我主要是要申請人文社會科學, 有幾間學校都要求要writing sample,要7-10頁 不過都沒有說是double spaced 或是 single spaced, 我寫信去學校問,都過一個星期了,一點音訊也沒QQ 請問一般來說應該是怎麼樣阿? 另外,有一間學校有特別要求,可是我有點點不太明白這是什麼意思 我把我困惑的地方用黃色:(其他是為了有上下文,方便大家為我解惑) Within your composition, point out how that topic relates to your research and scholarly interests. In other words, what research would you like to conduct on the topic? Feel free to develop your composition on any topic you wish within this broad framework, but be certain to focus on a single topic, be certain to explore your research interests related to that topic, and include citations for any references that you use. Graduate faculty will examine your paper for clarity and grammatical construction, organization and focus of ideas, effectiveness of transitions between major themes and ideas, validity and soundness of reasoning, and quality of evidence you provide in support of your positions. As such, you are writing an argument, not a descriptive work. Results of the evaluation of your paper will be used by graduate faculty in making a recommendation to the Graduate School concerning your admission or non-admission to graduate studies. 我不懂的是:他要我conduct a research,可是如果只有7-10頁, 怎麼能包含問題、假設、研究方法、統計資料分析,和結論? 另外,什麼叫做argument?? 難道是像GRE那樣挑出邏輯不對的地方?? 我能找一篇我有興趣的學術期刊文章,然後寫article crtique嗎? 或者是,假設我有興趣的研究主題是: 生態旅遊對於自然資源永續發展的探討 我要怎麼寫才算是又深又廣??? 1.寫一下緣起 (為什麼這個重要)(半頁) 2.文獻回顧:什麼是生態旅遊,什麼是自然資源、永續發展 (光文獻探討,定義可能就好幾頁囉QQ) 3.假設我的立場是:生態旅遊對永續發展其實一點都沒有幫助 (為了要argument??) 提出我找到的文獻或是質疑那些結論是有幫助的文章不夠精確? 4.結論 這是我想到最簡潔的,可是我覺得這樣很廣泛,好像不夠深入(?) 不知道版上的大大們,能不能撥冗指點迷津, 我真的很認真想很久了,只是我真的真的很需要幫助.... 拜託有經驗的大家,給我點建議與方向吧 謝謝!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 98.230.25.254

你是寫給專家看的,不是寫給一般人看的,要直接切進去論述
