    by 王鼎鈞 ...
    Series series 王鼎鈞作品集
    **  模仿《文心》體裁,討論如何寫論說文,  以文字表達意見,希望培養社會的理性。**  為什麼學生最怕寫論說文呢?王鼎鈞認為,也許因為家庭和學校都不喜歡孩子們提出意見,只鼓勵他們接受大人的意見,也許論斷的能力要隨著年齡增長,而他們還小。生活中有感動,所以可以寫抒情文,生活中有經歷,所以可以寫記敘文,生活也產生意見,一定可以寫論說文。  本書透過國文老師與學生在課堂教學與生活裡的實際互動,講述論說文作法,具體生動,由淺入深。王鼎鈞說:「教人寫作一向主張自然流露,有些故事說作家是在半自動狀態下手不停揮,我想那是指感性的文章。至於理性的文章,如論說文,並沒有那樣神祕,它像蓋房子一樣,可以事先設計,它像數學一樣,可以步步推演。你可以先有一個核,讓它變成水果。」  「這本書完全為了應付考試,出版後風行多年,直到升學考試的作文題不再獨尊論說。倒也沒有人因此輕看了這本書,因為我在書中埋伏了一個主題 ...
