The unified state exam, the successful completion of which allows yesterday's schoolchildren to become students of prestigious universities, is a rather difficult task. Since the exam requires increased attention and a sufficient amount of necessary knowledge, educators recommend that students prepare well before proceeding to pass it.
Among the multiple tests of the Unified State Examination is an essay in the Russian language, the minimum volume of which should be 150 words. With fewer words, as practice has shown, it is quite difficult to fully reveal the existing topic.
Consider the process of creating an essay plan that will help express the essence of the essay and fully substantiate the point of view on the problem. As for most works of this kind, it would be useful to add an introductory and final part to the structure of the text. Most educators recommend the following type of plan for essay writing for exam:
- The essence of the topic.
- Comments on her.
- Author's opinion.
- The student's personal view of the problem.
- Justification of your own point of view (give at least 2 arguments).
Let's bring examples of essays for the exam, which will help you navigate and write a decent presentation on the chosen topic.
Example 1
The entire text of Mikhailov is permeated with the thought of the phenomenon of a man of genius. The author emphasizes the inability of science to fully study and explain the nature of genius and find its source. Some thinkers believe that the currently known term "indigo children" can be justified as the birth of a child from the union of a person and an alien being, other scientists consider the emergence of such a gifted category of children as the result of genetic mutations.
As proof, Mikhailov cites a real story about an 8-year-old child. The girl may soon become disabled, but at the same time she demonstrates amazing abilities for drawing and learning languages. It can be assumed that such a case is a phenomenon, but in fact the reason for the girl's talent lies in the desire of her parents to help realize her daughter's talents.
Mikhailov expresses the opinion that only with the help of hard work and the help of relatives and close people can genius inclinations be manifested.
As argument I would like to give as an example a real story from the life of the composer Mozart. His talented, but lacking in genius rival Salieri envied Mozart, but was not going to sit for hours over notes, hoping that chance would help him defeat the "enemy". Mozart, on the other hand, was used to working hard, and it was this amazing diligence that helped him become what we know as a genius in his field.
The problem of the text echoes the real life of today's little geniuses, of which more and more are born every year. Each of them could establish himself in the chosen field and fully express himself, but often this is hindered by a lack of attention from parents. Teachers, as well as peers, sometimes simply scoff at indigo children, who are already very different from everyone else. Therefore, anyone who encounters such brilliant children can be advised to contribute to the process of birthing a real genius from a nascent talent.
Analyzing the work of N. Mikhailov, I came to think about the predominant role of the people around a brilliant child in shaping his genius. I would like to call on everyone to not allow the sprout of the outstanding abilities of the indigo child to be trampled into the dirt.
Example 2
Can war destroy everything that is highly moral in a person? Or is a particle of the animal in each of us sooner or later revealed under certain circumstances, crowding out human qualities? Or maybe even love for the enemy is provided for in our nature?
Tendryakov in his work gives the story of a fire in a German wartime hospital. The ongoing brutal war does not affect the manifestation of deep compassion and conscience by people. The author says that the tragic incident that happened before the eyes of many touched the heart of everyone, no one was left behind. V. Tendryakov in his text gives examples of the amazing empathy of enemies with each other and their help to comrades in difficult times.
My agreement with the text of the author leads to memories of the work of V. Zakrutkin "The Mother of Man" about the events of the Second World War and an excerpt from the novel "War and Peace". In the first case, the heroine of the work, despite her burning desire for revenge, forgives her enemy, who could be the murderer of her own son. Tolstoy's novel tells about the unused "human reserves": it describes the peaceful communication of Russian and French soldiers and their kind attitude towards each other, which, nevertheless, does not save them from the continuation of hostilities.
Tendryakov's text, which was offered to me for analysis, helped me come to the conclusion that the human always remains inside each of us and is only waiting for a convenient time to manifest itself, despite the drama of life situations.
28.04.2016Typical problems of the texts proposed for analysis in the essay-reasoning for the exam can be grouped into several blocks.

One can talk endlessly about the problems that can be raised in the texts of the Russian language exam. No, the exam is not that difficult. It's just that everything related to writing is always rather abstract and contradictory. And problems sometimes open the borders for fantasy. It is natural for a person to perceive the material by virtue of his education, in accordance with the level of intelligence and upbringing. Therefore, where one sees nothing, another can find a problem.
Experts who check the Russian language exam have materials in accordance with which points are given. The criteria for literacy are transparent: rules are rules, there are no controversial points here. Things are worse with the list of problems: the reviewers are provided with approximate range of problems. It usually presents the formulation of the main problems. Usually there are 3-4 of them. But experience shows that in most texts there are much more problems.
There is confusion. "What should I do if my problem is not on the list?" - this is the question that worries almost half of the graduates who have just left the exam. And after all, there is reason to worry, because everything that will happen next depends on the subjective opinion of an expert. Will the verifier see the problem you highlighted in the source text or not - that is the question. You can, but not "get" on the list of major problems. Therefore, it is better to rely on generally accepted formulations from the list of problems in writing the exam.
Types of problems in the composition of the exam format
With you can find in the relevant section of the site. The purpose of this page is to help you remember common phrases. To make it easier to work with problems, you need to break them into blocks. It will be great if you take the names of the blocks from this site and write in each problem from the list yourself.
Philosophical problems
They touch upon the development of nature, society and man. Often we are talking about the meaning of life, the interaction of man and culture, the historical path of society. This group of problems seems difficult to many due to the fact that the discussion of the above issues requires preparation and a certain type of thinking.
Social problems
Associated with the functioning of society. Often these are topical issues that are still relevant today: observance of human rights, social progress, strengthening the role of science in society. It is easy to write about the problems of this group, because each of us interacts with the social sphere of society.
Political issues
Relate to power within the state, political parties. They may be related to issues of war and peace, the choice of the path of reform or revolution. They change under the influence of time, adjusting to the requirements of society: for example, the problems of terrorism and nationalism are being actively discussed today.
moral issues
They are a product of the development of the spiritual sphere of society. Moral problems are associated with the assessment of situations and actions from the point of view of morality (good and evil). The true beauty of a person is discussed, there are talks about the true moral qualities of a person. This also includes the problems associated with the conflict of generations.
Environmental problems
The texts devoted to these problems speak of the beauty and richness of nature. The relationship and interdependence of man and nature, the emergence of environmental crises, the interaction of nature and human culture are discussed.
