Issue

开头:转述文章内容+亮明自己观点

结尾:重新阐明自己观点

BODY:

尽量不用例证法 而用引证法

三段,正反一比二

可以直接并列,对有些题目也可考虑借用驳论法

实在不行一正一反



Argument

  大致写作思路:

1.分析文章:

分离论点和论据(记一个简要的笔记)

分析论点的问题类型:找指向性信息/分辨观点和事实/不要忘记CA

挑出要写的逻辑错误,并考虑是否形成段间让步递进

思考攻击反例,考虑是否形成段内让步递进

2.套用模版写出文章

先写开头和结尾

三个正文段 每个正文段两个反例攻击角度(如果没有可省)

写好后一定留出时间检查基本的拼写几语法错误
