1. Argumentative writing usually adopts the method of putting facts and reasoning.
Putting facts is what we call an example; Reasoning includes not only reasoning with rational arguments, but also some truths directly told by the author himself.
Let's look at an argumentative essay and find out how the author demonstrates it.
Start with a famous saying
"Everything is wrong, Yu Lao" says: "Self-victory is strength." Although the person who said this sentence lived in the Warring States period more than 2,000 years ago, the brilliant idea in this sentence is still of great significance: be brave enough to defeat yourself.
Overcoming ourselves can lead us to the peak of our lives.
Overcoming self is first of all to overcome inner inferiority and timidity. Li Yangben is a student who has difficulty speaking even in front of people. In order to practice his spoken English well, he goes to Jingshan to practice his pronunciation every day, and also exercises his courage. Finally, he overcame his inferiority complex and created a learning method of "Crazy English", which brought good news to "Dumb English". One's life is a process from ignorance to knowledge. Inferiority is the enemy of life. Only by overcoming it can we remove the obstacles on the road ahead, constantly improve ourselves and realize our own value.
Overcoming self is more reflected in overcoming the temptation brought by fame and fortune. Hemingway once said: No one can beat you except yourself. Flowers and applause swarmed after becoming famous, which easily made people lose themselves and their life coordinates. Lennitz, the founder of calculus, became famous and lay on the hotbed of success, indulging in the textual research of aristocratic genealogy. After becoming famous, Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, became notorious for constantly suppressing other people's inventions and research. Most Nobel Prize winners have also experienced stagnation or even retrogression after winning the prize. The tragedy of these celebrities is that achievement is their culmination and applause is their death knell. Of course, there are also many successful examples: Madame Curie was the first scientist to win the Nobel Prize twice in history, probably because of her indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune. For a real winner, defeating yourself means the glory of innovation.
Overcoming oneself is not only of great significance to individuals, but also creates an immortal miracle in human history.
In sports history, 38-year-old redgrave has won the rowing championship five times since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This unprecedented record stems from the self-transcendence of veterans again and again. As early as ten years ago, 10 second was considered as the limit of human 100 meter sprint, and now the world record is close to 9 seconds. Man's potential is infinite, and to conquer himself is to excavate the treasure hidden in man.
In the history of music, Beethoven was deaf in middle age, but he dared to overcome himself. Ode to Joy is the strongest voice in his life, adding a magnificent and exciting page to the whole gorgeous music history.
In the history of literature, Tolstoy overcame his personal depression and loneliness, devoted himself to writing, and died in an unknown station, leaving a masterpiece and handed down articles for future generations.
It can be seen that the process of overcoming self is the process of continuous self-improvement and the source of power to promote the progress of human society.
"The difficulty of ambition lies not in winning, but in winning. Therefore, self-victory is powerful. " The words of the sages linger in my ears. We want to be a strong man, a strong man standing in the East and even the world. I hope each of us has the belief of "overcoming ourselves".
This is an excellent student composition. Introduction Some authors draw their own arguments from Han Feizi: We should be brave enough to defeat ourselves. In this part, the author demonstrates the importance of "overcoming self" from both personal and social aspects. The conclusion part refers to the previous article. The clarity of the structure makes the article clear at a glance, while the methods of "putting facts" and "reasoning" in the argumentation part make the article more convincing. The author cited Li Yang, Linitz, Watt, Madame Curie and other examples to demonstrate the significance of overcoming self to individuals. Redgrave, Beethoven, Tolstoy and other examples are cited to demonstrate the significance of overcoming self to human beings. The author also cited famous sayings of Han Feizi, Hemingway and other celebrities, and through his own simple and in-depth truth, he strongly demonstrated the argument with "putting facts".
2. Strict logic is the basic requirement of argument.
Argumentative writing itself is to express one's views and opinions through one's own argumentation, and the process of argumentation is also a logical thinking process of proving arguments with arguments. If there are loopholes in reasoning in this process, the argument will be untenable and the argument process will fail.
