Helpful information

The word USE has a fascinating effect on people. The majority, long before the exam, begins to treat it as a fatal milestone: terrible and inevitable. One gets the impression that the will and mind of people are paralyzed at the same time ... Distinct images of a conveyor belt, a meat grinder or a current that carries the unfortunate people to no one knows where emerge ... What is the consequence of such an attitude towards the upcoming test? Passivity, indifference or, on the contrary, feverish activity, senseless fuss, excessive nervous tension. Get reliable information about the upcoming exam.

Self defense. If an appeal is needed

It is better not to tune in to the appeal in advance. There is such a life pattern: often people attract situations that they think too much about. The situation of filing an appeal is not the most pleasant. I wish you could avoid it. But if an appeal is unavoidable, it's best to know how to file it.
Therefore, I consider it important to talk about this topic.

This table contains works on possible problems of task 26. Many works are not from the school curriculum, of a small volume.

Sometimes it happens that we read a text given in a work on the Russian language, and it seems to be clear what exactly this text is about, what the author wanted to say, what he thinks about the issue raised. However, it is not possible to concretize and formulate the problem. And then you try to describe it somehow, to name it somehow. And now, you are already ready to look for the author's position on this problem, to comment on it, but you decide to check: did I define the problem correctly? And then you get upset, because the answers give completely different problems and their formulations.

How to deal with it? How not to make a mistake? It is necessary to practice in identifying the problem, to read a lot of texts. And also follow a certain algorithm, which should help detect the problem at least in the first steps. Then you can get used to it.

And so, the first step has been taken. You have read this text. What to do now? I advise you to read a lot of texts at first, try to formulate problems yourself and compare them with the correct answer.

It won't work, I know, but this is just the beginning. In this case, we are moving according to the algorithm “look at this problem & ho> look at the position of the author & ho> check with the text and try to find a pattern.” After that, for self-specific detection of the problem, we must follow these steps:

1) Make sure you understand the meaning of the text. Ask yourself the question “Why did the author bother writing this text? For what? What did he want to say? Were you able to find an answer? Let's look at the example of the story of A.P. Platonov "Yushka". I hope you are familiar with it. Why did Platonov write this story? He wanted to convey to us how ruthlessly a person acts in relation to another defenseless person.

He wanted to instill in our hearts pity for Yushka, he wanted us to look at ourselves from the outside. So that we would be horrified and understand that it is bad to act like the people in the story. With such reasoning, it is not difficult for us to discover the position of the author on a problem that is not yet known to us. Platonov condemns indifferent people.

2) The problem is easier to formulate with a question. The author's position & ho is the answer to the question. The answer to the problem. As you already understood, any problem formulated as a question can be answered. And these answers may be reflections of different positions. In the story, Platonov condemned the indifferent attitude towards people and clearly showed what it can lead to (in this case, to the death of Yushka), but someone can say: “There is nothing terrible in indifference to a person, and this will not lead to anything bad.” maybe". That is, we can try to give slightly different positions to the problem, and then it will be a little easier to formulate it. Here the wording “What can an indifferent attitude towards people lead to?” clearly suggests itself. This will be our desired problem. That is, we:

a. Finding the meaning of the text

c. We give other points of view, as if arguing with the author

d. We formulate a question, the answer to which will be the above positions

Searching for a problem in the text & ho is not an easy task. But we will have to do it. I sincerely hope that this algorithm will help you in some way. Try to train more, and you will succeed!
