The purpose of argumentative writing is to convince readers. No matter what problems and things it discusses, what opinions it expresses, what opinions it puts forward, what reasons it tells, or what opinions it refutes, it is to convince readers and convince them. If the basic feature of expository writing is its explanatory nature, and the object of explanation should be clearly explained to readers, then the basic feature of argumentative writing is its persuasiveness. In the type of thinking, we should answer "why" and tell the truth to convince readers. Ye Shengtao said: "Explanatory writing is successful with' clear explanation'. The success of argumentation depends on' convincing others'. " This shows the basic characteristics of argumentative writing.
An argumentative essay should not only discuss the point of view of an object of discussion and express the author's attitude (that is, the point of view), but also explain why this point of view is put forward and why this attitude is held. This process of explaining "why" is the process of proof. A complete proof must consist of topics, arguments and arguments. These parts are the elements that constitute the characteristics of argumentative writing. They have different tasks. It refers to the problem that the author puts forward in the article to be discussed and is the object of argument.
The paper does not show the author's understanding of objective things. For example, "Where do people's correct ideas come from?" It's a rhetorical question, no judgment, no judgment, only asking questions and waiting for answers. On authority, the direction of the youth movement, and whose literature and art belong to us? This is not a judgment. They all define and limit the scope and focus of the article, determine the direction and way of discussion, and are the clues that run through the content and organizational structure of the full text. Topics usually appear in the topic or preface, and the expression of topics is rhetorical questions, such as "what is talent science" and phrases that highlight the main idea, such as "the direction of youth movement". The topic discussed in an article is the center of the whole discussion. Not only the argumentative part of the article should revolve around it, but also the content of the critical paper should obey it. It is the central clue of the full text and plays a role in controlling the full text. Also known as judgment, in logic, an argument is a judgment whose authenticity needs to be confirmed. It is the author's views, opinions and attitudes on the issues discussed. It is the center of the whole argumentation process, shouldering the task of answering "what to demonstrate" and clearly indicating what the author is in favor of and against.
In a long article, arguments are divided into central arguments and sub-arguments.
The central argument is the author's most basic view of the problem under discussion. It is the most important ideological viewpoint put forward by the author in the article, and it is a high generalization and concentration of all arguments.
Sub-arguments are some ideological viewpoints subordinate to and used to elaborate the central argument. Every argument also needs to be demonstrated. Any argument that is proved to be effective becomes a powerful argument at the center of the argument. Is used to prove the basis of the argument, logically, it is used to determine the authenticity of those judgment questions. In the proof, it undertakes the task of answering "why".
According to its nature and characteristics, debate can be divided into factual debate and theoretical debate. Factual argument is a true description and generalization of objective things, which has a direct and realistic character, so it is the most convincing argument to prove the argument. The so-called "facts speak louder than words" is the truth. The factual arguments include individual cases, general cases and figures. Theoretical arguments refer to those viewpoints that come from practice and have been proved and tested by long-term practice and come to a correct conclusion. It includes the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, the Party's line, principles and policies, scientific definitions, rules and laws of different periods, general axioms, common sense, idioms, proverbs and so on. It is the logical process and method of proving an argument with arguments, that is, what kind of logical connection between materials and opinions, such as deductive reasoning or inductive reasoning between arguments and arguments. It is charged with the task of answering "how to prove".
No matter how long an argumentative paper is, it must have several elements: title, argument, argument and argument. These elements are closely integrated and indispensable. * * * Same as completing the certification task.
