Scientific Writing for Beginners (1): Basic Knowledge
|||
English is not my mother tongue. Today, people say to me:”How did you learn to write so well?” I learned basic English in China, where I had the best English teacher of the whole school (Shangdong College of Oceanography, now Ocean University of China) and graduate school (Zhongshan University). Still, I could barely write (or talk) when I came to US in 1986. Now, I can write research papers with confidence, I have clients from Japan and Korea as well as China.
If you are a beginner and want to publish research papers in English journals, please follow me chapter by chapter. I will help you so some day you can write research papers in English with confidence.
In order to write (English) well, one must read, read and read. If you don’t have time for novels written in English, read publications in English on the topics you are most familiar with. It is other people’s writing you are reading now, but soon the words, phrases and sentences will become your own. This is how you acquire basic knowledge of English for writing.
Remember: Rome was not built in one day, nor is one’s ability to write well in English.
