[00:11。22]This is the VOA Special English Education Report。 [00:15。35]Today in our Foreign Student Series we discuss writing college papers。 [00:22。70]Writing a term paper, [00:24。86]research paper or essay for a college class is a kind of academic writing。 [00:30。22]Academic writing among professionals is a way to create new knowledge。 [00:38。92]A professor assigns students to write a paper。 [00:44。37]The students examine an issue, [00:47。07]review what is already known, [00:49。18]think about what they have learned and come to some conclusion。 [00:55。95]This means that each student-writer must present information and also take a position。 [01:02。86]The student might support an idea, [01:06。17]question it or even disprove it。 [01:09。32]Or the writer could show how the subject may be understood better or in a different way than it has been。 [01:18。39]And the student must support the position with evidence。[01:24。27]Cultural differences may interfere when international students try to write this way。 [01:31。00]Writing teachers say students in many countries have learned to write beautiful descriptions about something without ever stating the main idea。 [01:46。14]American college students are expected to state their main idea at the beginning of the paper。[01:54。19]In other cultures, [01:56。47]paragraphs may be organized to build toward the main idea, [02:01。92]which is revealed at the end。 [02:05。43]But in the United States, [02:08。06]the main idea of each paragraph should be in the first sentence。 [02:13。44] Another difference is about writing style。 [02:18。45]Other cultures may use lots of descriptive words。 [02:23。13]But American English values short, [02:26。89]strong sentences。[02:28。55]Teachers at the writing center at Purdue University in West Lafayette, [02:35。86]Indiana work with students to improve their writing。 [02:39。32]Graduate tutor Lars Soderlund says non-native English speakers generally have some trouble with English grammar。 [02:51。22]He says their sentences may be too long。 [02:55。16]Or they incorrectly use articles such as "a", [03:01。48]"an" and "the。" He also says non-native speakers generally use too much emotional language and give too many details before getting to the main idea。 [03:17。88]The associate director of the writing center, [03:20。94]Tammi Conard-Salvo, [03:23。45]says international students should look online for materials that explain the kind of writing they will be required to do。 [03:35。59]They should ask their professors for help。 [03:38。32]Most colleges have a writing center where they can get free individual help with their work。[03:49。96]Links to writing center materials can be found on our Web site, [03:55。11]voaspecialenglish。com。 [03:56。46]And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, [04:00。73]written by Nancy Steinbach。 [04:03。64]I'm Jim Tedder。 这里是原声朗读与原文,均可下载。祝你成功!
