Argumentative writing is a difficult point in composition teaching in middle schools. Among all kinds of styles, argumentative writing is the biggest headache for middle school students. The rapid writing of the whole argumentative paper is introduced in several chapters, such as rapid examination, rapid conception, rapid writing and rapid revision, which are not discussed here. This chapter will focus on how to demonstrate quickly in the process of argumentative writing, which is actually about how to demonstrate quickly. Argumentative writing is a key step in argumentative writing. Mastering the basic methods of quick reasoning and discussion can greatly improve the writing speed of the whole argumentative paper.

Many people have clear ideas and arranged the structure of the article, but they encountered difficulties when they started writing. First, they don't write much, and they can't finish writing 800 words. Second, they only know how to cite concrete examples, which are long, but not like argumentative essays. This writing speed is very slow. It usually takes two or three hours to write 800 words, sometimes even two or three days. This is mainly because we have not mastered the methods and skills of rapid reasoning.

I use a rhyme to sum up the speed and methods of improving argumentative writing. The formula of this song is: "make an argument and explain clearly;" Reasoning, for example; Positive talk, negative talk; When you are finished, take care of it. "This song summarizes the basic methods and processes of demonstrating an argument or sub-argument. Let's explain it in detail below.

1, make an argument and explain clearly. In argumentative reasoning, first put forward the truth to be said, that is, put forward arguments or sub-arguments, and then elaborate or explain the arguments put forward, which is actually a matter-of-fact argument. For example, it is necessary to clarify the truth of "practicing basic skills hard". After putting forward this argument, it is necessary to explain and expound the argument and explain what "basic skills" are.

2, reasonable, for example. After putting forward an argument and expounding it in a rational way, you can then cite specific examples to demonstrate it, which is what you usually call putting facts and reasoning. For example, to demonstrate the truth of "assiduously practicing basic skills", we can cite the fact that China women's volleyball team has assiduously practiced basic skills for five consecutive championships, or we can cite the story of Leonardo da Vinci learning to draw eggs. Two problems should be paid attention to when giving examples: First, the description of examples should be concise and clear. The narrative in the argumentative paper is only used as an argument to demonstrate the argument. Just find out what's going on. Don't introduce the whole story of the case, sometimes only introduce one side related to the theme. Avoid lengthy narratives. In argumentative writing, the description of the case is too detailed, which not only makes the content of the article complicated, but also seriously affects the writing speed. Second, after citing a case, we must analyze the case, reveal the ideas contained in the case, and link them with the argument, thus playing the role of demonstrating the argument. When writing argumentative essays, many students only pay attention to examples, not to analysis, and reveal the argumentation function of examples, thus making their views divorced from examples and unable to demonstrate, wasting time and ink.

3, positive, negative. Everything in the world has two sides. The same is true of reasoning, which first demonstrates from the front and then from the back, which not only solves the problem that there is nothing to write in argumentative papers, but also demonstrates the truth completely and correctly. Let's start with the argument that "we should practice basic skills hard". After putting forward the argument and expounding it, we will demonstrate it with examples. This is all the previous reasoning, saying that we should practice basic skills hard. If we explain the negative consequences of not practicing basic skills hard from the opposite side, one is positive and the other is negative, and analyze both aspects, the reasons will be explained thoroughly.

4. Finally, deal with it. At the end, the logic and persuasiveness of the article can be enhanced by taking care of the arguments or sub-arguments put forward at the beginning. Generally speaking, the way to deal with them is to reproduce arguments, that is, to review them in very concise language. It's a bit like drawing a circle, starting from the starting point, drawing a circle, and then returning to the starting point, the end points coincide, and the circle is drawn completely.

Mastering this fast reasoning formula is of great help to improve the speed of argumentative writing. But what I'm talking about here is only the basic method of rapid reasoning, not the formula of argumentative writing. It is wrong to use it as a formula for writing argumentative essays, because although there are general methods for writing articles, it is impossible and should not have a formula. Reasoning is a key part of argumentative writing. Mastering the method of quick reasoning and practicing it will naturally improve the writing speed of argumentative essays. Let's take a look at the argumentative essay What is Happiness:

What is happiness?

People come into this world to be happy. Therefore, when people express their blessings to their relatives, comrades-in-arms and friends, they always forget to say the last sentence: "I wish you happiness!" " "However, what is happiness?

Happiness is dedication. Anyone who has a noble productive sentiment thinks that the greatest happiness is to devote everything, including life, selflessly to the motherland, to the people, to the great party, and to the cause that he pursues persistently. Only selfless dedication can achieve true happiness. Wu Yunduo dedicated everything to the Party, and Liu Hulan dedicated his young life to the great motherland. Yuan Longping devoted all his knowledge and efforts to the research of hybrid rice. Their deeds will always be praised by the people, their images will always remain in people's hearts, their spirit will always inspire people to move forward, and they will always be respected and loved by people. It is their selfless dedication that brings something that ordinary people can't get-real happiness. Comrade Lei Feng also said that it is the greatest happiness to devote one's limited life to serving the people indefinitely. Some people regard taking as happiness, and in order to get money, they are desperate to steal, steal or even rob, and finally end up in jail. There is no happy place! Therefore, taking can not only bring happiness, but also bring lifelong pain.

Happiness is struggle. It is a kind of happiness for a person to struggle tenaciously for his own ideals and for the cause of the party and the people. When Chairman Mao was young, he said, "It's fun to fight against heaven; Fighting the ground is interesting; It's fun to fight others. " Isn't struggle true happiness? China's athletes won back a gold medal and won honor for their motherland through tenacious struggle and hard struggle. How proud and happy they are! At the 1 1 Asian Games, China athletes fought bravely and achieved brilliant results. When the athletes stood on the podium, the majestic national anthem sounded and the solemn five-star red flag slowly rose. At that time, not only the athletes, but also the people of the whole country felt great happiness and pride. A mediocre person who has no pursuit and no career will never enjoy the joy of this struggle. In the eyes of mediocrity, mountain climbing is a kind of hard work, but in the eyes of strugglers, mountain climbing is a kind of enjoyment; In the eyes of cowards, going to war means dying, but in the eyes of border guards, fighting for the motherland is a kind of happiness. Therefore, struggle itself is a kind of happiness.

Some people regard eating well, dressing well and playing well as the greatest happiness in life, which is completely mediocre philosophy. You can't get happiness by blindly pursuing drinking and having fun. Because eating, drinking and having fun can not only bring real happiness to people, but also corrode people's souls and make people lazy and vulgar. Many talented young people ruin their lives by eating, drinking and having fun. As the saying goes, "Eat to live, but live not to eat." If you think that the greatest happiness in life is to eat, drink and be merry, then his goal is no different from the desire of animals. Therefore, the happiness of life is a struggle, not enjoyment.

I hope each of us can get real happiness through selfless dedication and unremitting struggle.

The writing time of this article is 28 minutes. The article expounds the viewpoint that happiness is dedication and happiness is struggle, which is insightful and clear. Adopt the natural opening method to start and end, and put forward the questions to be discussed at the beginning, which is clean and neat; The ends are naturally bundled and the structure is compact. The middle part of the main discussion is basically based on the melody of writing an argumentative essay quickly. After putting forward the argument, explain it, and then cite specific examples to demonstrate it. In order to enhance the persuasiveness of the article, it is expounded from the front and demonstrated from the back, and the truth is very clear by combining the positive and negative. If you can skillfully use the basic methods of rapid reasoning and argumentation to write, you will greatly improve your writing speed.
