Alright, let's take a look at this article/poem together.

First, read it through completely (or recall it), then tell me:
1. What is the content of this article/poem?
2. What part left the deepest impression on you?

Don't overthink it, just share your first impression.

Hmm, you have a good overall grasp.

Now let's take a closer look at the paragraph/sentence related to the question.
Read it again, and pay attention to these words: XX, XX...
How are they used? What characteristics do they have?

Read slowly, savor carefully.

Right, you've noticed the key points.

What rhetorical or expressive technique do you think the author used here?
(Metaphor, personification, contrast, foil, symbolism...)

Which words or sentences can prove this?

Great, you've identified the correct technique.

Now think about it: Why did the author use this technique?
What are the benefits of writing this way? What emotion or main idea does it express?

Think in combination with the context.

Your understanding is correct!

However, when answering questions, you need to use standardized Chinese academic terms.
We can organize the answer like this:
1. Used XX technique
2. Specific manifestation is... (quote or summarize the original text)
3. Expresses/highlights... (emotion/main idea/image)

Try to express it following this framework.

For summary questions, focus on key information:

Let's do it this way:
1. Find the topic sentence or key words of each paragraph
2. Extract common points or main content
3. Summarize in concise language

Which is the topic sentence of this paragraph? Try to find it.

For appreciation questions, approach from three angles: "what is written, how it is written, why it is written":

1. Content: What does this sentence describe?
2. Technique: What rhetorical or expressive technique is used?
3. Effect: What emotion does it express? What image does it shape?

Let's start with the content aspect...

Analyze functions comprehensively:

- Content: What is written, and its relationship with the main idea
- Structure: Function of the beginning/ending/transition
- Expression: Application and effect of techniques

This paragraph is at the beginning/middle/end of the article. What function do you think it serves?

Methods to understand the meaning of sentences:

1. Literal meaning: What does it say on the surface?
2. Deep meaning: Combined with context, what does it imply?
3. Metaphorical/symbolic meaning: If there is rhetoric, what is the literal subject?

First, tell me the literal meaning of this sentence...

Analyzing character/scenery images:

1. Find the descriptive verses
2. Summarize the characteristics of the image (use adjectives)
3. Explain the shaping techniques (direct description/indirect description)
4. Analyze the entrusted emotion

What image is described in the poem? Can you find the relevant verses?

Methods to grasp emotions:

1. Look at the title and annotations (background is very important)
2. Catch key images (willow - parting, moon - homesickness...)
3. Look at typical words ("sorrow", "regret", "joy"...)
4. Combine with the poet's experience and the background of the times

First, look at the annotations. What is the writing background of this poem?

Common techniques in poetry:

- Rhetorical devices: metaphor, personification, hyperbole, antithesis...
- Expressive techniques: lyricism through scenery, expressing aspirations through objects, contrast, foil...
- Structural techniques: introduction-development-transition-conclusion, revealing the main idea at the end, ending with scenery...

What technique is used in this poem? Where can you tell?

Methods to infer the meaning of classical Chinese content words:

1. Substitution method: Substitute the options into the original sentence to see if it makes sense
2. Association method: Think of idioms or textbook sentences containing this character that you have learned
3. Context method: Infer based on the context
4. Structure method: Look at the position of the character in the sentence (subject-verb-object)

Try substituting the options into the original sentence. Which one makes sense?

When translating classical Chinese sentences, you should achieve "faithfulness, expressiveness, elegance":

1. Identify key content words and function words
2. Judge special sentence patterns (inversion, ellipsis, passive voice...)
3. Prioritize literal translation, with free translation as supplement
4. Adjust word order and supplement omitted components
5. Express smoothly in modern Chinese

Which words in this sentence are key? Explain them first.

Understanding classical Chinese content:

1. First, clarify the meaning (translate it)
2. Grasp the character relationships and events
3. Understand the author's attitude and the article's main idea
4. Pay attention to differences from modern concepts

First, tell me what this paragraph is about in modern Chinese.

Topic analysis is the first and most important step in essay writing:

1. Clarify the type of topic (proposition, material, topic-based)
2. Find key words and understand the requirements of the topic
3. Determine the scope and angle of writing
4. Refine the central thesis

What are the key words of this topic? What do you think you need to write about?

A good essay needs a clear structure:

- Opening: Introduce the topic and put forward the thesis (Phoenix Head - concise and attractive)
- Body: Sub-theses + evidence and argumentation (Pig Belly - rich and substantial)
- Conclusion: Summarize and elevate, echo the opening (Leopard Tail - powerful and concise)

How many parts do you plan to divide your essay into? What will each part cover?

When selecting evidence, pay attention to:

1. Typicality: Representative, can strongly prove the viewpoint
2. Novelty: Avoid cliché (use "Edison invented the light bulb" less)
3. Diversity: Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, positive and negative comparisons
4. Accuracy: Facts must be accurate, not misattributed

What evidence can you think of to support your viewpoint?

Methods to improve essay language:

1. Use accurate and vivid words (use more verbs and adjectives)
2. Use diverse sentence patterns (combination of long and short sentences, combination of parallel and loose sentences)
3. Appropriate quotation (poetry, famous sayings)
4. Rhetorical devices (metaphor, parallelism, antithesis)

This paragraph is well-written, but can you make it more vivid?
For example, the word "walk" can be replaced with...?

Hmm, your understanding makes some sense, but it may not fully address the question.

Let's go back to the question requirements, which ask about "XX",
while your answer mainly talks about "YY",
What do you think is the relationship between these two?

(Guide the student to compare with the question and adjust their thinking)

I understand your feeling that Chinese answers are subjective.

But actually, there are objective bases for answering Chinese questions:
- All answers must come from the text
- There are clear standards for judging techniques
- Emotion grasping must combine annotations and background

It's not "anything goes", but "reasonable and evidence-based".

Let's see how the standard answer finds evidence from the text...

Answering Chinese questions does have certain templates and routines.

Let's summarize the steps for this type of question:
1. Step 1: ...
2. Step 2: ...
3. Step 3: ...

Try to answer following this framework, and I'll check it for you.

It's normal to have no idea for essay writing. Let's figure it out together.

First, confirm: What type of essay do you want to write? (Argumentative/narrative)
Then:
- Argumentative essay: Determine the thesis → think of evidence → outline
- Narrative essay: Select materials → plot structure → determine details to emphasize or omit

Do you think it's better to write an argumentative or narrative essay for this topic? Why?
