Write freely


   Though I have got rid of my high school for more than 6 months, I still remember my writing experience in school. I hate it.

     When we are request to make a composition, we are always given an abstract topic like cooperation or bravery and even something more boring. Besides, the content is also restricted what means your keynote must be something positive. That is not so bad. The most terrible things are that the format and style is also restricted invisibly because our teacher keep mention us which kind of article can get higher marks and ask all students follow it. To get higher marks, we also recite all kinds of beautiful sentences though it may be meaningless and put them into our composition. Does it really improve our ability in writing? At least I do not think so. Maybe all of us heard about the saying that writing for exam is like dancing while chained. How can a dancer performance well while be firmly tied?

 In my opinion, only if your article is filled by your own inspiration and with your own style otherwise it cannot be called ‘your article’. Maybe simulate others is a way to improve our writing, but just keep simulate other can do nothing but make you lost the ability of analyse things.

       The topic reminds me that a discussion among Chinese literature fielda.it is about the lack of new-generation Chinese literature master. I remember that some interesting question was raised some question at that time. ‘Would Lu Xun became a well-known writer as he was if he born after the 1950s?’’Dose it possible for someone who was taught to write only in the given way for more than 10 years?’ NEVER! They won’t be able to write freely. Without an open mind and an open environment, a true writer will never turn up.

     Just write freely. Writing should not be a burden. Write whenever you manna do so. Write whatever you like. Write for yourself and enjoy your writing!

  1. I agree with you.Writing should be a enjoyable thing rather than a burden. In high school, I write something to release my emotion. After writing I will feel better and comfortable. Unfortunately for the exam, we must write with the restriction, and we can only adapt.

  2. HAHA!Now I can tell you are writing for yourself...But we can not always write everything we want, even if we have now in another learning environment.So the tip is to enjoy writing even if we are given a topic we are not interested in.

    1. In fact,just writing with a given topic is never so bad...But what about given a whole form?and those non-sense sentense which you must recite again and again?That is what I hate most...

  3. Maybe different people have different opinions.when I look back to my writing experience,I do not think it is so bad.I agree with Liu Yifei that we should learn to enjoy writing even if we are given a topic we are not interested in.
