(单词翻译:单击)

When you’re making an argument, you’re trying to get others to see your point of view. To do this, you need to present your argument – and it’s supporting details – in a clear and organized fashion. Otherwise, it’s going to be difficult for your audience to follow your argument or support you.
当你争论时,你要尽全力让别人明白你的论点要点。为了达到这一目的,你需要清晰系统地陈述你的论点和支持论点的论据。否则,听众很难听进你的论点并支持你。

Today, we’ll look at ways to make an initial recommendation and begin an organized argument. Then, we’ll talk about how to sequence the points of your argument, how to add new points, and how to emphasize points so they have a greater impact on your listeners.
今天,我们来看下做初次推荐并开始进行系统的争论的方法。我们会谈到如何排列你的论点,如何添加新论点,以及如何强调要点,来使这些内容对听众产生更强的冲击力。

Here’s the scenario for our dialog. Jim, Dan, and Jack work for an American guitar manufacturer. Jack believes the company should build a new factory in Costa Rica to save money on production costs. Let’s hear how he organizes and supports his argument.
