沒有訓(xùn)練過學(xué)術(shù)英語寫作的同學(xué)初接觸全英文的學(xué)術(shù)寫作，要完成學(xué)術(shù)英文寫作，要比接觸過英文寫作的同學(xué)困難得多。很多細(xì)節(jié)他們都沒有注意，寫的文章比較口語化，這樣的文章，批改作業(yè)的老師或者閱卷的老師看到之后，自然會被判為不專業(yè)的寫作，從而丟失了寶貴的分?jǐn)?shù)。

下面我們舉幾個例子來幫助同學(xué)們避免范同樣的錯誤。

1、避免使用反問句、設(shè)問句。

例如： What’s the objective of the information? Is it to makepeople more confused and astray? I partly agree with theauthor’s contention that the enormous and otiose information sometimes render people lose their way and fail to consider question penetratingly and originally.

在作文的開頭就扔出兩個問題，然后接下來的陳述卻與問題基本毫無干系。作為讀者，首先要考慮那兩個問題的答案到底是什么，然后才能往下讀。這些在中文里可能會被評作“引人入勝”的好詞好句，在英語的論文寫作里面，可以說是最大的敗筆之一。如果你一定要問問題的話，那就改成陳述句式，例如：Whether this issue is right or wrong? 可以改成：It has been a controversial issue that.....

2、避免集中使用“Be”動詞。

避免集中使用"Be"動詞，包括is,are,has been,have been,etc.

例如：What is the purpose of education? Some people may say that the purpose of education should be to create a totally academic environment that separates from the outside world,for,they think,this situation allows students to focus on their academic research work without beingdisturbed by practical concerns. In fact,this suggestion is harmful to the scientific research work.

這是某一篇文章的開頭。作者除了要注意不要使用疑問句以外，還有很重要的一點(diǎn)：總共兩三句話，出現(xiàn)4個"Be"動詞。這種寫法，在英語里面被稱作"non-act"的動詞。"Be" 僅僅表示一種狀態(tài)，例如："i am here","you are there". 對于母語者來說，"Be"動詞其實(shí)就是寫在紙上，而沒有任何感情色彩。所以應(yīng)該盡量避免成篇累牘地使用，具體大家可以咨詢留學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)進(jìn)行了解。我們的例子可以改為：

Some people argue that the purpose of education lies in its strength in creating a totally academic environment separated from the outside world. They think this situation allows students to focuson academic research by excluding outside disturbance from practical concerns. However,this suggestion in fact does harm to the scientific research work.
