but also full of language problems.

It stands to reason that people who read more books should write well. An ancient scholar made an analogy: reading is like melting copper, which takes a lot of effort, while writing is like casting, which doesn't take much effort. As long as copper is melted into copper liquid and poured into touch, it will be cast into objects. So he said "study hard and relax your composition", which means that people who have worked hard in reading can easily make progress in their composition.

However, some young friends have read a lot of books, but their compositions are not good. Is it because reading and writing rules don't work for them? Of course not. The point is that they can't read normally. There is no communication channel between reading and writing. In this case, it is not surprising.

From the analysis, students who read a lot but write poorly have three problems.

First, reading does not pay attention to reading "broken" and does not work hard on digestion and understanding.

Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote poems, and one of his important experiences was "reading thousands of books". Please pay attention to the word "broken", which means to read the book well and digest it. Without the word "broken", just reading thousands of books, I'm afraid Du Fu may not be able to become a poet with gods.

Students who read too much and write poorly just make a mistake without "interrupting" their studies. They are "good at reading, not seeking more understanding". After reading a book and an article, they are full of praise, but you ask him what is good about it and can't say why. Ask a few more why, and it will be even more speechless. If you don't understand the meaning of the text, how can it be absorbed into the composition, which is beneficial to writing?

Pay attention to digestion when reading. When we read a book or an article, we should not only find out what the author wrote, but also think about how the author wrote it. It is necessary to find out not only how the author wrote it, but also why he wrote it this way. In particular, some short and pithy articles should be carefully pondered and analyzed to see how the author begins and ends, what typical materials are selected to highlight the center, and what words are used to express the ideological content.

If you can chew carefully when reading, then you can master the rules of writing, and the good language in the article can be naturally applied to your own composition. In this way, isn't the channel between reading and writing communication?

Second, reading does not pay attention to absorbing language, and does not work hard on reciting.

People who read a lot but are not good at writing generally don't work hard at reciting. Some students feel that there are no words in writing. Where do words come from?

Newborn children can't talk, they can only croak. Later, he listened to his parents and the people around him every day, and he slowly learned to speak. There are two very young children in India, who were taken away by wolves and raised by wolves. Later, he was brought back by the hunter and found that he could only bark like a wolf and could not speak. This shows that people are not born to speak, and language is gradually acquired from a language environment.

This is spoken language, and so is written language for composition. To accumulate written language, we need to learn and absorb it in the language environment. Where can I find this language environment? Books and articles are open to you. However, just looking at it is not enough. You can't be your own language if you can't remember it. This requires familiarity with reading and reciting. The more articles are recited, the more subtle it will be in the standardized language environment, the fewer sick sentences will be, and the dry language will be gradually enriched. Moreover, unconsciously, you will be influenced by the kind of articles you like, and your composition will gradually have its own characteristics. If young friends can grasp the golden age of memory and store one or two hundred good articles in their brains, they will not worry about having nothing to say in their stomachs.

Third, reading does not pay attention to the accumulation of writing materials, and does not try to absorb the nutrition of ideas and knowledge.

Not good at absorbing the nutrition of thoughts and knowledge in the process of reading, which is also an important reason for reading a lot and writing badly. This often happens in compositions. If you have a thorough understanding of one thing, full of emotion, rich knowledge and sufficient materials, you can write a good composition smoothly. On the contrary, you can't write a composition without understanding this thing, feeling, knowledge and material. Even if you are depressed, it will be as light as white water and tasteless. This shows that ideological understanding and knowledge level are of great significance to composition.

Where do human thoughts and knowledge come from? Of course, it mainly comes from real life and from practice. However, the universe is so vast and has such a long history that it is impossible to do everything yourself. If a person's vision is limited to direct experience, and he only knows the world from what he has seen and heard with his own eyes, then his knowledge must be poor, his knowledge must be superficial, his imagination is weak, and his feelings will not be rich. This requires reading, absorbing the nutrition of knowledge and thoughts, and accumulating the raw materials for writing.

Reading a book "Ideal, Sentiment and Spiritual Life" can help you learn the truth of being a man and help you set up the ideal of fighting for capitalism all your life. Reading "Li Zicheng" can help you understand the magnificent peasant uprising and help you set up the historical materialism of the people making history. Reading "100,000 Why" can answer various questions; After reading the encyclopedia of teenagers, you can get rich nutrition like bees collecting honey from flowers; By reading newspapers every day, you can learn about many things happening in the world.

In the process of reading, I broadened my horizons, accumulated knowledge, improved my understanding and cultivated my feelings, and then began to write a composition, which will naturally be an article full of words and feelings.

It takes a complicated process to transform Chinese knowledge gained from reading into proficient writing ability, not overnight. The communication channel between reading and writing is "slow living" and cannot be rushed. As long as we pay attention to digestion, absorption and accumulation in the process of reading more books and lay a solid foundation for "writing", we can reach a state of reading more and writing better.
