SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTHWriting GuideThe writing of any report, essay or dissertation is a process of development. It takes time to read, think, make notes and draft a piece of work, but organising your thoughts on paper is an invaluable part of the way we learn complex facts and concepts.The writing processThe first part of the process is to research, read and think about your topic. The next step is to write a rough draft, and then you will spend time working on that to produce the final product. We have briefly covered sources of information if you are not familiar with the writing process or with scientific writing. After that we have provided some hints for you to improve your rough draft. Worrying about your expressions and use of language when you are making notes or writing a rough draft may hold you up. It is when you have your ideas on paper, however rough the form, that you can work on the flow, style and structure of your material. There are many books and websites you can consult if you are not familiar with the process of formal or academic writing. This guide has only distilled a framework of the process for your guidance. The books are listed at the end of this guide, with the best ones marked for you. One of the best introductory websites on writing process is the following:/handouts/general/index.htmlThis site has handout sheets that cover everything from planning and writer’s block through to proofreading. Although the examples may seem banal, the process of planning and writing in covered in detail and may be helpful to you if you feel completely lost about how to write at this level.If you are new to scientific writing there are many articles and websites to help you. The first url will take you to a classic article on scientific writing which is well worth your while studying. It includes some cogitation on how readers interpret texts, as well as some very practical pointers to improving your sentence structure./~andreas/sci.htmlHere is one that covers scientific writing in general, including getting published:/science/writ.htmlWorking with your draftGrammarThis is not a grammar guide. If you are not sure of the elements of grammar, there are many resources available to you on the Web. Here is one for you to browse if you need to brush up on the basics:/handouts/grammar/index.htmlThe next site is the most comprehensive searchable guide to English grammar on the net at time of writing. You will find everything you ever need to know about grammar here, explained clearly and simply:/grammar/Here is another useful simple guide, which has little self tests at the end of each section: /The next guide is an excellent and comprehensive one, specifically for technical and scientific writers:/sp7084/index.htmlFinally, here is another good site that lists some common errors and problems alphabetically. It also has a helpful list of further on-line resources.:8080/~brians/errors/errors.htmlHave a look at each of these guides. You may want to print one, or parts of one, for future reference. The decision about which one will best suit your purpose will depend on your previous knowledge of and confidence with English grammar.Other tipsAssuming you are fairly confident about grammar, or at least know where to find the information you need to correct your errors, here are some other tips for improving your writing.Be simple and conciseExpress yourself in the simplest possible terms. Check each word, phrase and sentence. Can it be shortened or simplified? Is it really necessary? Can a word or expression be deleted without affecting the meaning?Aim for a simple styleA fancy literary or overblown style is not appropriate in scientific writing. Avoid the use of literary allusions, pompous words instead of simple ones, metaphorical expressions and hyperbole (exaggeration for effect). Use short words instead of long ones. For example: do not accomplishcause not aetiologypart not componentuse not utilisationuse not utilisebegin not commence, initiate or inauguratebefore not prior toChoose the concrete over the abstract; words over symbols, initials or abbreviations; English words over foreign, familiar words over unfamiliar. Compare the following pairs of examples:In studies pertaining to the identification of phenolic derivatives, drying of the paper gives lesssatisfactory results.Phenolic derivatives are mo re easily seen and identified if the paper is left wet.It has been a mooted question in the minds of microbiologists whether the gonococcus possesses acapsule.Microbiologists question whether the gonococcus has a capsule.In the present report the results of a series of experiments are described in which wine and beer drinkers were tested to see whether...We tested wine and beer drinkers to see whether…The aetiology of dependency in elderly people, and therefore the need to seek residential care, ismu ltifactorial.There are many reasons why elderly people become dependent and need to seek residential care.Various types of household appliances were found to have differing amounts of sales attraction indifferent areas of Australia.Refrigerators sold better in Queensland, radiators in Victoria.Avoid verbosityVerbosity wastes space. Short articles are more likely to be accepted by journals, whose space is always