天津有一年中考考了一个半命题作文《的回忆》，有位考生便以一片绿叶为线索贯穿全文，通过老师爱绿叶、讲绿叶的故事、赠绿叶书签等事件，歌颂了老师如绿叶似的无私奉献的精神。全文始终扣住绿叶，以叶喻人，使文章格调高雅，耐人寻味。
当然，形式是为内容服务的，组材的方式也是因题而异的，如果为刻意求新而弄巧成拙，那就得不偿失了。

这就是人们常说的详略得当的问题。譬如写一个人，必然要通过几件事写一个人。如果每件事都作具体细致的描述，势必冗长，不仅时间和篇幅不允许，而且也会让读者生厌，如果件件都粗粗略述，那人物又不丰满。我们可采用详写一件，略写一件，再概写几件的方法，这样，就疏密有致相得益彰了。

这时，林子看到其中一老汉一次又一次地起竿，不断地将钓上来的鱼放进鱼篓里；而另一位老汉的鱼篓里却空空的，他一条鱼也没钓到。这位没钓到鱼的老汉有些沉不住气了，他跑到那位钓鱼多的老汉身边，对他说：“老哥，您已钓了这么多的鱼了，而我，从一早到现在连一条鱼也还不曾钓到。咱俩用的鱼食一样多，钓钩下去一样深，可是结果却完全不一样，这到底是怎么回事呢？”
那位钓鱼多的老汉说：“您是问我钓鱼的方法吗？其实也没有什么特别的'方法。只不过我有这样一些：比如说，在我开始放下钓钩时，我心里想的并不是钓鱼这件事，因此，我不急不躁，我的眼睛也很平和而不是四下搜索张望，我的神情也不变，鱼就放松了戒备，忘记了我是钓鱼人，它们在我的钓钩旁游来游去，因此很容易上钩，我也就容易钓到鱼。我看你呀，就不像我这样，而是心里老想着鱼，心情十分急切，眼睛老看着游来游去的鱼，这样你的神情变化太多太明显，鱼看到你这副神态，它们会十分紧张，自然都被吓跑了，那又如何钓得到鱼呢？”
经这么一开导，这位老汉才恍然大悟。于是他按那位老汉说的去做，静下心来，全神贯注。果然不大一会儿工夫，他也接连钓上来好几条鱼。
林子始终在一旁观察。他听到那位老汉的一番话，深有同感地叹道：“他说得好啊！要想实现自己的目标，就一定得认真专注地按规律办事啊！”
两个老汉钓鱼，外部条件一样，可是方法不一样，结果就不一样。所以，无论做什么事，都得排除干扰，专心致志地按规律办事，才能有好的效果。

这里所说的标题指的是小标题。用小标题串联全文，醒目而又别具一格。如有位同学写《生活中的发现》就用了三个小标题：我被感动了、美就在身边、平凡也是美。有的小标题设计还很别致，如有的同学用喜、怒、哀、乐四个字串联全文；有的则用标点符号为题，如？、！、；还有的文章的小标题均由上一段的最后一句话引出，自然而又巧妙。如有篇题为《我的欢乐与烦恼》的作文，第一个小标题欢乐的文学梦用17岁的日子有风也有雨，有欢乐也有烦恼，我仔细品味着引出，而第二个小标题烦恼的情感小屋则由欢乐之余，也常常困扰于引出，读来别有一番情趣。

When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
英语作文诀窍【六】
要使文章前后浑然一体，就得注意上下文的过渡，这是文章组材不可忽视的问题。过渡的方式是多种多样的，有的是一个词，如最、当然、不过等。有的是一个单句；有的则是一个起着承上启下作用的复句，如有位同学在他的《我和书的故事》中先写自己利用课余时间攒钱买书的经历，后写了书对他书本知识的学习也起了很大的作用，中间的过渡句是：阅读大量的课外书，不仅丰富了我的课余生活，使我增长了知识，它对我学习书本中的知识也起了巨大的作用。；还有的是以一个小段来起过渡作用，如有位同学在他的《读父亲》一文中先用一组排比句写父亲在我小的时候对我的关心和教育：当我第一次摔倒时，父亲叫我自己爬起来，我从父亲那里读到做人要坚强；当我不屑一顾于桌上的饭菜时，父亲带我走到卖火柴的小女孩擦火柴的雪夜，让我领略到谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦的真谛。当我第一次背上书包走进学校时，父亲给我讲述了小萝卜头的故事，要我加倍珍惜今天幸福的生活。就这样，在读父亲的过程中，我逐渐长大了。但是，我并不是一直这样顺从父亲的，我也有过对父亲的误解和厌烦。怎样过渡到下一个层次呢？作者设计了这样一个过渡段：
可是，当我认为自己已经长大的时候，自以为已经读懂了父亲这本书后，我对父亲产生了隔膜，我不再认真读透父亲的每一句话。然而，那一次却让我刻骨铭心地明白了我的无知和浅薄。
有了这样一些过渡，文章就上下勾连浑然一体了。
上面我们是从内容的角度谈了组材中要注意的问题，下面我们再从形式的角度谈谈怎样的组合方式更容易获得读者的青睐。
英语作文诀窍【七】
在一般情况下，记叙文总要交代事情的起因、发展、结局。可有的同学却有意略去其中的一个环节，文章反而更精练了。如有位同学写我与爸爸妈妈怄气、发脾气、使性子，终于得到一套新衣的经过。作者开笔就直接插入事情发展过程的叙述：
我一脚踢开了房门，妈妈关心地问：蒂儿，回来了？真是明知故问！我径直走进了自己的房间，倒在床上，大叫：妈妈，衣服买了吗？其实刚进门我就感觉到，衣服一定没有买。
这个开头用一踢字单刀直入，至于爸爸妈妈什么时候在什么情况下承诺买衣给我的则一概略去了。这样一开头就营造了一种逼的氛围，于是逼得妈妈唯唯诺诺，逼得爸爸惭愧不安。当我终于如愿以偿得到了一套新衣服后，才从他人口中得知，衣服是爸爸借钱买来的，我感到了无比歉疚。试想一下，如开头从买衣的起因絮絮道来，那文章能如此一气贯通吗？
开头可省，结尾也同样可省。有位同学在一篇题为《在车夫的影响下》的作文中写他骑车撞倒了一位阿婆，本想一溜了之，这时，他的脑海中闪现出鲁迅笔下车夫的形象。文章结尾写道：雨开始往下洒，我向阿婆走去这个结尾何等简洁！至于如何关心、护理阿婆的事已不是本文的重点。作者在此戛然而止，既突出了影响，又留给了读者想象的空间。
