Analysis of English Writing from the Perspective of Western Rhetoric

Abstract

English learning is often thought of as words, grammar and sentence patterns, or as a combination of foreign languages and cultures. In fact, rhetoric, as an English writing skill, is of great significance to English writing. Many people think that the application of rhetoric in English writing will only make the article mechanical and rigid. Therefore, many English learners pay less attention to rhetoric in the process of English learning. Flexible use of various rhetorical devices can make the article more vivid, so English learners should pay attention to the study of western rhetoric. This paper will analyze English writing from the perspective of western rhetoric.
