Training and Practice for English for Academic Purposes

Part I

1. Discuss the following questions.

What are basic principles the researchers must try to follow when they write their research papers?

And would you please list some deadly sins a researcher must avoid when they want to publish a

research paper? What are the main contents of a research paper?

2. Translate the following Chinese introduction into English.

提高起重机生产力和安全性的设备研究

近些年来,就用研究人员对起重机(crane)的研究兴趣与日俱增。起重机种类繁多,从樱桃采摘机(cherry pickers)到巨型塔式起重机(huge tower cranes) ,是建筑工地不可或缺的重要设备之一。由于建筑用起重机工作环境多变(constantly changing working environment), 操作者(operator)责任重大(heavy reliance)。过去几十年里,超重机技术日新月异,但是操作员与其他工种人员配合协作方面的技术发展缓慢。起重机的发展步伐如此迅猛,我们似乎要问,在某些方面,是不是已经超出(outstrip)了人们安全使用的能力?本文旨在探讨如何通过新型设备的引进提高起重机生产力以及提出相关安全性的举措,进而为新型起重机的应用和案例提供新的思路。

3. You are writing a research paper entitled “The Effects of Radiation from the Sun on Life

on Earth”. In your introduction you need to review, in general terms, how the sun supports

life on the earth. Prepare an Introduction section for your paper based on the information

below.

 Distance from the earth: 92,976,000 miles

 The Sun’s energy comes from nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium.

 Intense radiation, including lethal ultraviolet radiation, arrives at the earth’s outer

atmosphere.

 Ozone in the stratosphere protects life on earth from excessive ultraviolet radiation.

 The seasons of the earth’s climate results from (1) the 23.30 tilt of the earth’s axis of

rotation from the normal to the plane of the earth’s orbit around the Sun, (2) the large coverage

area of water on the earth (about 75% of the earth’s surface), and (3) the rotation of the earth with

associated generation of jet-stream patterns.

 Radiation passing through the earth’s atmosphere loses most short-wave radiation, but

some arriving at the surface is converted into infrared radiation which is then trapped by water

vapor and other tri-atomic molecules in the troposphere and stratosphere, causing global warming.

 Life on earth is maintained from photosynthesis and conversion of carbon dioxide to

oxygen by plants.

6. Prepare a short section of Field Methods on the basis of the following information.

 Maps used: Geologic and topographic maps prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and

South Dakota State Geological Survey.

 Period of field work: April-September, 2013; June, July, 2014.

 Personnel: you, and two Master’s Degree candidate students (they will use this study for

their research degree)

 Vehicle: Four-wheel drive Ford suburban
