About Academic Writing

Of all the two weeks’ English academic writing training, I find that it is quite different between Chinese and English writing. It is a little difficult for me to change from Chinese writing styles to English academic writing because they have different forms, habits and thinking styles. However, I have to try my best to change and learn by using English forms, habits even thinking styles. English academic writing requires us a very serious form. It contains a wh-question listing, a brainstorming, an outline, and the final draft. Every one of them has also a serious of specific requirement, such as outline, we have to write a hook to attract the readers at first and then try to narrow our topics from a general introduction to a specific examples. The next step is about the thesis, the sentence must contains a subject, a verb, a object and some reasons which are going refer to in the main body paragraphs. Although it is so complicated, actually, to write a good academic essay is not very difficult. I just have to follow its forms and add my own topics and examples, it will be finished.
