“找米而炊”强调的是要善于积累写作素材。没有丰富的素材,作文就犹如无源之水、无本之木,自然就显得局促浅陋,不能出彩了。那么,作文的“炊米”又在哪里呢?我的回答是:在生活里,也在我们的心里。因为谁都知道,作文就是要描述生活,表现人性,表达真情实感。敏于观察,对生活中经见的人与事,要能看在眼里,记在心里,还要有独到的见解与感受,如此就能找到作文素材。 “Looking for rice and cooking” emphasizes that we should be good at accumulating writing material. Without rich material, writing is like a passive water, without the wood, it seems naturally cramped, can not be out of color. So, where is the composition’s “rice”? My answer is: in life and in our hearts. Because everyone knows that writing is to describe life, showing human nature, to express the true feelings. Sensitive to observation, people and things seen in life, to be able to see in the eyes, remember in the heart, but also have unique insights and feelings, so that we can find writing material.
