The Chinese essay questions for the 2024 Shanghai College Entrance Examination are as follows:
After the first Chinese subject test, Fan Xinqiang, a special-level Chinese language teacher and senior teacher in Shanghai, commented on the Chinese composition questions of this year’s Shanghai College Entrance Examination.
The 2024 college entrance examination essay questions have been unveiled amidst much anticipation. The Shanghai college entrance examination essay question can be said to be a "familiar stranger".
There are two reasons why I say "familiar". On the one hand, this essay question maintains the tradition of Shanghai’s propositions focusing on “speculation”. Everyone's time, energy, and ability are limited, and it is impossible to have a true, in-depth, and comprehensive understanding and judgment of the value of every thing. How to "judge things and distinguish high from low", we often need to use some tools, " Recognition” is one of them. Therefore, using "recognition" to judge things will naturally save time and energy costs, and it is also an inevitable choice after considering the scope of abilities. However, when using "recognition degree", one should pay attention to the group characteristics formed by "recognition degree" and the time and space factors formed by "recognition degree"; in addition, blindly trusting "recognition degree" will bring personality color and The lack of innovative thinking is worthy of careful identification. Therefore, this test question has a relatively sufficient space for speculation and maintains the consistent characteristics of the Shanghai proposition.
Another reason for "familiarity" is that the essay questions come from students' lives and are real problems that students have encountered or will encounter in their lives. When choosing which restaurant to eat at, students will use some food review tools; when choosing which movie, attraction, or book to read, students will use some highly recognized rankings to assist in their decision-making; and so on. In other words, this essay question can stimulate students' real life experience and reflection. When encountering this question, students will feel friendly and can write if they want.
Of course, it's still a stranger. In the daily composition practice of senior high school students, the theme of "how to understand the value of things" is often mentioned. However, this college entrance examination question focuses on a more subtle issue under this theme, that is, how to understand the value of things with the help of other people's understanding. Precisely because the question focuses on subtle and specific issues, it will force students to not be satisfied with their existing knowledge and to think further and explore in detail. It is in this sense that it is a familiar stranger.
All in all, the 2024 Shanghai essay questions are simple and speculative, upright yet innovative, reflecting the height of the Shanghai proposition.
