Introduction
First of all, you need to briefly and precisely outline the broad background of your research topic. For example, if your research object is food safety, you need to describe in detail the seriousness of the problem and its threat to the health of consumers around the world; similarly, for international economic hot topics such as the trade war between China and the U.S., you need to analyse in depth the complexity of the political, economic and trade, and even cultural conflicts and other factors behind it. This in-depth grasp and analysis of the background fully reflects your deep understanding of the practical significance and value of the research topic, and is also the key to the rational explanation of your research purpose!
Next, you need to summarise the results of previous research and its main conclusions, and also clearly point out the research gaps that exist. This will not only help you to better understand the ideas and methods of previous research, but will also help you to identify new research directions and possible innovations.
Finally, you need to clearly explain the overall structure and layout of the literature review so that the reader can clearly understand your research ideas and logical framework.
Main Body
In the main body paragraph, you need to begin with a comprehensive and systematic summary and assessment of the literature to determine which scholars have been most influential in their research and what unique interpretations and conclusions they have proposed. This step is critical and will have a direct impact on the direction and quality of your subsequent research.
You will then need to explore in depth the relevance of your chosen topic to the wider subject area, e.g. if your research is on childhood obesity, then you will need to analyse in detail the similarities and differences between this problem and adult obesity, as well as their respective causes and solutions.
Finally, you will need to gradually transition from a general, broad view of the literature to a focus on the specific focus of your own research. This step requires you to have keen insight and critical thinking skills so that you can accurately capture the key messages in the literature and translate them into your own research.
Conclusion
In the Conclusion paragraph, you will need to provide a high level overview and summary of the existing body of literature, highlighting the important points and conclusions. At the same time, you need to objectively evaluate the current state of the literature under review, identifying any significant errors or gaps. In addition, you will need to look at potential areas for future research and tie your findings into the existing body of knowledge with a view to advancing the academic community.
