英语学术论文写作教程Unit 4 Introduction Overview A good beginning is half done, so is a research paper. One is to arouse the readers’ interest, and the other is to offer adequate information to prepare readers for understanding the paper and evaluating the worth of the study. In terms of structure, a well-organized Introduction presents a funnel shape, or in other words, it begins with stating general research scope and then narrows down to the research focus. In order to write an effective Introduction, Swales Feak (2012) proposes a widely used discourse pattern, known as the Create-a-Research-Space (or CARS) model. 点击添加文本点击添加文本点击添加文本点击添加文本Overview In addition to the structure, this unit will also focus on some basic skills for introduction writing. Firstly, an Introduction may contain a relevant definition, so you should know how to write definitions, including short definitions and extended definitions. Secondly, Citations, which may take different forms, are indispensable parts as well in the Introduction. You’ll learn how to cite works correctly. Thirdly, Paraphrasing is a very important and fundamental skill you should master in academic writing for you are likely to change the wording and structure of the original text while retaining the original idea when you cite information from a source. Besides, four different methods to establish a niche or to give the reasons for your research are recommended with some useful words indicating judgmental, contrastive or negative evaluation. 点击添加文本点击添加文本点击添加文本点击添加文本Overview Sometimes, you will report the value of your study. By using modal auxiliaries (may, can, would, etc.), the statements about the value would sound more cautious and acceptable. To establish a smooth flow of ideas in the Introduction section, you can link sentences by using old-to-new information pattern, which places old or familiar information at the beginning of the sentence and new or unfamiliar information at the end.点击添加文本点击添加文本点击添加文本点击添加文本Informati
