2. Propose an argument at the beginning: briefly describe the material and lead to an argument (enlighten, enlighten, tell us, explain, let me understand, etc.). )

3. Argumentation process: the reasons for the turning of rhetorical questions (or other turning sentences or paragraphs). (For example, "We think there are three reasons ...")

4. Demonstration process: put forward reasons (sub-arguments) (the angles of sub-arguments should be different, the levels should not be repeated, and the evidence or nature or era or scope should be different; Evidence should be typical and accurate, including examples, metaphors, quotations and comparisons. The structure between sub-arguments can be juxtaposed, layered, compared, divided or aggregated, and various structural forms can be used comprehensively)

A ... (argument, evidence, analysis and comment)

Second ... (arguments, evidence, analysis and comments)

Third ... (arguments, evidence, analysis and comments)

5. Demonstration process: dialectical analysis is possible (common words: true … but …/although … but …/of course …).

6. Conclusion (solving problems, proposing methods, taking care of the beginning, etc. )

The Basic Structure of Argumentative Writing: Argumentative Writing Guidance

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

Example 1. "Layer by layer" type, first put forward arguments, then demonstrate step by step, gradually expand the truth, and finally summarize.

Example 2. "Positive and negative argument" type: first put forward the argument, then demonstrate it from the negative side, and then further discuss it from the positive side.

B. Horizontal type: a discussion structure developed side by side. For example, there is a "general theory-sub-theory-general theory" type, in which arguments are put forward first, then elaborated from several aspects, and finally summarized; 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.
