The Structure of TOEFL Writing Viewpoint
Opening paragraph:

First, candidates can briefly introduce the beginning of today's topic in chronological order, from the past to the present.

Let readers know the historical background of this topic because of or. Now that the historical background of this topic is mentioned, the next part is natural.

But this has led to the status quo. In describing the current situation, candidates are advised to use some real-life phenomena, examples, facts and even data.

The status quo of the topic has been enriched to a certain extent. For example, as far as the above topics are concerned, it can be said that the current environment has become very bad:

Desertification, water shortage, global warming, more frequent abnormal climate and so on. After the background phenomenon is released, candidates should release their own views.

Here it comes. Basically, in the last sentence of the opening, you state your position. This constitutes a complete argumentative essay at the beginning.

Main part:

The first main paragraph in the composition needs to support your overall point of view. In this paragraph, candidates always need to come up with two sub-arguments to write a.

An article of more than one hundred words. According to the average student's English performance level, this paragraph always needs ten sentences. So it's basically ten to ten in one sentence.

About two words. According to the principle of equal distribution of two sub-arguments (this is not necessary, see the topic. If the first sub-argument is relatively large, candidates can appropriately narrow the content of the second sub-argument. On average, each argument needs five sentences. Basically, the first sentence needs to summarize the argument, and then the next four sentences provide support and expansion. Many candidates usually have a wrong attitude when writing in the main paragraph, that is, they think their arguments are correct and there is no dispute. But in fact, their own arguments are often worthy of scrutiny. Therefore, the first task of the candidates in the last four sentences is to prove that their arguments are correct. For example, the topic is what are the benefits of cars? The first reaction of many candidates when they see this topic is that the car is very convenient. Most people take for granted the idea that cars can bring convenience.

But is this really the case? Parking spaces are getting harder and harder to find now; Traffic accidents are increasing; Traffic jams have become commonplace. Therefore, cars may not bring convenience to people. Then in this part, candidates need some support and argumentation. At the same time, the argumentation of argumentative papers needs

There are examples to prove it. Examples interspersed in argumentative essays are used to prove the accuracy and persuasiveness of the argument. Many candidates become examples in writing for the sake of examples, and many examples have nothing to do with this argument, or even run counter to it. If this is the case, it will not play such a role. Therefore, examples must serve the argument. There are still many mistakes that candidates will make, but they like to list many examples. In fact, this is counterproductive. The thinking of candidates is that the more you say, the better; The examiner's idea is either not to say it or to say it in detail, carefully and concretely. Therefore, it is suggested that candidates only give one example for each argument, but it should be detailed.

Next, we enter the second main part. The main intention of this paragraph is to consider objections. Many candidates may want to know why they should consider opposing views. In fact, the reason is very simple. The most important thing for candidates in argumentative essays is to show their maturity. In other words,

Is to think about the problem from many different angles. If the candidate's argument only starts from one aspect, it shows that the candidate's thinking is very one-sided and he can't consider an argument completely.

Therefore, candidates should introduce the opposing arguments and the opposing arguments in this paragraph. The whole paragraph only needs about 70-80 words.

Closing paragraph:

First of all, summarize the general point of view and be consistent. Second, look to the future. In the last part, candidates only need to make a prediction or outlook on the future development of this topic. Just keep the ending at 30-40 words.
