第一次作业

Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(120 Questions for Writers

写文章的第一步,就是理解题目。而通常我们感觉无话可说,也是由于没有能够充分把握topic的核心概念,关键词。这一专题就是针对如何理解key words
20个问题的分析与归类,整理如下:

一、Key word

定义与划界
1.       1.What does X mean? (Definition)
10. How is X like or unlike Y? (Comparison)
这是我认为最重要的一环,因为人们对issue不同的理解很大程度上是基于对概念不同的定义,而用结构主义的说法,定义意味的划界,即把边界确定下来,把范围明确下来,这应是后文展开论证的基础和起点。

二、Key word内部的分析
2.
What are the various features of X? (Description)
3. What are the component parts of X? (Simple Analysis)
4. How is X made or done? (Process Analysis)
5. How should X be made or done? (Directional Analysis)
6. What is the essential function of X? (Functional Analysis)

9. What are the types of X? (Classification)
12. What is the significance of X? (Interpretation)
这是对key word的基础理解部分,可以从几个维度----特点,组成,过程,应然,作用,类别。

三、key word的深度分析
7. What are the causes of X? (Causal Analysis) BE EACW
8. What are the consequences of X? (Causal Analysis)
因果的分析应属于深度的分析,在逻辑的层面归因和推论是基于对概念或事物本身的认识的深入,同时又可促进对于事物的理解。

四、key word之外的分析
11. What is the present status of X? (Comparison)
13. What are the facts about X? (Reportage)
14. How did X happen? (Narration)
15. What kind of person is X? (Characterization/Profile)
在概念之外对于与外界的联系也应是十分重要的方面,尤其是与现实社会的联系,在当地语境下的展开等等,可以从以下几个维度:地位(重要性),事实,叙事,与人的关联

五、主体的认识
16. What is my personal response to X? (Reflection)
17. What is my memory of X? (Reminiscence)
18. What is the value of X? (Evaluation)
个人的理解其实已经包含在以上所有问题之中,因为人的一切认知和感受都带有主观性,没有所谓事实和真理,没有唯一的正确和错误的判断,只有不同的理解和解释方式而已。这里的几个问题,可以理解为对于人认知的主观建构性的一个强调。

六、总结和延展
19. What are the essential major points or features of X? (Summary)
20. What case can be made for or against X? (Persuasion)
基于以上的分析,可以得出一个结论,一个该概念或事物的中心特征,并在论据层面展开思考。

【Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(2)Writing Anxiety




本讲针对如何缓解写作的紧张和焦虑。作为学心理的,这些小的策略还是相当熟悉,克服焦虑的中心思想是放松。总结一下,比如深呼吸,伸懒腰,做会儿运动,或是通过过度的使肌肉紧张之后的释放来放松-------都是通过放松肌肉来缓解紧张感。毕竟,人的身心联系的紧密程度是远远超出我们的平常的理解。此外,通过意念来放松也是可行的,这就用到了心理暗示。要注意用正面的暗示,想象正面的结果,情绪。相信我的的意识之下的潜意识有巨大的能量。

这些策略更多的可以应用到考场的环境,而曾经的经验告诉我,真正缓解焦虑要靠实力,是自己一点一滴的努力换来的实实在在的进步得来的自信,给你真正坦然的面对考试的力量。没有真正的实力和水平,再好的心理素质也会心虚的。真正的功夫在于平时,在于每天的努力,在于脚下的每一步脚印。

【Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(3)Writer's Block

对于神经性写作便秘的症状介绍及治疗建议


真是很有趣的形容,看后也收获良多。想想曾经面对AW题目的那个绝望的心情,不堪回首啊……这里做些概括。

对题目没有准备时——写下所有的想法先。(想起曾经看到类似的方法,就是先找张白纸,随便写任何想到的东西,然后再整理思路,写成文章)

题目不喜欢——通过转化和限制题目,选取最佳角度

无法开始——与朋友聊聊话题、降低期望值assure yourself that the first draft doesn't have to be a work of genius, it is something to work with.
(非常重要的策略:大多数时候我们无法开始,就是因为有太高的期望。降低期望值,应是下笔之前应做好的工作。文章是改出来的不是写出来的,切记!!!)

