This course intends to sharpen up students' essay writing skills which are problematic for many of the third-year university students. Moreover, it also hopes to build up some basic requirements to write a report/research paper. The important skills taught in this course include organizing the structure of the essays, responding to readings, paraphrasing, summarizing, and reporting. Students are required, on the one hand, to aim at producing well-written essays. On the other hand, they need to produce high quality of the writing contents for each essay based on the four criteria: unity, support, coherence, and sentence skills.
