●Lesson Comments
There are people in Beijing who are good at ventriloquism. Hui [Hui: coincidentally, just in time for] a banquet for guests, in the northeast corner of the hall (hall, living room), set up (shi: set up, place) an eight-foot barrier [barrier: refers to a screen, a tent A kind of thing used to block the line of sight]. The ventriloquist sits in the barrier, which is just a table, a chair, a fan, and a foot ruler [foot ruler: a prop used by artists for performances, also called "awakening wood"]. All the guests sit in a group [group sitting: sitting around]. After a short while, I heard the sound of a foot in the barrier, and the whole place was silent. Sit, same as "seat". 〕, no one dares to make a fuss.
Describe the ventriloquist performer and the time, place, facilities, props of the performance, as well as the situation of the audience and the atmosphere at the start of the performance.
This paragraph renders and foreshadows the wonderful performance described below.
One word "good" dominates the entire article. Four "one" characters are used to list the props, and the simplicity of the props sets off the superb skills of the performers. "Everyone sat in silence, no one dared to make a scene", writing "touch the ruler" creates a solemn and tense atmosphere. The word "full" and the word "none" indicate that everyone is like this. The eight characters not only set off the "goodness" of the performer's ventriloquism, express the guests' longing for this famous man in the capital, show his impressive artistic charm, but also create a quiet atmosphere for the upcoming performance. , is the foil and foreshadowing of the wonderful performance written below.
Hearing the barking of dogs in the deep alley, a woman was startled and realized that her husband was talking in sleep. Soon [Ji: soon] the child woke up and cried loudly. My husband also woke up. The woman pats the baby's breasts [stroking: caressing, comforting] the baby's milk. The baby cries at the breast, and the woman pats and whines. Another eldest child woke up and kept talking. At this time, the sounds of the woman slapping the baby, whimpering, the baby crying with nipple in his mouth, the older child just waking up, and husband yelling loud at the older child, were all given out simultaneously, all at the same time, all wonderful things were completed. Note: It has all kinds of wonderful features, which means that all kinds of sounds are imitated very closely. Bi, all, all. 〕. All the guests stretched out their necks, looked sideways, smiled, and sighed silently, thinking it was wonderful.
The ventriloquist imitates the situation of a family of four being awakened by the barking of a dog late at night, and the guests' silent admiration for the performer's superb skills.
This section is the first climax of the ventriloquism performance.
Point out that the story takes place after people fall asleep. "Dog barking" is not only the reason why the family wakes up from sleep, but also uses movement to describe the stillness, setting off the quiet atmosphere of the night, so that everything can be heard very clearly, even the sounds of "yawning" and "babble" can be heard.
From "hearing in the distance" to "creeping", it illustrates the process of a family of four going from sleep to waking up. Ventriloquist performances are progressive and varied. The eldest son's "cooing" is because he feels unhappy after being woken up. Various voices are written here.
Transfer from "divided singing" to "cantata". Using parallel sentence patterns and urgent gestures, five voices are co-written. "All at once, all the wonderful things are necessary" brought the ventriloquism performance to its first climax.
From "hearing it in the distance" to "thinking it is wonderful", write down the process of sound from far to near, from outside to inside, from small to big, from sparse to dense, from few to many, and express it It tells the story of a family of four waking up from sleep.
Write the guests’ reactions to the ventriloquist performance. "Stretching the neck" and "looking sideways" indicate that the guests are listening intently and are afraid of missing something; "smiling" indicates that the guests understand the performance and are satisfied; "sighing silently" indicates that the guests are impressed by the performer's skills but are inconvenient to applaud. demeanor.
Not long after, the husband began to snore, and the woman patted her son gradually and stopped. There was a faint smell of rats making suosuo [zuosuosuo: the sound of mice moving], the basin was tilted [tilt: overturned and tilted], and the woman coughed in her dream. The guests are feeling a little relieved [Yi Shaoshu: feeling a little more relaxed. Less, slightly. Shu, stretch, relax. 〕, sit slightly upright.
The ventriloquist imitates the scene of four people waking up and falling asleep, as well as the emotional changes of the guests.