强迫自己写下点什么、将任务分成几个步骤。

终极策略——

1可以从任何一段开始Begin in the Middle Start writing at whatever point you like.

2与人谈论Talk about what you want to write someone

3将写作变成录音Tape the Paper Talk into a tape recorder, imagining your audience sitting in front of you. Then, transcribe the tape-recorded material. You'll at least have some ideas written down to work with and move around.

(很强悍的方法,值得一试)

4假装写给小孩,密友等(减少压力)Change the Audience Pretend

5(变换视角)Play a RolePretend you are someone else writing the paper——help you see things that are otherwise invisible or difficult to articulate, and your writing will be stronger for it.

【Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(4)start to write

本讲具体化开始一个实际文章的步骤。非常实用的一节了

Ask yourself what your purpose is for writing about the subject.写文章究竟要达到什么目的?

Ask yourself how you are going to achieve this purpose.怎样达到目的?

Start the ideas flowing——Brainstorm、Talk to your audience从不同的视角反思、find a fresh analogy that opens up a new set of idea

Take a rest and let it all percolate.

Nutshell your whole idea.Tell it to someone in three or four sentences

Diagram your major points somehow.(图解的方法——理清思路和逻辑,非常好的方法!!)

Write a first draft.

highlighting sentence length——Make a copy of your main file and, using that copy, hit the return key after each sentence so that each looks like a separate paragraph. Are all of your sentences the same length? Do they all start the same way and need some variety?(非常好的策略,将每句话作为一段,检查其长短句的搭配和句式的变化)

Editing and Proofreading

using online tools——除语法拼写错误外,还可检查是否有频率太高的词,很好很强大,但不可拘泥。回去搜搜喽。

【Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(6)thesis statement


一、什么是主题句?
What is a thesis?
A thesis statement declares what you believe and what you intend to prove. (主题句说明你的观点和要论证的论点)
主题句一般出现在开头的最后一两句.
Remember, your reader will be looking for your thesis. Make it clear, strong, and easy to find.使主题句清晰!
Argumentative Thesis Statements
In an argumentative paper, you are making a claim about a topic and justifying this claim with reasons and evidence. This claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation.
n argumentative thesis statement will tell your audience:

·
your claim or assertion
·
the reasons/evidence that support this claim
·
the order in which you will be presenting your reasons and evidence
(此处有疑问了,reason 或evidence应该不会出现在主题句中吧?如果主题句中出现because会不会太具体了??此处保留意见)

二、什么是好的主题句的属性?
可辩论性
可以在文章内充分展开并完成
有针对性
清晰的表明立场(基于论据)
·
It avoids vague language (like "it seems").

·
It avoids the first person. ("I believe," "In my opinion") (强烈注意,不要使用第一人称!!!!)
·
It should pass the So what? or Who cares? test

To be sure to choose a topic worth arguing about or exploring. This means to construct a thesis statement or research question about a problem that is still debated, controversial, up in the air.

非常非常深刻的思想。写文章之前一定要问自己,这篇文章到底是为了什么。这是非常关键的一个问题却常常被我们忽视。想想我们的文章到底为什么低分,我们这篇文章根本就没有价值,只是为了写作而写作,无关痛痒的话题或是根本不值得讨论的问题。没有思想没有立场,怎么好写怎么写,这是我们写AW时的通病。而AW是什么??是表达自己的观点并论证,以说服对方,是与别人的交流。如果仅仅是为了完成一篇文章而写作,这样的文章是没有灵魂的,不写也罢。以后的每一篇文章,都要是自己思考的成果,是一篇有意义有灵魂的文章。

应该是草木版主自己的总结吧,不完全赞同,但值得思考借鉴——
主题句的dos and don’ts
Dos:
表明立场,具体,并且中心明确,表明自己的观点和结论,出现在开头段的末尾,同时提示读者作者的行文思路.
Don’ts:
不要说废话,说空话,说大话,不要出现第一人称,不要含糊不清.

