Firstly, clarify the task objectives and explore the need for deep understanding
Before we start writing, we must have a deep understanding of the task objectives of the academic paper. The task goal is that we must know clearly what our paper is going to express and what problems it is going to solve. Only in this way can we be targeted to collect information, organise our thoughts and write a paper that meets the requirements.
Second, skip the introduction and go straight to the point
In the process of writing a dissertation, we often encounter a difficult problem, which is the introduction part. The introduction section is a general introduction to the whole paper and it requires us to start writing without fully conceptualising the main thesis section. However, this is certainly a daunting task for us. Therefore, I suggest that we can skip the introduction and start writing the body outline directly.
Follow the ‘five-sentence principle’ to create a perfect paragraph
In each paragraph, we should follow the ‘five-sentence principle’. The first sentence is the topic sentence, it is the previous content of the undertaking; the second and third sentence is the evidence to support, we can quote the views of others or data; the fourth and fifth sentence is our own point of view or a comparative analysis of the previous quote.
Fourth, the summary and introduction, complement each other
Finally, what we need to complete is the summary and introduction part. At this stage, we have completed all the main parts, so we only need to briefly outline our topic and research motivation.
