While writing an argumentative essay, we should pay more attention to writing a good beginning, because at the beginning of an argumentative essay, we can not only see whether your argument is clear, whether the views extracted from the materials are relevant, but also see the writer's basic language skills from whether the words and sentences are vivid and whether the writing is fluent. Therefore, a marking teacher said that after reading the beginning, the grade of the composition score has been set, not too much.
Therefore, we should attach great importance to the writing at the beginning of argumentative writing, especially the refinement at the beginning. Examination composition, time is tight, the article is not long, it is best to get to the point at the beginning, get to the point as soon as possible, and clearly and prominently express your views as soon as possible. Don't ramble, beat around the bush, talk about the matter. If you are quoting materials, you should pay more attention to conciseness. For longer materials, you should not copy them and leave them intact. You should focus on your own opinions and your own central arguments and summarize them in concise language. Generally speaking, it is best to control the beginning within one or two hundred words. Putting aside the theme of the article, describing and rendering, digressing from Wan Li, and writing a few hundred words, which has not yet entered the theme, is the most disgusting thing for the marking teacher.
The thesis is to publicize an argument, express a viewpoint and clarify a problem; Only by asking questions, analyzing problems and solving problems can we convince others. Therefore, when writing an argumentative paper, you should be clear about your views and opinions on the issues discussed, what to affirm and what to deny; We must be clear about what we are for and against, and we must not be vague and ambiguous, so that people will not know what to say in the end. It is best to express your views directly and clearly at the beginning of the article, and even use words such as "I think …", "My opinion is …" or "I got inspiration from it: …" to make people see at a glance.
A typical argumentative essay should have three parts: introduction, theory and conclusion, or to put it another way, it is three parts: asking questions, analyzing problems and solving problems. However, when arranging the argumentation structure, we can't mechanically copy this framework, let alone write three sections according to these three steps.
The ancients thought that writing an article should have four steps: "starting, inheriting, turning and combining", which I think is very reasonable. The so-called "Shang" is to clarify the point of view at the beginning of the article; "Cheng" refers to the general argument; "Turn" refers to digging deeply on the basis of argumentation, or further argumentation from another angle; "He" is the end of the article and the final summary. Especially in writing materials, we advocate the four-step method of "quotation, discussion, connection and conclusion", that is, the beginning is to summarize the materials and clarify the views; Then it demonstrates the viewpoint of this paper; Then it is further elaborated in combination with reality; Finally, it is the end, pointing out the center and taking care of the beginning. In these four steps, there must be a "link" to link yourself and others; Connecting with society, history and practice is to use the ideas in the article to solve problems in real life. With this level, the article will be more targeted and convincing.
In order to make the article clear, it should also be noted that it is best to break down the argument into several sub-arguments, that is, to find several reasons to prove the correctness of the argument, not one reason, but at least two points. If there is only one point, we should also "talk" and then "talk".
Facts speak plainer than words. In argumentative writing, most people like to demonstrate with examples. However, using examples to demonstrate is not a mathematical proof problem, and you can't just give an example. After putting the facts around the argument, we must analyze the relationship between it and the argument and explain why they can prove the argument. Never make the facts unreasonable, but simply list examples. Analysis is a bridge connecting arguments and arguments, and it is the key to enrich the content of articles and explore the depth of argumentative articles. Most middle school students' argumentative essays are not good at analysis, and only stay on arguments and arguments, which are shallow and empty and unconvincing. Therefore, in order to break through the obstacles of argumentative writing as soon as possible and improve the ability of argumentative writing, we must learn to analyze arguments. Analysis is the glue of cases and arguments. With analysis, cases and arguments can become an organic unity. Only through rational analysis can we reveal the relationship between cases and arguments, and the article can produce convincing logical power.
