School is an important stage in the life of every child. It is there that he grows up, learns and develops, becomes a personality. But before becoming an adult, the kid learns to perform many tasks, one of which is writing essays. Already from the junior class, children are trained to write similar works. A friend's description is an essay for elementary school students. Let's find out about their subtleties.
How to teach a child?
Not always the first time the kid understands what they explain to him at school, so at home the material needs to be fixed. How to help your child write an essay?
- Prepare the workplace and sit next to the child. In order to write a description of a friend ( we will write an essay on this topic), it is necessary to prepare a photo of the selected person.
- Before you start writing, ask your child to tell you about his friend. Surely the child will not be able to build the full story the first time, therefore, to compose a better picture, you need to ask leading questions: "How would you describe the character of Vanya?" or "What does Katya like to do the most?" Such questions will prompt the student to the necessary reasoning.
- Use a draft. On it, make the first sketches about the appearance, character and habits of the selected person.
Such simple paragraphs will help you write an essay describing the appearance of a person (friend) at home. Now let's analyze the composition structurally.
Introduction
It is no secret that the composition must always begin with an introduction. We will give him only a couple of sentences in order to express the main information about your child’s friend. For example: "I want to talk about my friend Kristina. We have been friends with her since the very kindergarten, so I know her very well." Such a short description is enough. We set the beginning - choose a person and briefly explain why he became our hero.
Main part
A friend’s description is an essay that is mainly based on adjectives. Therefore, it is necessary that the child knows as many suitable words as possible to describe the person.
In the main part we have a complete story. For example: "Vova is 9 years old. He loves to play chess and feed the fish in the aquarium. Vova has blue eyes and dark hair, and he also has a very funny voice and two recently lost teeth." Of course, the main part should be much larger, but according to this example it is generally clear in what way the description should be made.
Conclusion
In the final part, our task is to complete the description of a friend. An essay can end with just a couple of sentences. For example: "I want to always be friends with Masha, because she is a very good person." It’s just that you can teach your child to write essays correctly.
