Many of the students in the eighth grade are sad when they read the news modules in the language books: it's a fact story. How come you can't feel it when it comes out? The title will be drawn up later, the information will be extracted later, the language will be analyzed later, and it will feel like “roadover”. In factSecondary languagesNews issuesThere is a permanent response to questions and questions, so that the examination can be handled easily, provided that the core question and methodology are available。
I. Understanding: the “lead logic” of news
The information points at the lower secondary level are concentrated in the first module of the eighth grade, the first three of which are printed in the press. Many students find the news difficult because they do not understand its core features. There are three basic features of the news: timeliness, accuracy and authenticity, which are the basis for all questions。
The news does not seek literature and does not need to be depicted vividly, and its centrepiece is “to speak in fact”, which seeks to restore objective facts and to report events accurately and in a timely manner. Therefore, the language of the news is precise, rigorous and concise, and the answers are critical to these three characteristics and cannot be answered in the same way as the narrative。
Two or seven core types: top three, high. Min
In all, seven types of subjects are taken in junior high schools, the first three being high frequency points, which appear almost every time, and the latter four are less successful, but they also need to be understood。
1. Preparation of the press title
This is the most common theme and the basis for the subject. At the heart of the title is the “capture core”, where key messages are extracted from the introductory part of the news, which is generally a summary of the whole event in the first paragraph of the news。
Query techniques:
• to extract “who + done what + what was done”, remove the qualifier and retain the core information。
• the title should be simple and clear, generally not exceeding 20 words, and summarize the main elements of the news。
• example: if the news content is “autumn games in a school, first class in eighth grade gets first in the group”, the title could be “autumn games in a school, with the eighth grade winning”。
2. Extracting news information (additional introduction)
This type of subject, similar to the type of title to be written, is a test of the ability to extract information and sometimes requires additional introductory language. The introduction is the beginning of the news and contains six elements: when, where, who, what, why and how。
Query techniques:
• extract key information from the introduction, such as time, place, person, cause, history and outcome of the event。
• in the case of supplementary introductory language, the core events and results of the news should be written in a concise language that is consistent with the features of the news。
• example: “on 1 october 2024, a community launched a `national day of service for the people', providing free hairdressing, medical examinations, etc., which were well received by the residents”, the information obtained could be “on 1 october 2024, a community launched a national day of service for the people, which was well received by the residents”。
3. Media analysis
This type of question usually asks “where is the word well used” or “can a word be deleted”. It was wrong for many of the fellow students to answer in the same way as narratives, and the core of the news language was “accuracy and rigour”, so the answers were tied to both characteristics。
Query techniques:
• asked “where is the word well used”: to analyse the word from the perspective of “accuracy” and to show that it reflects the characteristics of the news language, such as the words “about” and “about”, the accuracy of the news language and the avoidance of absoluteization。
• asked whether a word could be deleted: first, to answer the words “cannot be deleted” and then to explain the role of the word in sentences such as “at least” and, if deleted, to change the meaning of the sentence, which is not in keeping with the authenticity and accuracy of the news。
• for example, could the word “approximately” be deleted from the phrase “there are approximately 1. 4 billion people in our country”? It is not possible, since the “approximate” represents an estimate that reflects the accuracy of the news language, the deletion becomes a definite figure and is not factual。
4. What is the use of writing in a paragraph/sentence and what is the effect
This type of subject is given relatively low marks, and it is usually asked what rhetorical or representational techniques are used in the news and what the effect is。
Query techniques:
• to determine what techniques are used, such as metaphors, drawings, rankings, etc., and then to analyse the role of this technique, which, in combination with the features of the news, shows that it enhances the vitality of the news or highlights a certain fact。
• example: in the news, “he ran out like a wiring arrow”, a metaphor was used to visualize his speed and highlight the stress of news events。
5. What is the subjective attitude of the author in this news
This characterization examines the analysis of the author's emotional attitude, which is sometimes implicit in the news, although it is based on objective facts。
Query techniques:
• a positive attitude is reflected in the use of the word, tone and content of the news, such as the word “excellent” by the author, which reflects regret。
• it is important to combine the content of the news with an indication of how the author's attitude is expressed and not based on speculation。
