四、Argument开头段模式训练
.写作的开头尤其重要
.事先准备一个开头模式
.进行适当调整
.已经提出的模式:
第一段(4句话):
第一句归纳原论证结论(In this argument, the arguer concludes that)
第二句话指出原论证一个方面的论据(To support this conclusion, the arguer
points out that)
第三句话指出另一个方面论据(In addition, the arguer reasons that)
第四句话表明对论述的基本判断(此判断有逻辑方面的缺陷)
Sample 1:
Argument Question :
The following appeared as part of an article in a trade magazine for
breweries.
"Magic Hat Brewery recently released the results of a survey of visitors to
its tasting room last year. Magic Hat reports that the majority of visitors
asked to taste its low-calorie beers. To boost sales, other small breweries
should brew low-calorie beers as well."
开头段:
In this argument, the arguer concludes that all small breweries should brew
low-calorie beers in order to increase sales. To support this conclusion,
the arguer points out that most visitors to the tasting room of Magic Hat
Brewery showed interest in its low-calorie beers. In addition, the arguer
reasons that since most visitors like to taste the low-calorie beers of
Magic Hat Brewery, most customers of other small breweries would also like
to buy low-calorie beers. A careful examination of this argument would
reveal how groundless it is.
