Five forbidden and three elements of academic
paper writing

• Five forbidden
• Firstly is the material stacking. Striving for
  strict structure, trenchant consecution,
• reasonable consequence, clear arrangement.
• Secondly is a brave beginning and weak ending.
  The end of article is the abstract
• of the content, and the end is conclusion, the
  preface problem proposal, analysis
• in the article and deduction, conclusion and
  suggestion.
• Thirdly is talking with eloquence. The article
  exposition must choose project and
• have a definite object in view, do not do lacking
  the necessary materials one
• cannot accomplish one's intentions. The beginning
  thesis writers should not have
• a long and minute statement it should persist in
  the method of making much fuss
• about a tiny thing.
• Fourthly is the non-flexibility. It should
  project the thesis topic and argument,
• abundant argument grounds, clear expression.
• Fifthly is the literature color. The thesis is
  the seeking written outcome, the
• characteristics is based on the practical and
  realistic, scientific and functional.
• Three elements
• Firstly is paying attention to the theory value
  and practical value of thesis.
• Secondly is the standard language and grammar.
• Thirdly is emphasizing readability, unity and
  coherence structure of thesis.