limited. When unnecessary words are deleted, the grammatical construction and style of expression are improved and the work is easier to read and understand.Some superfluous noun phrases:the amount ofthe case ofthe character ofthe situation wherethe extent ofthe concept ofthe magnitude ofthe purpose ofSuperfluous verbsthe numbers shown in −the numbers inthe data taken/extracted from−the data fromSuperfluous relative pronouns, articles and prepositionsmany of the subjects −many subjectspeople who had been interviewed −people interviewedThe openings `It…' and ‘There…”It was Dr X who first described −Dr X was first to describeThere are some people who think −Some people thinkIt appears that }It goes without saying that } are usually superfluousIt should be noted that }Overweight prepositionsin regard to −on, aboutwith respect to −on, aboutwith reference to −of, on, for, aboutWeak modifiersactually fortunately ratheravailable hopefully severalcertainly particularlyfairly quiteAvoid jargonJargon complicates expression, is often inaccurately used, and may make meanings ambiguous. Use technical words only where necessary and appropriate. Consider this phrase: 'Optimal reaction conditions are approximated when...'. The word 'approximate', a mathematical expression meaning 'approach', is used incorrectly. The phrase is simple and precise when translated into 'The reaction goes most quickly when...'.Fishbein gives this delightful example of what he calls 'gobbledygook': Can you understand it easily? How would you improve it?There is little heuristic value in erecting a specific hierarchy of the neuroses and psychoses as correlated to a multiple stage account of the development and vicissitudes of the libido. Instead it can becontended on both theoretical and clinical grounds (a) that the so-called libidinal stages of development have a temporal existence only in so far as the growing infant become physiologically capable ofexpressing them, and (b) that in later life the 'psychological' counterparts of these libidinal organ-cathexes overlap and mingle in terms of simple 'orality', 'anality' or 'genitality' analogous to committing mayhem on the facts.Avoid ambiguityAre you sure that what you have written means to others what it means to you? If in doubt, ask others to read your work and tell you what it means to th em. Ask yourself: will a reader without experience in this field understand my work? Can it be understood by someone whose English is their second language?Choose the correct wordUse general and technical dictionaries whenever you have doubts about the correct meaning. Guides to accepted usage, such as Fowler’s Modern English Usage or Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style, an early edition of which can be found at this address:http://sut1.sut.ac.th/strunk/are also helpful tools in writing well.Make sure that you are using words correctly. Does the context change the meaning of the word? The following words are often used incorrectly as synonyms:amount alternate minimal equalconcentration alternative negligible equivalentcontent slightlevelvarious imply delete anticipatevarying infer exclude expectvaried eliminatea variety ofdifferentdifferingThe following commonly used words often have an imprecise meaning, depending on their context. If you have used them, check that the meaning you intend is clear and that haven’t used them as ‘filler’ words, substituting for a more precise word.area level situation characternature structure conditions problemsystem fiel d processCommon grammatical problemsAs these are common problems it would be worthwhile for you to check them out on one of the grammar sites listed above if you are not already familiar with them:Dangling or misrelated participlesAfter completing the questionnaires, blood pressures were measured.(Dangling − the test subjects/patients have disappeared completely and there is no indication of whocompleted the questionnaires or whose blood pressure was measured).After completing the questionnaires, the blood pressure of subjects was measured. (Misrelated −although the subjects are there, the participle ‘completing’ is here related to their blood pressure, not to themselves.)After completing the questionnaires, subjects had their blood pressures measured.(Correct)Unidentified or ambiguous antecedents of pronounsFailure of treatment with penicillin could not have been predicted because of the defective assay method used. Unfortunately, this occurs in many hospitals.(Does the 'this' refer to the failure of treatment, the defective assay method, or the inability to predict?) Cimetidine is highly effective in suppressing gastric acid secretion in such cases. It is unfortunate that it is not prescribed more often.(The first it is an ‘opening it’ that has nothing to relate back to, and the second is intended to relate back to c imetidine, but the reader must search past ‘gastric acid secretion’ to find its antecedent.)Unfortunately, this drug is not prescribed often enough.