学术论文英文摘要模板AbstractSince Dewey developed the concept of “critical thinking”, many scholars abroadhave carried out a series of studies about improving students' critical thinking skills ineducation field. In the 1980s,critical thinking became the target of higher educationprograms in such foreign countries as the US and Canada. It has gained its widespreadattention in China only in recent years. But there are only few studies about it ineducation field. Our traditional English teaching method pays much attention to thetraining of students' linguistic knowledge and language skills but ignores thecultivation of students' critical thinking abilities. In the process of skill practice,teachers often stress the importance of memorizing vocabulary and imitating skillsrigidly,but neglect the students' abilities in analyzing problems and putting forwardinnovative solutions. Therefore, English writing teaching is affected by this andmerely attaches emphasis to train students' reading and writing skills. There are fewstudies which aim at systematically cultivating students' analysis, synthesis, summary,comparison and reasoning skills while they are writing. Therefore,this study aims atdesigning some writingstasks and teaching strategies which can be used to fostercollege students' critical thinking awareness and promote students' all-rounddevelopment.According to six critical thinking skills,this study was carried out by requiringstudents to hand in an argumentation. All participants in this study are non-Englishmajor college freshmen from a 211 key university. The revised version of Rubric forQualitative Critical Thinking Skills Instrument was used in this study. Withquantitative and qualitative analysis,writing experiment is conducted within a wholesemester to collect data concerning students' learning behavior. Reading-to-write isused in experimental class while traditional method is adopted in control class. Thewriting scores by the experimental and control class were statistically processed bysoftware SPSS 19.0. And also the interview was launched in some of students inexperimental class to assess students' critical thinking abilities reflected in theirwritings-The final analysis indicated that EGAP writing model exerted a significantlypositive influence in improving students' critical thinking skills, especially in arousingstudents' writing enthusiasm and critical thinking awareness. Compared with controlclass, students in experimental class made bigprogress in writing competence. Inaddition, this study put forward some reform proposals to the teaching of Englishwriting. The study is of great value to instruct students to employ critical thinkingskills in their writing.AbstractA large body of research has been conducted on the effects of technology-enhancedEnglish vocabulary learning since the 1960s (Marty, 1981)。

2024年大学英语六级作文23篇大学英语六级作文篇1High Salaries or Career Development?There are more and more people looking for jobs every year, but they have different views about what kind of job they should choose. Some of them focus their attention on the jobs that promise high salaries. Others show a preference for those jobs that offer chances to learn skills and advancement possibilities.People holding the first view usually think that more money will result in more happiness. With a lot of money in hand, they will be able to enjoy a rich life. Otherwise, they will suffer from depression due to lack of enough money. However, the holders of the second view argue that one should develop his skills as roundly as possible. It is career development that counts most. Without development, you will be outrun by others and fall behind the times sooner or later.大学英语六级作文篇2“Never give up” can be very encouraging words, but the majority of youngsters are likelyto give upregardless when dealing with the ordinary difficulties of life.

