Can you think of other situations in which you have had to explain your research?1212广东工业大学专业英语INTRODUCTION练习——Explain your research to other studentsOne of the biggest difficulties when you are explaining your research(written or spoken) is to anticipate what the listener/reader will know and what they won’t know. You must adjust your language depending on the level of knowledge of your listener/reader and modify your language in terms of :How much background information you need to give the listener/reader so that they can understand your specific topicHow much depth you go into when you are explaining your specific topicHow much complex terminology you will useWhether you need to define this terminology for the listener/reader1313广东工业大学专业英语INTRODUCTIONTake a few moments to think about this and how you would explain your research to the students sitting next to you.Here are some questions to guide you:What is the general field of your research?What is the particular topic within this field that you are interested in?What specific questions or problems are you interested in?Why are these questions/problems important?1414广东工业大学专业英语INTRODUCTIONWhen you are listening to other students, pay close attention to anything you do not understand. Help each other by asking for further explanation: “ can you explain ... ?” “what exactly do you mean by … ?1515广东工业大学专业英语INTRODUCTION练习——write an introduction to your researchWrite a brief introduction to your proposed research. The description should be written for someone interested in your topic but does not know much about it. Explain the research area. Explain your specific research gap. If you can, you can talk about your methodology and research question as well. Use whatever structure you need for your research, but the style should be a formal, academic written style.1616广东工业大学专业英语MATERIAL AND METHOD介绍实验中的材料和方法1717广东工业大学专业英语RESULT AND DISCUSSION研究论文的核心部分结果：主要阐述本研究的结果，创新点，首次取得了那些成果讨论：针对结果展开讨论，可以引用别人的论述来证明自己的结果1818广东工业大学专业英语WRITING ABOUT DATAThe concept of dataData is a keyword in postgraduate research. A paper without data is not really a paper.However, there are different kinds of data:1. data that is collected: in some kinds of research, data is gathered or collected, using experimental methods, surveys and interviews, observations, etc.2.data is found or selected：in other kinds of research the data is found. Sometimes, the data is constructed.1919广东工业大学专业英语WRITING ABOUT DATAResults, findings and discussionData rarely comes in a form that can be directly transferred to the printed page and be understood by other people. You have to write about it. This often involves three steps:1. reporting results2. summarizing findings3. discussing result and findings.2020广东工业大学专业英语WRITING ABOUT DATAreporting resultsThe concept of results may apply more readily to research where the data are processed in order to produce numerical or statistical outcomes. In this kind of research, the results are often reported in the form of tables or graphs.The important point to remember here is that tables and graphs do not speak for themselves. You usually have to summarize the key information in words. Failing to do this is a common weakness in postgraduate paper.2121广东工业大学专业英语WRITING ABOUT DATAsummarizing findings If your data have “results”, your “finding” are generalization about the phenomenon based on those results. Imagine you have administered a test to100 boys and 100 girls. Your result may be that :The average scores were 67 marks for the boys and 89 marks for the girls out of 100 marks.Your finding would be that:The girls performed better on this test than the boys.2222广东工业大学专业英语Two common failings are:1. skipping over the results to go directly to the findings 2. reporting only the results.Note that when you have both results and findings, it is usual to report the results first and then summarize the findings that are relevant to them, before you move on to the next set of results. 2323广东工业大学专业英语In qualitative and text based research, there are often no obvious result and your finding often consist of statements that emerge from or describe the data.Imagine you have interview 20 boys and 20 girls on their experience of taking a test.Your finding here may be that the boys report greater anxiety than the girls.In this kind of research, writers often report findings and then provide evidence for them from their data.2424广东工业大学专业英语WRITING ABOUT DATAdiscussing result and findings Discussion is an important concept in postgraduate research and many theses have a section with this title.Discussion means stepping back from your results and findings and attempting to explain them in the context of :1. the results and finding in other studies2. the conditions in which the research took place.2525广东工业大学专业英语CONCLUSIONS总结：对自己的研究工作的一个总结，可以提出后续的研究方向以及准备解决哪些问题。

Summarize your researchSpell out your contributionState the limitations of your studySuggest potential areas of future research2626广东工业大学专业英语CONCLUSION-PURPOSE OF THE CONCLUSIONFor more papers, the conclusion section should:Show how the research gap has been filledState to what extent the research has been successfully conductedIn doing so, youAnswer the “so what”? QuestionJustify the importance of your study and its contribution to the field.2727广东工业大学专业英语CONCLUSION- MOVES OF THE CONCLUSIONTo achieve the above purposes, the conclusion usually contains five elements in the following order : 2828广东工业大学专业英语1. Restatement of the study’s purposeRecapitulate the main points b stating again(i) the situation in the field before your study was carried out, i.e. the problems and gaps(ii) the study’s purpose; and(iii) your research questionCONCLUSION- MOVES OF THE CONCLUSION2929广东工业大学专业英语2. summary of the major findingsPresent succinctly your answers to each of your research questionsState your prove hypotheses, if anyCONCLUSION- MOVES OF THE CONCLUSION3030广东工业大学专业英语CONCLUSION- MOVES OF THE CONCLUSION3.

