請教，如何提高英文寫作能力，寫論文老被罵。：（

人文社科的同學，究竟是怎麽提高的呢？老是有基本錯誤，自己根本改不出來。還不說用詞，老被批邏輯不清。
那怎麽提高呢？背新概念？

我覺得英文寫作有一定的定式，像essay 有five paragraph essay etc。會了那一套老板就不會說你邏輯不清了。

我也是對寫作和presentation特別發愁。人家presentation還講究eye contact, 這些我們從小都沒練過。也希望有高人能在這裏指點一下寫作。

1) if you have time, you may consider taking a writing class, where you would have a systematic training for effective writing.

2) before writing, think and organize your thoughts thoroughly and logically.

3) after completing your writing, it is a good habit to read it couple of times.

4) run spelling and grammar checking before ting to your husband who is the only man in the world to dare to criticize you (寫論文老被罵):).

5) keep practicing...

用詞方麵：你喜歡用母語寫作嗎？如果你的母語都幹巴巴的，怎麽可能奢求第二語言的創作是‘濕乎乎’的呢？
語法方麵：多看，但不雜看，看嚴肅點的報刊雜誌，先別看小說，理科教材雖然枯燥，但結構比較嚴謹，而且沒有華麗胡哨的形容詞和副詞，是個入門的東西。（做好看兩頁睡覺的準備）
結構方麵：找一篇好文章“套”寫，用同義詞換掉裏麵的形容詞，副詞等，又練語法又提高詞匯。

If you live in Bay Area, California, UC Berkeley has pretty good extensions for evening classes.
Many years ago, I used to take some English classes for professionals.
