From Inquiry to Academic Writing : A Text and Reader （3TH）

Activities in the classroom: Have you heard about academic papers of "students"? How do you define "academic writing"? What is the purpose of academic papers? Who is the reader of academic literature? By contrast, what is the purpose of public writing - is it to write outside the school? Who will read the public text? What kind are used in academic and public places? What is the relationship between reading and academic papers? Discuss these problems in class. In addition, we will discuss your first paper assignment, compare rhetorical analysis, and begin discussing elements of rhetorical situation.

Regardless of the type of article you write, academic papers rarely reveal authors and are not involved in dialogue with readers. Reader's interpretation is more like a novel than academic papers. When writing college articles, it is necessary not to attract readers' emotions and personality, but to separate themselves, objectively, and analytically. For example, painlessness is not a negative term in that sense. However, using it will allow the reader to concentrate on the pain rather than the lack of pain. Therefore it is best to use more positive synonyms instead of so-called negative languages, such as using the economy rather than cheap, or using comfort / happiness instead of painless.

Strong academic writing takes a position on related subjects - it tries the reader to convince a specific perspective or assertion. This statement is called "paper statement". Most academic papers are used to use facts and details to "prove" that description is correct for the reader. The method depends on academic field. In science, research papers provide their own experiments and data to support their assertions, and in the literature class articles cite quotes from articles that were summarized in a larger discussion. Regardless of discipline, the main purpose of most academic papers is to persuade readers to agree with this claim.

Anyone who writes scientific papers knows that writing powerful presentations is the key to further success. A written hook is small information in front of the text itself and the reader may consider reading further in advance or even bored in minutes or hours. A good hook creates a connection immediately between the author and the viewer. But how do you write a good strategy? Unfortunately, there is no single model or magic formula to draw readers' attention. But there are some tips on how to improve it.
