A sperical experience--The research paper


Recently, I was working with the final research paper. Actually, this is my first time to write a research in English. When I was in China, I only practiced writing short compositions in English. However, after I came to America, I find that we need try to write different essay which is much longer. Since it’s not a easy job to write a research paper, I came up with a lot of difficulties when doing the research. The first big difficult is choosing the topic. As we know, there are too many topics available for us to choose. But, which topic can be the best one for you? Finally, I made the decision and my topic is why more and more Chinese students go back to their home countries when finish their study in America because I think this is really a hot topic not only in China but also in America. And I found that there are many differences between now and past so I chose this topic and prepared to write. However when I started doing the research I found that I cannot find enough useful information in English. When I was using the Google, I really couldn’t make it helpful. Then I tried to get some information in Chinese website and I got some useful information. As the information is in Chinese, I need to translate it into English. Then when I was writing the research paper with the information I found that I was not very familiar with the organization of the research and my essay is not like a research. Fortunately, under the help from the teacher Azimi, I reformed my essay to a research paper. In a word, I think the research paper is OK because it’s just my first one.
I think the most valuable educational enlightenment I experienced is that we shouldn’t be afraid of difficulties and if we can persevere we will conquer them. And I think that we need to try to write different kinds of English essay, it will help improve our English. At last, wish all my classmates to do well in their research papers.
