Do the reading questions of argumentative essays. First, identify the argument: the argument should be a clear judgment, a complete statement of the author's point of view, and a complete sentence in form. The title of some articles is the central argument, such as (saving and cultivating morality). Some articles put forward arguments at the beginning, such as "weak backbone" and "we China people have backbones" at the beginning. The central argument of some articles appears at the end of the article. Some articles put forward the central points in the discussion process, such as thinking and doing. There are also some articles that don't pay much attention to the statement of arguments. This should be summarized in clear sentences.

In addition to the above analysis of the position of the argument in the article to find the failure point, you can also use the following methods: 1 Analyzing the content of the article helps to find out the argument. 2. Analyzing arguments helps to find them. Because an argument proves an argument, analyze this argument and see what it proves. This question is an argument. 3。 Analyzing the topic helps to find the argument. Pay attention to the difference: some titles are not arguments, but topics. For example, talking about bones is a topic, not an argument. But it contains arguments, which can often be found as clues. "Weak backbone" is a verb-object phrase with the head word "tan", which means that the main content of the article is "backbone". Obviously, "honesty" is a metaphor to describe "integrity", so it can be inferred that this article is to discuss the issue of "honesty", and the argument is that "we China people are honest".

Second, analysis and demonstration: 1. Distinguish between factual argument and rational argument. Find out what this argument is used to prove.

Third, clear argumentation methods: clear what methods are used in the article, such as example argumentation, truth argumentation, metaphor argumentation, contrast argumentation, etc. Among them, examples are better to distinguish. The general rule of reasoning is to use famous sayings as arguments. Metaphorical argumentation refers to the metaphorical rhetorical devices used in argumentation statements. Comparative argument generally needs to find out both positive and negative arguments.

Fourth, analyze the structure of the article: the general structure of an argumentative article is to ask questions-analyze problems-solve problems (that is, introduction-theory-conclusion). It is necessary to clarify the thinking of the article: first look at the questions raised at the beginning, analyze and demonstrate from several aspects, and focus on which aspect, and then further study the reasons for this arrangement.

Fifth, analyze the linguistic features of argumentative writing: pay attention to understanding and summarizing rich keywords. The language of argumentative essays is often general, and the rich content is expressed in abstract words. take for example

6. Reading argumentative essays also involves basic knowledge such as pronunciation, words and sentence meaning understanding. Be a conscientious person at ordinary times, accumulate words at any time, try to figure out and understand interesting sentences. This kind of content appears in the examination questions and should be understood from the content of the article, especially the center of the article.

Seventh, we must grasp it as a whole. Read the complete text before answering the question, and sometimes you even need to read it twice to really understand it. Just look. The answer will be accurate.
