How to write argumentative and explanatory essays? It's really troublesome,
Stylistic features-clarity and consistency.

The basic task of argumentative writing is to make sense, and it should be written in the framework of "introduction-theory-conclusion", with arguments in the middle, so that the central argument can be proved after the arguments are combined.

Seek the method of writing-clear mind and clear eyes.

Use of materials-fresh, typical and properly analyzed.

It is best to choose famous real people and stories in contemporary social life as arguments, and strive to achieve two things: people have no me and people have my essence. It is best to avoid the series of Sima Qian, Tao Yuanming and Su Dongpo, which are far away from reality and easy to "crash", and choose the series of Hong Zhanhui, Tai Lihua and Xu Benyu, which are highly recognized by people and not far from the candidates' own age. When using arguments, we try to quote one or two sentences from the characters' own language or celebrity's evaluation, so as to more fully convey the highlights of the characters' spiritual quality. The narrative language should be highly concise, and don't forget to analyze it after the narrative. Through careful analysis, we should use the well-known materials with individuality and depth.

Paragraph arrangement-appropriate number and length.

The number and length of paragraphs will form the rhythm of the article. By controlling the number of paragraphs and the length of each paragraph, candidates can influence the reading rhythm of reviewers like waving a baton. If there are too many paragraphs in an argumentative essay, it will make the article appear to be thinking jump and illogical. For an argumentative essay, the number of paragraphs should be 4 to 7. The number of paragraphs in a narrative can be a little more, and important dialogues can even be divided into separate paragraphs. However, due to the limitation of words, too many paragraphs will hinder the information content of the article. Some important sentences, if placed in proper positions and divided into paragraphs, will not only make the sentences themselves particularly eye-catching, but also make the marking teacher adjust his thinking after reading a large paragraph. Therefore, the proper use of a sentence paragraph can show the "sophistication" of candidates' writing skills and add a lot of color to the article.

Words and phrases are dotted-the quality is equal and each has its own position. "Word" refers to the key words in the topic, and "sentence" refers to the topic sentence (the central argument and sub-argument sentence in the argumentative text, the lyric argument sentence in the narrative text) or wonderful sentence. If you choose to write an argumentative paper, candidates can give themselves a "hard task"-topic keywords should appear in each paragraph, forcing themselves never to deviate from the topic from the technical level. If you want to increase the literary grace of argumentative writing, you can consciously design some distinctive sentences in the first and last paragraphs, such as metaphor sentences, antithesis sentences, parallelism sentences and so on. In short, the general principle of dyeing words is: keywords should have enough "appearances" and the best sentences should appear in the most conspicuous places.