(This is clearer.)Relative pronounsThat, which and who are often misused. If you aren’t clear which one to use where, look it up on one of the grammar web sites listed above.Abstract nouns instead of verbsScientific writing often contains too many abstract nouns that have been derived from verbs. Avoid writing with these; using the original verb is clearer and more vivid. A tip: look out for words ending in ‘-ation’ − they are often abstract nouns derived from verbs.The identification and classification of the various histologic types of lymphomas are vital stepstowards the introduction of new therapies and the reduction of mortality.Identifying and classifying the histologic types of lymphomas are vital steps towards introducing new therapies and reducing mortality.An investigation of the underlying causes was carried out.The underlying causes were investigated. (Or: We investigated the underlying causes.)The following words − ‘empty’ verbs − should raise suspicion that a construction with an abstract noun is lurking:accomplished experienced obtainedachieved facilitated occurredattained given performedcarried out proceeded implementedconducted indicated produceddone involved requiredeffected madeNoun clusters and stacked modifiersIn scientific writing, groups of words are often used together to describe an effect or process. When more than two words are used together the meaning may become ambiguous; it is often unclear what is modifying what. The hyphen can be a great help in clarifying these modifiers.a radium containing argon ionisation chamberThis implies a chamber containing radium that ionises argon. What it is in fact is a chamber that contains both argon and radium. Organic vapours are introduced into the chamber, react with the argon and are ionised. Using hyphens can make this clearer:a radium-containing-argon ionisation chamberHere are some non-scientific examples that make the use of the hyphen clear:A dutch cheese importer is someone from the Netherlands who imports cheese from anywhere.A dutch-cheese importer is anyone who imports cheese from the Netherlands.A small arms dealer is a short person who will sell you any kind of gun.A small-arms dealer is a person of any height who will sell you a handgun.Consistency of styleBe consistent throughout your document with the following:SpellingCheck words with more than one accepted spelling, plural forms and hyphenated forms.CapitalsCheck how you capitalise proper nouns, names of organisations, units, etc for consistency. Abbreviations and InitialsIt is common to use acronyms in reports and articles. Use the words the first time with the acronym in a bracket, then the acronym thereafter. If your report contains many acronyms make a list in an appendix (preferably Appendix A, to make it easy to refer to). Alternatively, when a term is repeated (for example the setting of your study) it can be abbreviated without being reduced to initials. For example, South Western Sydney Area Health Service may be referred to the first time in full, then as 'the Area Health Service' or even 'the Area' or 'the Service', whichever seems appropriate, or as 'South Western Sydney', if the context makes it unambiguous.NumbersGenerally, measurements, percentages and any numbers that are not whole numbers (integers) should be in figures. However, numbers starting a sentence should be expressed in words (or you could rearrange the sentence), as should numbers under 10:Ninety-two patients were followed over a period of three months by 12 researchers.Make sure all abbreviations for units are correct SI unit symbols.PunctuationIf you’re not clear about correct punctuation there is a good basic guide at/One check that writers commonly overlook is to make sure every quotation has a beginning and an end.Other style errors to avoidImpersonal constructions and the passive voiceUse the active voice where possible. It is a common misapprehension that the first person should not be used in scientific writing. It is not unscientific to report what you (or you and your fellow investigators) did in the first person.The present study was undertaken in order to investigate…(Wordy and impersonal)We undertook this study to investigate…(Better)We investigated…(Even better, if the investigators did what they set out to do.)'In the opinion of the present author' is just pompous. Say: 'In my opinion', or leave the phrase out altogether.Using two words instead of oneA laparotomy was performed on the next day and the diagnosis of appendicitis was confirmed.(Clumsy.)A laparotomy the next day confirmed the diagnosis of appendicitis.(Better)Overused phrases, fad words and slangTry and remove these from your writing wherever you can. They weigh your writing down and make it flaccid, unoriginal and uninteresting.to impact −to affect, to have an effectto interface −to work together, to meetthe bottom line is−what this means isrationale−reasonContractionsExcept in rare cases where they are used for rhetorical effect, contractions are too informal for dissertations and essays.don't - do not it's - it isDehumanising wordsperson not individualpatient (or client) not casewoman not female; man not malepatient with diabetes not a diabeticSummaryThe process of getting your thoughts onto paper and structuring them into a coherent piece of work is important in academic work. It is a skill that comes more easily with practice. You will learn from the comments that lecturers make on your work where you need to improve your writing.Other resourcesAs well as the websites listed in this guide, there are many books on writing style and scientific/medical writing.

