请教，如何提高英文写作能力，写论文老被骂。：（

人文社科的同学，究竟是怎么提高的呢？老是有基本错误，自己根本改不出来。还不说用词，老被批逻辑不清。
那怎么提高呢？背新概念？

来自好学又好问：

我觉得英文写作有一定的定式，像essay 有five paragraph essay etc。会了那一套老板就不会说你逻辑不清了。

我也是对写作和presentation特别发愁。人家presentation还讲究eye contact, 这些我们从小都没练过。也希望有高人能在这里指点一下写作。

1) if you have time, you may consider taking a writing class, where you would have a systematic training for effective writing.

2) before writing, think and organize your thoughts thoroughly and logically.

3) after completing your writing, it is a good habit to read it couple of times.

4) run spelling and grammar checking before ting to your husband who is the only man in the world to dare to criticize you (写论文老被骂):).

5) keep practicing...

来自网友SSL1234：

用词方面：你喜欢用母语写作吗？如果你的母语都干巴巴的，怎么可能奢求第二语言的创作是‘湿乎乎’的呢？
语法方面：多看，但不杂看，看严肃点的报刊杂志，先别看小说，理科教材虽然枯燥，但结构比较严谨，而且没有华丽胡哨的形容词和副词，是个入门的东西。（做好看两页睡觉的准备）
结构方面：找一篇好文章“套”写，用同义词换掉里面的形容词，副词等，又练语法又提高词汇。

"我们从小没有受过这样的训练，这么多东西要注意不顾此失彼都难啊。" ==> It is never too late to study more, practices make perfect.

If you live in Bay Area, California, UC Berkeley has pretty good extensions for evening classes.
Many years ago, I used to take some English classes for professionals.
