What are the paragraph structures of argumentative essays?
Argumentative structure

1. The basic structure is to ask questions (introduction), analyze problems (theory) and solve problems (conclusion).

It can be divided into two categories.

A. vertical style: discuss the structure step by step.

Example 1. "Layer by layer deepening" type, first put forward the argument, then demonstrate it from the opposite side, and then further discuss it from the front.

Example 2. "start recording, turn around" style: break the topic at the beginning and lead to discussion; Then take the lead and explain the problems discussed; "Turn" is a double proof argument from all angles; In the final analysis, it is "combination."

B. horizontal style: parallel expanded discourse structure

For example:

There is a kind of "general-sub-theory-general" style, which first puts forward the argument, then expounds it from several aspects and finally summarizes it;

There is a style of "general theory-divided theory", which first puts forward arguments and then demonstrates them from several aspects.

There is a style of "divided theory-general theory". The things to be discussed are always analyzed in several aspects, and then a comprehensive conclusion is drawn.

In a word, to analyze the structure of an argumentative essay, we should first understand the internal relationship between paragraph levels, and also pay attention to the transitional paragraphs, transitional sentences and transitional words that serve as a link between the preceding and the following.

Common exam questions:

(1) Find the argument and summarize it (person name+event name+argument attribute)

(2) Argument function (providing arguments or sub-arguments)

Specifically, such as:

(1) Factual argument: Demonstrate the viewpoint truly and forcefully.

(2) Theoretical argumentation: enhance the persuasiveness of the article and reflect the characteristics of accurate and rigorous language.

(3) Comparative demonstration: through the comparison between _ _ _ and _ _ _, highlight the point of view. Prove this point more forcefully.

④ Metaphorical argument: use _ _ to compare _ _ to make the viewpoint vivid and easy to understand.

The specific context should be analyzed concretely.

(3) supplement the arguments according to the arguments (function: make the arguments more comprehensive, powerful and universal)

(4) Anti-inference point

(5) Analyze whether the arguments used in the paragraph are appropriate (query: attribute, comprehensiveness, typicality and echo relationship)
