与其他文体相比，英治议论文的结构一般较为固定，有下列几个部分组成提出需要议论的议题；摆出正反两方面的观点；表明作者持何种态度；论证自己观点的正确性从而使读者接受自己的观点；小结。在具体写作中要注意下列几点议题的提出要开门见山，不要拖泥带水，啰啰唆唆正反两方面的观点一般都要摆出，有时也有只强调一种观点的，那么这就等于将上述第二点和第三点合在一起了作者的观点必须鲜明，不能模棱两可论证自己的观点是议论文的最关键的部分。论证手段与英语说明文中的一些写作手法相同，常用的有罗列法、举例法、因果法、比较法等等。对于较长的英语议论文还可以在文章结尾时对全文要点作一小结。下面这篇学生作文是较为典型的一篇英语议论文Should Examination Be Abolished （取消）？The examination system has come to be the main theme （主题）of modern One should take an examination andsucceed in passing it before he could be admitted， promoted or As it plays so important a role in the realm of education （教育的领域） it is under much criticism （评论） as to its validity （有效性） People who are in favour of it try to develop this system more； those who are against it believe that such a system should be Should examination be abolished？ In my opinion it should Many people think that an examination is the only means to test knowledge， but， in fact， that is not A few questions given in an examination could by no means cover the whole field of the Thus those who are able to answer them may be the poorest of the students and yet happen to know just a few points about that I'd like to say that， because of the existence of the examination system， students pay so much attention to gaining high marks， that they often forget the chief purpose of The so-called clever students devote （贡献） themselves to the study of textbooks They， of course， know nothing but the skeleton （梗概） of The end and aim of education， however， is to enable students to learn how to To do this， students must get themselves to do all kinds of training， physicalas well as The present examination system has discouraged students from making such an Moreover， since the students try so hard to put their lessons into memory in as short a time as possible， psychologically （心理上来看）， they soon forget the whole subject as soon as the examination is Surely this is one of the greatest wastes ever made in the history of Lastly， in order to get high marks， there is a great temptation （诱惑） for students to cheat （作弊） in an Indeed， such a practice becomes the means to the They cheat their teachers， their parents and also Such a tendency would impair （损害） our moral standards （道德标准） Therefore， I am of the opinion， in conclusion， that the examination system should be
许多人把写英语作文当作英语考试中最头痛的一件事，因为英语作文的分数像是定型了一样总是提不上去我以前也有这个迷茫，在高一和高二时，满分30分的英语作文，每次总是徘徊在20左右，提不上去可是进入高三后，我用了另一种特殊的写作手法，使得我的英语作文水平提高了将近5分，也就是说，我每次总能把英语作文的分数保持在25分左右，最低也不会低于23分，而且这方法是屡试不爽在今年的高考中，虽然其他几门课我考的不怎么样，但是我的英语还是过得去的，我想在这看这篇文章的今年应该没有英语考到139的吧，实话说吧，今年的英语作文我得了23分，这是我有史以来，英语得的最低分，但据我所知，今年英语作文分数普遍偏低，一般都只有10多分，上20的都没几个，我这个英语作文分数应该很过得去了这也暗示着我写英语作文的成功之处，呵呵 写英语作文，当然基本功很重要，好的英语作文中肯定必不可少的得有长句和复合句，这只能靠自己大家平时自己的练习，我帮不上忙但是，有些同学可能会发现，有时候即使句子写得很好，但分数最多也只有21，2分，还是不够高其实，说到底，是因为你的英语作文中缺少闪光点，句子写得很好，但是嚼之无味，很难把作文提上去说实话，我的作文中也没有多么复杂的句子，句子可能比一般得21分的同学还要简单，但是每次我分数都不会太低，现在细细想来，可能是我的闪光点起了作用吧 至于如何创造闪光点嘛，嘿嘿，就是我接下来要讲的重点啦首先我给大家介绍一些段首的万能公式，你在每次写作时100%能派上用场 段首万能公式一：名人名言嘿嘿，有些人肯定会说啦，我又没有这个闲工夫去记住名人名言说得好，我们确实没这个闲工夫但是，我有一妙计，嘿嘿，去编!名人名言不也是名人自己造出来的么，所以只要你造的句子读起来有滋有味，你就是那个名人!而且没准将来我们自己就会成为一个大大的名人呢!有这样一些经典句型可供你参考：A proverb once said，""在引号里加上你自己认为很有哲理的句子或者：it goes without saying /as everyone knows，no one can deny 我想更多的人可能倾向于用后面两句，因为这两句字数多嘛，呵呵 段首万能公式二：用数据要想更有说服力，就应该用实际的数字来说明问题原则上在议论文中不应该出现虚假数字，可是在考试时鬼才晓得你的数字到底真不真实了，反正能够使字数增多就行了，比如说我们可以用这个：according to a recent survey，about 78% of the students wanted to futher their study after their 刚才我讲了用名人名言，现在想起来还有一点遗漏之处，有些人可能不太会编，太老实在这里，我给大家总结出一些名人名言，不出意外，在考试时肯定能够派上用场，下面就是英语写作时必备的英语成语啦 practice makes perfect--熟能生巧 d helps those who help themselves--天助自助者 asier said than done--说起来容易做起来难 where there is a will，there is a way--有志者事竟成 false step will make a great difference--失之毫厘，谬以千里 slow and steady wins the race--稳扎稳打无往不胜 a fall into the pit，a gain in your wit--吃一堑，长一智 xperience is the mother of wisdom--实践出真知 all work and no play makes jack a dull boy--只工作不休息，聪明孩子会变傻 beauty without virtue is a rose without fragrance--无德之美犹如没有香味的玫瑰，图有其表 hasty，less speed--欲速则不达 it's never too old to learn--活到老，学到老 all that glitters is not gold--闪光的未必都是金子 a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step--千里之行始于足下 look before you leap--三思而后行 Rome was not built in a day--伟业非一日之功 at minds