英文工作报告怎么写（精选3篇）英文工作报告怎么写篇1英文工作报告怎么写篇2In the first half year,under the vigorouse support of GGF and the enthusiastic crew in the office,the job has been almost finished by the end of this year.Major task for the first year:A.Inner Adjustment:For all the office crew joined the association for obligation,the have little experience of environmental protection and less special knowledge of birds.In order to make them better understand the task of NGO,and also to improve working efficiency,we have got together to study and The Reform of Chinese Organization at the beginning ofthis year.We focused on the situation and foreground of NGO in china.At the following time we concentrated on how to develop ourselves and what means can we use to streghten,ect.After approximately two weeks argumentation,we learnt many about what we should do.Now,we can cooperate with each other much better.B.Activities:1.Personal experience:we are all in firm believing that the movement of observing birds being a great measurement,which will increase peoples lovefor them.Dalian is a hilly area which makes it quite different from here to there.For the sake of gathering more suitable place to observe birds,the 8 of our cadremen went to the Bin Hai Road,Dahei mountain,Lushun Farmland and circumjacent villages and towns.Finally,we chose Lao Tie Mountain,the forest in Bin HaiRoad,Birds Forest,Two Islands Bay,Lushun Farm etc.This has established the basement of observing birds in the Autumn.2.In order to promote more and more people to protect the birdsin Dalian,we held an article match with the theme of Take Good Care of Birds in Dalian.There are two advantages:on one hand,we could seize this opportunity to propagate to the thousands of college students in Dalian to pay more attention of birds.On the other hand,wed like to let more citizens know what the birds,as same as humanbeings,are worth cherishing by college studentspleasure articles.3.In order to widely propagate for cherishing the birds,in the early May,we held a bicycle-riding for signiture movement with the same theme Take Good Care of Birds in Dalian.This activity was run cooperatively with the Environmental Protecting Association of Dalian Maritime University,Dalian Daily,New Business and several other broadcasting station also made immediate report.We altogether more than 30 people sent the handbills,collected signitures,madesurvey,which made this activity more splendid.Not only was the scroll filled with peoples signiture,even before 10 oclock,but also many people felt pity that they havent got a place to sign their nameon.After hearing our secretary-general Weiwei Jiangs English introduction,a tourist from Ireland was very glad of signing his name,and left a word significative movementsfor us.We felt really happy to see that this activity had so wide influnce,and so many people attended it.All these were the affirmation of our efforts,and reflected that in the modern metropolis there are also a lot of people loving nature.4.In the early June,we have edited The Message of Birds in DalianN2.We compiled the keystone of our work and splendid articles into the book.We usually communicate with other Birds Association forthe NGO and related experience.In Dalian locality,we often go out to send handbills in the universities,elementary school near Lushun in which birds formicating.Wed like to make them understand that birds also have their own emotions.Anyone, who destroys the nature,will equal to destroy humankind.Problem existing:For cadremens lack of expenrience for organizing the activities,things are short of proper arrangement;For they have little knowledge of birds,there are still many little problems existing when editing program or holding the activities.The main task of the second half of year:1.The investigation of Black-faced Spoonbill of Dalian in winter2.The propagation and education of several grade schools in Lushun3.The edition and publishment of The Message of Birds inDalianN2,and the edition of N4July 26th 20xxWild Bird Society of Dalian英文工作报告怎么写篇3Internship ReportI. Purpose:First, to deepen understanding of profession, to confirm career preferences.There are many ways to understand the career industry, for example, read related articles, consult the industry, but the most direct way is personally do the job. In the process of doing, you can determine whether you like the job and your own ability to perform. If you are competent, to find a job after graduation, you can use it as the target job; on the contrary, you must find a new direction forthe work.Second, to prepare the transition from student to profession.It is often said, the university is an ivory tower. Indeed, there are great differences between the schools and the workplace, learning and work, students and staff. In the role of the transformation process, peoples views, behavior, and psychological aspects have to make the appropriate adjustments.Third, to enhance the competitive advantage when looking for work.A company conducted a survey, How to choose an employer graduates. Participating companies, including foreign, enterprises and private enterprises, the scale big and small. There is a topic so that they can choose the value, including schools, professional achievements, certificates, internship experience, social practice, accounts and so on. The results of different nature and size of the company have quite different focus, only one element is important for all companies, that is, job-related training and experience of candidates. So, if you have the relevant college internship experience in looking for work, there will be a great advantage.II. Content:During this month, with my father, I have got the chance to work as an intern in Tianjin Haiping Industry and Trade Company, which really excited me for a long time. The company is a start-up by my fathers friend, and it belongs to a micro-firm, so it only employed ten people or less.After an brief self-introduction with the staff of the company, my internship started. It was my first time that I worked in a real company. I felt a little nervous because I had no idea of what kindof job I would take. As an English major student, Im sure my knowledge of English is adequate for the job. And I have basic knowledge of foreign trade .So I think I just need to apply it into practice. During this time I worked as an assistant in the office, helped to deal with the language work, such as communicating with foreigners in English and translating the files between the companies. And I also did some daily and easy work because of my lack of work experience.Then my first major task was handling phone lines, including incoming and outgoing phone calls in the front desk. Initially, I thought this task would be easy, after all it was just answering phone calls, but I quickly learned how much work had to be put into these phone calls. I realized that I had to better equip myself with the knowledge about the communication, be prepared for answering questionings, and memorize all the department extension as we were not allowed to reference any directory when transferring calls. Fortunately, after one week, I was able to grasp all the necessary requirements and I progressed a lot. In addition, during my first task as front desk personnel, I was exposed to other tasks, such as do some faxing and photocopying in company, preparing the materialfor the workmates, fetching newspaper or other documents for them. I had been doing that work almost a week. At the very beginning, I was so disappointed about what I was busy with. I was even so tired of them and gave it up. But when I saw the hard-working mates and some courage from my friends and leader, I moved on.The following weeks, I switched gears and moved to the mainoffice where I would spend the next two weeks in front of a computer, conducting research into different corporations in China that producethe similar products with our company. The process was not only time consuming, but complex and knotty as it involved a great amount of reading and recording. I managed to produce information, and communicate with customers and send e-mails. E-mail is the most common form of communication with customers. Therefore, we can use the knowledge about English correspondence for foreign trade we have learned in school. Many buyers or full-time purchasers simply judge your professionalism by your E-mail. Many customers also liked contacting with me on MSN or Skype, and they would ask for voice communication. At first I was nervous ,and I was always thinking about how to speak English in the right words and correct grammar. However, I found that they were not exactly strict to my English. As long as my oral English is enough to communicate and I know professional product knowledge, they can understand what I say. They are all outgoing but serious when talking about business.Though hard and a little boring, I can be a part of the social society and enjoyed the pressure and competition from the outside world, quite different from the school yard. And also, many disadvantages and weakness have shocked me so much during the intern time. When I was blamed or criticized for my fault at first, I would try to argue with them and avoid my duty in the case. However, now, after such a long time training, I will be silent to accept what they teach me or scold me, and then self-question myself to make some changes. What I learned at school is so limited that I can hardly put into practice when faced with different complicated situations in society. So there is no doubt that Ill read more and experience much to balance the book-knowledge and social life. And only in this way, can I be of importance to me, then to the country.III. Gains:"Study for the sake of use.' as a Chinese saying goes, I should say that there does exist a big gap between theories and practice. During this internship period, I have learned a lot of things that I cant get from our books:First, it offers me an opportunity to get in touch with the things that I havent encountered before. Many products of our company are stranger to us. Furthermore, I have broadened my horizons.Secondly, the internship rightly provides me with a good chance to train my ability of communication and improve the spirit of teamwork. There are about ten employees in all. I didnt get acquainted with any of the other four, but in the first week, we got familiar with each other and shared information with each other. Also, when I encounter a difficult case, Ill also turn to the senior members of this department for help and they are always ready to help. Harmonious interpersonal relationship, right? Yes,a good relationship with our colleagues is priceless treasure to us as well as a strong sense of teamwork.Thirdly, English is just a tool for communication. Therefore, as an English major student, we cant be limited to the study of the language but involve ourselves with knowledge of other areas. In the first few days, I always felt frustrated because there were so many new terms that I couldnt digest thoroughly. Although I can do very well in English reading, there are much desired for me to understand the situations provided by customers. However, practice makes perfect. With almost one-month practice, I now manage to handle the cases well. Knowledge, like the sea, is boundless; only through hard study can one reach the destination. It is completely right.IV. Problems and Solutions :The first one is related with the foreign trade terms. Such as quotation, ordering, terms of payments, out-factory preparation and payment. They are the most complicated and difficult issues. Because my major is not business English, I did not know the jargon and the professional name of our products at the beginning. I would read some books about International Trade to learn them by myself. And sometimes, I would ask others to explain them for me. The best solutions will be taken down into my note book. I know it does need some time to experience in handling such cases.The second, my working attitude is not good enough. At first, I did not realize the seriousness of working. But I tried to correct my thoughts and focused myself on my work. But the members there did offer great help and teach me a lot of things.The third, being shy is always my weakness. In fact, when I am with my friend, I am talkative. But during my work there, at first, I get nervous with the strangers.The last but not least, my oral English is not good enough and I must practice it again and again to improve it. When I was talking with the foreigners I found that sometimes it was very hard to understand what they are talking about, not because of sick listening comprehension, but their accents, which really bothered me a lot. What we learned in the class is Standard English, so it is easy for us to understand each other. There are some customers pronunciation I cannot understand. One time, a client called me on Skype, so I found that he spoke very fast and I just can catch Hello! Then I could not understand any word and I immediately told him I do not understand what he said, and then he typed while I speak. So Ill work hard toget a good command of oral English and listen to the pronunciation from different countries frequently. Thus Ill have a more fluent communication with my clients. Actually, Ive been taken action right away. I try my best to make friends and chat with them from different countries. Ill work even harder.。

