Key words:characteristics;English writing;critical reading and thingking;thoughtful revision;creatity
What would be considered good English writing,then?Some educators in English-speaking countries promoted a set of basic characteristics of English writing,for example:unity;coherence;emphasis;development and these good values are still relevant ,our discussion of English writing,focuses on a different set of concepts.
English writing calls of critical reading and critical thinking
Good writing,especially good,effective English writing,calls for critical reading and critical ,a college student, has to read some things about John Kennedy in order to write an effective term paper on her chosen Williams needs more than her first-hand experiences and direct observations in Beijing to write an effective booklet on though Julong Wang’s essay on his hometown is more “personal”,he needs to get more informed on the arguments that have been made concerning how to help less developed regions to moderize and catch up with the coastal provinces.
’s the critical reading and critical thinking
What is critical reading（or reading with a critical eye）?It is reading not only for comprehension,but also to analyze the values and assumptions embodied in the texts and examine their historical,cultural as well as literary contexts.
What is critical thinking ?In thinking critically about any essue of certain complexity ,you need to be willing to see it from different perspectives,to face objections to your own beliefs, and to adopt a skeptical attitude toward authority and toward views that seem obviously right to you. To thinking critically is to willingly give up your monopoly an truth and respect your opponents by analyzing their views you engage in multi-perspective,analytic,and evaluative thinking,you will ofter have second and third thoughts concerning the may find yourself,to your own surprise,adopting a position that you initially couldn’t imagine you would writing is characterized by insight gained through an intellectually rigorous and open-minded inquiry .
importance of critical reading and critical thinking
Good English writing calls for critical reading and critical concept is particularly important for you became many non-native speakers of English tend to be overly concerned with be
ing correct in grammar and good English writing is expected to be free from grammatical and other error,it is worth repeating here that good writing is not good grammar.
Actually ,excessive anxiety over grammar can only hinder you from expressing yourself effectively in English writing or this advanced level,you should be much more concerned with higher-level ,more important issues of English writing.
English writing involves thoughtful revision
The necessity of thoughtful revision
This is true even with the most experienced will be convinced of this fact if you go and study the manuscrips have evolved. Many great writers subject their writings to numerous revision before feeling ,the great modern Chinese writer,for example,talks about pacing pensively in the study for days searching for the right if you have developed the finest plan and your drafting has gone rather smoothly,you will need to revise what you have written.
function of thoughtful revision
By revision,of course, we do not mean simply editing and proof-reading to clean up grammatical and spelling revision involves making changes as both the macro and micro macro
（meaning“large”in Greek origin）revision, you look at the whole essay in terms of such determining factors as your subject,audience,and purpose,and try to identify major problems and fix them so as to bring about better unity and micro （meaning“small”in its Greek origin）revision,you work at the paragraph and sentence levels to bring clarity and coherence to your writing.
English writing is dircted toward an audience
importance of it
The term audience usually refers to viewers of movies and TV shows and listeners of radio programs .It is now expanded to include readers of written materials in discussions of writing concept is so improtant because different audiences can have significant impact on the content,structure,and style of your writing even if you are writing about exactly the same topic.
Let’say you want to write a paper analyzing why terrorists chose to hijack passenger planes to hit the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, September 11,’d most likely approach the subject differently if you are writing for readers in the for readers in Afghanistan,Iraq,and other Islamic coutries.
Let’s take SARS（Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome）as another can write about its symptoms,causes ,and prevention measures to 1）foreign tourists;2）elementary school students;3）average city residents;4）medical personnel involved in SARS-related topic is more or less the same,but would you write exactly the same way to the four different groups of audience?
Awareness of your audience
A keen awareness of your audience throughout the writing process is esstential to effective English ,it is necessary to sit down and analyze your audience in terms of their knowledge,values,assumptions, English writing will show a keen awareness of the intended readers and use the most effective strategies to achieve the purpose of writing.
This is a very important concept because different audiences can impact and shape your writing significantly in terms of content,structure,and style,even when you are writing about the same topic or subject .For example,explaining the character of Lu Xun’s Ah Q to college-educated Chinese readers would be quite different from presenting the same topic to college students in the the latter case,much more background information about Lu Xun and the social and historical environment in which he created the character would need to be provided before you could proceed to any meaningful discussion
.For an academic paper—or any writing for that matter—to be effective,it is often necessary to sit down and analyze your audience before actually starting to write your can be examined from several different persectives:
1）Audience and Author social relations
2）Audience’s knowledge about your subject
3）Audience’s attitudes to or viewpoints on the subject and your position in the writing
writing achieves a clear purpose
The purpose of English writing
Whenever you write,you write for a purpose,regardless you are aware of it or you want to write an essay about financial aid for college students under the current purpose would you like to achieve?It could be:
To inform readers of the merits and problems of this new system
To make people aware of the financial difficulties of students from low-income families and rural and less develped areas
To suggest certain changes to fine-tune the system so that these students will not be priced out of higher education
A different purpose will difinitely have a different impact on your writing .
The concept of role refers to the type of person you want your audience to think you are. Generally speaking,you would want your audience to think that you are knowledgeable,intelligent,and well-informed .Why would they bother to read what you are writing if they think you are ignorant,stupid and not knowing what you are talking about?
But you may assume different roles for different pieces of writing depending on such determining factors as the subject,audience,and assume certain persona proper for a particular writing event,much as if you were an actor being assigned a role in a tuition of higher education,for example,you can write as a college student who has first-hand experience（an insider’s view）;as a parent with a low or average income who sees a much larger picture and makes some relevant policy recommendations.
The role or persona you have adopted for the piece of writingmay have a direct effect on the ton
