提交到turnitin查重系统中有很大部分是essay。什么是Essay?简单来说,它就是一篇围绕某一个特定主题展开分析、推测、比较和阐述的文章。Essay有许多种,大家对于主要的Essay类型也很难达成完全的统一。本站整理了一些如何写essay的系列文章。这篇文章主要是讲解如何写好定义类的论文(Definition Essay)。
这一类的Essay旨在解释某个概念或者事物,包括它所表达的意思以及它的各个特点。
例:Write an essay defining “段子手” and discuss the different types.
一般在写这类文章的时候,主要有以下几种方式进行诠释:
1. 文章要清楚写明你将要解释什么概念
2. 在文章里要交代清楚关于这个概念的相关的基本信息
3. 用事实或者例子来阐述,让读者更容易理解和接受
A definition essay requires you to write your own definition of a word. The definition must be thorough and well supported by research and evidence. You may have to write a definition essay for a class or try it as a writing challenge to help improve your English skills. Start by selecting and defining the word. Then, create a draft that presents a detailed definition using references and sources. Polish the essay when you are done so it flows well and does not contain any grammatical errors.
1 Choose a concept or idea. Pick a word that describes a concept or idea, such as “Feminism,” “Justice,” “Patriotism,” “Family,” or “Love.” These words are open enough for you to create your own definition based on experience and find sources to support your definition.[1]
- You can also pick a concept like “Success,” “Friendship,” or “Faith.”
- Concepts like “Pain,” “Loss,” or “Death” are also good options.
2 Avoid concrete objects or things. Concrete objects like “pencil,” “ball,” or “shoe” can be difficult to use in a definition essay. You may not be able to say much about concrete objects or write about them in a deep or insightful way.[2]
- You can try taking a concrete object and using a similar word to make it more open-ended. For example, the word “house” is concrete and obvious. But the word “home” is more open-ended and allows you to create your own definition of the word.
3 Select a word you are familiar with. Go for a word that you recognize or understand on a basic level. This will make writing the definition a bit easier.[3]
- For example, you may choose a word like “success” because you are familiar with the word and feel you may have a lot to say about what it means to be successful or to feel success in your life.
