What is writing(Chao Zhou)

I think it is a difficult task for everyone to write a essay because we do not like writing essay and have no practice in our high school education which is a large loss to the students in china. Our English writing is follow the same pattern, that is at frist we use our own language to talk about one topic, and then translat sentence by sentence. This style of writing tend to be blunt, there is no feeling. Second problem for international students is the vocabulary, even we know lots of new words, but we don’t know how to use it, in different scene, we must use differents words, like the dialog for our short essay, the younger generation and old generation is not the same style of speaking, so we must use different words.
How to write a good essay? In my mind, first the idea of the essay must interesting, we need to do more comparing and contrasting in various ways than we have already done, and to cite good quotations that back up our points. Make sure that we keep track of the sources of our quotations. We should mark each quotation in the body of our finished essay with a number, and match it with its source, given at the end of the essay on a separate sheet of paper. Write the sources in the proper way. Second, give clear examples and good quotes. Pretend we are a lawyer as we make ourpoints in your essay. Try to make our points so well that they can't be denied. Prove them.
It has been said that as long as we remember our language even if we lost our country, we still can rebuild our country. Language is a national symbol. Writing is a way to learn a language, we need to know how to say before you write. Writing is the most important stage of language learning. We can not utilize a second language to write a real good essay, beacuse we have no feelings in English, English is only a tool for us, ,maybe if you sentence is full of feelings, when you write it in Chinese, but when you change it to English, and you loss your feeling. We want to say that as a Chinese student, we are proud of our logical thinking, China is emphasis on basic education, at least in math, therefore, we would have more structured writing. It’s seems that a good writing should have a good order. Such as, if you want to write a topic which is want you to discuss the education, you can first discuss the impact of education on personal, and then the impact for a family, at last talk about the education is real improtand for a country.
Final, I want to say that write your own stuff is the best writing, we can learn from others, but we can’t just copy.
