Text structure analysis We will use this reading passage to talk about how to present an argument in writing. The point of view argued might be one sentence, a few sentences, or even a whole paragraph. For example, in the student’s book we are taking the whole of Paragraph 14 as expressing an argument. So here it is important for you to be able to recognize the main idea of one paragraph. At this point we are only trying to look at the structure pattern among a few paragraphs. In fact, Paragraph 14 can be further analyzed to find that the writer comes up to his argument in a progressive way. Below, we have provided an analysis that you and your students might be interested in. The parts in brackets have been added to show our analysis. This can be considered as structure analysis on different layers. Paragraph 14 While it’s true all of us need a career, preferably a prosperous one, it is equally true that our civilization has collected an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own. And we are better for our understanding of these other contributions — be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More importantly, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs. (Though) While it’s true all of us need a career, preferably a prosperous one, (There are much more out of the scope of our career.) it is equally true that our civilization has collected an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own.

(We would be better in our thinking if we learn the knowledge.) It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think.
