sider whether what you are going to write about is scientific and valuable or not, and whether it is possible for you to write yours, and then you may decide the title of your thesis after you have read enough materials and decided on the theme. Now it will be clear what you are going to write about and next is to read for the arguments to support your statement. References参考书目 Bolinger, D. L.

Chapter 4 Shape an Outline
All the process in which we have taken GREat efforts to collect materials is to “write”. What should we do first before we begin writing? Make up an outline
Shape a Framework In this stage, we should make a framework first: That is to decide from which sides to write and how many parts we are going to write, and how many smaller parts are going to be written in each part. the key is to use the logical way to make each part organize together and each of them can’t be reversed and each of them can’t be cut off, and each part should be entered on the theme. Write an Outline make an outline: That is to write out the framework. Generally speaking, an outline contains three levels: ---------------------------------------------------- Title Introduction → 1-2 paragraphs ↗ Part 1 → facts and details Body → Part 2 → facts and details ↘ Part 3 → facts and details Conclusion → 1-2 paragraphs ------------------------------------------------------- More about Outline In the body, we can also illustrate as below: ----------------------------------------------------- ↗Argument → facts and details theme → Argument → facts and details ↘Argument → facts and details ------------------------------------------------------
Why is it necessary to write an outline before we write a thesis? It can help the writer: combine the separate materials into a whole body and consider the logical relationship of the materials find out what the writer still don’t know clearly about and what materials are still needed to collect and to think about. decide which materials will be used and which materials will be left out. Which is better, a brief outline, or a detailed outline? the more detailed the outline is, the easier the writing could be controlled. So, sometimes, a good outline is made up of all of the topic sentences of each part. Deductive Method & Inductive Method What is deductive method and what is inductive method? Remember to make good use of the two methods to develop the process of raising arguments in thesis writing to make the statement more logically and persuasive. Deductive method: Arguments before facts Inductive method: Facts before arguments
Chapter 5 the First Draft
Is it good to write the first draft fast or slowly? Suggestion:
Write it fast
Make the trains of thought clearly Arrange details and generality properly Make a clear and exact statement, not in the topic but all through the thesis Set forth your statement in the instruction directly Use direct quotations properly Put it aside for one or two days Write a sound conclusion