An Investigation into The Reading Construct of Public
English Test System Level 3
近几十年来已有大量学者对语言水平测试的效度进行研究。

多数效度研究集中于探求测试题目所测得的语言能力,即构念效度。

对构念效度在定量和定性研究在方法上已达到了一定的共识。

本次构念效度的研究采用了因子分析和问卷调查的方法对公共英语等级考试(三级)中阅读部
分的构念效度进行初探。

公共英语等级考试体系现已成为国内强有力的英语能力认证考试。

而国内对于此测试的构念效度效度仅停留在将所测语言能力视为听、说、读、写四大整体语言能力,鲜有研究对试题单项部分进行研究。

本次对阅读部分构念效度的实证可为阅读部分构念效度提供统计证据,对阅读过程再次认识以及为公共英语等级考试试题编纂提供阅读部分考试数据反馈。

本次研究有以下两个研究问题:1.专家就基于韦尔的阅读能力量表对阅读部分测试题所测阅读能力的判定是否达到了显著水平?2.探索性因子分析是否可证明公共英语等级考试中阅读部分所考查的阅读能力与其考试大纲中所规定的能力相符?研究结果为:在阅读第一部分中,专家评判中对试题所测能力达成一致的试题项与因子分析中所得因子下所聚集试题项一致,这些测试题目占到总题目的60%。

因子分析表明所得因子下聚集的试题项具有相同的变化趋势,即具有相同的潜在变量。

综上可知第一阅读部分所得因子与其大纲规定相一致,即可判定第一部分的阅读构念效度相对较高。

第二研究问题并未在定量统计上达到预期目的。

但从试题信度角度出发,通过结合Grabe的阅读过程理论的定性分析,得出第二部分阅读构念效度相对一般。
