As far as I am concerned, every kind of language has its own way for writing. Thus, Chinese writing paper is different from what American writes. Sometimes I was wondering why students in the US usually do research for their papers, because secondary school students in China hardly ever do it that way. Nevertheless, we do need some examples to support our essays. We know it from TV programs, books, newspaper and Internet during daily life.
We do paraphrasing and summary, but we haven’t to do them. This is another difference between Chinese and American. Americans pay much more attention on “owning rights” than Chinese, which means that they respect other authors’ work. It is really important for our Chinese students to study. Otherwise, we need to learn more about MLA and APA, so that we won’t be considered as stealing others’ work.
I found it is very interesting that American students can use pictures and videos in their essay. That is a great idea. Not only can the images make the essay colorful, but also they can explain our topic clearly and better.