This section is not only the aftermath of the four people being woken up and making a noise, but also the prelude to the late-night fire and firefighting.
"The sound of the sound rises" describes the husband's journey from waking up to falling asleep. "Gradually beat and gradually stop", two characters "gradually" describe the change of the sound of patting children from loud to quiet; one character "zhi" indicates that the woman and the child also change from waking up to falling asleep. The word "微" highlights the quiet atmosphere of late night and gives people a light and slow sound. The sounds written above range from loud to small, from dense to sparse.
Second, write down the guests’ reactions to the ventriloquist performance. "Sitting upright" contrasts with "stretching the neck" and "looking sideways". "Slightly" meticulously expresses the gradual transition of the guests' emotions from tension to relaxation.
Suddenly one person shouted "fire", the husband shouted loudly, and the woman also shouted loudly. The two children cried together. Erer [Eer: for a while] hundreds of thousands of people shouted, hundreds of thousands of children cried, hundreds of thousands of dogs barked. In the middle [Jian (jiàn): mixed] Lila collapse [Lila collapse: crackle, the house collapsed.

The sound of fire, the sound of roaring wind, the sound of hundreds and thousands of people shouting for help, the sound of dragging the house (hǔhǔ): (people) pulling down (burning) The house shouted loudly in unison. Drag, pull. Xu Xu, onomatopoeia. 〕, the sound of snatching, the sound of splashing water. Everything that should be there [everything that should be there: whatever (in this case) should be there (sound)], is everything. Although [although: even] people have hundreds of hands and hundreds of fingers on their hands, they cannot point to one end [cannot point to one end: cannot specify (any) one (sound) among them. It describes the various sounds imitated by ventriloquism that are emitted at the same time and intertwined into one, making it impossible for people to identify them one by one. One end, one end, here means "a kind of". 〕; People have hundreds of mouths, and their mouths have hundreds of tongues. It is impossible to name [name: name] one of them. As a result, the guests all changed their colors and left the table, stretching out their sleeves and stretching out their arms. Fen, lift up, lift up. 〕, the two [shares: thighs] tremble [trembling: trembling], a few [ji (jī): almost, almost] want to go first.
It describes a ventriloquist imitating a big fire, and the guests’ demeanor and movements that mistook the fake for real.
This section is the second climax of the ventriloquism performance and the climax of the whole text.
The above three paragraphs are the main part of the article, describing the performer's wonderful performance and the audience's reaction. The combination of frontal description and side description organically links the performance skills and performance effects, highlighting the "goodness" of ventriloquism performance.
Three "big shouts" and five "hundreds and thousands" represent the process from the fire in the house to the spread of the fire to the fire-fighting; "everything should be there", and Two sets of the same sentence pattern, "Although a person has hundreds of hands...can't name one of them", always describe the complexity and lifelikeness of the sound of a fire. The sound written above suddenly became louder, became louder and more chaotic, showing the violent spread of the fire, the nervousness and panic of the firefighters, and recreating the emergency atmosphere of the fire scene. It shows that ventriloquism performances are fake and real, just like a fire scene.
Three write down the guests’ reactions to the ventriloquist performance. Describe the guests' expressions and movements in detail. The two words "leave first" describe the guests' attitude of taking the false as the true and panicking to escape.
Suddenly he touched his feet, and the sound was complete. Take off the screen and look at it, it's just one person, one table, one chair, one fan, and one foot.
Write about the scene at the end of the performance.
This paragraph echoes the first paragraph.
"One person..." ends the article by repeating the beginning, echoing the first paragraph, once again highlighting the simplicity of the props to contrast the complexity and excitement of ventriloquist performances, indicating that ventriloquists rely on superb ventriloquism, and Not with the help of external objects. If it is changed to "touch the ruler, the sound of the group will end", it is also the beginning and end of the echo, but it only indicates the end of the performance and will not have the effect of lingering lingering sounds.
This article describes a wonderful ventriloquist performance, which shows the superb skills of the ventriloquists in Beijing. It can be read as a narrative describing the scene, or as an explanatory text describing the characteristics of ventriloquism.
