14、gap-filling task. 0 【听力原文】 How to Write a Thesis Today, I will talk about the most important parts of thesis writing. That is, introduction, methods, results and discussion. First, its the introduction part. You cant write a good introduction until you know what the body of the paper says.(1) Consid
15、er writing the introductory section after you have completed the rest of the paper, rather than before.(2) Be sure to include a hook at the beginning of the introduction. This is a statement of something sufficiently interesting to motivate your reader to read the rest of the paper: it is an importa
16、nt and interesting scientific problem that your paper either solves or addresses. You should draw the reader in and make them want to read the rest of the paper.(3) The next paragraphs in the introduction should cite previous research in this area. It should cite those who had the idea or ideas firs
17、t, and should also cite those who have done the most recent and relevant work. You should then go on to explain why more work is necessary. What else belongs in the introductory section of your paper?(4) First, its a statement of the goal of the paper. That is why the study was undertaken, or why th
18、e paper was written. Do not repeat the abstract. Second, you should present sufficient background information to allow the reader to understand the context and significance of the question you are trying to address.(5) Third, youd better give a proper acknowledgement of the previous work on which yo
19、u are building. Sufficient references such that a reader could, by going to the library, achieve a sophisticated understanding of the context and significance of the question. Fourth, the introduction should be focused on the thesis questions. All cited work should be directly relevant to the goals
20、of the thesis. This is not a place to summarize everything you have ever read on a subject.(6) Fifth, explain the scope of your work, what will and will not be included? Sixth, you may draw a verbal “road map“ or verbal “table of contents“ guiding the reader to what lies ahead. Seventh,(7) make it o
21、bvious where introductory material ends and your contribution begins. Remember that this is not a review paper. We are looking for original work and analysis by you. Break up the introduction section into logical segments by using subheads. The following important part is the method part.(8) This se
22、ction should contain information to allow the reader to assess the believability of your results and information needed by another researcher to replicate your experiment.(9) Hence you should describe clearly your materials, procedure, theories, calculations, technique, equipment, and calibration pl
23、ots. Besides,(10) this section also includes limitations, assumptions, and range of validity, as well as description of your analytical methods, including reference to any specialized statistical software. Remember, citations in this section should be limited to data sources and references of where
24、to find more complete descriptions of procedures. Do not include descriptions of results. Next, Id like to talk about the result part.(11) The results are actual statements of observations, including statistics, tables and graphs. It should indicate information on range of variation and mention nega
25、tive results as well as positive. Do not interpret results and save that for the discussion. Present sufficient details so that others can draw their own inferences and construct their own explanations. Break up your results into logical segments by using subheadings. And remember, key results shoul
26、d be stated in clear sentences at the beginning of paragraphs. Besides, describe the nature of the findings. Do not just tell the reader whether or not they are significant. Finally, it is the discussion part.(12) This section should start with a few sentences that summarize the most important resul
27、ts.(13) The whole section should be a brief essay in itself and answer the following questions: First, what are the major patterns in the observations? Second, what are the relationships, trends and generalizations among the results? Third, what are the exceptions to these patterns or generalization
28、s? Fourth, what are the likely causes underlying these patterns resulting predictions? Fifth, is there agreement or disagreement with previous work? Sixth, interpret results in terms of background laid out in the introduction what is the relationship of the present results to the original question?
29、Seventh, what is the implication of the present results for other unanswered questions in earth sciences, ecology, environmental policy, etc. Eighth, what are your hypotheses: There are usually several possible explanations for results. Be careful to consider all of these rather than simply pushing
30、your favorite one. If you can eliminate all but one, that is great, but often that is not possible with the data in hand. In that case you should give even treatment to the remaining possibilities, and try to indicate ways in which future work may lead to their Discrimination. Ninth, avoid jumping a
31、 currently fashionable point of view unless your results really do strongly support them. Tenth, what are the things we now know or understand that we didnt know or understand before the present work? The final one is what the significance of the present results is. In other words, why should we car
32、e? (14) This section should be rich in references to similar work and background needed to interpret results. However, the discussion section is often too long and wordy.(15) Is there material that does not contribute to one of the elements I mentioned above? If so, this may be material that you wil
33、l want to consider deleting or moving. Remember to break up the section into logical segments by using subheads. Thesis writing is not an easy thing, because each part is important and they are so closely interrelated that you cannot neglect any of them. However, if you can grasp the points I mentio
34、ned just now, you may find it much more controllable. I hope todays lecture is helpful to you more or less. And next time I will talk about the problem of word choice in thesis writing.

42、our summer vacation. When it comes to lodging, hotels are the first, and often the only option considered by most people. But now a growing group of travelers are finding comfort in a full-fledged home away from home. And here with more is Travelzoo editor Gabe Saglie. Good morning, Gabe. M: Good to
43、 see you. W: Zoo is a little bit of a fantasy. I would love to do this with my whole family: go away and rent a house. A lot more people are doing it, so is this a trend? M: Well. I love the great hotel, and hotels are always going to be the No. 1 choice really for travelers.(1 -1) They are convenie
44、nt, easy to book and you know what you are getting. But more people are traveling today than ever before, for a greater variety of reasons than ever before.(1 - 2) So vacation rentals offer probably greater options now, depending on the kind of the trip that you want to take. Youre literally renting
45、 somebodys home, right? W: Yes. M:(2) You get amenities like fully-equipped kitchens, washer dryer, and things like Internet access and parking, which usually carry price tag at the hotel and have standard fare at the vacation rentals. W:(3) You usually think its going to be more expensive automatic
46、ally than a hotel would be, but thats often not the case. M:(4) When I was doing research for the segment, I found that, for example, a castle in the French countryside, a medieval castle that sleeps 34 people on 20 acres for 7,000 dollars for the week comes out about 200 dollars per person for the
47、entire week. In the French countryside, on 20 acres in a castle, thats amazing. Travelers published a two-bedroom condo in Orlando this week for 95 dollars that sleeps six. While youre right next to World Disney, steps away from the Sea World and Universal Studios, this is a great value option for a
48、 family. W:(5) The only concern that I might raise would be that, with a hotel, if you have any problems, you go and complain to the management. You know they are going to be responsive. You are going to need that same level of service if you have any problems in a rental type situation. This is the
49、 end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard. 1. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of hotels? 2. Which of the following services is NOT provided by vacation rentals? 3. What is the advantage of vacation rentals? 4. How much does a medieval castle in the French countryside cost a head per day? 5.