The ideais that the attribution is small and should not interfere with their readin g: it is an aid to the reader. If the reader does wish to explore some idea further (or understand the backgroundof some idea you have mentioned), then they can go to the “reference” section of your workand can easily find the actual “reference” by sear ching for it in the Reference Section. Eachof the references in this section gives detailed information about the source which the reader should go to. The information given will allow the user to identify exactly which book/magazine/journal/etc. they should read.However, in addition to simply being a convenience for the reader, all reference systems are intended to support the idea of “intellectual honesty” and “intellectual debate”. Most people’s ideas are built on top of other people’s ideas, and it is important to see the chain of thinking in order to do any proper analysis of them. You can be sure that some new idea that is persuasive and “hot” today is discovered to be dead wrong tomorrow; and in this case it’s almost always better to note where the idea came from, and not claim it as your own.Reference SectionYou can easily find a reference in the Harvard Systems because it requires you to organizeyour Reference Section as follows:∙Alphabetically, by authour’s family name.If you have several references from people with the same name, then for this group of references you sort them as follows:∙Numerically, by date of publication.If you also need to refer to publications by the same author in the same year, then you should distinguish these different publications with a letter suffix on the year. For example,Smith, J. (1999a) “How to succeed!” Journal of Entrepreneurs, 1(2), p. 34-56 Smith, J. (1999b) “After Success?” Journal of Entrepreneurs, 2(2), p. 42-49Smith, J. (1999c) “Key Skills Today” Journal of Entrepreneurs, 3(8), p. 12-14The attribution in the body of your work would then refer to these as “Smith 1999a” etc.Individual ReferenceEach type of resource (e.g., book, journal article, website, magazine article, etc.) whic h you refer your reader to look at requires you to write down a different set of information so that your reader can be guaranteed to be able to find that resource.The general format of a journal article reference is shown below:Smith, J. (1999) “How to succeed!” Journal of Entrepreneurs, 1(2), p. 34-56Author’s surname and initials are listed first, followed by year of publication in brackets. Then there is the title of article and journal where article appears, which is underlined or in italics. Finally, state the volume and issue Number (in brackets) along with the pages where articlecan be located.The general format of a book reference is shown below:Bohlander, G. (2003), and Snell, S., “Managing Human Resources, 13th Ed.”, Dongbei University of Finance and Economics Press.First author’s surname and initials are listed first, followed by year of publication in brackets. After this comes the second author (if there is one). Then there is the title of the book in italics. Finally, state the publisher of the book.For further information, including instructions on how to cite website s, there are many excellent guides available online, including the following websites:/library/resources/general/info_study_skills/docs/hscguide0605.pdf/academic_services/documents/Library/Citing_References.pdfThis addresses frequently asked questions in relation to the Harvard referencing system.AttributionIn your text, you refer to a resource (such as a book or article) only through the primary author’s surname, and the date of publication. This matches one entry (i.e., having the same Surname and Date of Publication) in your Reference Section.For example,…a recent article by Zhang (2004) supports this view……a study of competition in the gaming industry (Jones, 2005) shows …In these examples, there are attributions to separate works by Zhang (published in 2004) and by Jones (published in 2005). For each of these attributions, there should be one detailed reference in your Reference Section.When you are making an attribution to a book, you should be HELPFUL to your reader by indicating which chapter or page in the book you think they should look at. Since you will often use a given book to refer to m ore than one idea/theory/concept, you can’t put this information into the reference section. Instead, you should put it in the attribution in the main body of the work. Note that you don’t need to do this for journal articles, because they’re already quite small (only a couple of pages normally) and so it is easy for a reader to find the piece in the journal article that you wish them to look at.Here’s an example of a book attribution:…in a recent book by Ellis (2004), this theory is explained in detail (Ch. 3)…Remember, the main idea of references and attribution in the Harvard System is to make it easy for your reader to find additional information without interrupting their reading too much.。

Cultural Notes
Vincent Willem van Gogh（梵高） (30 March 1853–29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life and died, largely unknown, at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Oxford is an exceptionally old university town, on the River Thames, about 60 miles from London. Oxford’s center is the university; and all around the crossroads at the very heart of Oxford, Carfax, there are gray stone Colleges and other university buildings. In the center you can also find interesting old pubs and paved passages. There are a lot of churches, and one or two really large and interesting buildings, such as the Ashmolean Museum, the “round library”, the Bodleian and the Radcliffe Camera, with its domed roof. Like all English towns, there are parks, and one, “the Parks”, is the leafy home of university cricket in the summer months. As you leave the center and go towards the outskirts of Oxford you can see industrial estates and a car factory in one direction; and in another, attractive suburbs. There is, in fact, quite a lot of industry in Oxford.

