发现题材与培育人品——中学作文教学侧议

无话可说是中学生写作文普遍碰到的困难，是作文能力的主要障碍。解决这个问题必须明确作文题材不等于客观事物这一基本事实，并充分认识到题材的实质是主客观的统一体，是写作主体本质力量的对象化，从而在教学中努力贯彻教书育人的方针，切实抓好学生的人品建设，使他们真正走出作文“下笔无言”的困境。

The Finding of Subjects and the Cultivating of Moral Quality——Some ideas about the teaching of composition in middle schools

The difficulty that middle school students meet with is that whenever they are required to write about a given subject they find little to say about it. That is the major problem that delays the developing of their ability to write. To solve the problem, it should be made clear to the students that a subject to write about is by no means the basic objective fact but the unification of subjectivity and objectivity. It is the translation of the writer's essential force into an objective expression. This will make it possible to carry out the principle of imparting knowledge and cultivating the students' moral quality, enabling the student to get out of the difficulty of their shortage of expressions.
