很多童鞋，至今依然不懂得如何快速搞定argument寫作。於是，抱著實現自我價值，幫助他人的心態，熬夜寫了這篇文章，希望對國內的考生臨時抱佛腳有幫助。

這個模板，很多學生考前幾天，甚至有一個考前一天用了這個模板，作文也考了4分，說明這個模板是非常靠譜的！！

需要說明的是，該方法只適合argument無從下手的童鞋使用。除非迫不得已，我們不建議考生使用模板。如果考生確實要使用下面的模板，一定要記得，把下面的模板同義替換一些辭彙、表達方式，形成自己的模板。否則將會被判雷同，零分。如果自己把下面的一些辭彙、短語、句式修改，一般是不會被判雷同的。

萬能argument模板

In this argument, the author maintains that...To justify the conclusion, the arguer points out .Although at first glance, it seems convincing. This argument, however, fails to be completely compelling as it stands, for it contains a series of unwarranted assumptions and due to the lack of necessary evidences.

First of all, the arguer simply assumes that【fallacy I 】. Without offering the tenable evidence, the arguer clearly could not back up this fundamental assumption, though this is not entirely impossible. It is much likely that【reason I】.For example, 【example I】.In order to strengthen this argument, the author should provide more credible evidences and have to rule out and account for these or other possible alternative explanations.

What is more, the author assumes that 【fallacy II】.It is equally possible that【Reason II】.For example,【example II】Thus the arguer should apply more persuasive and professional evidences to substantiate this assumption ,for any of these scenarios, if true, would undoubtedly weaken the author』s conclusion.

Finally, even if the those assumptions on which the argument based on are true, the argument only relies on the assumption that【fallacy III】and we are not informed any persuasive evidence. Thus, it is not entirely unreasonable to question the arguers conclusion. For instance,【example III】 Lacking this indispensable evidence, the arguer cannot firmly bolster the conclusion.

To sum up, this argument is undoubtedly invalid as it seems, for the lack of compelling evidence and sound reasoning. To better evaluate the author』s conclusion, it is necessary to provide more convincing and unbiased evidences, reason more frigidly and rule out all other possible explanations.

下面演示一下，如何使用我們給出的萬能模板，快速寫好一篇argument.部分修改用加粗和下加橫線提示，讀者可以將下面的模板和上面的萬能模板比較，也可以看出來，下面的模板哪裡已經修改了。

Step 1 練習默打模板

In this argument, the arguer concludes/recommends/advocates/predicts/claims that [ main idea ].To justify the conclusion/predictions/recommendations, the arguer points out/cites a example of / study showing/an experiment involving.... ，which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious/unwarranted and poor assumptions/evidences and holes, however, this argument fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

A paramount problem involved in this recommendation is that the arguer simply assumes that [ fault 1 ]. Without providing the credible evidence, the arguer apparently can not substantiate this crucial assumption, though this is entirely possible. It is much likely that[ reason 1 ].An appropriate example is not far to seek, [ example 1 ]. In order to strengthen his/her argument, the author should provide more reliable evidences and have to rule out these or other possible alternative explanations. For example, if the arguer can convince me that [ ], this argument will be significantly strengthened.

Additionally, it is not safe to unfairly assume without substantiation that [ fault 2 ]. In this case, we may wonder whether [ reason 2 ] is possible or not. For example, [ example 2 ]. Thus, the author should supply more convincing evidence to confirm this assumption. Otherwise, there is little chance that this unsolid/ expedient/ ineffective assumption can be bolstered.

Finally, even if the foregoing assumptions on which the conclusion is based on are reasonable, the argument merely relies on the assumption that [ fault 3 ] and we are not informed any persuasive and professional evidence. In fact, it could turn out to be the case , however, it will be questionable if [ example 3 ]. .If so, anyone would be reluctant to accept the arguer』s recommendation/ conclusion.