Limitations of your studyBe critical of your studyState the weaknesses of all aspects of your study, e.g. methodology and generalisability.Acknowledge any mistakes made, and the problem and weaknesses that remain.Show that you are a reflective researcher. It is better that you point our your limitations than have the examiners point them out for you.CONCLUSION- MOVES OF THE CONCLUSION3232广东工业大学专业英语5. Recommendations for further researchState the need for further researchMake concrete and constructive suggestions about further lines of investigationProvide brief justifications CONCLUSION- MOVES OF THE CONCLUSION3333广东工业大学专业英语第二部分第二部分研究论文的常用语法、词汇和句型研究论文的常用语法、词汇和句型 3434广东工业大学专业英语时态的用法The past simple must be used to refer to the processes or findings of a single completed study or a series of studies.Woods(2001) conducted a survey of 200 HK residents. 100 were males and 100 were female.Lee(1) analyzed and compared the DNA structure of ….3535广东工业大学专业英语时态的用法Both the past simple and the present simple can be used when referring to what was written in a paper rather than describing the process or findings of the research.Legg(2004) described the effect of drug addiction on the learning ability of adolescents.Smith and Jones(23) point out that Shakespeare was not an atheist, rather a religious man.3636广东工业大学专业英语时态的用法The present simple is generally used to indicate a current debate.However, at the moment there is no agreement on this matter. Chan(2005) contends that Disneyland will bring economic benefit to HK, while Lee(2005) believes that it will not.3737广东工业大学专业英语时态的用法The present perfect is used to refer to a whole area of study.Studies into second language acquisition have tended to focus on adults and adolescents rather than children(24).A number of studies have demonstrated the need for more research into the area of economic growth on the Mainland (Leung 2003).3838广东工业大学专业英语时态的用法The present perfect is used to show the currently accepted state of affairs when it is contrasted with what was previously accepted.Ng’s(2004) study found that trainee nurses do not cope well with being confronted with death for the first time.

You can put them in other sentential position.4949广东工业大学专业英语连词AlternativesInstead of using one- or two-word connectives such as moreover and furthermore, you may use longer but clearer alternatives, such as-another point is that… -a further consideration is that… -a further point is that…5050广东工业大学专业英语连词Look at the two sets of examples below.1a. China’s industrial base is rapidly growing in strength.

On the contrary is usually used to state that a preceding idea is false.They are not rude. On the contrary, they are extremely well mannered.The first sentence stats that X (they are rude) is not true. The second sentence, introduced by on the contrary, expresses an entirely opposite opinion, Y. it implies that X is entirely false.连词5656广东工业大学专业英语连词On the contraryYou use this expression when you have just said that X is not true and are going to explain how the opposite of X is true.e.g. I am not rejecting the theory; on the contrary, I am suggesting a hypothesis that calls for more substantial research for further exploration of the theory.5757广东工业大学专业英语On the other hand is mostly used to introduce the second of tow conflicting points of view from the same person/people/community.e.g. Harry is hesitant about his research procedure. He wants to analyze the secondary data before the primary data because he has experience in this approach; on the other hand, he is aware that it is more appropriate to start with primary data for this research.连词5858广东工业大学专业英语连词On the other hand can be used to introduce the second of two contrasting points, facts or ways of looking at something.He might have got caught in a traffic jam. On the other hand, he might still be asleep.It may rain tomorrow, on the other hand it may be sunny so we can all go hill climbing.5959广东工业大学专业英语连词The use of However/ Nevertheless / NonethelessMany students think these are interchangeable but they are not. “Nevertheless” / “Nonetheless” tells you that the following information is surprising in view of the previous information. “However” does not have this connotation of unexpectedness.6060广东工业大学专业英语连词Look at the example below.I lost my wallet today. However there wasn’t much money in it.Here you cannot use “Nevertheless”/ “Nonetheless”. There is nothing in the first sentence that makes the following sentence surprising or unexpected.This difference in meaning is very useful both because it helps the listener/reader predict and also because it conveys the speaker’s attitude to what he is saying.6161广东工业大学专业英语连词Look at the following examples:(a) he failed all his exams. However he is trying again.