Argumentative writing is an article to prove an argument, and the most important job in writing an argumentative writing is of course to demonstrate a good argument. However, while attaching importance to argumentation, we should not neglect how to put forward argumentation.
Practice has proved that putting forward an argument artistically can make the argument stand out, leave a deep impression on readers and add icing on the cake to the whole article. This paper introduces ten methods of putting forward arguments for beginners' reference.
First, put forward arguments in causal analysis.
We often say that everything happens for a reason. It can be seen that causality is closely related: cause is the basis of effect, and effect is the necessity of cause. Putting forward an argument in causal analysis is to find out the relationship between the argument and a specific "cause" from the complex relationship of things, and make a rational analysis, and then naturally lead to the argument.
In this way, it can not only make the argument an inevitable conclusion, but also reveal the special significance of the argument and attract readers' special attention. If Deng Xiaoping wants to absorb international experience, the title of the article is the argument of this article. In order to lead to this argument, the author begins like this:
We are carrying out reform in a big poor country, which has no precedent in the world. We have been engaged in construction for more than 30 years, and we have both successful experiences and failed lessons. But we can't solve the problem by our own experience and lessons. If China wants to develop and get rid of poverty and backwardness, it must open to the outside world. Opening up is not only to develop international exchanges, but also to absorb international experience.
There is no precedent and experience is needed; Lack of experience, we should learn from experience; "If China wants to seek development and get rid of poverty and backwardness", it must absorb international experience. In China, which has been closed to the outside world for decades, the idea of "absorbing international experience" is itself a very loud argument. Relying on a loud argument and a simple and clear reason, it suddenly highlights its far-reaching significance.
Second, put forward arguments in the background analysis.
Background is the historical or realistic environmental climate of the development and change of things, which has a decisive influence on the development and change of things. Therefore, we can say that the background is the soil for the argument. If we can put forward the argument in combination with background analysis, we will have a solid objective foundation and show its inevitability.
For example, the article "Comprehensive Reform of Moral Education in Middle Schools" puts forward the argument: "In recent years, the ideological and political education in middle schools has made progress and reform, and the ideological and moral quality of students has changed significantly, and the mainstream is good. However, on the whole, moral education has not received due attention, the measures are not strong enough, and the team is not sound enough.
There are still many problems in the quality of students' ideological and moral education, and the overall work can not meet the needs of socialist modernization and needs to be reformed urgently. Through the analysis of the present situation of moral education in middle schools in recent years, especially the existing problems, it is inevitable to draw the conclusion that there is an urgent need for reform. It is really natural to put forward such an argument.
Third, put forward arguments in the task.
The most representative article that puts forward an argument in this way is Lenin's The Task of the Youth League. In the task of the youth league, Lenin took the call to learn from the youth as the central argument, but before putting forward this argument, Lenin used more words to explain the great mission faced by the youth: "a generation of workers trained from capitalist society."
At most, it can only destroy the foundation of the old capitalist lifestyle based on exploitation. At most, they can only establish such a social structure to help the proletariat and the working class maintain political power and lay a solid foundation. As for building on this basis, it is only under new conditions.
That is, under the condition that the exploitative relationship between people no longer exists, it will be borne by the generation who participated in the work. "This generation is young. So how can young people live up to their great trust and fulfill their historical responsibilities?
