《2026年水木金卷高考模拟试卷精编英语》

D
Anybody can write. I believe it as much as I believe that nobody is boring. Are people writing more? I believe so. There is a lot of writing going on. All kinds of writing—amateur writing, professional writing, creative writing, boring writing, etc. "Enthusiastic reader" is hardly a thing anymore. "Storyteller", "published author" and "productive blogger" are words that decorate people's bio more often. The trend of listing what one is reading has been replaced by listing self - authored articles.
Reading is unavoidable. Reading generates the road map for a society's progress. But then why write? The most substantial reason could be ease of Expression, Record, and Reach. Enabled by present - day technology, the ease of Record (digitally saved forever) and Reach (to readers anywhere in the world) are undoubtedly the more straightforward motivations to write. But ease of Expression? We perhaps partly owe that to technology too. The social shaping (e.g. messaging behaviors) caused by technology has resulted in the breakdown of structures and rules of writing to a great extent, if not entirely, thus freeing up the technique of writing like music and art. Consequently, writing in all forms (short, long), structures (words, graphics, sound), and shapes (books, blogs, posts, tweets, open letters) has appeared like a movement.
Writing is a promise. It is a promise to deliver not just pleasure, information, or inspiration; it is a promise to care. Writing can be intrusive (侵扰的). It can even be rude, as Joan Didion puts it in her essay Why I Write. The readers are the victims of the writer's thoughts and views. But that's how writers challenge the readers to think, look around and push back.
Even after we have managed to ease the disciplinary demands of good literature, it still wouldn't take the pain away from writing because thinking is the pain point of writing. We have to make things up or think about things we see. One could be as local, raw, and not remain preoccupied with presenting a stylized piece of sentence and still find a platform to write. But let us ensure we don't ever give up thinking and never make writing completely painless.
