課程簡述 This course builds upon students’ knowledge of paragraph writing, aiming to expand their knowledge further and enhance their skills in advanced academic writing. It guides them step by step toward crafting various well-structured essays, such as cause-effect, comparison, argument, problem-solution, and reaction essays. Students will better understand these essay forms and explore practical strategies for composing statements and presenting evidence. This semester, we will focus on the remaining three types of essays: argument, problem-solutions, and reactions. This course focuses on teaching the structure and strategies for writing academic essays rather than sharpening grammar knowledge and reading comprehension. Students who want to improve their grammar knowledge and reading ability should reconsider taking this course.
