首先要明确论文写作的最终目的是传递一个有用并且可以重复利用的idea

写出一篇好文章需要什么

a not bad idea + solid evidence + good writing skills

solid evidence是文章的主体部分,它包含了充足的分析、实验、结果和讨论

good writing skills主要体现在文章的introduction和abstract部分,它是文章给人的第一印象,应当足够抓人眼球,吸引读者继续阅读文章的后续部分

solid evidence 和 good writing skills对于一篇好文章来说同等重要

写英文论文要善于使用李老师推荐的工具书,使用高级句式替换近乎口语的表达

文章的结构

会议论文的内容分布主要有以下三种

Abstract

  • ·阐述大背景 -- 由此背景应与而生的产物(标题中的关键词)-- 此产物的功能/重要性(+例子)-- 此产物的不足之处或面临的挑战 – 提出本文的目的 – 提出本文的方法 – 进一步解释本文的方法 – 本文的方法达到了效果 -- (与现有其他方法的比较)
  • 掌握逻辑递进的思路,即后一句话与前一句话紧密相连,可以是前句的补充说明(可以没有连接词,也可以用meanwhile,besides等连接),也可以是前句的转折(多用however,despite+名词短语连接)
  • 未必每项内容都需要用一整句话阐述,但要涵盖每项所涉及到的内容,且除了过渡句以外,每句话尽可能保证相似的长度以保证段落的美感
