书籍介绍
This book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write science research for publication in English. It is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a fast, do-it-yourself guide for those whose English language proficiency is above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from teaching graduate students at Imperial College London and has been extensively piloted. The book guides the reader through the process of writing science research and will also help with writing a Master's or Doctoral thesis in English. Science writing is much easier than it looks because the structure and language are conventional. The aim of this book is to help the reader discover a template or model for science research writing and then to provide the grammar and vocabulary tools needed to operate that model. There are five units: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion/Conclusion and Abstract. The reader develops a model for each section of the research article through sample texts and exercises; this is followed by a Grammar and Writing Skills section designed to respond to frequently-asked questions as well as a Vocabulary list including examples of how the words and phrases are to be used.

精彩摘录
- "If you describe all your results in equal detail they will seem to have the same level of importance. This is unlikely to be the case: some of your results are probably more significant than others, some are typical, and some are key results whereas others may be of more peripheral interest. However"
- "There are some grammar issues that are worth noting. When you use key words in constructing the title, be careful about creating complex compound nouns. The conciseness of a compound noun is very tempting for non-native writers and English has a high level of tolerance for such nouns, but make sure "
- "Use of 'a' and 'the': Use THE if or when you and your reader both know which thing/person you mean. e.g. I had a cheese sandwich and an apple for lunch. The sandwich was fine but the apple had a worm in it. Use THE if there is only one possible referent. e.g. Government policy is committed to protec"
- "The language you use to describe your results has as much power as the tables and graphs themselves, perhaps even more. Look at the two curves in the figure below:"
- "When you comment on this figure, if you write As can be seen in the figure, the two curves are very similar, the reader will focus on the similarity between the curves, and they will therefore seem similar. However, if you write As can be seen in the figure, the two curves are noticeably different, "
- "and you can use more than one in a sentence, depending on how ‘weak’ you want your claim to be — but be careful; if you add too many, the sentence may not mean very much at all: The evidence points to the possibility that in many cases, x can contribute to certain types of y."
- "Make sure that you understand the difference between the explanation of a result (why it occurred as it did), the evaluation of a result (what the numbers mean) and the implication of a result (what the result suggests or implies)."
- "Saying what your results are is the central function of the Results section; talking about what they mean is the central function of the Discussion."

宝藏！排版能进一步加强就更好了，比如彩色字体、comment 区块之类的～（O'Reilly 风格看习惯了就离不开了……
特别是前面几章，解答我好多疑惑！
看的翻译版，确实非常经典，写论文时候可以常用常新，排列组合各种模版，提高论文水平。
先粗略看过一遍，主要目的是为了看了之后考雅思的，里面有很多有用的词汇和句型。接下来就是整理笔记了
老司机鉴定表明绝逼实用到爆表
这本书写得非常简单易懂，方法看起来也很具操作性，准备下次写的时候试试看，唯一不足的就是没有讨论literature review该如何写。
一本面面俱到、恨不能从字里行间伸出手来教我写作的书，同时本身的写作技法也完美。除却我本能，但还是没有随着读书，逐句逐段改完我的论文。
结构鲜明思路清晰，很适合各个阶段的留学生一读的工具书。对语法、结构、用词各个方面都有帮助，英文版的用词也很亲民，所以也适合学生拿来练习阅读能力。其中最宝贵的应该是提供了写作大纲和模板，论文的整体结构都替你总结好，甚至每一个段落每一句该写什么内容都替你想好了。建议把这书速读一边，然后在写作的时候拿出来当做范本模仿。
除了提供一些词汇句型，没什么大的帮助
