But it enters the brain and the heart. Shanghai College Entrance Examination Essay Review | Zhang Yi, Senior Chinese Teacher at Shixi Middle School: Plain and Simple Shanghai College Entrance Examination Essay Title | Chinese | Middle School Chinese
On the morning of June 7th, 2023, after the completion of the National Unified Culture Examination for the Enrollment of Ordinary Higher Education Institutions in Shanghai, the Municipal Education Examination Institute immediately announced the composition questions for the 2023 Shanghai College Entrance Examination and invited relevant experts to evaluate and analyze the composition questions.
Zhang Yi, a senior Chinese teacher at Shixi Middle School, believes that this year's Shanghai college entrance examination essay questions have a common feeling of being "plain and profound", which allows students to "immerse themselves in their minds and hearts". All the words in the title may seem plain and simple, such as "willing", "exploring", "unfamiliar world", "curiosity", etc. However, to truly write this essay well, it tests the student's certain critical thinking ability. For example, what is an unfamiliar world? Is it just an unknown field? In fact, this is not necessarily the case. Is this world the external world and natural world that we are familiar with? It's not like that, our inner world also belongs to it. So, this question inspires students to have a very broad space for thinking.
The word "only" in the title, combined with a question mark, will deepen the student's field of thinking. Exploring the unknown world is not just about curiosity. Curiosity is a starting point, but for 18-year-old youth, they are about to enter a new stage of life. They have their own sense of mission and patriotism in exploring unfamiliar worlds and unknown fields.