For example, there is a saying that "life is choice", and a person's life is a process of constant choice in society. However, if we take this as an argument, we must pay attention to the other hand, that is, when life chooses society, society is also choosing life. If this point is ignored, there may be an imprecise reasoning process. On the other hand, the reasoning is the same. Let's look at a related article and experience the rigor of the argument.
Society is also choosing you.
Some people say, "Life is a choice". There is some truth in this statement. People do face many choices in life. Everyone's present situation is related to his past choices, and his future is also related to his choices today. It can be said that after a person has the ability to think independently, he should consciously make choices in every step of his life. However, personal subjective choice is one thing. Whether the choice can be allowed by society and whether it can be successful is another matter. In real life, the individual's subjective desire is inconsistent with the needs of society, and not everyone's choice has been realized. This situation is universal. For example, some young people want to be a professional writer, studying hard all day, working hard on square paper, and finally can't see their works become type, so they have to change their ways and find another way. What's the reason? It's just that his quality is far from that of a writer, and he can't meet the requirements of society for literary talents. It can be seen that the choice between individuals and society is mutual. You should choose your own career and working environment in society according to your own wishes, and society should also screen individuals according to the needs of its own development to survive the fittest. Just like taking the college entrance examination, everyone has their own wishes, but whether they can get the list depends on the choice of society.
Throughout history, people's successful choices are different, but at least one thing is the same, that is, they should adapt to the social needs at that time, conform to the trend of the times, and adjust their goals appropriately according to the development and changes of objective conditions. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao wrote that his early interest was only to be a county magistrate. Later, he was recruited as a riding captain and changed to a commanding officer, but his ambition was nothing more than a title. Later, when Dong Zhuo made an insurrection and the rebel army rose, he became prime minister. "People and ministers are extremely expensive, and their period has passed" (that is, beyond their original ambition). Although this statement is not without self-esteem, it is also in line with the actual situation at that time. It is said that times make heroes. In recent years, many young people advocate that "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers", but they don't know that every army will have more soldiers in Serenade. So how can there be so many "generals" who are good? If we advocate that every soldier should be a general, it will not only fail, but also lead people astray and deviate from the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. I remember a leading comrade of our army recalled that when he participated in the revolution, his greatest wish was to eat and wear warm clothes and not be bullied by others. He didn't think about any big official, but the people chose me and pushed me to the leadership position. This simple sentence contains profound philosophy, which is of great guiding significance for us to understand the relationship between personal choice and social choice, grasp ourselves and adapt to society.
Emphasizing the important role of social choice in personal development is not to deny personal subjective will. Only if you are ambitious can you make a difference. People without ambition will never succeed one day. Young people's thoughts should be floating clouds. A person should choose his own goals from his youth and make unremitting efforts for them on the premise of obeying the needs of society. Only in this way can we be closer to the requirements of society for talents in a certain line and industry and make ourselves the first choice of society. Therefore, understanding the relationship between personal choice and social choice will not hinder us from exerting our subjective initiative, but will be more conducive to reducing the blindness of life choice, enhancing our consciousness, making our choices consistent with social needs, constantly improving our own quality, giving full play to our intelligence, benefiting society more effectively and perfecting ourselves.
From the novelty analysis of the argument, the argument in this paper reveals the other side of a problem and handles it well; From the comprehensive analysis of arguments, "society is also choosing you" can easily go to the other extreme, ignoring individual initiative. The argument itself is more difficult because it is new. In the article, the author first draws the conclusion that "individuals choose the society at the same time, and then analyzes the experiences of successful people from a historical perspective, and demonstrates the argument by putting facts and reasoning." In the last paragraph, the author affirmed the role of individual subjective will and made the argument more rigorous from another side. The more novel this kind of argumentative paper is, the more rigorous argumentation process is needed.
3. This part is the main body of the argumentative paper, and the development of the argumentative paper should pay attention to the rules and regulations.
According to the differences of arguments and arguments and the specific situation of writing and thinking, choose different ways to demonstrate. For example, we talked about parallel, comparative, progressive and so on.