Clear hierarchy and orderliness are a major feature of the writing of this article. The article is in chronological order and can be divided into three parts.
The first part (first paragraph) writes about the preparation before the performance and the situation about the performance about to start. "There are good ventriloquists in Beijing", introducing ventriloquist performers. The "big banquet for guests" explains the origin of the ventriloquist's performance: since it is a "big banquet", this grand event must be held. "Set an eight-foot barrier at the northeast corner of the hall", pointing out the performance location, indicating that it is a temporary stage and the space is not large. Based on the characteristics of the performance, it was pointed out that the ventriloquist was performing behind the scenes; the props were also listed one by one to show that there was nothing else and that the ventriloquist's performance mainly relied on his "mouth". Finally, "touch the ruler" and "no one dares to make noises" brightened the solemn and tense atmosphere in the audience when the performance was about to begin. Except for the word "good" in this part, there is no praise for the ventriloquist performers, but the superb skills of the ventriloquist performers are everywhere, making the readers guess that there will be a wonderful performance.
The second part (paragraph 2 to paragraph 4), writes about the performer’s wonderful performance and the audience’s reaction. There are two main scenes in this performance: one is a family of four waking up from sleep and going back to sleep late at night, and the other is a big fire that occurred near the family. Can be divided into three layers.
The first floor (second paragraph) simulates the situation of a family being awakened late at night. The performance begins with "hearing the barking of dogs in the deep alley". This sound can be heard from far away without interference, giving people the feeling of silence in the dead of night. In this way, the audience's attention naturally moves from far to near to the place where the dog is barking, wondering what will happen. Then a family of four is used as the imaginary "stage" to shift the audience's attention from the exterior to the interior. First, imitate the woman's "awakening". The woman wakes up when she hears the barking of a dog, which opens the curtain on the family being awakened late at night. After imitating her husband's "raving", the picture gradually became clearer. And because of "lack of reach" and "babble", the child was alarmed, and the child "cried loudly". At this point, the curtain opened, and many sounds appeared one after another: the husband was woken up, and the eldest son was also awakened, so "the sound of the woman slapping the baby, whining from the mouth, the baby crying with breast in his mouth, the sound of the eldest baby waking up for the first time, the husband scolding the eldest baby "Sounds" came out in unison, breaking the silence of the night. Such life scenes were common in ordinary families at that time, and we can see the meticulous design of the ventriloquist performers.
The second level (third paragraph) is about the family falling asleep again.
First, the husband's "voice" is imitated, accompanied by the sound of the woman slapping her child, "gradually slapping and then stopping", giving people the feeling that time is slowly passing. Then, the sounds of mice running around stealing food and "pot tilting" are used to indicate that the night has deepened and the family has fallen asleep. The woman's hazy coughing sound as a warning to the mice is used as a contrast, adding to the quiet atmosphere. This layer represents a family's transition from waking up to falling asleep, to a basically still state, paving the way for a large fire that will be simulated below.
The third floor (fourth paragraph) simulates the thrilling scene of a sudden and huge fire. It began to use a technique similar to "voice-over", with one person shouting "Fire starts", and the rhythm suddenly accelerated. Then he simulated the situation when this family of four suffered an unexpected accident: "The husband started shouting, and the woman also started shouting. The two sons cried together." The atmosphere changed suddenly. Then the interior scene changes to the exterior scene, using "hundreds and thousands of people shouting, hundreds and thousands of children crying, and hundreds of thousands of dogs barking" to express people's panic-stricken psychology, and "hundreds and thousands of cries for help, the sound of dragging the house, the sound of snatching, and the sound of splashing water" to express the intensity of the fire. The violence and chaos of the fire brought the performance to a climax. At this point, the audience has already felt that they are in a "sea of ??fire", and all of them "change their color and leave the table", "almost want to leave first".
The third part (fifth paragraph), writes about the scene at the end of the performance. The performer's props were again explained: "It's just a table, a chair, a fan, and a foot." It means that no props were added to the performance, and the outstanding performance just now was indeed performed with the "mouth". The article begins with the application of the barrier and ends with the removal of the barrier. The beginning and end echo each other and are seamlessly integrated.
