有说服力的论文

什么是有说服力的论文?

A persuasive paper (also known as an argumentative paper) includes an author's opinion or argument. This argument will be backed up by reasoning and research to influence the readers to side with the author.

写一篇行动呼吁

A call-to-action is a statement that directs immediate action. 它通常用于营销, but it can also be used to persuade individuals to make social change. Your call-to-action statement should be in your introduction and one of the last, 如果不是最后一个, 结论句. 通常以动词开头, a call-to-action should be motivating and simple; adding too many words can derail the audience’s attention.

行动号召的例子:

Follow this daily routine for a healthier lifestyle.
现在就行动起来，拯救需要帮助的动物.
不要等待改变!

3说服的组成部分

组件

例子

组件标志

定义标志 target the readers’ rationality behind a subject. 标志 introduces a series of logical reasons as to why the readers should side with the author.

例子“Studies have shown that dogs provide many health benefits to their owners. 在哈佛的一项研究中, ‘Dog owners have lower blood pressure…and a lower risk of heart disease, 而非业主(来源).’ Heart disease is the leading cause of death; it would be foolish to not do everything you can to prevent it, 所以从今天开始领养一只狗吧!”

组件感伤

定义感伤 is when an argument targets the reader’s emotions to create strong feelings towards a topic. 感伤 is used to help readers connect to the author through vulnerable moments.

例子“Over 3 million dogs are put in shelters each year. Nearly 700,000 of them are put down. Dogs have only ever wanted to love and be loved, why do they deserve this harsh treatment? Could you imagine being put in a cold, lonely place when your only goal was to feel at home in someone’s arms (source).”

组件精神

定义精神 is when the author reveals their credibility and knowledge towards their argument. 精神 is used because individuals often trust those who have experienced something firsthand.

例子“As I glance at my dog of ten years, examples flood my mind of the emotional, 物理, and mental benefits of owning such an unconditionally loving animal.”

Steps to writing a persuasive paper

1. Pick a topic you are passionate about.

任何一篇文章, you’ll always want to make sure you choose a topic with enough research to back up your points. 要写一篇有说服力的文章, it’s important that you are passionate about the topic, especially for the ethos and pathos appeal. If you cannot convince yourself to side with an argument or opinion, convincing others will be even harder.

2. Research both sides to your argument.

With every argument, there will be at least two sides. 作为说服者, you must understand where opposers will question your beliefs and you should be confident in your skills to counter your opponent.

3. 概述你的论点.

Think critically about the flow you want your paper to have. Understand your own research and the reasons you want to stand out. It is common in persuasive writing to put your strongest argument in the last body paragraph; putting the strongest argument last will often leave readers leaning towards your position.

4. 写你的介绍.

Just like any introduction, you should create an attention grabber connected to your topic (i.e. 轶事，统计数据). The introduction should outline what the paper will entail and provide background on the topic. 最重要的是, your introduction should include your thesis which will state your stance and the main points.

5. 形成你的主体段落.

Your body paragraphs should use evidence from credible research to sway your audience to agree with you. In your body paragraphs is where you will utilize logos, pathos, and ethos. It’s important to acknowledge opposing arguments to prove that you have knowledge on many sides but still find your side to be the best one. You should always explain to the reader why they should disregard your opponents.

例如, “It is true that homework can help improve test scores, 然而, it was found students’ 物理 health is negatively affected as they experience more exhaustion and headaches (source). The fatigue a student feels while doing homework will roll over into school days consequently resulting in the lack of attention during lessons leading to missed information and eventually lower test scores.”

6. Finish off with a strong conclusion.

Your conclusion should include a version of your thesis, 要点的总结, and your concluding thoughts to your argument. 另外, 你的文字-动作, 它敦促变革, should be in the conclusion as a final point. This will stick with readers as they go throughout their day.

7. 修改你的论文.

After you have completed your paper, make sure to go through and proofread to make sure you touched on all the points you wanted to. If something doesn’t feel right, add or omit sentence/s.
