1. "Clarity" means to clarify the central argument at the beginning of the article. At the beginning, we must closely follow the main content and central idea of the full text in order to highlight the center.
2. "Concise", that is, the language should be concise, exquisite and not procrastinating, and it is best to get to the point. For example, tolerance is a noble quality, which requires people to be "pleasant, acceptable and tolerant." (On the topic of tolerance)
3. "Beauty" refers to the beauty at the beginning of the article, that is, you should have certain literary talent, ideas or skills (such as "setting suspense", "using allusions", "quoting famous sayings", "posing phenomenon" and "highlighting goals"). An ancient Greek saint once said, "Tolerance is the most beautiful flower in virtue." In the eyes of China ancients, tolerance is the sea. "A hundred rivers, tolerance is great." In my opinion, tolerance is a noble quality, which requires people to be "likable, acceptable and tolerant."
Second, the common compositions at the beginning of argumentative essays
1. Cut to the chase. In other words, the central argument of the article is put at the beginning, and then the argument is carried out layer by layer, and the main idea is suddenly clear. For example, "Talk about backbone" and "We China people have backbone." Cut to the chase, get to the point, show the central point, be concise and clear.
2. Explain the topic as a style. Explaining the title into the article means explaining and expounding the meaning of the title or related concepts at the beginning of the article and expressing your own views. This kind of opening is concise and clear, and sometimes it can clearly show the author's thinking depth. Gratitude is a philosophy of life, an attitude towards life, an excellent quality and a moral sentiment. ("Talking about Gratitude")
3. The metaphor is brilliant. Explain profound truth with simple and common things and make it simple. It can make reasoning plain, vivid, abstract and concrete, enhance the visualization and agility of reasoning, and enhance the appeal of reasoning. Exodus: conceit is like a quagmire, and it is difficult to extricate yourself if you get stuck in it; Inferiority, like a match affected by the tide, is difficult to ignite the fire of hope. Therefore, we can neither be conceited nor feel inferior. (conceit and inferiority)
4. Parallelism. The use of parallelism can achieve the effect of showing momentum and flaunting literary talent, but we should pay attention to sticking to the theme, not comparing for parallelism, but literary talent for literary talent, which will damage the meaning; At the same time, we should pay more attention to the logical level between clauses, otherwise the beginning will be chaotic. Example: the spirit of scientists has enabled them to climb the academic peak; The spirit of workers makes them not afraid of hard conditions; The spirit of students makes us full of vitality. Spirit, when it represents the tenacious will and broad spirit of human beings, is an unchangeable virtue since ancient times and an eternal classic ethics! (Talking about Emotion)
5. Quote famous sayings. Quoting famous sentences can enrich the text and deepen the theme. But when the famous quote you quoted seems to have little connection with the central argument, you must add a transitional language between the quoted famous quote and the argument (as mentioned in the above example, after quoting the famous quote, excessively add "in my opinion"). At the same time, we should also pay attention to the accuracy and authenticity of quotations. Xi Murong said, "Life is a running river, and we are all people crossing it." The left bank of the river of life is forgetting, and the right bank of the river of life is memory. Only when we shuttle between the left bank and the right bank in our unique boat do we know-forget what should be forgotten and remember what should be remembered. (On the Embankment of Forgetting and Memory)
6. Comparative introduction. The use of comparative introduction can directly help people to judge the advantages and disadvantages, advantages and disadvantages, and quickly enter the topic of discussion. Exodus: At all times and all over the world, people who have achieved something in their careers have earned it with hard work. On the contrary, lazy and fatuous people rarely achieve anything. From this, we can say that diligence leads to success and laziness leads to failure. ("Speak frequently")
7. Ask questions from the beginning. That is, at the beginning of the article, first ask questions about the issues to be discussed, and then put forward your own views when answering questions. Everyone has a love of beauty. As young people in the new era, what kind of beauty should we pursue? Chernyshevski said, "Beauty is life." People live in beautiful language, beautiful behavior, beautiful mind and beautiful lifestyle, which is the most important beauty we pursue. "("What kind of beauty should young people pursue? 》
Thirdly, taking "tolerance" as the theme, the argumentative essay begins with examples.
The ancient Greek sages once said, "Tolerance is the most beautiful flower among virtues." In the eyes of China ancients, tolerance is the sea. "A hundred rivers, tolerance is great." In my opinion, tolerance is a noble quality, which requires people to be "likable, acceptable and tolerant." Tolerance is a breeze in the hot summer, which gives people a bone-chilling refreshing feeling; Tolerance is also accompanied by a vigorous charcoal fire in the cold winter of the north wind, which makes people feel the warm current from the bottom of their hearts. Tolerance is the noblest virtue.
