Judging from the current situation of students' argumentative writing, there are two common situations: one is too "miscellaneous", unclear thinking and ambiguous expression; Second, it's too "dead", a typical three-stage type, with a bunch of cases in the middle. Is there a solution to the problem? Yes That is to master the two basic structural forms of argumentative writing, starting with standardizing argumentative writing.

One is the transverse structure. As far as the full text is concerned, it is a very typical "total-divided total" structure. The beginning leads to the point of view, and the end summarizes the reference, while the middle (main body) part is generally supported by more than three sub-arguments, that is, it is discussed from several aspects (or angles) to prove the point that the author wants to clarify in the article. What I want to explain here is that the main part is used to discuss several aspects of the central argument. They are parallel, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary. Therefore, this horizontal structure is also popularly called parallel structure. For example, if we write an argumentative essay on the topic of "happiness", we can use "Where is happiness?" At the beginning of the question; The main part discusses "happiness lies in the sweat of workers", "happiness lies in the pursuit of the will" and "happiness lies in the dedication of selfless people". Finally, the conclusion is "Happiness is everywhere, happiness is in our hands". From this point of view, with the horizontal structure, the level of the full text is very clear.

The second is the vertical structure. If the main part of the horizontal structure is supported by several parallel arguments, then the main part of the vertical structure will be deepened layer by layer when discussing. Although it is not going hand in hand, it is also step by step. When discussing, we can discuss things from the outside to the inside according to the nature of things; It can also be carried out from small to large according to the scope of causes; Can also be based on the development of things, from shallow to deep. For example, in view of the "waste" phenomenon of students, we should not only talk to them about economic problems, but also "calculate an account" to let them understand the truth that "many a mickle makes a mickle"; We should also talk to them about nature. Once "waste" becomes a habit, it is easy to form a "luxury" style, with serious consequences. This analysis is obviously carried out in accordance with the logic from phenomenon to essence. It can be seen that the vertical structure is used to write the text, and the logical level is clear and the article is logical.

Second, write an argumentative essay brilliantly.

1, adding literary flavor with famous sayings.

When discussing, use a few famous aphorisms appropriately, and the article suddenly has bright colors and cultural atmosphere. It can be said that famous aphorisms are a beautiful landscape in argumentative writing.

2. Use common sayings to increase vividness.

Let argumentative writing be flexible and vivid, and properly use some common sayings, buzzwords, songs and advertising words to introduce topics or explain things, and the language of argumentative writing will naturally become lively and interesting.

3. Clever use of metaphorical reasoning.

When discussing, expanding imagination and using metaphors are not only clever reasoning, but also clever writing. For example, when discussing the harm of parents' doting, we can spread out a series of metaphors, such as "the little trees under the shelter of big trees don't grow up", "the little sparrows under the eaves don't fly high" and "the flowers in the greenhouse can't stand the wind", which can achieve the discussion effect well.

4. The application of long momentum.

In the analysis, we can form parallelism through rhetorical questions;

When discussing examples, we can form parallelism through a series of short examples; Structurally, we can form parallelism through paragraphs with consistent sentence patterns. In a word, the appearance of these parallelism sentences and paragraphs in the article greatly enhances the momentum of the article.

5. The application of contrast is dialectical.

In argumentative writing, we should learn to use comparative argument. The contrast between reason and reason, between fact and fact, between fact and fact, has both positive and negative, which not only makes reasoning dialectical and powerful, but also makes writing tortuous and changeable.
