    一、英语议论文写作要点

    议论文通过议论或说理来表达作者见解和主张。作者对某一问题持有一种看法,为了使读

    者同意自己的看法,提出若干理由,企图说服他人。高中英语议论文的写作要注意以下要点:

    1。论点要鲜明、确切.一篇议论文只能有一个中心论点.论点一般在开头提出,然后加以论证.

    2。论据要充分、可靠.一般是以事实为论据,也可以利用,,作为论据.

    3。论证要严密、得法.归纳法(induction)和演绎法(deduction)是议论文常用的论证方法.归纳法的例子为基础,从几个例子和现象中,归纳出某种道理和看法.例如:报纸是一种媒体(medium),人们可以从中得到现代信息;电视是一种媒体,人们也可以从中获得信息;广播也是媒体,人们同样可以从中获得现代信息.因此我们可以得出结论,其他媒体,如网络等,一定会给人们信息.演绎法以一个或多个看法为基础,从一般论断,演绎到不同事例,再加以论述,最后再回到一般论断上来.例如:所有的媒体都可以给人们提供信息,网络是媒体,因此人们可以从网络中获得信息.在归纳中要注意使用的例子要充分,不能以点概面.如:(课本高二上p81):

    iborrowedabookfromthelibrarylastweek。itwasveryboringanddifficult。ireadonlytenpages。therefore,ithinkthatalllibrarybooksareuseless。

    评注:itdoesnothavealogicalargument。thewriterdislikeonelibrarybook,butnotalllibrarybooksarethesame。thewritershouldnotmakeageneralstatement(alllibrarybooksareuseless)basedonhisreactionstoonesinglebook。

    二、议论文的写作步骤:

    1。引言(introduction).由于英语受时间,字数的限制.因此,在引言段中作者就必须简单解释要讨论的问题,并明白地亮出自己的观点,如提倡什么,支援什么,反对什么.

    2。主体段(mainbody).主体段是议论的过程,作者必须有足够的证据.(adequateproofs)来论证自己的观点.一般可提出一个或两个proofs,并对此用一两句话分别进行阐述.

    3。结论(conclusion).结论段可以用一两句话来结束文章.同时要注意与引言段呼应,但不能照搬前面的原话.

    例:课本高二上p78第一封信

    tutorialcenterishelpful。

    ihavestudiedatatutorialcenterfortwoyears。mycommandofenglishhasimprovedconsiderablysinceistartedthiscourse。

    atmycenter,thefeesarereasonable。mytutorsarequalifiedteachers。ihavebeenhelpedalotbythem。theyaresincereandkind。

    oneofmyteacherswasbritish。atfirst,icouldnotsayanythingtoher。butlaterilearnedhowtocommunicateinenglishwithawesterner。

    ithinkthatthetutorialcenterhasgivenmealotofconfidenceinusingenglish。

    评注:第一段提出论点,体现家教中心是helpful(段划线部分),主体段分别从几个方面(划线部分)来阐述家教中心的确有帮助,结论段重申家教中心的作用(划线部分),且语句表达与第一段中的不重复。

    三、议论文的写作模式

    1。议论文的类型

    英语议论文根据命题特点,从形式上来看可分为如下类型:

    1“一分为二”的观点.如“轿车大量进入家庭后,对家庭、环境、经济可能产生的影响”

    2“两者选一”的观点.如,期中考试题,“乘火车还是乘飞机”

    3“我认为”型.如“你对课外阅读的看法”

    4“怎样(howto)”型.如“怎样克服学习中碰到的困难”.

    5图表作文.通过阅读图表中的数字与项目得出一个结论或形成一种看法.

    按照高二上学期的写作要求,学生主要应掌握12两种类型的议论文的写作.在第1种类型中命题涉及某一事物或现象的正反两个方面:通过正反两个方面的对比,得出结论是利大于弊,还是弊大于利.论证要围绕所要得出的结论来展开,若利大于弊,则有利的一面要多阐述一点.反之亦然.

    在第2种类型中,命题要求在a或b两者之间作一比较或选择,两个对象往往各有优势,所以结论部分有两种情况:

    a。要么支持a,要么支持b;

    b。a、b优势均难的割舍,只好依情况而定在结论部分说清楚在什么条件选a,在什么条件选b.

    下面重点介绍第1、2种类型议论文的写作模式。