The combination of positive description and side description to express the theme is another feature of this article. The article captures two aspects of the performer and the audience in the ventriloquism performance: on the one hand, it describes the performer's superb skills, which is a positive description; on the other hand, it describes the audience's demeanor and movements, and shows the audience's reaction, which is a side description. In the three paragraphs describing the performance process, the performance is written first and the reaction is written later, so that the performance and the effect are organically linked, and the audience's reaction is used as a foil to highlight the "goodness" of ventriloquism performance. In addition, the text describes the ventriloquism performance scene and the props are extremely simple, indicating that ventriloquism does not rely on other instruments to produce sounds, but only comes from a mouth, highlighting the "mouth" of its skills, and also highlighting the "goodness" of ventriloquism performance from the side. Combining frontal description with side description has a better artistic effect than just frontal description.
Concise and appropriate writing is also a feature of this article. The things recorded in the full text are wonderful and complicated, but it only uses more than three hundred words. Among them, the description of ventriloquism performances is particularly exquisite. It goes from stillness to movement, from movement to stillness, and then from stillness to big movement. It describes the sound from far to near, from inside to outside, from few to many, from weak to noisy, from Slow and fast, from simple to complex, it is not only well-layered, rigorous and orderly, but also intricate, with climaxes and changes, vividly expressing the "goodness" of ventriloquism performance. Use "qian stretch" and "babble" to describe the closeness of the sound; use "big cry" and "big shout" to describe the loudness of the sound; use "gradually beat and gradually stop" and "slightly hear" to describe the small sound; use "hundreds and thousands of people shouting" and " "Hundreds of thousands of children cry" is used to describe the number of sounds, and "danwen" is used to describe the few sounds; for various sounds produced at the same time, words such as "Qi Fa", "Bi Bei" and "Qi Zuo" are used after listing the various sounds. To summarize, words such as "in the middle" and "between" are also used to explain the situation of multiple sounds occurring at the same time. In order to illustrate the sequence of sounds, some words indicating time are used, which are both accurate and varied. For example, "Shaoqing" is used between the time the audience takes their seats and the start of the performance. In addition to indicating that the time is not long, it also means waiting for a while. "Jiji" means the short time after the last sound. "When" means at that time. "One moment" means the same time. "Suddenly" and "suddenly" both indicate the time when an unexpected situation occurs suddenly, and "suddenly" appears to be more sudden. The variety of words used shows that the author is good at choosing the most appropriate words to express the content accurately according to the characteristics of the things reflected and the needs of the article.
●About exercises
1. Read the text carefully, and according to the prompts, draw the sentences describing the sound in the text.
The purpose of setting the topic is to make students familiar with the main part of the text, appreciate the exquisite description of sounds in the text, and gain a rich perceptual impression of the superb skills of the ventriloquist. We ask students to fill in sentences describing sounds according to the prompts, so that students can better understand the artistic conception of the ventriloquist and truly enter the "prescribed situation" designed by the ventriloquist. Therefore, filling in the blanks is a means, not an end. Pay attention to guiding students to carefully experience the scenes represented by various sounds, and add some details reasonably to cultivate students' imagination. Students are required to recite the full text on the basis of completing this question and being familiar with the first and last paragraphs.
1． It shows the process of a family of four going from sleeping to waking up, and from waking up to falling asleep late at night.
① From far to near, from outside to inside, from small to large, from division to union.
I heard the barking of dogs in the deep alleys... all the wonderful things are in place.
②From large to small, from dense to sparse, and the remaining sound is faintly heard.

2. Understand the writing skills of the text and answer the following questions.
1． Find the sentences in the text that describe the audience's reaction, and talk about the role of these descriptions.
2. Very simple props are clearly explained twice in the article. What effect does this have on the structure of the article and the performance of the artist's acting skills?
