在这个学期我已经写了三部著作，包括定义的论点，论据和论证道德的建议。在这三篇文章中，英语毕业论文，我认为最好的是“社会分配公正”。这项工作说明，富人有义务做慈善事业，答案是肯定的，因为这是促进分配正义的重要组成部分。为了支持我的观点，我证明了三点，认为财富分享的钱是有益于穷人，整个社会和富人自己。我表达了自己对这个有争议问题的观点。最后，我简短的话总结一下这篇文章。
In this semester I’ve written three works, including a definitional argument, a ethical argument and a proposal argument. Among these three articles, the best one I think is “Distributive Justice in Society”. This work argues whether wealthy people is obligated to do charity, the answer to which is yes, because it is an important part of promoting distributive justice. To support my opinion, I demonstrated three points arguing the riches sharing money is beneficial for the poor, the whole society and the rich people themselves. I narrated by some people don’t think so and I gave my argument. In the end I conclude the article with a short paragraph.
I consider this one as the best work in this semester as the reasons below. First of all, it tells what I really think. I expressed my own point of view fully on this controversial issue. I’m 100% honest and sincere, which is the basic rule we should abide when writing.
Secondly, it was logic and well organized. The structure of this article is quite clear, without redundant paragraphs explaining misused examples. From the beginning my opinion is presented in a clear way. In the middle I argued in three different aspects from the micro level to the macro level, which is to say from individuals to the whole society. The part before conclusion, I started with putting the opposite opinion, then arguing with it using the evidences I checked. Conclusion is a brief summary of, or an emphasis on my own standpoint.
Thirdly, I referred to lots of articles and data to support my thought. I quoted Forsyth.D.R to elaborate the essential place of the responsibility of wealthy people in the paragraph addressing the necessity of charity. And in the same part, I gave examples of celebrities like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett doing philanthropy. And I also quote a sentence of Mrs. Gates to illustrate their as well as my point of view. In the next part arguing the benefits of charity, I use a widely liked proverb “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” to show the helpful effects it will exert on the poor people and that this concept is accepted by the vast society. Plus, I quoted from the Economists and the book "Why Should the Rich Care about the Health of the Poor?" in the next few paragraphs to offer a more strong support.
Above are some aspects I think I excelled in. However, there are still some weak points in this and other works. Spelling and syntax have always been my weak points as a student from China, though I believe I have already progressed a lot. When narrating my point of view, I’m supposed to be more formal and strict in the style of writing, which I believe it will get better as I write more. I can say, yet many has to be improved in the future, my goal as a writer to promote my own standpoint clearly and logically has reached by studying in this class and practicing after class.
In the days taking this class, I witnessed my progress in three aspects. I started to pay attention on the structure of my writings. When I try to write something, I will think it through in my brain and give an outline of it. Before I just think as I wrote, which result in broken paragraphs and disrupted ideas. As I organize and arrange my writing, it feels like writing become easier for me especially when facing complex arguments.
I learnt to place myself as a writer and imagine what the audience will think and say when they see my works. I became aware of what kind rhetoric I should use to convince them, what tone I should make the article is to let them feel like reading, or where I should use formal words and where casual.
As we are living in information era, how to choose the correct, reliable data or source is a big problem. In the process of writing s this semester, I acknowledged how to select useful information from the immense Internet. Gossips, rumors has different forms but they are in common for one point. They are mostly exaggerated and lack source of data or quotation. So when writing a serious we should swipe the wrong massages out of our sights.
As a conclusion, huge progress I had made in this class. In the future, I believe I will make more and they are in these fields. I hope I can make less grammar and spelling mistakes in my writing as I practice more, which is mentioned above. And then I wish that I can get rid of some informal patterns of Chinese English and try to be fluently in writing. In the terms of quoting, I believe as my reading level advanced, I can use data and quotations from more professional periodicals. |
