Sincerely, I’d like to extend my gratefulness and appreciation to my dear supervisor, Prof. Jia Luyi, for her patient guidance and encouragement. From the starting of topic selection till the accomplishment of the whole thesis, she has been in close touch with me, assisting me with the conduction of research, in every procedure. Without her advice and continuous support, the essay would have been hard to finish and neither would I have learned so much.
The experience of conducting this research and writing this thesis has taught me quite a lot, not mere the language knowledge itself. I firmly believe that all the involvements in this unforgettable study will turn into a permanent memory in my life, which will definitely facilitate my further study in the long run.
