Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 4 Practice the "pen" well and get more points (1)
Write faster and learn more efficiently

Wang Yiming and his neighbor Guo Xiaoliang are in the same class. They go to school together and come home from school together. Wang Yiming finished the homework left by the teacher within an hour at home, and the accuracy rate is still very high, while Guo Xiaoliang took four to five hours, even It's not finished until 10 or 11 o'clock in the evening.

This really made Guo Xiaoliang's parents very anxious, "Oh, Wang Yiming finished it in a while, but my Guo Xiaoliang took a lot of effort to finish it. It's really too slow."

They often nag like this, but they can't think of a better way to help their children improve their learning efficiency, and they don't know where the problem lies. Is there such a big difference in children's IQ?

In fact, this is not the case. Most of the reason why Guo Xiaoliang can't finish is because he writes too slowly.Writing speed has great practical significance in the learning process of primary and middle school students.

Primary and middle school students have a lot of homework to complete every day. Their daily writing volume is very large. The lower grades of elementary school are less. 1000-2000 words. After the second grade of junior high school, the number of study subjects increases, and the total amount of homework is more than 3000-4000 words. write on.

Taking a junior high school student as an example, the effective study time per week is about 9×6 hours, listening to lectures is 5×5 hours, and completing homework for each subject is 3×7 hours. It may take nearly half of the 21 hours to complete homework. It takes one and a half hours to write on average every day. If the writing speed is doubled, almost one hour can be saved every day. If so, it will undoubtedly be easier than others to learn.

At the same time, when "quick writing" becomes a habit of children, their way of thinking and behavior will become "faster", and their learning efficiency will be greatly improved, and their academic performance will of course continue to improve.

Guo Xiaoliang is a typical representative of many children with low learning efficiency. The reason why such students can't finish their homework and low efficiency is "slow writing" is the main culprit.

The level of writing skills directly affects our academic level.

Generally speaking, the writing skills of students with better academic performance are higher, and some are even much higher. The writing skills of some students with poor academic performance are generally not as good as the former. One point: there is no miswriting in one page of homework!They can't do their homework without rubber.

These students either write too slowly, or are full of mistakes and dilatory. It is impossible to improve their learning efficiency. Only by writing "faster" can learning be more efficient.

Tips and tricks to speed up your writing pace

Hard pen calligraphy and soft pen calligraphy are two types of writing methods with different pens.From the perspective of "quick writing", hard pen calligraphy is more convenient and faster than soft pen calligraphy, because hard pen calligraphy only has the action of "pressing" and not "lifting".

When writing with a soft pen (including various brushes and soft plastic pens), you must pay attention to the operation of the pen at all times. The handwriting has requirements for thick and thin, which affects the speed.

Hard pens include pens, pencils, ballpoint pens, bamboo pens, chalk, etc.Pencils should be marked with 1 or 2 B characters, 3B is softer, HB is harder, preferably 1B and 2B (B is black for the mark, H is hard for the mark).Ballpoint pens with lead tube cores are better, and generally plastic tube cores should be selected for fast and uniform oil.It is best to prepare a few more when recording, so that you can replace it immediately when you encounter a pen core that cannot write.

At that time, according to Li Zhengyu, director of the Institute of Posthumous Writings of the Dunhuang Academy, through the excavation and research of a large number of ancient hard-tipped pen calligraphy in the Dunhuang posthumous books, it was proved that hard-tipped pen calligraphy is the mother body of all calligraphy of Chinese characters, thus changing the saying that the history of hard-tipped pen calligraphy in my country began in the Qing Dynasty. , Filling the gap in the history of calligraphy development in our country.

This discovery not only fills a gap in the history of Chinese calligraphy, but also proves that hard pen calligraphy is the most convenient calligraphy.When writing quickly, using hard pen calligraphy is an important prerequisite.

Writing Chinese characters horizontally is faster than vertically. This problem seems to have been solved at present, but some people don’t know enough about it, so it is necessary to briefly explain it.In the past, some people thought that the strokes of Chinese characters are from top to bottom, so writing vertically is faster than writing horizontally.In fact, this is not the case.

Below, we introduce several writing secrets:

Write small, fast and smooth

Small dot writing refers to the font in the notes. Don’t write too big. If it is too big, it will increase the distance of the pen and prolong the writing time, which will inevitably affect the writing speed.

It seems that the problem is very small if each character is written a little bigger, but when thousands of characters are added up, the extended pen distance and time cannot be underestimated.At the same time, the labor intensity of writing with larger fonts will also increase, and it will be easy to feel tired after a long recording time.The font should not be too small. Too small not only looks difficult, but also makes it difficult to write.

Therefore, we only need to write a little smaller, not too big, so that we can write lightly and smoothly without prolonging the time of writing.

