Descriptive writing in
the Vietnamese language curriculum for 5th grade is an important type of
exercise that helps students observe, perceive, and express the world around
them in their own words. To make a composition vivid, rich in imagery, and full
of emotion, the use of rhetorical devices in general, and personification in
particular, plays a crucial role. In reality, many 5th-grade students do not
fully understand the characteristics of personification, leading to its
improper use or failure to fully exploit its expressive potential. Therefore,
developing a system of appropriate exercises to practice the use of
personification will help students improve their descriptive writing skills and
enhance their creative thinking.
With that significance in mind, the article “Developing a System of Exercises on Personification in Descriptive Landscape Writing for 5th-Grade Students in Vietnam” aims to build a diverse and scientifically structured set of exercises. These exercises will help students identify and understand personification in landscape descriptions, apply it flexibly and creatively in their writing, improve their expressive skills, and make their compositions more vivid.
