1.提出需要議論的議題；
2.擺出正反兩方面的觀點(diǎn)；
3.表明作者持何種態(tài)度；
4.論證自己觀點(diǎn)的正確性從而使讀者接受自己的觀點(diǎn)；
5.小結(jié)。
在具體寫(xiě)作中要注意下列幾點(diǎn)：
1.議題的提出要開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山，不要拖泥帶水，??唆唆；
2.正反兩方面的觀點(diǎn)一般都要擺出，有時(shí)也有只強(qiáng)調(diào)一種觀點(diǎn)的，那么這就等于將上述第二點(diǎn)和第三點(diǎn)合在一起了；
3.作者的觀點(diǎn)必須鮮明，不能模棱兩可；
4.論證自己的觀點(diǎn)是議論文的最關(guān)鍵的部分。論證手段與英語(yǔ)說(shuō)明文中的一些寫(xiě)作手法相同，常用的有羅列法、舉例法、因果法、比較法等等。
5.對(duì)于較長(zhǎng)的英語(yǔ)議論文還可以在文章結(jié)尾時(shí)對(duì)全文要點(diǎn)作一小結(jié)。
下面這篇學(xué)生作文是較為典型的一篇英語(yǔ)議論文：
Should Examination Be Abolished（取消）？
The examination system has come to be the main theme（主題）of modern education. One should take an examination andsucceed in passing it before he could be admitted，promoted or graduated. As it plays so important a role in the realm of education（教育的領(lǐng)域）it is under much criticism（評(píng)論）as to its validity（有效性）. People who are in favour of it try to develop this system more； those who are against it believe that such a system should be abolished. Should examination be abolished？ In my opinion it should be.
Many people think that an examination is the only means to test knowledge，but，in fact，that is not true. A few questions given in an examination could by no means cover the whole field of the subject. Thus those who are able to answer them may be the poorest of the students and yet happen to know just a few points about that subject.
I'd like to say that，because of the existence of the examination system，students pay so much attention to gaining high marks，that they often forget the chief purpose of education. The so-called clever students devote（貢獻(xiàn)）themselves to the study of textbooks only. They，of course，know nothing but the skeleton（梗概）of knowledge. The end and aim of education，however，is to enable students to learn how to live. To do this，students must get themselves to do all kinds of training，physicalas well as mental. The present examination system has discouraged students from making such an attempt.
Moreover，since the students try so hard to put their lessons into memory in as short a time as possible，psychologically（心理上來(lái)看），they soon forget the whole subject as soon as the examination is over. Surely this is one of the greatest wastes ever made in the history of civilization.
Lastly，in order to get high marks，there is a great temptation（誘惑）for students to cheat（作弊）in an examination. Indeed，such a practice becomes the means to the end. They cheat their teachers，their parents and also themselves. Such a tendency would impair（損害）our moral standards（道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)）.
Therefore，I am of the opinion，in conclusion，that the examination system should be abolished.