Slant to write, the writing speed will be accelerated

It is faster to write with oblique points, which is also scientifically based.Because it conforms to the physiological movement law of handwriting.We generally hold the pen with the right hand, use the elbow as the fulcrum, swing up and down, and develop horizontally, so the straight line we write naturally slopes to the lower left.

Writing with a slant is a natural gesture, and when you write quickly, it will naturally tilt to the lower left.We understand this truth, and when we write quickly, we consciously write obliquely, which conforms to this objective law, and the writing speed will inevitably be accelerated.

Of course, according to the strokes and structural characteristics of Chinese characters, no matter whether they are written straight or obliquely, it is difficult, but in comparison, it is more reasonable and faster to write obliquely.

Write lightly, reduce friction and write faster

To take notes, you need to tap and write, and you can write fast. The reason is simple.

Because the writing is too heavy, the friction between the pen tip and the paper surface will inevitably increase. If the friction is too large, the resistance will increase, the operation of the pen will be hindered, and the speed will inevitably decrease.

Therefore, writing lightly can reduce the friction between the pen tip and the paper surface, and the speed will inevitably increase.If we use a pencil to record, lightly writing can also reduce the loss of the pen core and prolong the use time, so that we don't have to sharpen or change the pen after writing for a while.

Of course, the paper used for recording should be smoother, not too rough, but not too smooth, too smooth is not easy to write on.

Cursive is the best choice for fast writing
1. Running script
Running script, whose shape and strokes are between regular script and cursive script, is beautiful in shape, flexible in structure, full of changes, and fluent in writing. It is the most widely used script.The writing requirements of running script are mostly similar to those of block letters, but the speed of brush strokes is fast and slow, with the most rhythmic sense of lifting, pressing, stopping, and falling, and the echo between strokes is more obvious.

The continuous strokes in running script are called gossamer.It can bring movement and vitality to the original regular script strokes.The part of continuous strokes is not an integral part of the strokes of the characters, but is brought out naturally when the brush is moved quickly during writing. It is an incidental part of writing and can play a role in echoing each other.

Since the hairspring part does not have the process of pressing, pausing, and frustrating, when writing, if the hairspring cannot be brought out naturally, do not deliberately draw, and make the writing part natural and vivid.Before practicing, you must first analyze the strokes of Fan characters, carefully figure out the succession relationship between strokes, where to press, where to lift, so that you can know what to write, so that you can write with ease.

Compared with block letters, running script has its own characteristics:
(1) Use different pens

There are many changes in the shape of the strokes, and the writing in running script is relatively fast and light, with obvious joints and large fluctuations.Due to the greater change in the weight of the pen tip on the paper, it can better express lines with varying thickness and square circles.

(2) The font changes in different ways

The running script changed from the dignified and straight script of the regular script, and instead adopted the strange and correct, mixed with movement and stillness, elegant and unrestrained, full of wit and humor.

(3) Stippling jumps and changes
The structure of running script is not far from that of regular script, but the strokes increase and decrease, and the hairspring traction between strokes is also an indispensable part of the structure of running script.

The running script structure has its own unique side.

If the regular script is dignified and static, then the running script is lively and beating.Running script is easy to write and recognize, and is most suitable for practical application.

Quick writing in cursive script starts with strokes.The basic strokes of running script are not much different from those of regular script, but the speed of running script has been accelerated, and associated gestures have been added, and great randomness has been added. Many changes have greatly enriched the expressiveness of strokes, and can write faster.How to write a beautiful cursive script, let's learn from the strokes first.

To write quickly in running script, radicals are fundamental.

The learning of running script should be deepened from the practice of radicals, because Chinese characters are mostly combined, and combined characters are composed of two or more individual characters. These components are called "radicals". , and analyze the word meaning according to the Chinese character font structure, take the same part as the basis for word search, arrange the parts, and the same part is called "radical".

Since radicals are the basis of Chinese characters, they appear frequently and are very common, so starting with radicals is the most effective shortcut to practice Chinese characters. If you master a radical well, you can draw inferences about other cases from one instance. Applying it to many other Chinese characters can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

2. Cursive
"Cursive script" is relative to "regular script". The so-called cursive script means sloppy and casual.In terms of font, it can save strokes, change shapes, turn squares into circles, write continuously, and even form a single stroke.

That is to say, "cursive script" is simpler and more convenient than "cursive script".Just as "Shu Duan" said: "Authentic script is like standing, running script is like walking, and cursive script is like walking." (The ancient meaning of "walking" is "running".) It can be seen that "cursive script" is the product of fast writing of Chinese characters. It is equal to the shorthand of Chinese characters.

Cursive script, why is it so fast?
