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.

當(dāng)你爭(zhēng)論時(shí)，你要盡全力讓別人明白你的論點(diǎn)要點(diǎn)。為了達(dá)到這一目的，你需要清晰系統(tǒng)地陳述你的論點(diǎn)和支持論點(diǎn)的論據(jù)。否則，聽(tīng)眾很難聽(tīng)進(jìn)你的論點(diǎn)并支持你。

Today, we’ll look at ways to make an initialrecommendation and begin an organizedargument. 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，我們來(lái)看下做初次推薦并開(kāi)始進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)的爭(zhēng)論的方法。我們會(huì)談到如何排列你的論點(diǎn)，如何添加新論點(diǎn)，以及如何強(qiáng)調(diào)要點(diǎn)，來(lái)使這些內(nèi)容對(duì)聽(tīng)眾產(chǎn)生更強(qiáng)的沖擊力。

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.

這是對(duì)話的劇本。 Jim, Dan和 Jack都為一家美國(guó)吉他制造商的工作。Jack認(rèn)為公司應(yīng)在Costa Rica建立新工廠來(lái)節(jié)約產(chǎn)品成本。我們來(lái)聽(tīng)下他是如何組織并支持自己的論點(diǎn)。

1. What is Jack’s recommendation?

2. According to Jack, why is the company losing money?

3. How does Jack explain that labor costs are more expensive than raw materials?
