Of course, even if the number of words increases, it will only be "just a small increase" for Sheng Yuan, who is used to expounding articles of thousands of words.
Sheng Yuan chose to start with the eight-part essay first, mainly because its pattern is fixed and it is easier to find clues to answer the questions.
The eight-part essay actually means that the main body of the article is composed of four parts: "the starting part, the middle part, the back part, and the closing part", and each of these four parts has two parts, so it is called the eight-part part.
When Mr. Xuanyuan and Mr. Jiang Wuchang taught the Eight-Part Part Essay, they always emphasized that the Eight-Part Part Essay is the essence of the article, and examiners mostly use this to determine the selection and grade of the article.
When it comes to the four parts of the beginning, middle, end, and end, it should also be noted that each part is integrated into one, and the words and tones of each two strands of the article must be written in pairs.
It should be noted that although each two-part article is integrated into one, when read individually, there is no clear word count requirement for the sentence in each part. It is said to be one sentence, but in fact it may be a small piece of prose. But when another sentence corresponding to it appears, because the number of words, sentence pattern, and tone are consistent with it, you can well understand the meaning of the two couplets.
This is what gentlemen often say: "If you look at one strand alone, you will be biased; if you look at another strand, you will be biased."
And this is also the reason why Sheng Yuan hates this format the most.
The consistency between the two sentences is almost demanding.
If it's a simple two-sentence antithesis, it's easy to say, even if it's parallel prose, Sheng Yuan can accept it.
But who would have imagined that the two paragraphs of an article not only require the same number of words and the same sentence breakpoints, but also the names of people and places, and the real and imaginary words in them must be relative to each other one by one. It also requires that the tones and rhythms of the two paragraphs are the same. The usage in the two paragraphs must also be consistent!
Good guy, this is not difficult for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it is not very friendly to Sheng Yuan, a student who prefers to follow the text.
Therefore, Shengyuan chose this eight-legged essay that required repeated consideration, constant revision, and deliberate organization as the answer question on the first day. She wanted to write early and be practical, and go to sleep when she was tired, so that she could be a good and active student again the next day. Got it!
"I squeezed myself hard on the first day of the exam. I think that after two days, I will be full of literary thoughts, and I may be inspired to write poems!" Sheng Yuan's abacus clicked.
Move when you say it.
After she carefully put away all the main papers, she quickly spread out the draft paper, held the pen and thought for a moment, and immediately wrote to solve the problem.
The overall structure of the eight-legged essay starts with breaking the topic.
According to the requirements of the eight-part essay, two or three sentences should be used at the beginning to clarify the meaning of the question and summarize the gist.
To put it simply, it is to tell the examiner concisely and concisely in the article that you understand the test questions.
After breaking the topic, there are two parts: the topic and the introduction. The function of these two parts is to connect the previous and the following.
The title part also requires three or four sentences to carry over the topic and then expand on it.
The introduction part is to explain the meaning of your article in as few words as possible.
When Sheng Yuan wrote this, she remembered that when her husband introduced this part, he specifically emphasized, "The writing must be natural, and the topic of the article should be mentioned without deliberately elaborating on it." She couldn't help but pause, quickly delete two lines of text, think about it for a moment, and revise it. The language makes the whole article seem particularly smooth and natural.
Taking a long breath, Sheng Yuan calmed down and prepared to write the title part before the eight-part essay. This part is to use a few sentences as an introduction, so that the part-part part can appear in the middle of the article in the right way.
