Materials and logical reasoning to clarify their views, indicating whether they are for or against. Three elements of argumentative writing: 1. Argument: It is the soul and commander-in-chief of an article. Any article has only one central argument, and usually there can be sub-arguments. The argument should be correct, clear and general, and it is a complete judgment sentence. Never be ambiguous. There are generally four positions of arguments: ① the beginning of the title; 3 in the middle of the article; 4 at the end; 2. Arguments The materials used to prove arguments include factual arguments and theoretical arguments. Attention should be paid to the choice of factual arguments: ① It must be typical. Both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Most people know it, at least in newspapers and TV. (2) It's better to be fresh. The statement of the argument should be accurate, the narrative should be summarized, and the argument should be proved. Pay attention to the rational arguments: ① They can be famous sayings, epigrams, proverbs, theorems, formulas, etc. (2) To be accurate and not to be tampered with or distorted. (3) It is necessarily related to the argument and can prove the argument. 3. Argumentation: the process of proving an argument with arguments. ① Basic types of argumentation: argumentation and refutation. Argument is discussed from the front, and rebuttal is discussed from the opposite side. We usually write argumentative essays mainly based on arguments. ② The basic structural level of argument: syllogism structure. Put forward the question (what is it) → analyze the question (why) → solve the problem (how to do it), that is, introduce the common argumentation structure of this theoretical conclusion: A, summation structure B, contrast structure C, hierarchical structure D, juxtaposition structure ③ Common argumentation methods: A, exemplification (also called exemplification): use typical cases as arguments to prove the argument, as the saying goes, facts speak louder than words. B. Quoting (also called reasoning) can not only quote the theoretical arguments introduced above, but also quote some famous sentences in classical poetry. On the one hand, it can strengthen the power of argument; On the other hand, it can enrich the content of the article and enhance the literariness of the argumentative paper. C. Contrastive argumentation (also called positive and negative argumentation): This method can enhance the significance of argumentation and let readers know what the author is for and against. D. Metaphorical proof (also called metaphorical argument) enhances the vividness, literariness and persuasiveness of the argument of works. Prose: (It is a wonderful flower in literature! There are two concepts: broad sense and narrow sense. Prose in a broad sense refers to all articles that do not rhyme in ancient times. In other words, prose is called prose, as opposed to verse and parallel prose, that is, all literary works and non-literary works are called prose except poems, words, songs and fu.

However, there was no such name as "prose" in ancient times; The name "Prose" came into being during the May 4th Movement. In modern times, prose in a broad sense includes all narrative, argumentative and lyrical styles except poetry, novel, drama and film and television literature. For example, Qin Mu said in "Generalized Prose Field" that "all short essays that do not belong to other literary genres but have literary flavor belong to the category of prose". In this way, there is a classification of lyric prose, narrative prose and argumentative prose. Prose in a narrow sense refers to lyric prose. This is because with the development of style, the communication characteristics, biographical literature and reportage in narrative prose have all developed into independent styles, each of which has become a category; Argumentative essay has a special name-prose, which is also separated from prose, leaving only lyric prose, that is, narrow prose. Main features of prose

1. The shape is scattered but the spirit is not scattered.

"Form and dispersion" mainly means that prose is widely used and free, and is not limited by time and space; Expression techniques are not limited to one pattern: it can describe the development of events, describe characters, convey feelings with things, and make comments. The author can freely adjust and change according to the needs of the content. "Distraction" mainly comes from the intention of prose, that is, the theme to be expressed in prose must be clear and concentrated, no matter how extensive the content of prose is and how flexible the expression is, it serves to better express the theme.

In order to be scattered in shape but not in spirit, we should pay attention to the internal relationship between materials and central ideas in material selection, so that materials can run through an organic whole with certain clues in structure. Common clues in prose are: (1) taking things with profound or symbolic significance as clues; ⑵ Taking the "I" in the works as a clue and "I" as a clue, because I wrote what I saw, heard, thought and felt, and Kan Kan and Kan Kan talked freely, making readers feel more real, cordial and touching.

2. Deep artistic conception, paying attention to expressing the author's life feelings, strong lyricism and sincere emotion.

With the help of imagination and association, the author writes from the superficial to the deep, from the real to the imaginary, in turn, which can integrate feelings into the scenery, send feelings to help each other, express the author's true feelings, realize the unity of things and me, show more profound thoughts and make readers understand more profound truths.

3. Beautiful and concise language, rich in literary talent.
