怎样写好英语议论文

由于我们学习的英语文化环境比较淡薄，学生在英语作文写作方面颇感吃力，英语议论文写作更是难上加难。为此，本人特就议论文写作方面谈点看法，希望对初学者有所帮助。

要想写好议论文，必须掌握好议论文的有关知识：1、主要结构：引论——本论——结论；2、三要素：论点、论据、论证；3、论证方式：立论、驳论；4、主要论证方法：事实论证、道理论证、事实与道理相结合论证等。 议论文写作，首先要明确写作要求，再根据要求确定论证方式，继而采用恰当的论证方法，运用相应的论据对论点进行论证。

高考议论文通常采用三段式的论证模式。引论部分，首先针对某一社会现象提出主张或看法，或分析存在的一些问题。本论部分，首先确定论证方式，再用恰当的论证方法，运用事实论据或道理论据对论点进行论证。结论部分，即通过严密的分析与论证之后，总括全文，阐述主张或提出解决问题的方法。

为了防止写作时出现汉语式的英语及避免语言错误的发生，议论文写作时要尽量套用常用的英语词语、短语和句型。议论文不同的部分阐述的侧重点不同，因此每一部分能套用的词语和句型亦有所区别。

第一部分，套用相关句型来引出议论。

1.Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether…….

2.These years, some students are interested in ……

3.Now, some people hold the view that……

4.I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about……

5.There are two opinions on it.

6.Opinions are divided on the question.

第二部分，采用关联词和句型列举事实依据，采用正反对比或归纳推理的方法，证明所持观点的正确性及表明其所持的态度。

1.Besides,/In addition, /Apart from it, /What’s more, /Above all,……

2.For example, …… /There are ……, such as……and so on.

3.On one hand, …… on the other hand, ……

4.First, …… Second, …… Third, ……

5.On the contrary, /However, /While……/But……

6.At the same time, we should ……

7.If ……, I believe we will ……

8.As we see, /As we all know, /As far as I know, ……

9.Of all students, 40% of them think ……, but others do not agree.

10.Some people believe that ……, but others say /consider that ……

11.Some students are for the idea /are in favor of it /agree to it, while /but /however others are against it /disagree to it.

第三部分，引用表示因果关系的关联词语、总结性的语句强调和重申提出的观点，或者引用某些特定的短语和句型来揭示观点、礼貌地征求对方的建议。

1.In a word, ……/ In short, ……/In brief, ……

2.As a result, ……/Therefore, ……

3.No doubt doing something is ……/There is no doubt that ……

4.So in a word, we should ……, only in this way can we ……

5.Generally speaking, most students think we should ……

6.In fact, /As a matter of fact, we can ……

7.So, for something, I suggest that we should do …….

8.In my opinion, I think ……

9.I have my own view about it, I think ……

10.Personally, I believe it is ……

11.Now, we really don’t know what to do about it. Could you tell us some good advice and help us out?

除了学会套用一些常用的句型和短语外，还需要扎实地掌握一定量的英语基础知识，根据书面表达题的具体内容和要求，灵活地选用句式“There be”、强调句式“It is ? that ?”、省略句式“if necessary”、动词的非谓语形式“to do something /doing something“等。另外，根据句子语气的需要，可在英语句中适当地增加一些情态动词“should /can /may /had better/must”，以及句与句之间合理使用一些并列、递进、转折等关系的关联词语，这样，议论文的结构会更加严谨，更具说服力和感染力。

With the development of science and technology, people depend more

and more heavily on the computer. Then how does the computer affect our life?

On the one hand, it can be very helpful to people who need it and treat it

correctly. The computer can broaden our knowledge about the world. It can also help us learn more about many fields of studies quickly: science, medicine, arts and so on. It is very convenient to people who are busy with their jobs, and has brought about many positive changes in our lives. On the other hand, the computer may bring about some negative changes. For example, many children become so addicted to computer games that they stay up late frequently and even neglect their studies. Another disadvantage is that computer's radiation is harmful to people's eyes, especially to children's.

Just as every coin has two sides, the computer has advantages and

disadvantages. I think that if we can overcome its negative effects, we can bring it into full play.

第二篇：英语议论文写作范文

Sample argumentative essay:

HEALTH AND HEALING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. However, it is a blow to the medicine industry, and an even bigger blow to our confidence in the progress of science. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.

Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our fractured bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors. We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “every day complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin, or Vermidon, when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Reiki to yourself, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. As for its history, it was discovered in Japan in the early 1900s and its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance of which the universe is composed. Reiki depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.

Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their

lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy, losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicine these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings because of the medical treatment they undergo. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. Most of the chronic conditions such as eczema or migraine are known to have causes such as poor diet and stress. Deep-rooted anger or other strong emotions can contribute to viral infections as well. Since balancing our emotions and controlling our thoughts are very important for our well-being, we should definitely start learning Reiki and avoid illnesses before it is too late.

Some people may still maintain that in our material world, everything depends on time. It is even “lacking time” that causes much of the stress that leads to the illnesses we mentioned. How would it be possible to find time to do Reiki to ourselves and the people around us when we cannot even find time to go to the theater? This is one good thing about Reiki; it does not require more than 15 minutes of our time. There is no need for changing clothes or special equipment. It is a wonderfully simple healing art, an effective method of relaxation and stress-relief. Most important of all, it is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.

Having said these, resistance to Reiki would be quite illogical. Reiki is natural and drug-free. What is more, it is easy to learn by anyone, regardless of age and experience. It can be used anywhere, anytime. It also enhances physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and the benefits last a lifetime. It is definitely high time to get away from the drug boxes we store in our drug cabinet!