公式:

Specific topic + Attitude/Angle/Argument = Thesis

What you plan to argue + How you plan to argue it = Thesis

一、
如何检验自己写好的主题句是否合格?
Try these five tests:

·
Does the thesis  inspire a reasonable reader to ask, "How?" or Why?" 吸引读者思考

·
Would a reasonable reader NOT respond with "Duh!" or "So what?" or "Gee, no kidding!" or "Who cares?" 避免出现so what问题

·
Does the thesis  avoid general phrasing and/or sweeping words such as "all" or "none" or "every"? 避免绝对的论调

·
Does the thesis lead the reader toward the topic sentences (the subtopics needed to prove the thesis)? 主题句是否引导了下文的分论点或者段主题?

·
Can the thesis be adequately developed in the required length of the paper or project? 主题句是否可以适合被展开论述?

If you cannot answer "YES" to these questions, what changes must you make in order for your thesis to pass these tests?

非常好的总结真是!

四、如何写出好的主题句?(思维的步骤)——具体写主题句的方式
1.Rank with justification 考虑重要性
2.Contrasts (of perspectives of sources) 对比,考虑流行和反对观点
3.Perception versus reality; 感觉与现实
4.Good versus bad reasons:
5. Cause and Effect: 因果关系
6.Challenge:质疑,否定

五、对于主题的头脑风暴:
How to Tell a Strong Thesis Sentence from a Weak One.·
1. A strong thesis takes some sort of stand.明确表明立场!


·
2. A strong thesis justifies discussion.留给大家质疑和讨论的余地


·
3. A strong thesis expresses one main idea.表达一个主要观点


·
4. A strong thesis statement is specific.具体而不抽象

7.Topic Sentences and Signposting

文章的三层次模型(有意思)

First--------thesis and the broad strokes of an essay's structure

Middle-----Topic sentences and signposts

Last-------- sentence-level editing and polishing

TS定义

Topic sentences
reveal the main point of a paragraph
. They argue rather than report.

Signposts, as their name suggests, prepare the reader for a change in the argument's direction.

Topic sentences and signposts make an essay's claims clear to a reader. Good essays contain both.

Forms of Topic Sentences

Sometimes topic sentences are actually two or even three sentences long

you should work to vary the form your topic sentences take(要注意使用多种形式的TS

1.Complex sentences.
(利用复合句,联系上下文的作用)

应用在:always move from old to new information

2.Questions.
(提问---开头提出问题后文解答)

Questions are by definition a form of inquiry, and thus demand an answer. Good essays strive for this forward momentum.

3.Bridge sentences.

4.Pivots.

Topic sentences don't always appear at the beginning of a paragraph.

When they come in the middle, they indicate that the paragraph will change direction, or "pivot."

信号词:"but," "yet," or "however," or a longer phrase or sentence that indicates an about-face.

Signposts

Signposts operate as topic sentences for whole sections in an essay.

8.段落的逻辑顺序


通过多种段落顺序的列举可知:
并不是所有的文章都是要按照ascending orders的,其实别的顺序都可以接受,包括descending的。主要是按照合理的顺序,说清楚意思就好。
实际的文章写作,没有这么单纯的顺序,Issue题目中,许多复杂的问题远不能拿这些逻辑顺序概括。实际上,我们把这种复杂的顺序叫做the flow of mind,根据论证的思路排序


处理段落顺序的方法(非常值得借鉴)

1.三“W”法:Answering Questions:
The Parts of an Essay

A typical essay contains many different kinds of information,

Even short essays perform several different operations: introducing the argument(介绍论点), analyzing data(分析资料), raising counter-arguments(发起反面论证), concluding(结论). Introductions and conclusions have fixed places, but other parts don't.

It's helpful to think of the different essay sections as answering a series of questions your reader might ask when encountering your thesis.

"What?"
What evidence shows that the phenomenon described by your thesis is true?
(证明结论是真实的)This "what" or "demonstration" section comes early in the essay, often directly after the introduction.
But be forewarned: it shouldn't take up much more than a third (often much less) of your finished essay(注意!不要超过总篇幅的三分之一).

"How?" whether the claims of the thesis are true in all cases. (结论是否有普适性)
This section usually comes after the "what,"
but keep in mind that an essay may complicate its argument several times depending on its length, and that counter-argument alone may appear just about anywhere in an essay.

"Why?"
Why does your interpretation of a phenomenon matter to anyone beside you?(主张的重要意义)he fullest answer to it properly belongs at your essay's end.

