1. Determining the form of the assignment
Before we start writing an assignment, we first need to figure out the form of the assignment. Generally speaking, the forms of assignments can be divided into two categories: essays and reports. Although both essays and reports are academic styles, they differ in structure, content and language. Therefore, before we put pen to paper, we must first figure out the form of the assignment to avoid mistakes.
2. Master the basic structure of essays and reports
Whether it is an essay or a report, they both have a fixed structure. The general structure of an essay includes three major parts: introduction, body and conclusion; while a report includes several parts such as title page, table of contents, body, conclusion and recommendations. When writing assignments, we have to follow these basic structures to ensure that the essay is clear and hierarchical in logic.
3. Focus on language expression
When writing assignments, we should not only focus on the accuracy and logic of the content, but also on the language expression. We should use standardised and formal language to express our thoughts and opinions, and avoid using colloquial words and expressions. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the accuracy and professionalism of words, avoiding the use of too remote or vague words.
4. Reasonable citation of literature
When writing assignments, we will inevitably use other people’s research results and ideas. At this time, we have to reasonably cite the relevant literature, indicating the source, to show respect. When citing literature, we should pay attention to the standardisation of the format, such as the citation format, citation position and so on.
5. Pay attention to layout and formatting
When writing assignments, we also need to pay attention to the norms of layout and formatting. For example, there should be a blank line between paragraphs and no space in the first sentence of each paragraph; the use of abbreviations is forbidden in the article, for example, can’t, don’t, didn’t, should be written as cannot, do not, did not; there should be a blank line between each paragraph and no space in the first sentence; avoid the use of colloquial vocabulary and expressions, such as a lttle bit, well…–|will talk about… Avoid using words that are too out-of-the-way, but use professional words; don’t use subordinate clauses; if a sentence is too long, change it into a short sentence so that the meaning is more clearly expressed; the introduction of the essay should state your own viewpoints and stances, that is, your thesis statement, and don’t use a question sentence in the beginning of the essay or paragraph; professional knowledge and vocabulary should be used correctly; The use of first or second person is prohibited in the essay, so keep your argument objective; examples are important, but they should be consistent with the argument.
In conclusion, I would like to say that writing good assignments is not something that happens overnight; it requires us to constantly gain experience and hone our skills. As long as we put our heart and soul into it and persevere, I believe that one day we will be able to write high-quality assignments and become the best in the eyes of our teachers.