The purpose of setting the topic is to enable students to understand the role of profile description. Instruct students not to talk about side descriptions in isolation when answering questions. For example, when writing about a performance, in addition to writing about the performer and the content of the performance, it is often natural to also write about the reaction of the people who appreciate the performance, and the latter is using side description. Another example is that the beginning and the end correspond to each other. In addition to keeping the structure intact, it also has the function of side contrasting and emphasizing the intention. Profile description is a commonly used technique that should be understood, but the key is to use it consciously and appropriately.
Sentences describing the audience's reaction include: "The guests all stretched their necks, glanced sideways, smiled, and sighed silently, thinking it was wonderful." "The guests felt less relaxed and sat slightly upright." "The guests all left the table with discoloration. , arms outstretched, two arms fighting, almost ready to go first. "Written like this, it highlights the effect of the performance from the side and highlights the superb skills.
It is mentioned at the beginning that "it is just a table, a chair, a fan, and a ruler." The props are very simple and are intended to set off and contrast the complex sounds of the performance later. The reappearance of the props at the end confirms and emphasizes that all the sounds just came from one mouth, thereby highlighting the performer's superb skills and serving as a foil. From a structural point of view, the beginning and end echo each other, making the article coherent.
3. Analyze the following words that represent time and fill in the horizontal lines.
There are many words that express time in classical Chinese, and they need to be sorted out at a certain stage, so that we can effectively master their usage and obtain a solid memory. This question actually provides students with a way to organize, and other methods of organization can also be used.
A few moments, a moment, a while, a while, a moment, a while, suddenly, suddenly
1. To express a sudden occurrence: suddenly
2. Indicates simultaneous occurrence: momentarily
3. Indicates that they happen one after another: then
4. Indicates that it occurs within a specific time: when
5. It means something happened after a short period of time: Erer, Shaoqing, not long
4. Explain the underlined words in the following sentences.
The underlined words in these sentences can be roughly divided into two categories: one category has different meanings in ancient and modern times, such as "hui" (just in time, coincidentally, just in time), "but" (only) , "hear" (hear), "less" (a little), "although" (even), "walk" (run); second, they have different usage in ancient and modern times, such as "Yan" (holding a banquet), "Ru" (breastfeeding) ), "name" (to say) are all used as verbs in the text, and now they are all used as nouns. Students should be reminded to pay attention to these easily misunderstood words.

1. Translation
There was a man in the capital who was good at performing ventriloquism. One day, there happened to be a large banquet for guests. An eight-foot-wide curtain was placed in the northeast corner of the living room. The ventriloquist was sitting in the curtain. There was only a table and a handful of Just a chair, a fan, and a piece of wood. The guests sat together. After a while, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of Xing Mu in the enclosure. The whole place became quiet, and no one dared to speak loudly.
When I heard a dog barking far away in the alley, a woman was woken up, yawning and stretching, while her husband talked in his sleep. After a while the child woke up and cried loudly. The husband was also woken up. The woman patted the child and fed him milk. The child still cried with the nipple in his mouth. The woman patted the child and hummed to coax him to sleep. Another older child also woke up and kept chattering.

All the guests stretched their necks, tilted their heads and listened attentively, smiled, and secretly admired, thinking it was wonderful!
Not long after, the husband's snoring sounded, and the woman The sound of patting the child also gradually stopped for a while. I could faintly hear the rattling of mice, the knocking of pots and bowls, and the sound of a woman coughing in her sleep. When the guests heard this, they felt a little more relaxed and sat upright.
Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "There's a fire!" The husband got up and shouted, the wife also got up and shouted, and the two children started crying together.
In an instant, hundreds of people shouted, hundreds of children cried, and hundreds of dogs barked. Interspersed with the sounds of crackling houses collapsing, the explosions of burning fires, the whistling of wind, and thousands of sounds sounded together; also mixed with the sounds of hundreds of people calling for help, people fighting the fire pulled down the burning houses. There were shouts of strength as the house was being built, sounds of snatching objects in the fire, sounds of splashing water. All the sounds that should be there are not there. Even if a person has hundreds of hands, and hundreds of fingers on each hand, he cannot clearly point out which sound; even if a person has hundreds of mouths, and each mouth has hundreds of tongues, he cannot tell which sound it is. A place to come. Under this situation, every guest was so frightened that his face changed. He left his seat, raised his sleeves, exposed his arms, and his legs were shaking. They almost wanted to run away.
