The original text of "My Longevity Fruit" in the fifth grade volume of the People's Education Press edition
Sincerity and realness are a major feature of this article. The author begins by saying: "Books are known as the 'fruit of longevity' of human civilization. This metaphor is particularly dear to me. The following is the original text of "My Fruit of longevity" in the first volume of the fifth grade edition of the People's Education Press compiled for you. For reference only, everyone is welcome to read.
Books are called the "eternal fruit" of human civilization. I find this metaphor particularly familiar.
Like bees and butterflies flying over flowers. , like spring water flowing through the valley, every time I recall my youth, I can't help but feel joyful. In the heart of my memory, the reading life in my youth is like a colorful picture page, and also like a ball jumping with joy. The music of musical notes.
My earliest reading material was a small piece of cardboard that children called "Cigarette Man". It was a piece of cardboard slightly larger than a matchbox, with pictures on the front and words on the back. The bonus items in cigarettes. When adults ask children to buy cigarettes, the good news is often snatched away by boys. When we girls get a lot of it, we start to compete with each other by hand-scraping the cigarettes. "People" to see who could scrape the furthest. At this time, I shouted and cheered hard, so that I could finally enjoy the large stack of pictures in the hands of the winner. These small pictures printed with the stories of "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms", It was the first comic book I ever saw.
I enjoyed reading it at first, but over time, I became dissatisfied.
Later, I saw a few real comic books. I am an elementary school art teacher. He had several comic strips that I was fascinated by: "Seven Colored Flowers" attracted my imagination, and "Blood and Tears" made me burst into tears. Later, my brother's friends gave me a few comic strips. Little books: "The Biography of Liu Hulan", "The Story of Zoya and Shula", "Guliya's Road"... As long as I have a book in my hand, I forget to eat and sleep.
Gradually. , comic books and other small books could no longer satisfy me, and I found another "oasis" - the small town's cultural center had hundreds of books! I rushed there every day for several months as soon as I put down my school bag. , I borrowed almost all the literary and artistic books in this small library. I read them quickly and gulped them down. What attracted me first was the story, the fate of various characters, their joys and sorrows. It often makes me worried.
Shakespeare said: "Books are the nourishment of the world. "For a young man like me who is hungry for reading, its function is self-evident. My passion for reading has paid off for me. Since the third grade of elementary school, my compositions have often ranked first in the class. My reading has also been greatly expanded. My imagination. I would stay for a long time at home in front of a stone wall with various patterns, imagining all kinds of myths and legends. When I met a disabled person on the road, I would feel sad and weave his tragic life experience.
I remember one time, the title of the composition was "Autumn is coming". After the teacher read a sample essay, when most of the students started writing "Autumn is coming, the leaves are turning yellow, and they are falling to the ground one by one." A restless thought passed by: It’s boring for everyone to write like this! I want to see autumn with my own eyes and write about autumn with my own feelings.
I compare autumn to a person wearing a golden dress. The fairy, her fluffy sleeves brushed away the scorching heat of the sun, spreading brightness and refreshment to the earth; she used her wide clothes to block the wind and cold, but she held up the heavy fruits and dedicated them to the world. You all love autumn and love her. The sky is high and the air is crisp, I love her clear clouds and beautiful sun, and I love her fragrance floating in the fields.
So, my essay got an "A". The teacher circled and highlighted the article and read it aloud to the class as a model essay.
This small honor made me realize something: when writing an essay, you must first be original in your conception, and you must be a little unique in writing. Different "flavors" are good. These insights are naturally a gift from extracurricular readings.
Later, I was no longer satisfied with just reading ordinary story books. The rich books in the school library attracted me like a magnet. Those large novels from ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, made me intoxicated. Stupid, I spent all my spare time borrowing books. At this time, I developed the habit of taking notes: memorizing beautiful words and wonderful paragraphs in the book. Taking notes has exercised my memory and enhanced my understanding.
Once when I was writing the topic "An Unpleasant Past", I was extremely excited and felt that I had a good opportunity to show off my skills: a grievance I suffered when I was a child, and the words I accumulated to describe distressed moods. , acted like yeast. I started writing on a cold dusk, using the beauty and brightness of the moon and the laughter of the people around me to contrast the isolation and loneliness of a wronged little girl. As I write, I can't help but burst into tears. This essay, full of true feelings, was well received again and was copied in large characters and posted on the wall of the classroom. But when I saw the teacher using a red pen to circle the text I wrote about the moon "like a jade plate embedded in the blue sky" and saying that the word "embedded" was particularly expressive, I blushed. I cannot accept this praise with peace of mind - because this description and the "particularly expressive" word "embedded" are words that I have never forgotten after reading Mr. Ba Jin's "Home".
So, I realized another truth: Compositions should reflect true feelings; composition practice is inseparable from learning and imitation, but the things that really touch people's hearts should be the creations of my own painstaking efforts.
