What is the exposition and how to write it?

Studying literature at school is very exciting and informative. It is on this subject that we get acquainted with the work of great authors, with masterpieces of Russian and foreign literature. But there are also difficulties in studying. Teachers are required to teach poems, write compositions and other creative works. Today we will analyze what this statement is, learn how to write it correctly, and also consider some tricks that will make your work much easier.

We will begin with the very concept of what such an exposition is. Let's give a real example of a fifth-grader's work and analyze all the mistakes that should not be allowed. Let's try to write an ideal statement, taking into account the teacher's corrections. We propose to proceed immediately.

What is it?

So, what is this statement? This is one of the types of creative work on literature. Teachers very often use the presentation to control the knowledge of students. To get high marks for a quarter, you need to try hard and bring the quality of your creative work to the ideal state.

What is the meaning of the presentation? You read, or you read a short text, usually from classical literature. Next, you need to analyze what you read or hear and write a brief retelling, preserving the main idea of the work or its passage. There is also such kind of work as oral presentation. What is it used for? The presentation (oral and written) allows you to create skills in spelling and stylistics, which is very necessary for survival in our society. After graduation, the student must be a formed personality, who can beautifully and smoothly express his thoughts, has certain goals in life.

First, the teacher reads the text. The student's task is to fix the necessary data (numbers, names, sequence of events, and so on). The teacher gives some time to write a draft version, the student should leave empty places where it is necessary (forgot something, did not have time to write down). Then the text is read again. This is the last chance to add something in your presentation. Complement the draft version, check the spelling, punctuation, style. The next step is to write a clean version.

Often there is such practice: together with the presentation it is necessary to perform a small creative task (to headline the text, write an expanded conclusion, that is, its attitude to the problem, supplement an unfinished thought, and so on).

Plan

When the teacher reads the text for the first time, it is necessary to do some sketching. It is very important at this stage to formulate a plan of presentation. One part is a separate paragraph. It is necessary to listen carefully and to divide the whole text into semantic parts. Write them down, and you will get a plan. It allows you to write beautiful and slender text, not to get confused in the sequence of events occurring in the text.

Writing

What is the exposition and why it is used, we have figured out, and now we turn to a brief memo that helps to write a quality work:

• Listen carefully to the text, identify the main problem.
• At the first reading try to make small notes (plan, names, dates, bright expressions, which must be included in the statement).
• Check with the teacher the meaning of the words that you do not understand.
• When you read again, make a detailed plan.
• Next is the work on the text, remove from the plan items that do not carry semantic load.
• Write a rough draft, check spelling, punctuation and stylistics.
• Start writing a clean version.

Example

We give an example of a presentation of the 5th class. Here we will look at the mistakes.

"A new good door was put into the hut, everyone praised her."

That's right: a new door was put in the hut.

"She did not miss the winter cold and summer heat, they stopped talking about her, because there was nothing to blame her for."

That's right: it closed well and opened, there was nothing to blame her.

"But all talked a lot about frames, and how they could not be talked about when they creaked, let the frost pass and swelled."

That's right: everyone talked about frames, because they were bad.

And so on.

The principle of writing a condensed statement even in this small passage is understandable. It is necessary to exclude information that does not carry a semantic load, remove duplicates and descriptions.
