Argumentative writing is a style in which the author analyzes and comments on a certain issue or thing, and shows his own views, positions, attitudes, opinions and propositions. Argumentative writing has three elements, namely argument, argument and argument. The basic requirements of argumentation are: correct viewpoint, careful summary and practical significance; The basic requirements of argumentation are: true and reliable, fully typical; The basic requirement of argument is that reasoning must be logical.

The structure of English argumentative writing is generally fixed, which usually includes the following three parts:

1. Put forward the topics to be discussed in the introduction;

2. Discuss the issues raised in this paper;

3. In the conclusion, summarize and conclude the above discussion.

When writing an argumentative essay, you should consider the argument, what to use as an argument to prove it, how to demonstrate it, and then draw a conclusion. You can put forward a general argument first, then discuss it separately, analyze each sub-argument, and finally draw a conclusion; Or quote a story, a dialogue, or describe a scene first, then analyze the truth layer by layer and draw new conclusions; You can also ask a question that everyone cares about at the beginning of the article, and then answer it one by one, step by step; You can also compare two different things in the opposite way and come to a conclusion.

Specific writing should pay attention to the following points:

1. Bring up the topic and don't drag your feet.

You can use different methods when discussing. For example, you can put forward positive and negative views and compare them; You can also quote classics to prove the correctness of the author's own views and let readers accept their own views; You can also put forward a wrong view and then prove it wrong, and finally put forward a correct view. Text is the focus of writing, and the methods of argumentation can be induction, reasoning and comparison.

3. In the conclusion part, it is necessary to show the author's point of view and summarize the problems discussed.

4. Pay attention to the use of conjunctions and transitional words to enhance the organization and logic of the article. Commonly used transitional words and conjunctions are: first, second, third, finally, in addition, further, best, worse, more important, contrast, because, since, now, there, therefore, in that case, as a result/consensus, in short, summary and so on.

Shall we send our children to study abroad?

In recent years, as more and more people become rich, it has become a new trend for them to send their children abroad to study. But I don't know. I don't think this is a good idea. First of all, children are too young to take care of themselves. Secondly, language barrier is a serious problem. Many children were not proficient in this foreign language before going abroad. As a result, it is difficult for them to understand what native English speakers are saying. Third, they may get into trouble when dealing with various situations, because they lack understanding of foreign customs. Besides, the cost of living is much higher than in our country, which may put a heavy burden on families.

In a word, sending children to study abroad has more disadvantages. So, we? I had better not do it.
