What are the differences between junior high school Chinese and primary school Chinese?

Parents often ask me: Their children are very good at Chinese in primary school. Why is it that when they get to junior high school, especially the first exam, those children who scored more than 90 points in primary school actually scored 70-80 points? How can there be such a big gap? Let’s briefly talk about it: What are the differences between primary school Chinese and junior high school Chinese? What can new junior high school students do this summer vacation? We must clearly understand that primary school Chinese and junior high school Chinese are very different in terms of test points, test difficulty, and scoring standards, and they cannot be treated the same. Mainly talk about the test points of the test paper. The 100-point Chinese paper for primary schools is generally divided into three major sections: basic accumulation and application (including ancient poetry and literary knowledge), reading comprehension, and expression in exercises. The 100-point Chinese paper in junior high school often allocates test points like this: basic accumulation and application, reading of ancient poetry, reading of classics, reading of modern literature, and composition. Although the inspection sections are generally similar, the difficulty is very different. Let’s talk about it separately: basic accumulation and application. The basic accumulation and application of elementary school mainly tests the vocabulary and ancient poems in the class. The question types are relatively simple. It mainly depends on whether the children have learned solidly this semester. As long as children study solidly in school and have a correct attitude, they can get good results in the exam. In addition to the pinyin word questions, the junior high school basic knowledge questions also include the ordering questions of couplets and sentences. For example, the question on idioms and incorrect sentences seems to belong to basic knowledge, but the exam is very difficult. Ancient poetry part. Almost all primary schools take exams on ancient poetry and prose, and the words appear in textbooks. The scores are low and the difficulty is low.

Junior high school not only tests ancient poetry and prose in class, but also tests ancient poetry and prose outside class, and also conducts comparative reading inside and outside class. In addition to the different scope, the length and difficulty of classical Chinese in junior high schools have also increased. This requires daily accumulation of a large number of classical Chinese words in order to understand classical Chinese. This process tests the students\’ comprehensive ability. However, this comprehensive ability must not be developed until junior high school. It is developed on the basis of primary school. Only by accumulating more ancient poetry and classical Chinese in primary school and continuing to study in junior high school, from single points to linear aspects, and from in-class to extra-curricular, can we deal with the long-standing and difficult problem of classical Chinese. Modern reading comprehension. Primary schools often take two reading comprehension tests, and the test scope is usually expository texts, narrative texts, and non-continuous texts. Articles should be within 1,000 words, and may exceed 1,000 words for fifth and sixth grade students. The difficulty of the article is not high, and it has the feeling of \”one can see through it at a glance\”. The question types are more conventional and closely related to the original text. As long as the child has good reading ability and masters certain answer methods, he can get good scores in the reading test. The junior high school examination has added an argumentative essay with a word count of about 2,000 words. The types of examination questions are richer and more complex. Students need to figure out their own understanding to organize the language for answering questions, which is more technical. This requires first grasping the article as a whole, deducing the central idea of ​​the article, finding the key phrases of each paragraph, and on this basis, understanding the thoughts and feelings expressed by the author, and then doing the questions. Especially when it comes to prose reading, I often don’t understand what the article is about after reading it several times, and I am even more confused when answering the questions, and I don’t even know what the questions are asking. Example: the sameFor appreciation questions, primary school students will ask directly: What kind of rhetoric is used in sentence xx? Junior high school students will ask this question: Please appreciate the expression effect of xx sentence/xx sentence from the perspective of artistic techniques? Reading classics. There is no reading section on classics in the primary school exams, and the general knowledge about literature related to the key texts learned this semester will be tested. However, junior high schools have a section on reading classics. The reading test on 12 classics not only tests common knowledge about literature, but also the content of the works, plot sorting, character characteristics and analysis. This requires students not only to read classics, but also to memorize