One possible version
My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations 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.

All arguments include the same parts: the introduction, the body, the response to opposing views and the conclusion.
议论文由以下几部分组成：引言（主题、背景和观点），正文（分论点、论据和论证），回应反方论点（列出反方论点，并说明你的论点优于反方论点），结论（重申论点，总结论证，并最后说服读者）。

很久以前有一位商人，带着两袋大蒜，一路跋涉到了阿拉伯地区，那里的人从来没有见过大蒜，更想不到世界上还有味道这么好的东西，因此他们用当地最热情的方式款待了这位精明的商人，临别的时候还送给他两袋金子作为酬谢。
另一位商人听说这件事后，不禁为之心动，他想：“大葱的味道不是也很好么!”于是，他就带着满满的两袋大葱来到了那个地方。那里的人同样也没有见过大葱，他们觉得大葱的味道比大蒜的味道更好。
当地人更加盛情款待了这个商人，在为商人送行的时候，这里的人一致认为，用金子远不能表达他们对远道而来客人的感激之情，经过再三商讨，决定赠给这位朋友他们最喜爱的东西——两袋大蒜。
请根据上述材料，自选角度，自定立意，自选文体，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章。
解析：两袋大蒜在某些人的心理竟然比黄金重要，可是同样的东西在不同人心里的价值往往是不一样的，在端正自己态度的同时，多去考虑别人的需要与想法，是得到成功的必要条件。

As a writer of argument, you seek to provide evidence for your claims and clear reasoning about the relationship of evidence and claims.

1、方位顺序。写景作文要有方位的条理性，从近及远，由远及近，由上而下，由下而上，由里到外，由外到里，或由中间到四周等等有次序地描写，要主次分明，详略得当。
2、景物的类别。来写，如山、水、花、鸟；瀑、石、峰、洞；亭、台、楼阁等。要写出景物的光、色、味；既要写它的静态，也要写它的`动态，还可以写出它的环境气氛。
3、要仔细观察，抓住在不同季节里景物的不同特点进行描写，不要硬编乱造，凭自己的想象来写。
4、写景中也可以具体地写些人和事，若让人、景、事三者交融一体来写，可以使作文更为感人。
5、写景物时不要忘掉自己与景物之间的关系，要有意识地把自己的感情、感受写进去，这样使人读了会产生一种身临其境之感。叶圣陶老爷爷写的《记金华的双龙洞》不是具有这样的特点吗？
6、适当地、正确地引用前人描写景物的诗词歌赋，也可以为作文增色。这就需要你平时多加阅读和积累，别等用时再去找。

To reach your readers in argument, you apeal directly to their reason and emotions, you present yourself as someone worth heeding, and you account for views opposing your own.
议论文中，为使读者信服，作者可以直接诉求读者的理性和感情，把自己表现成值得注意的，并对与自己相反的观点进行论述。
