Want to know the writing skills of argumentative writing? Argumentative writing is a topic we often write at school. Writing composition is believed to be a headache for many students. How to get high marks for argumentative writing? Let's take a look at the writing skills of argumentative essays.
Argumentative writing skills 1 1. 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.
Arguments should be clear, accurate and general, and never be ambiguous or unpredictable. There are generally four kinds of positions in the debate:
(1) the title such as "transform our study"
(2) Opening remarks such as "changing our learning style"
(3) Intermediate articles, such as "Taking Doctrine" and "On Accumulation and Storage"
(4) At the end, such as "On Qin", "Benevolence is not applied, and the offensive and defensive trends are different."
2. Arguments The materials used to prove arguments include factual arguments and theoretical arguments. Facts speak with facts, and theoretical arguments win with classics. The argument must revolve around the central argument, which is the most basic requirement. If the selected examples are inconsistent with the arguments, it will inevitably weaken the persuasiveness. For example, if memory can be transplanted in the composition of 1999 college entrance examination, we must make clear the difference between "memory" and "memory" when writing argumentative essays. Some candidates' examples obviously made the mistake of separating arguments from arguments, and quoted Guo Moruo's example of A Dream of Red Mansions backwards, which greatly reduced their persuasiveness.
When choosing factual arguments, there are several points to pay attention to:
Parameters must be typical.
Typical means that the argument should be representative.
(2) The argument must be novel. Many students' argumentative writing is inseparable from some old examples. For example, writing about the relationship between failure and success seems to be inseparable from Edison's invention of the light bulb. To write about adversity, you have to write about Zhang Haidi. Similar content does not mean that you can't use it, but that you use it, others use it, and everyone uses it. Whose composition is different?
(3) The statement of the argument should be concise, which is different from the narrative. It only needs to express the content related to the argument.
3. Argumentative writing is an important part of argumentative writing, which contains a lot of content.
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 problem (what is it) → analyze the problem (why) → solve the problem (how to do it)
Namely: introduce the conclusion of this theory.
General parameter structure:
A, summation structure b, control structure c, progressive structure d and parallel structure
The flexible use of the multi-level argumentation structure between paragraphs and sentences in the article will make the argumentative paper more active.
③ Common demonstration methods:
First, the example method, using typical cases as arguments to prove the argument.
Brief Writing and Repeated Writing: The fragment of "Song Wu Beats the Tiger" in Water Margin, the mountain temple in Jingyanggang, and the "broken" scenes that make the realm desolate are all displayed one by one. The two words here are millions of words, which can be described as extremely simple. In the same work, when the author writes about the benefits of many strokes, he cites the examples in the short story "Social Drama", which has to be said to be extremely typical.
When using examples, we should pay attention to the method of case narration. Pay attention to the order of several parallel cases and the arrangement of details. Write well-known materials, and write detailed materials that are not well-known.
Metaphor strengthens the image demonstration of the works.
When using metaphor, we should pay attention to the similarity between ontology and vehicle. Lu Xun's "takenism" compares cultural heritage to a big house, and lists a young man's attitude towards a big house to express the author's attitude towards cultural heritage, which is vivid and impressive.
C. Comparative argumentation: This method can enhance the significance of argumentation and make readers know what the author is for and against.
Argumentative writing skills 2 1, find arguments and summarize the main points
(1) Search for arguments according to the topics determined during the examination.
To find factual arguments, we should not only pay attention to historical factual materials, but also pay attention to realistic materials, instead of cherishing the past and the present.
② Extract the central argument and sub-arguments from the argument materials, and screen the arguments according to the arguments.
If the central argument has been initially drawn up during the examination, but it is difficult to find materials to prove the central argument or a sub-argument, it is necessary to re-establish the central argument or sub-argument according to the materials you have mastered. If we continue to use the original central argument or sub-argument, it may make the article look weak because of lack of arguments, and it may also lead to the error that the arguments cannot prove the arguments, and may even be in danger of wrong opinions.
Step 2 set the mode
① The structural model of syllogism is basically adopted.
There is no fixed method for writing, and both beginners and candidates should learn methods. Candidates should take the simplest way to lay out their compositions, so as to ensure that they can quickly conceive, enter the questions and open the "window" in the examination room and achieve beautiful writing.
⑴ "syllogism" consists of three parts: introduction, theory and conclusion.
Generally speaking, "introduction" is the beginning, which asks the question (topic or central argument) "what is it"; "Ontology" is an ontological part, so we should analyze the question of "why". "Conclusion" is the last part, which aims to solve the problem of "how to do it".
(2) There are three criteria for establishing a good structural framework:
① The "Three Theories" (introduction, theory and conclusion) are complete and the structure is complete.
(2) The layout is compact, the paragraphs are clear, and the upper and lower parts are naturally connected.
③ The full text is smooth at the beginning and the end of the paragraph echoes. Focus on the argument.
Although the "syllogism" model basically standardizes argumentative writing and argumentative writing, writers can still create various structural models to express their thoughts on the basis of syllogism.