I’m writing to express our wish to enter into business relations with you.We have your name and address through the introduction of Mr. A.G. Topworth of Swanson & Bros. of Hamburg, who is one of our old clients.Our main business line is exporting chinaware, and our products are exported to many parts of the world.

Therefore we shall be pleased to be a long-term partner with you.Could you please send the name of your bank to us? We will email you the illustrated catalogue and price list upon your inquiries without delay.We are looking forward to your first enquiry.Yours sincerely,Tony Lau范文二Ladies & Gentlemen:You and your company have been introduced to us by Mr. A.G. Topworth of Swanson &Bros. of Hamburg. We wish to inform you that we specialize in exporting chinaware and shall be pleased to enter into business relations with you.Our firm, located in Foshan, Guangdong Province in South China, was established nearly half a century ago, and has a large variety of product lines to offer.

You are writing an email to a sports facilities supplier asking them to fill your order. It’s the first time that you deal with the supplier. (c.f. p33, Course book, 参照教材P33)Task 3Read the following case about Susan’s problem. How would you solve her problem if you were in her shoes?·Write a proposal in the form of an email to Susan.Susan, the Director of Human Resources at a large paper company, was leading a self-directed work team to implement a project in her organization. She was bumping into some resistance. “Most people are really excited about what we are doing,”she said. “But then there are the resisters. They don’t want to do anything with teams. Mostly, the resisters are people who have been here more than twenty years. Every time they come to a meeting, I already know what they are going to say. They simply don’t want to act.”范文一Dear Susan,The problem you are facing is quite common in the workplace. Here I’d like to share with you my thoughts of how to get over it.First, it’s absolutely essential that you find out why they don’t want to act. One way to do so is to put yourself in their shoes, trying to stand on their side. Then you may find the reasons are varied. Maybe it’s because those people of seniority are too contented with the status quo and don’t want to venture out. Or maybe your management style is not what they like, letting them feel no senseof being respected or no sense of being valuable. Or it’s just they simply don’t think much of you as their leader as you are much younger than them.Second, whatever the reasons are, communication is the key to the solution. So try to create opportunities to talk with the team, and especially to approach the team members individually. Find out the most influential members and the impossible ones, have open and frank discussions and above all, show them adequate respect. In communication, of course, you need to show patience, persistence, not to mention empathy.The next important point is you should cultivate skill of leadership. Senior workers defying young leader’s command is an all-too-general phenomenon. When it comes to the problem of disobeying, the only solution to it is the power of the leader. In other words, older employees sometimes mess up your action just because they doubt your ability to lead. So why not show your assertiveness, your expertise in the project, and speak and act with authority whenever necessary.Susan, I sincerely hope you can work out the problem soon.CheersTom范文二Dear Susan：I’ve known what you have been puzzled by. It is a common problem on the way to becoming a good manager.Your organization needs older workers more than ever. They transfer knowledge between generations, transmit your company's values to new hires, make excellent mentors for younger employees, and provide a "just in time" workforce for special projects.But they don’t obey your commands. Then how to manage or deal with the relationship with them? Recognize that boomers' needs differ from younger generations and then adapt your management practice accordingly.●Lead with mission: As employees age, they become more altruistic. Emphasizethe positive impact of older workers' efforts on the world around them.●Shoulder the responsibility: Divide them into several groups; let them lead agroup with young employees with full authority.●Establish a system of rewards and punishment: Rewarding those groups that havebeen doing a good job in team-working and have high work efficiency, as well aspunishing those unqualified quarterly or monthly.●Forge social connections: Many older employees keep working to maintain socialrelationships. Offer tasks that require interaction with others.●Communicate frequently: Knowing what they are thinking about is a good way tohelp solve the problem of management.I hope these suggestions can be of some help to your problem.Best regards,Tony Lau。

Sample for reference:
One of the challenges facing college students when they enter college is how to manage their money. Although there are many different attitudes towards money management, I have my own way in doing so.