Suddenly he shook his head and all the sounds disappeared. After removing the curtain and looking inside, there was still only one person, a table, a chair, a fan, and a piece of wood.

3. About the description of the scene in this article
The article "Ventriloquism" is very vivid, vivid, delicate and distinctive in terms of scene description, especially the description of lively scenes.
First of all, to write a scene well, especially a lively scene, you must first have a comprehensive bird's-eye view.
The first part (the first paragraph) of the article "Ventriloquism" is about the preparation before the performance and the situation in the audience. At the beginning of this paragraph, there is a description of the scene like a "bird's eye view". The article begins with the sentence "There are people who are good at ventriloquists in Beijing". The first sentence is the title, and the place ("Jingzhong") and the person ("the person who is good at ventriloquism") are highlighted in one stroke. Then the occasion of the performance was pointed out: "a banquet with guests". The author writes very little here without any elaboration, but from an overall perspective, he summarizes the general atmosphere and scene of the whole scene. The author vividly presents a lively picture of life in front of us.
Secondly, in addition to the comprehensive bird's-eye view description, the author also takes typical close-up shots.
For example, after the description of "a banquet with guests", the scene is immediately followed by the scene of "an eight-foot barrier was placed in the northeast corner of the hall...no one dared to make a fuss". Up to this point, the author has used the meticulous painting method to describe the typical occasions ("an eight-foot barrier was placed in the northeast corner of the hall"), characters ("the ventriloquist sitting in the barrier" and "all the guests") that are representative of the scene. Group sitting"), props ("just a table, a chair, a fan, and a foot"), and performance effects ("for a few moments... no one dared to make a fuss"), are all carefully, realistically and vividly depicted and depict.
In short, the bird's-eye view of the whole scene is used to describe the general atmosphere; while the close-up close-ups reveal the characters, props, and ventriloquism effects in a concrete and realistic manner. In scene description, bird's-eye view and close-up are often combined and used cross-wise. It cannot abandon this and go to that, nor can it abandon that and go here.
Furthermore, the description of scenes in the article "Ventriloquism", especially the description of lively scenes, is not only methodical, rigorous and orderly, but also intricate and varied.
For example, in the second part (the second, third, and fourth paragraphs), the performer's wonderful performance and the audience's reaction are written. This text is written in an orderly, rigorous and orderly manner, such as:
The order of the performance: first write about the situation before the performance; secondly write about the performer's performance; lastly write about the end of the performance, reappearing the performer and props.
The process of performance: there is a beginning, a development, a climax, and an end.
The description of the scene: ① The venue with a barrier; ② During the performance, there are scenes of a family of four indoor activities, and noisy and chaotic scenes while fighting a fire; ③ The reappearance of the scene after the performance.
Description of ventriloquism itself: In terms of sound, it goes from far to near, from outside to inside, from objects to people, from small to large, from few to many, from weak to noisy , from slow to fast, from simple to complicated, from one family to neighbors. Each sound comes out in parallel, one after another, until all the sounds are heard, and it is inexplicable at the right time, which really makes people overwhelmed and amazed!
Write the audience's reaction: "touch the ruler" at the beginning, then the silence, "full of seats" "It's so quiet, no one dares to make a scene"; while the performance is in progress, when writing about the activities of a family of four, I first write that "all the guests are sitting here stretching their necks,..." and then write that "the guests are less relaxed and slightly more upright." "Sit", in the fire-fighting scene, it is written that "the guests all turned pale and left the table,...sometimes wanted to leave first"; at the end of the performance, "withdraw the screen to watch", it is still a simple prop.
You can imagine the surprised expressions of the guests.
The author's words of praise: from "all wonderful things are ready" and "thinking it is wonderful" to "everything that should be included...cannot be named in one place". After writing about its exquisite performance and the audience's reaction, the author's praise is added to further enhance the artistic effect of the work.
All of the above are written from beginning to end, with clear features, well-layered, rigorous and orderly.
