On the function of the beginning of argumentative writing
The beginning of argumentative paper is also an introduction, which plays a leading role in the whole text.

According to the different contents, the beginning of an argumentative paper has different forms of expression and variety. In terms of content, some come straight to the point and put forward the central argument, some summarize the scope of discussion, some explain the purpose of writing, and some put forward wrong views to refute. From the form of expression, some start with problems, some start with examples, some start with famous sayings and epigrams, some start with historical allusions and so on.

The usual form of the beginning:

Forward type. Say the argument first, so as to lay the foundation for putting forward the viewpoint (creation is the ladder of human progress and the source of the development of human civilization), and then put forward the argument (so we should cultivate the creative ability).

Introduction. Quote that famous saying first (the greatest cleverness in life is self-knowledge), and then explain it (this statement is very reasonable. Self-knowledge is a necessary condition for a person to become a talent), and finally put forward an argument (self-knowledge is valuable).
