How to write an argumentative essay?
A successful argumentative essay is first of all an argumentative essay with correct, distinct and novel views. Therefore, correct, distinctive and novel viewpoints are the premise and key to the success of argumentative writing. For this reason, when constructing an argumentative essay, we should first lay a good foundation, that is, try our best to make our article correct, distinctive and novel. How to make our articles correct, distinctive and novel can often become a difficult point for our senior two students to learn to write argumentative essays, and many students are at a loss about it. In this regard, I think our students may be able to overcome this difficulty through the following efforts.

First, comprehensively and accurately grasp the topic, grasp the discretion, and accurately extract the correct point of view.

The correct viewpoint contains two meanings: first, the viewpoint conforms to the proposer's proposition requirements and does not deviate from the topic; Second, the viewpoint conforms to objective reality, cognitive law and common sense.

Conforming to the requirements of composition proposition is the premise and key to correct views. To meet the requirements of composition proposition, students must grasp the topic accurately and comprehensively when writing. Topic is the topic and object of discussion. Any argumentative paper must be analyzed and discussed around a topic. Therefore, when writing, we must grasp what the proposer discusses and thinks for us, what problems we should think about, and then draw our own cognitive experience. Without a clear point of view, we should grasp the topical words or phrases in the topic for thinking. For example, in 2008, the Sichuan college entrance examination paper wrote a composition on the topic of "being strong". If you choose to write an argumentative essay, you should stick to the topic of "being strong", such as how should we view the strength in life? Do we know each other so strongly in our lives? What effect does being strong have on us? . . . . . Never turn it into "tenacity", let alone steal it into "firmness". For the topic composition, we must fully grasp and think closely about the topic, which cannot be ignored, changed or abandoned. For example, in 2008, the college entrance examination in Shandong took "Spring comes and grass grows green" as the topic of self-proposition composition. A key point in analyzing the relationship between spring and grass is "self". If we can analyze this topic so comprehensively and accurately, you may think, excerpt: 1. Success is natural; 2. Respect the law of growth, not demanding; 3. Persist and never give up; 4. Things always go through hardships; Good opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared and so on. You wouldn't have expanded the topic to "spring" or "grass". For material composition, the key is to fully understand and grasp the material, and not to take it out of context. This involves the examination method of material composition questions, which is more complicated. I want to discuss it in a special chapter in the future, and I can't elaborate here because of space limitations.

To put it correctly, it should not only conform to chance, but also make our refined views scientific and reasonable. Only a scientific and reasonable view is the correct view. This requires that the viewpoints we extract must conform to objective reality and objective laws. This requires us students to think about our understanding in an all-round way and whether our understanding has made a mistake of generalizing and exaggerating. This requires us to grasp the discretion when refining our views. If faced with the proposition of "strength", if you put forward that "strength is the premise of any career achievement", it is a bit too much and unscientific. Another example is the old adage that "opening a book is beneficial" and "approaching Zhu Zhechi". In fact, when we think about it, they are not correct. This view will be refuted by readers as soon as it is put forward. The fundamental reason is that when we refine our understanding of viewpoints, we don't grasp the discretion and talk too much. Therefore, it is a guarantee to have a correct viewpoint and a good proper limit, and not to overdo it.

Second, the structure of the article is scientific, highlighting the point of view so that the article has a clear point of view.

Correct viewpoint is the prerequisite for the success of argumentative writing, and clear viewpoint is the basic requirement for the success of argumentative writing. A clear point of view means that the author has a clear understanding of the topic, not ambiguity. The article requires readers to clearly understand what the basic point of the article is and what problems to discuss around it, instead of letting readers see the flowers in the fog and the moon in the water. Argumentative writing doesn't have to be obscure and beautiful. How to make your point clear?

First of all, the article should focus on one viewpoint, and multiple viewpoints (referring to the central argument) should not appear in one article. Many failed argumentative papers are due to multiple central arguments in one article. One minute to explain this point of view, one minute to discuss that understanding, so that readers are confused and confused, resulting in unclear views. Focusing on a central argument is a guarantee of clear views.

In addition, structuring the article scientifically, putting the viewpoint in a prominent position, and then highlighting the viewpoint is the key to clear viewpoint. After the viewpoint is clear, we should think about where to put the viewpoint sentence, when it appears, when it is stained, when it echoes, and when it is strengthened in the structure of the article. Generally, the topic is named at the beginning of the article, and it is more successful to put forward the argument at the end of the opening paragraph. At the beginning or end of each middle paragraph, point out the point, and the end echoes or strengthens. This ensures that every key viewpoint of the reader is influenced by that viewpoint. Such an article is also difficult to be vague. Therefore, scientific structure and emergent views are the key to clear views. Many successful articles in college entrance examination are aimed at making readers shine in this way. For example, the article "Living Poetically", which scored full marks in Hunan College Entrance Examination in 2007, puts forward the central argument that "people should live poetically". At the beginning of the three paragraphs in the main part of the article, the sub-arguments that "living poetically comes from people's inner harmony", "living poetically, people need to learn nourishment from reading" and "living poetically, people need to let nature soothe their impetuous hearts" are used to highlight their views. At the end, they are accompanied by When people gain wisdom and thinking from reading and seek comfort from nature, people can wrap up the full text and respond to the viewpoint as Liu Yuxi wrote in My Humble Room Inscription, so that the whole viewpoint is very clear and distinct.

Third, think from multiple angles, use innovative thinking, follow the crowd to bring forth the new and incubate new ideas.

The novelty of argumentative point of view is our unremitting pursuit in writing, and it is also a magic weapon for successful writing. Novelty means being different. Novelty is a true reflection of a student's active thinking and cognitive ability. Therefore, if your composition is novel, you will win the favor of readers. This is an important weight for your success. The same topic, viewed horizontally, is a mountain peak, with different life experiences, different insights and different understanding angles and depths of the same problem. When we students refine our opinions, we must understand the topic from different angles, explore it from different angles, and cut in from all directions according to this principle, so that you can find the truth that others can't find, refine the views that others can't refine, and form the understanding that others can't form. In this way, you can find a new way to write your own things, which is a new way of thinking different from others. This is especially valuable in exam composition. Because it can ensure that you can stand out from many mediocre and popular viewpoints, the marking teacher will definitely have a pair of bright eyes and a bright spirit in the aesthetic fatigue caused by you. Profound and novel compliments naturally formed at the end of his pen. For example, the essay "Creation Originated from Love for the World" in 2007 is profound and novel. Facing the topic of "creation", he linked it with "love", which should be said to be a great leap in thinking and a different kind of thinking. In fact, he just chose a relatively novel cutting-in angle, that is, the angle of motivation and reason of creation, which is often a relatively in-depth angle and difficult to pay attention to or pay attention to, and it is this angle that makes this composition appear profound and novel. Another example is the composition of Jiangxi in 2008. Most students may conceive their ideas from the perspective of revenge against nature or harmony between man and nature. This is a popular view and cannot produce novel artistic effects. If we can think from another angle, we may be able to stand out from the aesthetic fatigue of marking teachers from the perspective of "fearing nature" Therefore, multi-angle thinking and innovative thinking are important magic weapons to realize novel viewpoints.

Argumentative writing is a style that our senior two students focus on cultivating and creating. Students must carry out every step of argumentative writing training step by step. Only in this way can you construct a beautiful argumentative essay.
