I. Preface
With the start of a new academic year, many students are faced with the challenge of writing research papers. This guide aims to provide practical and effective strategies that can be used to enhance the quality and impact of your paper.
II. Thesis Structure and Language Use
1. Prepare your dissertation topic thoroughly. After receiving an assignment on a dissertation topic, you should spend sufficient time to understand and analyse it thoroughly. This will ensure that the thesis is well-structured and logical.
2. Critical thinking must be applied. When researching previous theories or results, you should not just restate their conclusions, but analyse multiple perspectives in depth, and demonstrate your independent thinking by using inflections such as “however”, “but in any case”, “on the contrary”, “in contrast”, etc. You should use accurate academic terminology.
3. Use precise academic terminology. Avoid translating from Chinese to English and try to improve the precision and professionalism of the language by mastering English expressions directly. Pay attention to the choice of each word to achieve the most suitable and appropriate effect.
4. Pay attention to details. While the framework design of the paper is important, attention must also be paid to such minor details as punctuation, spelling mistakes, paragraph formatting, and so on. These are insignificant, but they often determine the final grade of the paper.
Summing up
All in all, the above points are indispensable parts of improving research paper writing skills. We encourage every student to take the initiative to try and delve deeper into the research, and endeavour to improve their academic level and lay a solid foundation for their future career development.
