前些日子我应邀给十来个喜欢写作的孩子上了一堂写作课。课虽然早已结束,但通过课堂透射出来的问题一直在我脑海中萦回。在写作课上,我要求孩子们现场写一篇想象作文,题目是《退休的鞋子》。我自己曾以“退休的鞋子”为题写过一篇童话,这个写作练习也可以叫“和作家同题作文”。退休的鞋子人们总是把穿旧了的鞋子当作垃圾扔掉。鞋子们可从来都不这么想。它们说:“我们只是从人们那儿退休了。对一只鞋子来说,总是要等到退休以后,真正美好的生活才刚刚开始。”旧鞋子们被送到了郊外的垃圾站。 A few days ago I was invited to give a dozen children who like writing in a writing class. Although the course has long been over, the problems that have been transmitted through the classroom have been lingering in my mind. In the writing class, I asked the children to write an imaginative essay on the spot entitled “Retired Shoes.” I myself once wrote a fairy tale on the topic of “Retired shoes.” This writing practice can also be called “Writing an essay with a writer.” Retired shoes People always wear worn shoes as garbage. Shoes never think so. They say: “We just retired from people, and for a shoe, it’s not until the moment of retirement that a really good life has just begun.” The old shoes were taken to the dumpsters on the outskirts.
