2. Linguistic features of argumentative writing

Generally speaking, the characteristics of argumentative language are: preciseness, accuracy, conciseness, vividness and vividness, among which the preciseness of language is the most frequently investigated. When analyzing the function and expression effect of words, we can consider the above characteristics.

For the common question "Can the word ×× be deleted, and why?" In argumentative writing, the answer generally has a fixed format: judgment (whether it can be deleted or not)+the function of words+the meaning of the deleted language+summary (that is, the deleted effect, the expression is not rigorous and the argument is not convincing).

Let reading become our belief.

Wu Zhiyong

In thousands of years of human history, there are many kinds of beliefs and theories. Although we don't all have to convert to a certain religion, everyone should have a belief in his heart to guide him forward. Today, when material shortage no longer bothers us, spiritual growth has become the first priority in life. Everyone should have his own "God" in his heart, and true faith is not only a theory, but also a practice, a practical experience of inner life, and a spiritual support and motivation. If there is a belief that can be preserved by different countries and nations all over the world without controversy, it is reading. In the long river of history, temples and statues related to religion collapsed in the wind and rain, while classic books remain forever. Writing is the best crystallization of human civilization. It is so subtle, so difficult to grasp, so thorough, so pervasive that it penetrates human perception. Human civilization is handed down from generation to generation in the context of writing. Therefore, in a sense, reading has surpassed any religion in human history, with no time and space boundaries and no geographical division, so that people living in different times, countries and languages can live in reading.

Words are a wisp of smoke in the melting pot of life; On the other hand, books are songs sung by the soul, comforting every restless soul. In the history of the development of human civilization, there will be a number of classics that can represent the historical, cultural and ideological achievements of a country and a nation in every era, which have influenced countless people's lives. Great thoughts can break free from the shackles of time, and even the insights of thousands of years ago are still novel and shining today. Those classics that have been read for thousands of years still lead people from generation to generation to the same spiritual time and space, where the sages of all ages gather together as if they were in the same room with us, so that we can hear what we say and see what we do. Their words and deeds make us profound rather than impetuous, sober rather than groggy, profound rather than superficial, perfect our personality and reshape our lives.

Real reading must involve the soul. It is the roaming of a person's soul in the spiritual world constructed by words and symbols, and it is the self-discovery and self-growth in this roaming. Reading can be applied to the world, and it can also cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's mind. A person who does not pay attention to reading is an enterprising person; A family that does not pay attention to reading is a mediocre family; A school that doesn't pay attention to reading is a dull school; A society that does not attach importance to reading is a society that lacks humanistic spirit; A nation that does not attach importance to reading is a hopeless nation. The quality of reading often plays a vital role in a person's cultural level, knowledge, ambition, accomplishment, personality and taste. Reading classics is a realm that life accomplishment should pursue.

The breadth of reading changes the length of life course, and the depth of reading determines the level of ideological realm. Four seasons are reading, let's meet in books, and let reading become our common belief.
