Chapter 108: New Concept Essay Contest

Syllable!

A magazine was photographed on Tang Mingyao's workbook, interrupting his train of thought.

"What?"

He was stunned.

After seeing the two words on the cover, I couldn't help but show a sudden look.

Then, I fell into a deeper level of doubt.

He looked up, looked at the petite girl sitting in front of him, and asked, "Tang Xiaoyuan, what are you doing with a copy of "Sprout" magazine for me?" ”

Tang Xiaoyuan is the girl who played the hanging bottle in the high school entrance examination room, her height is only 146cm, she is sixteen years old this year, listen to herself, she has not grown much since she went to junior high school, and now this height has been maintained for two years.

It is conceivable that in the long life after that, she should not grow again.

Petite man with a baby face......

In two years, this is a soft and cute legal Lori.

It's been more than a month since school started, Tang Mingyao and her sat in the front and back rows, and everyone didn't have any communication barriers, occasionally borrowing a book, borrowing a pen, and asking a question, and they got acquainted with each other when they came and went.

During this period of contact, Tang Mingyao's impression of her, in addition to the picture of playing the hanging bottle during the high school entrance examination, and the height of the short cute, has recently added a little more:

This is a female petty bourgeoisie.

I love to watch Qiong Yao dramas and tear-jerking romance novels, I like the sadness of looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and I am always moved by the stories of those disease-free moaning and sad spring and autumn on "Bosom Friend" and "Story Club".

After she was moved, she had to pull the people around her to accompany her to move, and twice Tang Mingyao was speechless.

Objectively speaking, he is a middle-aged uncle, can he be moved by watching these things?

I just want to complain.

Of course, he can't hit other people's hobbies too much, and usually puts on a cold face and uses "indifferent .jpg" to reject the enthusiasm of little girls.

However, Tang Xiaoyuan didn't care much about his refusal, and he always came to harass him once a day and a half.

Now, for example, she opens the magazine on the table, points to one of the articles and says, "I am so moved to read this story......

Tang Mingyao: "Can I not watch it?" I'm not interested. ”

"Please, look at it, it's really beautiful, I'm crying."

Tang Mingyao was helpless: "Let me put the book here first, and then read it slowly after I finish my homework." ”

"Okay, you must remember to watch it."

Tang Mingyao nodded with a wooden face, stuffed the book into the desk, and continued to work on the questions.

The moment he closed the desk, he saw the words "Tang Xiaoyuan" written on the cover of the magazine, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

To be honest, he thinks that this name is quite beautiful to pronounce, but in fact, it was taken out without thinking, and the person who took the name did not study the meaning of the word at all, I don't know if it was because he was uneducated, or he didn't care about the meaning.

Because the mandarin duck is the mandarin duck, the mandarin duck is the male bird, the duck is the female bird, and the name of a little girl is the little mandarin duck, which is strange.

It's better to call it a little kite.

I complained silently in my heart, and then wrote my homework, and I didn't complete all today's tasks until the end of the first evening self-study.

Young people have good kidneys, so they don't have to go to the toilet after every class, Tang Mingyao rested in his position for two minutes, remembered Tang Xiaoyuan's book, and took it out and flipped it.

The story she said, as expected, was an article in adolescence that was worried about giving new words, and after looking at the beginning, I knew what was written later, and Tang Mingyao decisively skipped it.

When I was bored, I flipped through the magazine from beginning to end.

Flipping to the last few pages, a blank form caught his eye.

"New Concept Essay Contest Preliminary Contest Application Form ......"

This thing......

It's the second half of 1999, and the New Concept Essay Contest has been held at the beginning of the year, and there has been a sensation in the country, Han Er, and now this essay contest has attracted a lot of people's attention.

Tang Mingyao looked at this registration form and was a little moved.

In the first half of the year, he won a first prize in the provincial essay competition, added five points to the high school entrance examination, and helped him win the top prize in the high school entrance examination. If I go to the New Concept Essay Contest this time and try to win an award, will it also have additional benefits for reading? For example, college special recruitment or something.

And it's very compelling to say it, and you can tell people when you go out in the future, I and Han Er and Guo Xiaosi are both new concepts......

After flipping through the requirements of the entries, there are only the most basic no propositions, no restrictions on genres, no publication in public publications, no plagiarism and ghostwriting, and the number of words is less than 5,000 words......

This means that there are no requirements, and you can write whatever you want.

After looking at the concept of the competition and other instructions for participation, Tang Mingyao put down the book and felt that this thing was indeed a good thing, so it was better to give it a try.

In addition to his normal reading and daily writing tasks, he only has a long serial on "Martial Arts Story" in his hand, and he submits 50,000 words a month, which is very relaxed, and he uses reading to enrich himself a lot of free time.

Actually, I've been itching for a long time and want to write something else.

This essay contest is exactly what he wants.

Just, what should I write about?

Thinking about it, I can't think of a particularly favorite theme for a while.

When he returned home in the evening, Tang Mingyao took out all his writing task books for the past year and looked through them one by one, looking for inspiration and writing materials.

Soon, an article appeared in front of his eyes.

Last summer, I read "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and wrote a biography of Du Fu, which was very strong and intense at that time, and it took a few days to write the first draft, and later made slight revisions, but unfortunately I was not very satisfied in the end, so I put it on hold.

At this point, he suddenly turned it over, and he regained a strong interest in the subject.

Why don't you just write this?

Although I heard that the entries for the New Concept Essay Contest are mainly adolescent essays, narratives, novels, etc., since there is no restriction on the theme and genre, then this can be written.

As soon as he said it, Tang Mingyao immediately turned out the original manuscript of this article and read through it first.

Well, it's kind of unbearable.

Because when he wrote it last year, Du Fu's deeds were seen from "Three Hundred Tang Poems", and he had not been verified in detail and comprehensively, there were many omissions, and there were several hard injuries.

And after a year of reading and insisting on writing, his vision and writing level have also improved a lot, at this time, looking back at what he wrote before, there is only one feeling: Damn, what kind of garbage I wrote at the beginning!

"This article is not good, if you use this theme to participate in the competition, you must tear it down and rewrite it!"

"Just describing a person's life, even if it is well detailed and clearly expresses the theme, it doesn't seem to be very new, it will fall into mediocrity, and you must find a down-to-earth entry point......"

After thinking about it all night, I went to the school library the next day, looked up the information books, looked through the detailed information of Du Fu's life, and constantly enriched the writing materials.

After continuous thinking and summarization, Tang Mingyao finally determined the theme of his writing:

Write love!

Du Fu's love!

This angle, which has rarely been touched upon by predecessors, ensures that as soon as the article comes out, it will immediately burst with freshness.