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many obvious flaws that need to be marshaled/ addressed before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

修改完屬於自己的模板後，考生要開始每天在word上把這個模板打出來。一直到考試的時候可以默打出來。

例如我當時是這樣的，考前半個月，每天飯前飯後各在word裏打一遍，最後9分鐘內完全可以把該模板默打出來。

每次在上面寫上開始與結束時間。

例如：下面的12:10是我開始打的時候的時間，12:19表示打完的時間，那麼默打完這篇模板，我用了9分鐘。於是，考場上，我還剩21分鐘去找argument題目的漏洞和寫出來。這時候的21分鐘，是完全可以做到找出題目的漏洞和寫完文章的！雖然分數可能不會特別高，但是起碼速成了：）

12:10--12:19=9分鐘

Step 2 開始寫一篇文章

模板在手了，需要的是後面不斷的練習默打，這樣才考場上，遇到argument，看一下大概內容和寫作指令。到底是要寫assumption 還是evidence等。根據不同的寫作指令，在打模板的時候，再稍微改動一下。下面就拿最近常考的一篇argument機經進行練習。

The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice to a client.

"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

現在我們假設在考場裏。

首先，看一下題目的文章的大概：是一個公司為一個客服的投資建議（from a firm providing investment advice to a client）。所以第一點已經明確了該題目文章是關於建議的。

其次，快速過一遍題目的這篇給客戶的投資letter，我們可以看到最後的結論的地方是：we predict ...所以是關於預測類型的問題。

最後，看了一下寫作指令，我看可以看到，這是一篇要寫what specific evidence的文章。

馬上快速在考場的argument的考試界面那裡默打出如下的模板，這個模板肯定與咱們的模板有所不同，不同之處在於必須符合剛才上面提到的3點： 1，建議；2， predice和recommend ; 3, evidence。

所以在第一段，只留下predict一詞，其他的concludes/recommends/advocates等全部刪掉。

In this argument, the arguer predicts that .To justify the advice, the arguer points out，which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious and poor assumptions and lack the necessary evidences , however, this argument fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

A paramount problem involved in this recommendation is that the arguer simply assumes that [ fault 1 ]. Without providing the credible evidence, the arguer apparently can not substantiate this crucial assumption, though this is entirely possible. It is much likely that[ reason 1 ].An appropriate example is not far to seek, [ example 1 ]. In order to strengthen his/her argument, the author should provide more reliable evidences and have to rule out these or other possible alternative explanations. For example, if the arguer can convince me that [ ], this argument will be significantly strengthened.

Additionally, it is not safe to unfairly assume without substantiation that [ fault 2 ]. In this case, we may wonder whether [ reason 2 ] is possible or not. For example, [ example 2 ]. Thus, the author should supply more convincing evidence to confirm this assumption. Otherwise, there is little chance that this unsolid/ expedient/ ineffective assumption can be bolstered.

Finally, even if the foregoing assumptions on which the conclusion is based on are reasonable, the argument merely relies on the assumption that [ fault 3 ] and we are not informed any persuasive and professional evidence. In fact, it could turn out to be the case , however, it will be questionable if [ example 3 ]. .If so, anyone would be reluctant to accept the arguer』s recommendation/ conclusion.

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many obvious flaws that need to be marshaled/ addressed before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

在考場上，默打完以上的模板後，我們再花幾分鐘，仔細看題目的文章在說什麼。不難發現：

"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

腦海里反映的是：

在冬季非常寒冷的美國東北部的房屋，一直都使用傳統的油料作為採暖的主要燃料。去年該地區經歷了90天低於往年平均氣溫的嚴寒，並且氣象預測家們預測這種天氣會持續未來數年。而且，去年本地建造了很多的房屋。按此趨勢，我們預測對於油料的需求將會增加. 所以我們建議對CI公司投資，該公司的主要業務之一就是家用採暖油料的零售。