At the same time, in the middle, according to the needs of expressing ventriloquism performance, from the perspective of the audience, according to the order of performance, the author intersperses other aspects, alternately take care of them, blend them, weave them together, and write a story in an orderly, rigorous and orderly manner. The scenes are described in an intricate and varied manner. For example, in the second part:
The second paragraph writes about the voices of four members of a family, "all at once" and "all wonderful things are ready", forming the first climax of the article, but the author puts the pen As soon as he turned his eyes towards the audience, he elicited the eight characters of "stretching the neck, looking sideways, smiling, and sighing silently", vividly portraying the expressions of the audience who were absorbed in admiration and intoxicated with admiration.
The third paragraph describes a scene where a family falls back to sleep and becomes quiet again. There are the sounds of mice, the sound of pots overturning and coughs in the dream, but the stillness is revealed through movement, which brings out the tranquility of the night. feature. This is the aftermath of the previous climax, falling together and adding waves.
When writing a tense fire-fighting scene in the fourth paragraph, the article started suddenly, like a storm on the ground, breaking the tranquility and leading from the bedroom to the fire scene, organically connecting the two scenes to form the main theme of the article. climax. It vividly and vividly depicts a scene with thousands of threads, thousands of changes, thousands of words, thousands of calls, thousands of critical moments, thousands of difficulties and dangers, thousands of differences, and absolutely true!
This is written in this way The complexity and ups and downs make the article turbulent and swaying.
Also, it should not only describe a picture of life centered on the activities of characters, but also reflect the rich and colorful struggle life. The former describes a life scene centered on the activities of a family of four in the bedroom; the latter reflects the struggle of life in fire-fighting scenes, thus showing a complex and changeable storyline and portraying the voices of many characters. modality.
As for the end of the article, it echoes the beginning, with clear ups and downs. At the end of the performance, the scene reappeared, and the text stopped abruptly, with a crisp and powerful tone. The reproduction of the props emphasizes the simplicity of the performance tools, highlights the "mouth" of the skills, and highlights the meaning of the title. This kind of vivid description makes you feel like hearing its voice and being there when you read it. How can you not be fascinated and applauded for it!
In short, the description of the scene must be selective and should be Have a clear purpose. In literary and artistic works, the description of scenes is used to show the typical environment of character activities, to highlight the characters, to exaggerate the atmosphere, to promote the development of the plot, and to deepen the theme. The description of the scene in the article "Ventriloquism" plays such a role.

4. About the structure and structure of this article Language
"Float Skills" is a good text, because one is simple and the other is story-telling...The article also has many advantages in terms of writing...The following is a discussion of my personal views on language from two aspects. Perspectives on Advantages.
The first is the structural aspect, which I would like to divide into four aspects. (1) Keep notes in an orderly manner. The full text is in chronological order, starting with the installation of the barrier and ending with the removal of the barrier. It is written along with what the guests heard and heard, so that readers can have the feeling of personal experience. Narratives are arranged in chronological order, which is not a special feature, but it is worth paying attention to for beginners, because if it is handled well, for example, properly arranged, and the complexity and simplicity are appropriate, it will be easy to be organized and clear, and things will come naturally. (2) The writing is choppy. Recording events in chronological order cannot be even and unchanging like a pendulum. If there is no change, it will become lifeless and induce people to fall asleep. One way to rescue it is to have content that is important and urgent, that is, there are waves. Using music as an analogy, the things recorded in "Float Skills" are that the melody becomes tighter step by step, and the sound becomes louder step by step. After the fire becomes popular, the waves of notes reach their highest peak. On, the situation is overwhelming. "So the guests all turned pale and left the table." The following is written in a gradually decreasing tone, but it also has an effect. The metaphor is to use green leaves to set off the red flowers in order to make the flowers appear more red. (3) There is also the so-called escapement method, or the method of restraint. ... "Ventriloquism" also uses this style of writing to a greater or lesser extent. In the third paragraph, the couple falls asleep, hears the faint sound of mice, and almost falls into silence. "The guests are less relaxed." They are really lazy and a little impatient. This is a joke.
Immediately after "fire", the situation is huge
