学术英语作文范文

I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education.

Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. These include computerized programs and access to internet research databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it’s depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information.

Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in last decade. More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this information available to its students.

It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to all the libraries' research tools as much of time as possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time.

Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sport activities.

1.大量的读，而且要读最好的材料

在读写部分，阅读是输入，写作是输出，而输入部分包含以下层面：知识背景，思辨模式。

在知识背景的输入方面，中国学生的问题不大，主要缺乏的是思辨模式，如果让一个同学看完一本书后说出这本书里用了哪些思辨模式，包括这一段的`功能是什么，跟上一段有什么联系，大部分同学都是不能总结出来的。

建议孩子可以抽空浏览国外的新闻网站，或者下载国外的新闻APP，比如：The New York Times、BBC、The Wall Street Journal、Economist等(其中一些app可能需要翻墙才能阅读哦)。注意要挑孩子感兴趣的话题，如果文中包含太多术语，孩子不仅看不懂，也会觉得枯燥无味。另外，感兴趣的话题可能还会激发孩子自觉地去查字典，增加词汇量。

2.有意识地储备背景知识

年纪比较小的同学平时看书看得较少，所以对社会话题的了解非常浅，经常说“这件事情我喜欢，那件事情我不喜欢”。

但是，喜欢与不喜欢是不可以写到学术写作当中去的，除非能给出非常明确的理由。比如，说清楚我不喜欢这件事的三点原因，并且每一点原因都有足够的证据支撑。

所以，建议学生在平时生活中，适当浏览社科类杂志，将一些能够作为论据的材料记录下来，扩大自己的背景知识储备。这样，在写作时才能做到有理有据。

3.大量写作，训练清晰表达和严谨逻辑

很多同学看了很多书，也背了很多单词，但平时一个字都不写，觉得上考场写就行了，这样是不对的。

平时应该大量的写，并且批改。日记、新闻总结及评论、书评/章评、文章评论等这些类型的文章都能写。主要是要发表自己的看法，还可以跟家长讨论，不管用中文还是英文讨论，都对写作有好处。

不停地写完后就是不停地改，训练个性化的行文风格和表达逻辑，写作就是这么提高的，不是套用一个框架就够了。一般来说，修改三到四稿后，才能说这篇作文已经写好了。