接著開始找文章的漏洞：

1，氣象預測家們預測這種天氣會持續未來數年。但是這種預測是否靠譜？我們需要證據來表明，這些天氣預測是靠譜的。例如過去的預測到底有多少次是正確的，又有多少次是扯淡的。我們需要這樣的數據。否則，這些預測沒有任何的說服力。

2， 很多的住宅新建起來，不見得很多人都會立刻搬進去居住，可能是房子的質量不好，也可能是人們的工資負擔不起那裡昂貴的房價> 又或者交通不便利，環境不好等因素。也就是我們需要一些證據：可以證明這些新房的主人會搬進去的。

3，就算前面的預測是對的，很多新房的主人也會住進來，但是隨著科技的發展，我們需要有證據表明，這些地方的居民依然會使用這些不可再生的，並且產生污染以及溫室氣體的燃料。很可能隨著科技的發展，以及當地居民環保意識的增加，居民們都使用上了太陽能、電等其他環保的能源作為供暖的能源。因此，這樣的投資註定是個悲劇啊。

好。在考場上，我們花了大概5分鐘左右找出漏洞後，開始準備在剛才已經打好的模板里加上去。這樣就妥妥的啦。需要提醒的是，對於那些平時看題目文章，不太會找漏洞的童鞋，我們建議大家多看arguemtn提綱。如果自己找不到寫作提綱，可以問上校老師。前提你是我們的保分班學生哈。

廢話少說，下面開始闡述如何使用模板開始補全文章啦。如下：

第一段：

In this argument, the arguer predicts that the demand for heating oil will absolutely increased and confidently recomends the client investing in Consolidated Industries 【備註：題目原文為：an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil.很明顯，我在寫第一段的時候，會在原文裏直接copy這一句過來，然後再同義改寫一下。】.To justify the advice, the arguer points out that 【注，這個是題目原文letter的根據，考生對後面進行改寫即可。筆者不再進行改寫示範。last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years and many new homes have been built in this region during the past year】，which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious and poor assumptions and lack the necessary evidences , however, this recomendation fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

寫完第一段我們發現，第一段基本補寫的部分完全來自題目原文。考生需要做的事情是：

1，區別文章哪些是原文作者的依據，哪些是原文作者的結論。這個其實在閱讀課，我一直強調呀！！

2，找出作者的依據和結論後，再在原文的基礎上進行同義改寫即可。

下面開始琢磨第2段。由於剛才文章的漏洞我們已經找出來了，這時候，需要做的工作，只是把下面找出的漏洞逐一添加到每段即可。例如：

1，氣象預測家們預測這種天氣會持續未來數年。但是這種預測是否靠譜？我們需要證據來表明，這些天氣預測是靠譜的。例如過去的預測到底有多少次是正確的，又有多少次是扯淡的。我們需要這樣的數據。否則，這些預測沒有任何的說服力。

2， 很多的住宅新建起來，不見得很多人都會立刻搬進去居住，可能是房子的質量不好，也可能是人們的工資負擔不起那裡昂貴的房價> 又或者交通不便利，環境不好等因素。也就是我們需要一些證據：可以證明這些新房的主人會搬進去的。

3，就算前面的預測是對的，很多新房的主人也會住進來，但是隨著科技的發展，我們需要有證據表明，這些地方的居民依然會使用這些不可再生的，並且產生污染以及溫室氣體的燃料。很可能隨著科技的發展，以及當地居民環保意識的增加，居民們都使用上了太陽能、電等其他環保的能源作為供暖的能源。因此，這樣的投資註定是個悲劇啊。

第二段：

A paramount problem involved in this recommendation is that the arguer simply assumes that 氣象預測家們預測這種天氣會持續未來數年【請讀者把前面的中文翻譯為英文即可在考場上】 Without providing the credible evidence, the arguer apparently can not substantiate this crucial assumption, though this is entirely possible. It is much likely that這些天氣預測是不靠譜的.An appropriate example is not far to seek, 例如過去的預測很多是不正確的，都是是扯淡的。. In order to strengthen his/her argument, the author should provide more reliable evidences and have to rule out these or other possible alternative explanations. For example, if the arguer can convince me that 過去的預測都是非常靠譜的，正確的，這樣 this argument will be significantly strengthened.

