I'm currently racking my brain trying to come up with an idea for a narrative i have to write for
a chinese assignment. if you're bored then how about some ideas? it could be on anything. but the
teacher wants something along the lines of a story about a single character then a surprise at the
end like descriptions of your mother being terrible to you then you realising she did what she did
because she loved you. of course something more unique and imo less crap than that but along those
lines would be better.

i used to be okay at these sorts of things but have been studying engineering for so long now that
i've become less 'arts' orientated...

im going to cheat and ask for ideas. it needs to be about 1000 words. simple ideas is all i need.
its not due for a while so im just thinking at the moment...

1000 words in Chinese??Isn't it?
Do you like watching film?There is many plot you can use for reference.
Like Chinese film<不能说的秘密> and American TV Show ...
You can use your imagination make the story more spectacular and the character more lively.You
know,Not only the character is your mom or people who you know well,but also can be a person you
created.I speak Chinese,My English is not very well,some times I don't know how to describe the
things well,please never mind.

Maybe you could write about a kid going through the dreaded process of college admissions, and in
the end he gets into college!

I have no idea why I was thinking of that though....

加油!










md1101 -

college admissions.. yeah thats a good idea. ill think about that. he can be from a real poor
family too to make things more interesting.

and ill start thinking of some tv shows i could copy too melonqq. also, im happy your first post
on these forums was a reply to me!

Or maybe the kid does not get what he wants, but then another door opens so he ends up better than
getting in college.










md1101 -

well, in the end i wrote about some kid in his last year of school who always studied hard but had
a love of football. his parents wanted him to focus more on study so he had to give up a lot but
in the end they still wanted him to quit the football and even hid an offer from a local club that
came for him. he commits suicide in the end morbid i know but the teacher did ask for a shock at
the end. maybe its even a bit cliche. will post the story once i get my marks back. (not before or
my teacher will accuse me of cheating..)

What if she doesn't think to check until after grading it?

Do you think that any teacher would actually care that much?

The only that could happen is whilst reading, the marker finds that some particular sentence or
chunk of text just seems too good to be written by the person who wrote the essay, so then she
would type that phrase into google/baidu/etc. I highly doubt that anyone would care to think about
their students' essays once they have been returned.

.

No problem. Just start another thread and ask people to contribute a sentence or so in Chinese to
a story about whatever.

... Or contribute in English for others to translate to Chinese.
