Features: Writing is the application of comprehensive skills, including subject knowledge, discovery of ideas, written expression, logical thinking, and theoretical analysis abilities, as well as the author's life experiences and personality, etc. All courses offered by the Chinese Department should be designed to enhance writing skills, and writing training is best integrated into daily learning, allowing for continuous practice, experience, and accumulation. The practice of writing is highly practical. Relying on a single course or a crash training session is not enough to improve writing proficiency. Simply listening to a teacher explain a few "rules" or shortcuts and trying to mimic them will not truly equip one to write effectively. This textbook is not a general overview of writing; it focuses less on theory and more on providing examples of academic writing, guiding students toward research methods, norms, and general research writing, while also emphasizing the "two aspects of integration" mentioned above.