第三段：

Additionally, it is not safe to unfairly assume without substantiation that 很多的住宅新建起來，很多人都會立刻搬進去居住. In this case, we may wonder whether 那些居民是否真的一定會搬進去住is possible or not. For example, 居民們可能壓根就不會搬進去，例如可能是房子的質量不好，也可能是人們的工資負擔不起那裡昂貴的房價> 又或者交通不便利，環境不好等因素. Thus, the author should supply more convincing evidence to confirm this assumption. Otherwise, there is little chance that this unsolid/ expedient/ ineffective assumption can be bolstered.

第四段：

Finally, even if the foregoing assumptions on which the conclusion is based on are reasonable, the argument merely relies on the assumption that這些地方的居民依然會使用這些不可再生的，並且產生污染以及溫室氣體的燃料。 and we are not informed any persuasive and professional evidence. In fact, it could turn out to be the case , however, that 很可能隨著科技的發展，以及當地居民環保意識的增加，居民們都使用上了太陽能、電等其他環保的能源作為供暖的能源。因此，這樣的投資註定是個悲劇啊。 .If so, anyone would be reluctant to accept the arguer』s recommendation.

最後一段，基本不用怎麼改。

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many necessary evidence needed to be marshaled before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

看到了？不知道你真的懂怎麼利用模板快速寫一篇arguemnt了？

如果你真的打算用萬能模板，下面開始寫這篇作業，寫完，附帶上argument的題目、寫作指令，發給上校的qq郵箱，備註argument作業1+你的學號。告訴老師給你修改。

argument作業1

A recent sales study indicates that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants has increased by 30 percent during the past five years. Yet there are no currently operating city restaurants whose specialty is seafood. Moreover, the majority of families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study has shown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than they did a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about healthful eating. Therefore, the new Captain Seafood restaurant that specializes in seafood should be quite popular and profitable.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

中文翻譯：最近的銷量調查顯示Bay City 餐館的海鮮菜餚的消費量比過去五年增加了30％。而現在該市還沒有專門經營海鮮菜的餐廳。而且，Bay City 的大多數家庭是雙收入家庭，一次國家調查顯示這類家庭在家做飯的數量比十年前顯著減少，同時他們更關注健康飲食。因此，在Bay City 開設一家新的專營海鮮食品的C 餐館將會非常受歡迎而且有利可圖。

參考提綱（建議考生自己重新寫）：

1. 最近的海鮮食品的需求比去年上升30%並不意味著海鮮食物的市場變得很大

2. 全國對於雙收入家庭的調查並不意味著Bar City 同樣適用

3. 作者同樣忽略了其他因素：比如Bar City 當地的餐廳數量很多而且對於海鮮食品的供應是否已經足夠豐富；或者是否Bar City 的居民的飲食習慣

1> 的海鮮食品的需求比去年上升30%並不意味著海鮮食物的市場變得很大（別的類型餐館的情況> ），人們的消費增加了可能是由於人們生活的水平提高了，或者是海鮮的價格貴了，不代表喫的人多了，專營和不專營是不一樣的概念

2> 對於雙收入家庭的調查並不意味著Bar City 同樣適用(而且他們不願意在家裡喫也不代表他們願意出去喫的是海鮮> ），而且他們的工資即使是雙收入或者比較高，但是不代表他們能夠經常喫的起昂貴的海鮮

3> 同樣忽略了其他因素：比如Bar City 當地的餐廳數量很多而且對於海鮮食品的供應是否已經足夠豐富；或者是否Bar City 的居民的飲食習慣
