(建议用时40分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解is one of the most important skills for any college student.Many nonnative English speakers have no idea what professors in the U．S. expect from a college paper.A college paper is a piece of writing that can be as long as 20 or more pages.Even native Englishspeaking college students struggle with how to succeed with such a difficult responsibility.
Deborah Dessaso is the Writing Resource Coordinator at the University of the District of Columbia.She says college writing is very different from what many students experience earlier in their education.Most U．S.high schools teach students how to write fiveparagraph essays.Students are often unprepared for the amount of research they have to do for a college paper.s of the University of Maryland Writing Center.Hijazi is also an international student from Syria in the second year of her PhD program in English studies.She says the language barrier is not the biggest problem for students whose first language is not English.
In a traditional paper，the first paragraph often contains the thesis statement. This statement is a onesentence summary of the paper's main argument.The first paragraph of a college paper，or any paper，is usually the most challenging.The first paragraph is also the most important because it will guide the structure and show the voice of the entire paper.But not every type of writing is the same.There are also case studies and field reports in addition to traditional papers.
Dessaso says that the best option for a student who wants to improve his writing is to read.Reading examples of the type of paper your professor expects you to write can be very helpful.Professors sometimes provide examples.You can also search the Internet for examples of papers about similar topics.But you should never copy another person's work.Professors will find out if the work is copied and you will get in a lot of trouble.
Hijazi also says that writing a paper takes time.Students should let other students read their work and listen to criticism.
