Chapter 56: Testing the Waters

After Su Yinmeng finished these two classes of competition classes, she assigned writing tasks to everyone, and left Xiao Yuan alone.

Obviously, in Su Yinmeng's heart, Xiao Yuan is the most special one.

"Lin Yun, you don't have to complete the writing task I just assigned." Su Yinmeng said.

Xiao Yuan nodded, and didn't want to ask why, her attitude towards writing was quite Buddhist, and if Teacher Su asked her to write, she would write, and if she didn't let her write, she would be happy and relaxed.

However, Xiao Yuan's appearance made Su Yinmeng have a headache, why did this child have such a high writing talent, but he didn't care about it at all?

"Don't you wonder why the teacher did this?" Su Yinmeng said a little unwillingly.

"I don't need to be curious, the teacher will tell me why." Xiao Yuan smiled.

"You kid, you are really the most transparent person I have met over the years of being a teacher, it seems that no matter what you do, you can get straight to the essence, without dragging your feet, and you are free and easy." Su Yinmeng said with emotion.

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything more, she was used to this style of doing things for a long time.

After Su Yinmeng sighed, she directly said the reason why she left Xiao Yuan alone: "It's almost the end of November, and the deadline for this year's New Concept Essay Contest is approaching, you hurry up and write a new article for me, and I will help you submit to test the water, you are now in your first year of high school, and you can only participate in Group B." ”

Xiao Yuan was surprised: "I just took a competition class, and I'm going to officially participate in the competition?" Isn't this given for nothing? ”

Su Yinmeng explained: "The essay contest is different from other competitions, even if you don't receive any training, someone can easily win the prize.

The students I am training now are aiming for next year's [National Primary and Secondary School Innovative Essay Competition] and "Chinese Newspaper Cup", the preliminary rounds of these two competitions have clear themes, and the school will organize them collectively.

But the New Concept Essay Contest is different, and its preliminary audition essays are not limited to any genre or subject matter except poetry.

If you are participating in the first year of high school now, the competitiveness of Group B is the least, and the competitors you face are all participating in the first year of high school or even junior high school, so you have a greater chance of standing out.

In this way, it means that you will be familiar with those audition editors, no matter whether you win the award in the end, when you participate in the Group A competition in the second and third years of high school, you can be more easily favored by the editor from more than 100,000 manuscripts, and finally win the national first prize in one fell swoop, which is very beneficial to the independent enrollment of major universities!

The professors of the Chinese Department of many famous universities are all judges of the New Concept Essay Contest, and Qingda University and Beijing University also recognize the gold content of this essay contest.

The purpose of letting you participate in the competition now is to give you a head start, and other students who choose to participate in the New Concept Essay Contest probably don't know the doorway. ”

After listening to Su Yinmeng's explanation, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but show a look of admiration, and sure enough, Mr. Su had a good set of research on essay competitions.

"So what should I write? I don't feel like there's anything to write about......" Xiao Yuan was a little worried.

Su Yinmeng was happy, she only said: "You can write whatever you want, remember, don't write an essay to win an award, it is a really good essay, just like your previous perfect score essay, are you writing it to get a full score?" ”

After finishing speaking, Su Yinmeng drifted away, in fact, she had studied a lot of "new concept composition" routines, but she didn't want to teach Xiao Yuan, which would affect the other party's aura.

The so-called "new conceptual composition" routines, which were once decadent and decadent, and flowery sentences that were not easy to say and made people misty, are of course outdated now.

In recent years, it has become more popular to write full of anger, such as many students like to write about drinking by the river in the middle of the night, small town teenagers fighting, and high school students committing crimes, which seems to be more down-to-earth and realistic.

Specifically, a good sentence must be stuffed with a "horse-stepping" in order to show the power of literature.

For example, "I'm in love with her", it's boring and tasteless.

"I love her, I'm really in love with her", isn't it very emotional?

If you organize it again, "I really fell in love with her, when I loved her I was like a dog, but she loved him, and when she loved him, she was also like a dog, in the world of love, we are all lowly animals, only the one who learns not to love is a human being." ”

I wonder if this can resonate with a little reader who is caught in crazy and desperate love?

Anyway, Su Yinmeng didn't think so, but she thought that such a sentence was what those editors and judges liked!

"Sprout" magazine will publish the excellent preliminary and semi-final essays of the new concept essay every year, and the semi-final essay is okay, after all, it is a live question, which is not suitable for everyone to let go of themselves, but the article of the preliminary competition, Su Yinmeng saw many essays similar to showing the so-called literary power through "stepping on a horse".

In fact, I can't blame those students, after all, this new concept essay has been running for so many years, and now it is the ever-changing information age, as if no matter what is written, it seems that it is not novel enough.

Unlike more than ten years ago, writing a campus early love story full of regrets seems to be very rebellious and novel.

Write about high school puppy love now? It is estimated that it can only be regarded as "late love", which is outdated and old-fashioned!

Xiao Yuan pondered Su Yinmeng's words carefully, but she suddenly became a little enlightened.

When she wrote "Facing Difficulties" in the examination room, she really didn't think about getting a high score, but she felt that writing that kind of routine argumentative essay was very boring, and the experience of the original owner Lin Yun was very writing, so she used it as material.

Now that Su Yinmeng asked her to write a new concept composition, then she will find what the original owner Lin Yun has experienced in her memory, or what she has experienced in her own memory, and if she uses these real experiences as materials to write, she doesn't seem to have to worry about what she writes.

Regardless of the subject matter, she can even write her previous idea of "scientific cultivation of immortals" into a rigorous paper, and readers will only think that she is talking nonsense, but they don't know that she is very serious about studying this possibility, and she is interested in mathematics, not because it is particularly useful......

Xiao Yuan suddenly found that she seemed to be able to write a lot, because she had indeed lived longer, even if most of the time she was cultivating in her own cave, but there would always be a time to go out to practice and find heavenly treasures.

Before she entered the immortal gate, she had also crawled at the bottom, and she was not a natural high-ranking immortal.

In the end, she took into account the fact that realistic themes were more likely to be favored by the judges, and she gave up the idea of writing a paper on cultivating immortals for the time being.
