I. Preliminary preparatory work
1. Setting up the structure of the essay: Studies show that it is more efficient to structure an essay from the main idea than to do it in the traditional way.
2. Obtaining complete information: collect literature related to the topic of the essay, and gain a deeper understanding of its mode of thinking and way of exposition.
Constructing the framework of the essay
1. Determine the outline of the paper: Although not all tutors require an outline, this step helps to ensure that the paper is clearly structured and avoids deviation from the topic.
2. Follow the basic logical order: Undergraduate dissertations should follow the basic logical order of ‘Abstract→Introduction→Overview of theories→Analysis of the current situation→Exposition of problems→Conclusion of countermeasures’.
Writing the introduction
1. add the background, purpose and methodology of the study: these contents have been described in detail in the opening report, and only need to be supplemented according to the existing literature.
2. Explore the research background in depth: reveal the necessity of the research from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
IV. Enriching the main content
1. Analysing the problems in depth: elaborating a unique theoretical perspective by summarizing the environment in which the research object is located and the problems it faces.
2. Propose countermeasures and suggestions: Combine with practical cases and put forward targeted solutions.
V. Improvement of Abstract
1. Summarise the core content of the paper: briefly introduce the background, introduce the key issues, elaborate the research methodology, summarise the research results and draw conclusions.
VI. Cautions
1. Avoid plagiarism: cite others’ views with reference to the source to avoid plagiarism.
2. Maintain language accuracy: use standardised terminology and avoid colloquial expressions.
