章節(jié)摘錄

　　At most Chinese colleges or universities， undergraduates majoringEnglish language and literature are required of writing an academicthesis in English upon graduation. However， it is not an easy job formost native English-speaking university students to do this， let aloneChinese college students.　Writing an academic paper is a ratherdemanding task even for most successful language learners in anylanguage learning context. Realizing these facts， one might ask- whatmakes academic writing so difficult？ Is there any specific guidance forreference？ These questions had become the original intentions of thisbook.　Graduation thesis writing， as is in the case of ritual composition and literary writing， is a tough mental activity and of great importance. It is particularly true with thesis writing in English which is believed to be a daunting challenge for non-native speakers of English. Though it shares a lot with other styles of English writing， it has its own unique functions， characteristics and demands due to its peculiarity in writing purpose， readership， content and style of writing.
