The commonly used structures of argumentative essays are total score structure, parallel structure, progressive structure and contrast structure. Argumentative writing is a common style that takes argumentation as the main way of expression, and directly expresses the author's views and opinions by putting facts and reasoning.

1. General branch structure: There must be a close internal relationship between the general branch and the branch, and the branch should surround the center of the general branch, and the general branch should be the general outline or natural generalization of the branch.

2. Parallel structure: The article is divided into several parts, demonstrating the structure of the central argument from several aspects, regardless of the primary and secondary levels. Its characteristic is that each part is an independent and complete part, which is parallel to other parts.

3. Progressive structure: Progressive structure belongs to vertical structure, and the relationship between all levels of the article is gradually deepened. When demonstrating an argument, it is generally from small to large, from shallow to deep, and expounds the truth in depth.

4. Contrastive structure: In the way of argumentation, comparing two things (or viewpoints) or setting off one thing (or viewpoint) with another thing (or viewpoint) is called contrastive structure.
