1. Argument (concept) - the viewpoint and attitude towards the issue being discussed.

(There are two types of arguments: central argument and sub-arguments. Some argumentative papers have only central arguments, and some argumentative papers have both central arguments and sub-arguments.)

2. Arguments

(1) Concept - the material and basis for demonstrating the argument.

/p>

3. Argument - the process and method of using arguments to prove arguments.

4. Classification of argumentative essays:

(1) Argumentation - discuss the point of view from the front and explain the correctness of the point of view.

(2) Refute - refute the wrong point of view and then establish the correct point of view.

(Argumentative essays can be classified according to the method of argumentation: establishing thesis and refuting thesis.)

2. Grasp the central argument

1. Start with the title ① The title is the argument. Examples: "You won't grow up if you hold it in your arms", "Filial piety is priceless"; ② Some of the questions are thesis topics. You can grasp the argument by finding the sentences that directly answer the thesis from the text. Example: "The Thoughts of Beauty." 》

2. Infer the argument from the arguments used in the text. Arguments are materials that support an argument. That is, grasping the facts or arguments used in the article to prove something, especially what the author explains about the arguments, can also grasp the arguments.

5. Review the topic. By reading clearly what the topic of the article is, you can still grasp the topic of the article, and then what are the author's views and opinions on this topic, so that the author's point of view will be clearer. Example: "Bold ideas should not be suppressed"

Argument: the viewpoint and attitude of the topic author [clear judgment]

Argumentative papers generally have only one central argument, and some argumentative papers also have Put forward several sub-arguments around the central argument. For example: in "Doubt and Knowledge": the central argument is: "Scholars must first understand doubt" and "Study requires doubt."

Point 1: Doubt is a necessary step to identify falsehood and eliminate falsehood from the negative side.

Sub-argument ②: Doubt is the basic condition for building new doctrines and enlightening new inventions from a positive aspect

To distinguish between central arguments and sub-arguments, it must be clear that sub-arguments are used to supplement or prove the central thesis. of.