一、
Mapping an Essay文章地图法:

Structuring your essay according to a reader's logic means examining your thesis and anticipating what a reader needs to know, and in what sequence, in order to grasp and be convinced by your argument as it unfolds.

具体步骤:
*
State your thesis in a sentence or two, then write another sentence saying why it's important to make that claim.why

*
Begin your next sentence like this: "To be convinced by my claim, the first thing a reader needs to know is . . ." Then say why that's the first thing a reader needs to know, and name one or two items of evidence you think will make the case.what
(Alternately, you may find that the first thing your reader needs to know is some background information.)
*
Begin each of the following sentences like this: "The next thing my reader needs to know is . . ."
Once again, say why, and name some evidence. Continue until you've mapped out your essay.


注意不要写成堆积型(这是我们绝大部分中国学生都常犯的毛病)
such essays generally have a descriptive thesis rather than an argumentative one.
Be wary of paragraph openers that lead off with "time" words ("first," "next," "after," "then") or "listing" words ("also," "another," "in addition").

9.段落内部的关系

一、段落的基本概念:
1.
段落的作用:An informative paragraph should tell your readers all they need to know about a single idea, in a logical sequence, without wasting their time with irrelevant detail.

这里注意段落基本的三要素:
l
一个独立的观点-和Thesis密切相关
l
一个合理的逻辑顺序
l
没有无关细节
2.
段落的长短问题:

An essay is like a girl's skirt-it should be long enough to cover the topic(body) and short enough to be interesting!
长短适度,根据话题和论述的需要。


一、段落的组成结构:
1.The topic sentence:


有两个作用:首先它实际上是你本段话题的Thesis,起到和全文的Thesis一样的作用。其次,它是全文的Thesis的进一步的推广和具体化;一般来说,TS总是在文章的开头的第一或者第二句话,很少可以见到在文章的最后出现,并且最好不要这样使用!
2.Supporting evidence/analysis:
由论据和论证组成,为了合理的论证观点TS.必须在论据和论证之间找到一个平衡

3.The conclusion(observation):
结论句总是在文章的最后一句或者倒数第二句!结论句除了总结上文的论述,还要在此总结上做好向下一个分论点的过度。


二、段落组成的内容:
内容基本原则:

·
Orient your reader to the subject.

·
Tie your ideas together.

·
Take it easy through technically dense passages.

·
Arrange your ideas in a logical sequence.


三、段内句子连接:
注意三个原则:
l
Unity-所有句子讲同一个主题

l
Coherence-句子之间相互关联,共同构成有机整体

l
Connection-适当的连接句子

(一)
利用逻辑连接词连接段落:

(二)
利用重复:

利用人称和其他代词指代。
核心词重复(或者改写重复)
利用强调词:

10.如何使用论据论证?

(1)
Offer evidence that agrees with your stance up to a point, then add to it with ideas of your own.(正面论证)

(2)
Present evidence that contradicts your stance in order to argue against (refute) it and therefore strengthen your position(反证)

(3)
Use sources against each other, as if they are experts on a panel discussing your proposition

(4)
Use quotations to support your assertion, not merely to state or restate your claim. Weak and Strong Uses of Evidence(引用)

(为了使这些论据流畅的结合在一起,应该:)
o State your claim.
o Give your evidence, remembering to relate it to the claim.
o Comment on the evidence to show how it supports the claim

Discussing your evidence’s significance develops and expands a paper,Remember that your job during the course of your essay is to persuade your readers that your claims are feasible and the most effective way of interpreting the evidence
(一个新的思维方式——观点不是真理,而是解释现象的最佳方式)

修改文章时要注意:
Questions to Ask Yourself When Revising Your Paper
1) Do I avoid generalizing in my paper by specifically explaining how my evidence is representative?
2) Have I offered my reader evidence to substantiate each assertion I make in my paper?
3) Do I thoroughly explain why/how my evidence backs up my ideas?
4) Do I provide evidence that not only confirms but also qualifies my paper’s main claims?
5) Do I use evidence to test and evolve my ideas, rather than to just confirm them?
6) Do I cite my sources thoroughly and correctly?