(b) he failed all his exams. Nevertheless / Nonetheless he is trying again.In (b) the speaker finds it surprising that the candidate, have failed all his exams, should try again. In (a) there is no such feeling of surprise.6262广东工业大学专业英语连词The point is that :i) You can write “However” instead of “Nevertheless” / “Nonetheless” but may lose some meaning.ii) You cannot always write “Nevertheless” / “Nonetheless” instead of “However”. The result could be nonsense.6363广东工业大学专业英语连词HoweverIntroduces a comment which is contradictory to what has just been said. e.g. He did not collect sufficient data; however, his arguments sound convincing.6464广东工业大学专业英语NeverthelessIntroduces a comment which is surprisingly contradictory to what has just been said.e.g. He thought he has not performed well in his assignment; nevertheless, he was awarded an A grade.连词6565广东工业大学专业英语FurthermoreIs used to introduce a piece of information or opinion that adds to or supports the previous one.e.g. Computer chess games are still a bit expensive, but they are getting cheaper all the time. Furthermore their chess-playing strength is rising.连词6666广东工业大学专业英语MoreoverIs used to introduce a piece of information or opinion that adds to or support the previous one; this information is usually more important than the previous one.e.g. The democrats have accused the opposition parties of corruption. Moreover, they have named names.连词6767广东工业大学专业英语EXPRESSING SIMILARITIES 表达相似：The two sentences below are examples of how you could express similarity in your writing.Both academic and research staff members were fairly satisfied with working relationships.The views of academic and research members of staff on the question of working relationships were almost the same.Note the use of similar and identical in the following sentences:The responses of academic and research staff to the question on working relationships were very similar.The responses of the two groups of respondents were identical.6868广东工业大学专业英语EXPRESSING SIMILARITIES 表达相似：The following expressions can be used to describe similarities you have observed from the finding.ExactlyPracticallyApproximatelyAlmost the same asNearlyAbout 6969广东工业大学专业英语EXPRESSING DIFFERENCES表达差异The sentences below are examples of how you could express this in a report.The findings indicate that academic members of staff were far more satisfied with their benefits than their research colleagues.It appears that academic members of staff were slightly more satisfied with the opportunities the company provides for interesting work than research members of staff.Unlike their research colleagues, academic members of staff were satisfied with their benefits.Academic staff were quite satisfied with the training opportunities provided by the company whereas their research counterparts were fairly dissatisfied.7070广东工业大学专业英语EXPRESSING DIFFERENCES表达差异The following expressions can be used to describe differences you have observed from the finding.MuchConsiderablySignificantlySomewhat higher/lower thanSlightlymarginally7171广东工业大学专业英语描述趋势：There was a slightrisein…smallincreasegradualDecreasesteadyDeclineSignificantFalldramaticdropSharprapidsteepsudden7272广东工业大学专业英语使用动词和副词描述上升或者下降的趋势…roseslightlyIn…IncreasedGraduallyDecreasedSteadilyDeclinedSignificantlyFellDramaticallydroppedSharplyrapidly7373广东工业大学专业英语下结论推测的表达推测的表达肯定的表达肯定的表达One reason for…The reason for…A possible explanation for…is that…The explanation for …are…This may/might/could be because…This is because……may be attributed to……can be attributed to…It seems that…It is clear/obvious that…The finding perhaps indicate the need to…The finding prove the need to…7474广东工业大学专业英语不确定的表达1. 可能性Property prices will increase this year.…may/might/could increase…It is almost certain/ highly likely/ possible thatThere is a strong/ definite possibility that…7575广东工业大学专业英语不确定的表达2.表示有一定的距离People are confident about the economic outlook.…appear/seem to be confident…It would appear/seem that…The evidence suggests that…According to…On the evidence of…On the basis of…In the view of…7676广东工业大学专业英语不确定的表达3.一般的，概括People in HK support the government.Most/many/the vast majority of people…For the most part……tend to support…Apart from/with the exception of /except for…7777广东工业大学专业英语不确定的表达4.弱动词The rise in interest rates(利率) caused the stock market to fall.The rise in interest rates contributed to the fall on the stock market.The results undoubtedly/clearly/obviously prove that …The result suggest that…The result reflect that…7878广东工业大学专业英语LANGUAGE USED IN CONCLUSIONS1.