and analyze them. Faced with a huge reading library, we must read effectively. Composition part. The composition at the end of elementary school is basically related to the unit composition of this semester, while the composition in junior high school has a vast ocean. The compositions written by primary school students are very different in terms of structure, content, language, and depth of thought. They are not comparable to those written by primary school students. Junior high school is not only about writing articles of a few hundred words, but also about students’ independent thinking and insights, their delicate grasp of people and society, and their accumulation of rich language materials. If you write junior high school composition according to the primary school model, it will basically be the second and third categories. For example: if you write about a small thing, primary school students need to write it clearly. After writing it in detail, it only needs to have a clear central idea. In junior high school, when you write about a small thing, it is not about the small thing itself, but about seeing the big picture from the small things, and reflecting the big picture behind it through the small things. This requires you to have your own opinions and emotional tendencies. The above is a brief analysis of the differences between primary school and junior high school Chinese. If you want to get high scores in junior high school Chinese, you should not be paralyzed by primary school Chinese scores. Starting from primary school, students must learn solidly in school, strengthen reading and composition training, and pay attention to the study of ancient poetry. The ancient poetry that must be memorized in primary school must be memorized in advance. You need to learn well the knowledge and methods of reading and writing that can be learned systematically, such as the judgment and function of various explanation methods; the judgment and function of rhetorical techniques such as metaphor, personification, and parallelism, the functions of various descriptive techniques, etc. These are what you need to answer questions The basics must be solid in elementary school. If your child is in sixth grade and is facing the first grade of junior high school, you can prepare in advance now: 1. Preview the textbook for the first grade of junior high school and read the text 2-3 times. 2. The words in the textbook vocabulary list must be dictated. Students who are not good at handwriting can still use copybooks. 3. Recite and write down the ancient poems and articles in the first semester of the first grade of junior high school, and memorize the key classical Chinese words by looking at the annotations. Those who are capable must increase their study of classical Chinese. 4. Read the reading books required for the first grade of junior high school during the holidays. It is best to read it intensively and make some annotations and excerpts. Must-read classics: Lu Xun\’s \”Morning Blossoms Plucked at Dusk\” and Wu Chengen\’s \”Journey to the West\”. You can choose to read: Turgenev\’s \”Hunter\’s Notes\”, Sun Li\’s \”Baiyangdian Chronicles\”, Shen Congwen\’s \”Xiang Travels\”, Li Ruzhen\’s \”Flowers in the Mirror\”. 5. It is recommended to use the minimum skill training method to practice the composition. Minimum skill training: Composition writing is a big project, and it is impossible to train it comprehensively from the beginning. It requires some skill dismantling. Just like a track and field athlete, they don\’t run as soon as they come up, but train to start, squat, lunge, etc. In this way, only by training each skill in place can the overall performance be improved. The same is true for writing compositions. Children can be dismantled and trained on the minimum skills of composition, such as: various types of opening sentences, each of which should be trained and have 10Excellent sentences; 10 sentences each about the eyes of various characters (angry, smiling, sad…); 10 sentences each describing the wind (rain, snow, fog…);… The minimum skill training for children to do compositions, If you don’t know how to write at first, start by copying. The child writes frequently and becomes proficient in writing. When he gets a composition topic, his literary thoughts will naturally flow out. If you have little accumulation and practice, once you need to use it, you will fall into a situation of \”word shortage\” and will end up being unable to write well. 6. It is recommended that you read 1-2 prose collections to adapt to junior high school prose reading. After reading, you can choose small paragraphs for imitation. It is recommended to read essay collections by writers such as Bi Shumin, Liu Yong, Zhou Guoping, and Shi Tiesheng. You can search online. Finally, let’s summarize. Primary school Chinese attaches great importance to memorization, which is the study of some phenomena and scattered points. Junior high school Chinese language focuses on comprehensive examination and formation of a knowledge system. During this period, children\’s ideological understanding is also deepened. All of the above can be practiced and guided more in daily learning, so that children can make a good transition from primary school to primary school.
