Recently, our school is planning to offer us a cooking course as one of the after — school activities. Students have different attitudes to it.
In my opinion，the cooking course can be beneficial and enjoyable. By attending it，we can learn a very useful living skill to help ourselves not only live independently but also take care of our families. Besides, taking this course is a way to reduce our study pressure and enrich our afterschool life.
论据/ 分论点(supporting sentences):
1.Our English teacher can’t help everyone…
2. 45computers
3. …work independently, …learn much more
4. …the subjects that we are interested in
本次写作任务分析
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school. Sometimes the examinations are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us don't work hard at their lessons. So when taking exams, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers. In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in exams because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What's more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

四种论证方法
四种论证方法论证（argumentation）是指从一定的观点出发，使用逻辑思维和推理方法，有条理地说明事实并论证观点。
它是基于某种认识的客观事实，分析之后得出的某种结论，让旁观者也能认同的一种技巧。
在日常生活、工作和学习中，我们经常遇到论证这一技巧，而有四种主要的论证方法，它们分别是：对比比较、推理推断、经验论据以及自然规律论据。
首先是对比比较，它是一种最普遍也是最常用的论证方法，其特点就在于找出可比较的事物，并通过对比比较推断出一定的结果。
比如，某个商品的质量好还是坏，通过与其他相似的产品进行对比比较，可以得出结论，解决日常生活中的种种疑难问题。
其次是推理推断，也就是通过对事物特征和性质及其相互关系之间的推断，从而得出一定的结论。
推理推断是论证中最基本的方法，通过深入分析事物的特质和性质，以及它们之间的关系，进而得出一定的结论。
若是用推理推断对某个事件进行分析，则可以准确地判断出结果。
第三种是经验论据，从本质上讲，它是将一些具体的现象作为凭据，通过它来论证观点的真实性。
经验论据注重实践应用，而不是理论抽象，其实就是在现实生活中发现一些有用的经验，再对其进行总结，辨证分析，以支持自己的观点。
比如，我们在做某项事情时，可以去参考他人具体的经验，从而使自己更好地处理问题。
最后是自然规律论据，它是从一定的客观规律出发，综合考虑多方面的因素，得出某种结论的论证方法。
自然规律论据是借助天然规律，来说明某种状况的存在，而不是臆测，从而论证观点的真实性。
比如，说明一种物质的温度最低时的状态，可以通过观察它的冷却速率和热力学冷却原理，从而得出结论。
从上面可以看出，论证是一项日常生活、工作和学习中很常见的技巧，它也是解决各种实际问题的有效方法之一。
而有四种主要的论证方法，它们分别是：对比比较、推理推断、经验论据、自然规律论据。
它们在论证中的应用不同，但是它们都具有一定的通用性，可以有效解决实际问题。
论证方法的运用，涉及到丰富的逻辑技巧，从而使我们能够更好地把握实际问题，更加清楚地解读问题，更准确地作出判断。

Example
public
Not allowing smoking in public places and office buildings is a very good rule . （中心论点） I believe this
for several reasons.Not only will banning smoking improve people’s health, it will also increase worker productivity and reduce conflicts. Unfortunately,when smokers are able to smoke in public buildings, they can make other people sick. They may work with people who are allergic to smoking,for examples. In that case,the nonsmokers have no choice unless they want to quit their jobs. They can only get sicker,which is unfair. Of course,banning smoking in public buildings and offices will please non-smokers. It will also improve the smokers’ health. They will have fewer opportunities to smoke, so they will smoke fewer cigarettes.
Finally, it is a good idea to ban smoking in public places and office buildings because a ban can reduce conflicts. （分论点 3 ） Non-smokers tend

Sound Argumentation1.归纳论点，说明论点有问题，存在逻辑漏洞，准备展开攻击。
2.攻击逻辑错误。
3.concession。
Case 1:The argument is well-presented, but not thoroughly well-reasoned.By making a comparison of the city of, the city Wuhan with the higher speed limit and therefore automobile accidents, with the city of Beijing, an area of a lower speed limit and subsequently fewer accidents, the argument for reducing Wuhan’s speed limits in order to decrease accidents seems logical.However, the citizens of Wuhan are failing to consider other possible alternatives to the increasing car accidents after the raise in speed limit. Such alternatives may include the fact that there are fewer reliable car traveling the roads in Beijing, or that the age bracket of those in Wuhan may be more conductive to driving safely. It is possible that there are more younger, inexperienced, or more elderly, unsafe drivers in Beijing than there are in Wuhan. In addition,the citizens have failed to consider the geographical and physical terrain of the two different areas. Perhaps Wuhan’s highway is in an area of more dangerous curves, sharp turns, or has many intersections or merging points where accidents are more likely to occur. It appears reasonable, therefore, for the citizens to focus on these trouble spots than to reduce the speed in the entire area. Beijing may be in an area of easier driving conditions where accidents are less likely to occur regardless of the speed limit.Overall, the reasoning behind decreasing Wuhan’s speed limit back to its original seems logical as presented above since the citizens are acting in their own best interests and want to protect their safety. However, before any final decisions are made about the reduction in speed limit, the citizens and officials of Wuhan should evaluate all possible alternatives and causes for the increased number of accidents over the six-month period as compared to Beijing.Sample 2This loan applicant claims that a jazz club in X city would be a protfitable venture. To support this claim the applicant points out that X city has no other jazz clubs. He also cites various other evidence that jazz is popular among X residents. Careful examination of this supporting evidence, however, reveals that it lends little credible support to the applicant’s claim.First of all, if the demand for a live jazz club in X city were as great as the applicant claims, it seems that X would already have one or more such clubs. The fact that the closest jazz club is 65 miles away suggests a lack of interest among X residents in a local jazz club. Since the applicant has not adequately responded to this concern, his claim that the proposed club would be profitable is untenable.The popularity of X’s annual jazz festival and its nightly jazz radio show might appear to lend support to the applicant’s claim. However, it is entirely possible that the vast majority of festival attendees are out –of-town visitors. Moreover, the author provides no evidence that radio listeners would be interested in going out to hear live jazz. For that matter, the radio program might actually pose competition for the YY club, especially considering that the program airs during the evening.Nor does the mere fact that several well-know jazz musicians live in X city lend significant support to the applicant’s claim. It is entirely possible that these musicians perform elsewhere, perhaps at the club located 65 miles away. This would go a long way toward explaining why X does not currently have a jazz club, and it would weaken the applicants assertion that the YY club would be profitable.Finally, the nationwide study showing that the average jazz fan spends $ 1, 000 each year on jazz entertainment would lend support to the applicant’s claim only if X residents typify jazz fans nationwide. However, the applicant provides no credible evidence that this is the case.In conclusion, the loan applicant’s argument is not persuasive.To bloster it he must provide clearer evidence that X residents would patronize the YY club on a regular basis. Such evidence might include the following: statistics showing that a significant number of X residents attend the jazz festival each year: a survey showing that fans of X’s jaxx radio program would go out to hear live jazz if they had the chance: and assurances from well-known local jazz musicians that they would play at the YY if given the opportunity.。