Writing Assignment 1
Directions: Write an essay on the topic “How Do I Manage My Money?” based on the following outline given in Chinese with no less than 120 words.
The best way to manage my money is to make a budget. I spend 500 yuan on food, 150 yuan on entertainment or study materials, 50 yuan on phone bills and another 100 yuan as a bank deposit in case of rainy days. I am never running out of money and I can always make ends meet. （187 words）
To be money wise, first of all, is to focus on the supply of my money. Aside from the limited living allowance from my parents, I sometimes do part-time jobs as a home tutor in my spare time to make up the difference. Occasionally, I can win the scholarship to supplement my income by hard work.

Writing AssignmentMany a student begins to feel a genuine sense of belonging when it comes to life on campus.That’s to say, we have more free time for ourselves. We can spend ample time on what we like. Then, how do undergraduates manage our campus? Let's talk about it!People hold different views towards extracurricular activities. Some people believe that it is too time consuming. Meanwhile, some of them do so because of their keen interest in knowledge. They devote all their time to studying, never participating in any activities organized by students clubs, just like bookworms addicted to the book day in and day out. In contrast to the “bookworms”, others take the position that they can find themselves more creative and experienced in those activities. And what has been attained may well assist them to a large extent. But then, what should be furthest? ??? The truth may be between these two positions.In terms of attitudes to the “time-consuming”activities, there seems to be a reversal of priorities: Gain after pain. Nothing can be accomplished without spending time and energy. We can obtain a lot we want from in the book world; nevertheless we can’t find all we need only by this. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the second opinion. To a certain extent, dislike stems from incomprehension. But the critical point is that, follow your pursuit and find your way! If you find your significance in the study, dig deep into it, and if you believe extracurricular activities can consummate yourselves, just try your best! At any rate, we should remember that it is the process of pursuit that counts. What we enjoy most is the steadiness and couragedemonstrated in the pursuit of our aims.All in all, be yourselves and do your best! Score: 9。

2014级英语语言文学：蔡超（Robert）Why Do Young People Want to Be Civil Servants?Over the past few years, applications to the civil service have increased considerably in China. Most of them are well-educated young people. As a university student, I understand why young people choose to work as civil servants. It is their anxiety and uncertainties about the job market and longing for a stable life that compel them to obtain a secure job and stable income. This has made civil servants their ideal choice.The guarantee of job security is one of the key factors driving young people to work in public sectors. Zhang Ting, a 23-year-old fresh graduate, is recruited by the Bureau of Environment and Health together with other 4 young people out of 391 candidates. Since working in the subordinate unit, her daily job is cleaning manure pit with other male senior cleaners. While people around her don’t understand why the young girl chose such a job, a senior cleaner gives an answer: “Though the working environment is disgusting, the secure and waged employment is attracting.” As a civil servant in China, unless you quit or make a big mistake, you can keep the job for your whole life.Another key factor is the benefits and privileges the civil servants receive from the social welfare system. It is easier for them to afford an apartment because they have the priority to apply for cheap housing from the government special programs and they can get a loan in a lower rate by using housing accumulation fund. While the apartments prices are increasing dramatically in recent years, it burdens other young people to purchase an apartment with the large sum of money.As we can see above, being a civil servant is rewarded with a stable salary as well as better welfare benefits. These are the two main reasons that make young people crazy about becoming civil servants.1。
