To start writing an essay is not an easy task, not only for a schoolboy, but even for an experienced writer. In this article, we will talk about a few elementary methods of overcoming the fear of white leaf. Applying them in practice, you will certainly be convinced that writing essays is not a heavy school duty, but an exciting creative adventure. The main thing is to learn how to write essays.
- Adjust . Before you start writing an essay, do the concentration exercise. Relax, think about something pleasant. For example, about the warm, not hot autumn sunshine. Do you feel how it tickles you with its rays? - Well! Now it's time to get ready. Sit down straight and imagine that you have a round orange on your head. Feel his weight on his head. See, you had to straighten up even more to keep this round thing so it would not roll. Here you are.
- Identify the questions that you will answer in the essay . Now it's time to evaluate what you already know by the given topic, and what remains to be learned. Suppose, your theme "Creativity N.V. Gogol ยป- what do you already know about the author? That he lived in the 19th century, and the collection Mirgorod is in your grandfather's bookcase? Already not a little. But not enough. Make a list of questions that will help to fully reveal the topic. For example: "Where was Gogol born and lived?", "In what year was his first collection published?", "What was his first novel called?", "What work glorified him?", "What are the peculiarities of Gogol's language?".
- Find the answers . If you have reached this point, it means that the lion's share of your work has already been done. Now it remains to arm ourselves with an encyclopedia or enter the Internet and consistently answer the questions posed.
- Express your own opinion . The answers to questions were received and accurately written out, but how to give the text such a sound that your teacher must praise you for your work? - Express your own attitude to what you write about! "But if I have no relation to the fact that Gogol was born in 1809?" - you say. In this case, compare the available information with what you already know or can find out. For example, you can report that in the same year, when the Russian writer N.V. Gogol on another continent, in America, was born American writer Edgar Alan Poe. And they both became famous for their phantasmagoria, although they were never acquainted with each other. So you not only demonstrate your own erudition, but also show that you are able to compare and compare things and phenomena, the closeness of which is not obvious.
- Work on expressions . Finally, you talked about what you knew before writing a composition, and what you learned while writing it, once again do the concentration exercise and check if there are any extra words and jargon in your text, for example, did you write " I do not know how Gogol managed to work out his individual creative style ... "or" Gigol's fabled story "Viy" ... ". If you want to express your admiration for the author's work, use the classical expressions: "beautiful", "amazing in strength", "talented", "masterfully written". For a teacher, your ability to use the literary language is more important than your sincerity. Try to match the text of the commentators to the collection, which, as we have already found out, is on your grandfather's shelf, but do not overdo it. Do not be rash to be a scientist.
- Write an introduction and a conclusion to the composition . Since these are the most important parts of your text, in no case
rewrite phrases from the source, for example, from an article about Gogol from "our" collection. You decided what Gogol is interesting for you? - Think up your "own" beginning - formulate the task of your composition. It is with this task that the conclusion in the composition must be combined. For example, if you say in the beginning that Gogol was the most talented writer of his time, in conclusion, note that you think that the talent of this writer confirms that his works are still interesting to read to your peers. Combining the introduction and conclusion of the composition, you will give the text completeness.
