正論型議論文,又叫立論文,是議論文的一種。議論文是一種剖析事理、論述事理、發(fā)表意見、提出主張的文體。在正論型議論文中,作者同樣使用擺事實、講道理、辨是非、舉例子等寫作方法,從正面對某個問題或事件提出自己的看法,樹立某種主張。有時立論文中也有駁論的要素,但駁論不是立論文的主要部分,其作用在于為正面論證服務(wù)。正論型議論文具有觀點明確、論據(jù)充分、論證合理、語言精練、邏輯嚴(yán)密的特點。
1.巧用彩色筆分析文章。借助彩色筆對文本的不同部分做標(biāo)注,例如,用紅色筆標(biāo)注議論文的總論點,用綠色筆標(biāo)注文章的結(jié)論,用黃色筆標(biāo)注不同段落的分論點,用藍(lán)色筆標(biāo)注論據(jù),用黑色筆在旁標(biāo)注論證方式等。寫作時,可參考標(biāo)注的內(nèi)容,分析文章“引論—本論—結(jié)論”的構(gòu)架。
2.讀懂分論點的論證角度。正論型議論文的主體部分為本論,是圍繞總論點展開的分析論證。論證過程一般涉及多個分論點,分論點從意義、原因、現(xiàn)狀、問題、危害等某一個或多個不同角度對總論點進(jìn)行論證。在閱讀文章的本論部分時,分析分論點的論證角度有助于我們判斷議論文是否論據(jù)翔實、有足夠的說服力。在寫正論型議論文時,我們也應(yīng)有意識地從不同角度,并結(jié)合多種論證方式,對自己的總論點進(jìn)行論證。

The malls are often filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones. Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring and being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives. However, just as a well-worn play on words goes, it is our presence,not our presents that truly counts.
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions of dollars every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment.Industries like media,entertainment and education rely on the precious gifts of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be mentally unhealthy.
Unfortunately, modern people run an increasing risk of attention-starvation. In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated without major cause for concern.There were natural balances: Limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example.Similarly, in bygone times, we might have spent hours communicating with the village storyteller; today, watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. Traditionally, with smaller population, everyone would get considerable attention. On many issues,we might turn to Grandma or Grandpa;now,we have Internet.
Human beings need attention.Giving attention to each other is,to a large extent,what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the success of social-networking sites.While we use such sites for“micro blogging”,“idea voicing”and“status updating”—the reality is that we are just fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange.
As more people are busy exchanging attention online,less attention is paid to the real world. The nature of attention exchange is being transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much online attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible: heart disease, diabetes and obesity(肥胖癥). The social consequences of our transformed attention exchanges may take longer to identify,but they will be equally damaging.
Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer,and therefore more valuable.In a sense,it is priceless.And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round.

(三)精彩句式
1. Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring and being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives.在購買禮物的物質(zhì)層面的背后,是對我們生活中特殊之人的愿望的在意與關(guān)注。
在本句中,地點狀語置于句首,句子完全倒裝。謂語lies 放在較長的主語the idea of caring and being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives 之前,可避免句子頭重腳輕。
2. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be mentally unhealthy. 一個長期缺乏關(guān)注的嬰兒很可能心理不健康。
在本句中,非謂語動詞短語lacking attention for a long time 作后置定語,修飾主語A baby,謂語部分is likely to be是表示可能性的常見表達(dá),相當(dāng)于may be。
3.Giving attention to each other is,to a large extent,what human civilization is based upon.在很大程度上,給予彼此關(guān)注是人類文明的基石。
動名詞詞組Giving attention to each other 充當(dāng)本句主語,what human civilization is based upon為表語從句,to a large extent作插入語,可體現(xiàn)表達(dá)的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。
4. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much online attention exchange.正如每天吃紅肉是一個糟糕的主意,太多線上的關(guān)注交換也是如此。
Just as引導(dǎo)一個表示類比的狀語從句,主句中的so it is with sth 是一個固定句型,意為“……也是如此”。
Ⅲ.句式仿寫
1.緊張的家庭氛圍背后的原因是家庭成員之間缺乏溝通。
Behind the tense family atmosphere _____________________________.
2.一個缺乏批判性思維的學(xué)生不太可能取得學(xué)業(yè)上的成功。
A student ____________________________achieve academic success.
3.在一定程度上,互相理解是和諧關(guān)系的基石。
Mutual understanding is,to a certain extent, ____________________________.
4.正如定期鍛煉可以強(qiáng)健我們的身體,我們的大腦也是如此。
Just as regular exercise can build up our bodies, ____________________________.
Ⅳ.寫作實踐
假定你是學(xué)生會主席李華,學(xué)校讓你用英語寫一份題為“Let's return to faceto-face interaction”的倡議書,呼吁同學(xué)們不要沉迷于網(wǎng)絡(luò)社交,回歸面對面交流。要點包括:
1.倡導(dǎo)回歸面對面交流的原因;
2.你的倡議。
注意:
1.詞數(shù)80左右;
2.可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),以使行文連貫。
Let's return to face-to-face interaction
Boys and girls,
