一、例句

二、句子解析
很多同学一提起议论文写作就头疼,不知道怎么写。其实议论文写作和其他写作一样可以分为思维和语言。思维就是看到一个题目是否有观点,是否可以充分展开观点;语言就是能够驾驭思维的充分词汇和句式。词汇问题好解决,句式其实也不难。很多议论文句式是可以提前准备好的,不管是四六级、考研、还是托福、雅思。
今天我们从雅思考官范文中学习一个高频句式。这个句子中“its favor”中的“its”指的是上文中提到过的观点:it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.
当我们想表示“支持 X 观点明显的理由是 Y”时,就可以用“The obvious argument in favor of X is that Y. ”这一句式。
学习建议:雅思考官范文中有大量的议论文写作高频句式,学习时可以注意积累和临摹。《经济学人》中有大量的分析、论证句式,阅读时也可以留意。
