Part I Questions

1.Why should we write quotes in an essay

Because we should give credit to quoted authors.

Whenever you use someone else’s words in an essay, you must indicate clearly that the words are not your own. You do this by using proper formatting and by using endnotes to give the original author credit. There are two basic ways to format quotations, one for short quotations and the other for long quotes.

2. How to write a quote in an essay

1)Select your quotations carefully and don’t use more than you need. Use

quotations when accuracy or exact wording is important or when the quotation makes a powerful point. Introduce the quotations in your own words and make sure they fit smoothly into the flow of your essay.

2)Use double quotation marks around a quotation when you use a direct quotation

that is less than four lines long. Don’t use quotation marks around paraphrased material (material summarized in your own words).

3)Indent a quotation if it is more than four lines long. Do not use quotation marks

around indented quotations.

4)Capitalize the first letter of a quote if it is a complete sentence but not if it is a

fragment. Put periods and commas inside quotation marks. Put colons and semicolons outside. Put question marks and exclamation points inside the quotation marks if they are part of the quotation, but put them outside the quotation marks if they refer to the sentence as a whole.

5)Give endnotes to every quotation, even paraphrased quotations, at the end of the

essay.

Part II Essay正文字体、标题、行距、段落等格式

正文全文1.5倍行距，除题目和标题外，都用Times New Roman小四号。

题目和标题写法：大写除介词、冠词外的单词首字母（第一个词是介词则大写）具体范例如下：

On Positive Chinese-to-English Transfer Introduction

Language transfer is the influence resulting from similarities and differences between the target language and any other language that has been previously acquired. …

This essay aims to discuss the positive effects and influences from Chinese to English language in Chinese students’English learning process, and to find out whether there is positive transfer from Chinese to English language in Chinese students’ English learning process.

1. Comparison between English and Chinese Language

English language and Chinese language as two branches of language are out of question having some similarities. However, because they belong to two different language systems, their users’ different cultural conventions and political beliefs make them differ from each other. All those similarities and differences to some extent make impacts on the language transfer between English and Chinese. This thesis is going to compare English and Chinese language from the perspective of pronunciation, vocabulary and discourse.

1.1 Pronunciation

English and Chinese are two different languages: English belongs to Indo-European Language while Chinese belongs to Sino-Tibetan Languages. Chinese language has nineteen monophthongs and diphthongs, twenty-one consonants while English has twenty monophthongs and diphthongs, twenty-eight consonants. Therefore in spite of those same monophthongs, diphthongs and consonants, there are

still some English pronunciations which can not be found in Chinese language, such as [∫] and [t∫].

1.1.1 Chinese Language vs. English Language

Although the researches on the language transfer are without number, they are mostly based on two different foreign languages (such as English and French). But, Chinese experts at home have been branching out a great amount of experiments and studies, among which most of the experts held the ideas that there must exist negative transfer from mother language (hear refers to Chinese language) to the second language (here refers to English language). However, researches on the positive transfer from Chinese language to English language are scarce.

…

以此类推

Conclusion

The present study is an attempt to find out whether there is positive Chinese-to-English transfer in Chinese students’English learning process. From the above analysis it is obvious to see that ... Learners and teachers should make great use of those linguistic and non-linguistic factors, so as to promote the positive transfer from Chinese language to English language.

Part III Essay 正文加注举例

假设引用的是作者David Nunan 2008年的著作

1.直接引用，用于4行字内(加引号)

e.g.1 Nunan (2008) pointed out “While some cultures may not insist so heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc., American culture does.”e.g. 2 “While some cultures may not insist so heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc., American culture does.” (Nunan, 2008)

2.直接引用，超过4行(不加引号)

e.g. 3

Many rules have to do with research and proper citation. As is pointed out:

While some cultures may not insist so heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc., American culture does. A charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences, including expulsion from a university or loss of a job, not to mention a writer's loss of credibility and professional standing. This resource, which does not reflect any official university policy, is designed to help you develop strategies for knowing how to avoid accidental plagiarism. (Nunan, 2008)

3.间接引用（用自己的话转引，不加引号）

e.g. 4

As Nunan (2008) pointed out American culture insists heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc. and a charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences.

e.g. 5

American culture insists heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc. and a charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences (Nunan, 2008) 4.电子文献引用

由于电子文献可能没有作者，引用时就注文章题目（题目只需写前3个词）；没有出版日期的，就注引用时间。

e.g. 6

The phrase English Corner commonly applies to informal periods of instruction in English held at schools and colleges in China. These sessions are sometimes led by

native Chinese teachers or less often by teachers who are native speakers of English. The emphasis in these sessions is on improving the oral English skills of the participants. Often the activities in primary and secondary schools focus on cultural activities such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas among other festivals and holidays common in English speaking countries. As an informal session the topics can be far ranging. Usually English Corner activities are held on Friday afternoons after lunch in many schools (English Corner, 2010).
