Writing Method
First a small introduction. I went to school in first grade in 1945. Then the children were admitted to school from the age of 8. I remember: there was a devastation after the war, a card system, a hungry childhood. Then there was no school uniform. Girls sewed dresses from sacking. Boys and girls studied in different schools. My first teacher was Nina Ivanovna, the second was Elena Stepanovna Obrubova. which came to us in the third grade. She lived in a working barracks and she still studied at a teacher’s college. This was a tall girl with two braids, ten years older than us. She taught us in her own way: from the third grade she taught us to write essays. She asked us to have albums where we had to write our feedback about the books we read. Leaving school, she returned my children’s essays to me.
Elena Stepanovna Obrubova gave us the first knowledge of writing works, instilled in us a love for the Russian language and Russian literature.

So, to write a good composition, you need to know those parts of the work, to let it through the prism of your soul, to observe the 4 elements of the plan: the epigraph, the introduction, the main part, the conclusion. Be able to quote correctly, at the end of the essay indicate the source of quoting. In schools, essays are conducted to check the students’ knowledge of texts, the ability to logically express thoughts, test the knowledge of the grammar of the Russian language. All this comes with experience and practice.
Typical errors of students in terms of works should be considered:
1) Inability to understand the specifics of the topic.
2) Wrong approach to the topic of entry.
3) Absence of a number of questions in the main part.
4) The discrepancy between the conclusion and the content of the essay. For example, the text said about the beloved hero, and in conclusion – the importance of creativity Leo Tolstoy.
5) Absence of conclusions and generalizations.
6) Presence of stylistic, grammatical, syntactic errors.
7) Wrong graphic design of the plan, random numbering of items. The plan is followed first by Roman numerals, then Arabic numerals, then – alphabetic numbering.
The student should pay attention to the epigraph. Although it is not required in the composition, but a successful epigraph is evidence that the student has correctly understood the material. The epigraph should correspond to the topic, be expressive, concise. When the epigraph should be a reference to the source. And there must be a correct graphical layout.
It is necessary to prepare for the composition in advance, it is advisable to read additional literature. In the statement, avoid the same mistakes as in the plan: the use of material that is not relevant to the topic, the incompleteness of the coverage of the material, the lack of consistency in presentation, the disproportion of parts, the inconsistency of writing the plan, the repetition of the same thoughts, the inability to use quotations (absence or excessive their use when the composition turns into a set of citations), the distortion of historical, literary, biographical facts, an artificial connection with the present, the absence of logical transitions (“bridges”) from one part with Inonu to another, copying from various sources.
At the end of the work, mention should be made of the literature used. There may also be errors. First you need to specify the name of the author, then the name of the source, the page (volume, part, chapter, page), the year of publication, the name of the publisher. After finishing the work on the draft, you must carefully check it, making sure that everything is in order, to rewrite it to a clean copy.
