如何寫好一篇英語論文

You need some help? Some people say essays are tricky. Here are some helpful hints to make them less difficult.
你需要幫助嗎？有人說，論文很難寫。這裏有一些有用的提示，可幫助你克服寫作中的困難。

1. Take your prompt and pick it apart! Understand exactly what it is asking you to do. If it says evaluate, then you conclude, if it says to compare or contrast then do that. Take notes!
1. 抓住主題，深刻領會！準確理解它要求你做什麼。如果說是寫評價，那麼你就得出結論，如果說是比較或對比，那麼就照此去做。務必要作好筆記！

2. Look over whatever the prompt addresses and begin to pick that apart based on what your prompt is asking for, and do not discriminate yet, take all of it. Take notes on ideas for the prompt, and mark pages in any literature you may be using.
2. 認真審覈主題到底要說明什麼，然後根據你的主題要求開始提煉選材，但選材不拘一格，多多益善。爲主題觀點做好筆記，並標記出你可能使用的任何文獻的章頁。

3. Look at the prompt and the information you've gathered and begin to group ideas together so you can create a working thesis. The working thesis will give your essay a focus so you don't digress in the middle of your writing.
3. 根據主題和你收集的信息，開始將觀點組合在一起，這樣你就可以創建一個寫作大綱。寫作大綱將突出你的重點，以便你在寫作中不會偏離主題。

4. Continue your brain-storming and write the topic sentence for your first body paragraph. Make sure it provides a focus for your paragraph and it isn't general. Find examples from life (direct quotes, paraphrasing, etc.) or from the topic literature that you can use in your first body paragraph. Make sure it follows your working thesis, but don't actually write the paragraph yet.
4. 開動腦筋精益求精，寫出第一個主體段的總起句。確保它成爲你第一個主體段的重點，而不是泛泛而論。從生活中（直接引用，轉述等）或同一主題文獻中找到可以用在你第一個主體段的的範例。確保它與你的寫作大綱一致，但先不要正式寫這個段落。

5. Do the same for the other body paragraphs.
5. 依次處理其他主體段落。

6. Write your concluding statements for each paragraph. Please note that it is a CONCLUDING statement, meaning you need to bluntly say what point you are trying to make and lead it into your next body paragraph.
6. 寫出每個段落的總結性語句。請注意，這是總結語句，也就是說你要直截了當地說明你想闡述的觀點，並將其引入下一個主體段。

7. Brain-storm for your introductory paragraph. Start by either addressing a theme or a topic you've researched that is relevant to your essay. Now look at your working thesis. What parts of it look like a summary? Take those out and put them into your intro. Look at your working thesis again. You need a fact or some sort of event which is relevant to your topic, to put into that thesis. Paraphrase it, and add in whatever point you are trying to make to it.
7. 仔細斟酌你的引言段落。開始可先確定一個與論文相關的研究主題或標題。現在看看你的寫作大綱。它的哪些部分看起來像總結？把這些部分提出放入你的引言。再看你的寫作大綱。你需要找到與你主題相關需加入論文的某個事實或事件。加以解述，並添加你想證明的觀點。

8. Read whatever notes you took for your body paragraphs and look at your thesis for your concluding paragraph. You need to reiterate all the points you make in your body paragraph and relate them briefly to your thesis to show how they are all connected.
8. 讀一讀你爲主體段落所做的筆記，並審看一下你總結性段落的主旨。你需要重申在你在主體段中提出的所有觀點，將其與你的論文簡潔聯繫起來，以說明它們之間是何種關係。

9. Write. This is the easiest part after you've outlined it all already.
9. 寫下來。當你列出所有這些主線，寫作就是輕而易舉的事情。

10. Look for grammatical mistakes. Look it over today, and see if you can pick anything out that is really obvious.
10. 尋找語法錯誤。當天過一遍目，看看你是否能挑出什麼特別明顯的錯誤。

11. Look at your essay once again on the next day and fix it. Redact it. Make sure it is grammatically perfect. Read it out loud to see if anything sounds awkward, and fix it.
11. 第二天再看一遍論文，並作修改。校訂論文。確保它在語法上無懈可擊。大聲地朗讀，看看有沒有什麼聽起來格外彆扭的地方，並加以修改。tips:
提示：

Make sure your writing is logical. Don't just throw ideas together and hope they make sense.
確保你的寫作合乎邏輯。不能只是將觀點羅列在一起，指望他們自行說明意義。

Don't worry too much about grammatical mistakes, or synonyms for words you have just used in the sentence before. Just underline or highlight it and then go over it in your second draft. The important thing is to get it all down in the first place.
不必過於擔心語法錯誤，或擔心你剛用在前句中的同義詞。只要用下劃線或高亮將其突出顯示出來，然後在第二稿中仔細推敲。最重要的是先把寫作完成。

If you don't need the internet, disconnect! Nothing is more distracting than the internet when you're typing up your essay and are feeling extremely bored.
如果你不需要互聯網，那就斷開！當你正在鍵入文章並倍感無聊時，沒有什麼比互聯網更讓人分心的啦。

Have a thesaurus and a dictionary handy at all times, especially if you have the habit of using words whose meanings you are not completely sure of.
手頭要始終有一個同義詞詞典和一本字典，尤其是如果你習慣於使用你不能完全確定含義的字詞。
