1.1.2 Acknowledgements

The acknowledgements page is the place to express the researcher’s gratitude to those who have offered help in the process of research and thesis writing. The thanks are usually expressed to: (a) the supervisor; (b) the teachers and your classmates who once gave you suggestions or advice on your research; (c) persons who helped you collect data and do proof-reading; (d) family and friends who gave you either physical and/or mental support; (e) sources for financial support if there are any; (f) those who kindly permitted you to use their research instruments or other materials. (每一小标题中如果有多个要点，请放在一个整段中，可以用（1）（2）或者(a)(b)等标出；

如果是并列的几个词组，可以用分号隔开；不要每个单独成行，也不用分到下一级1.1.2.1 和 1.1.2.2 之类的标题了。)

1.1.3 Abstract

The abstract is a summary of your study and provides information concerning the following aspects: the purpose of the study, the research questions to be addressed, the subjects involved, the instruments used to collect the data, the procedures for collecting and analyzing the data, the findings and the conclusions. Mathematical formulae, diagrams, and other illustrative materials are not recommended for the printed abstract. Reference to specific works in the abstract should be avoided.

1.1.4 Table of Contents

The table of contents lists the headings and subheadings of each part of a thesis, including prefatory and postscriptural matters.

1.1.5 List of Tables and Figures

List of tables and figures is a place where the tables and figures spread out in your thesis are now put together. Each table or figure has a page number. Referring to the page number, the reader can quickly make access to the information needed.

Figures should be distinguished from tables. A figure may refer to a graph, a chart or a diagram, or a picture while a table must be either a square or a rectangle in which numbers and words are presented in rows and columns.

1.2 Text

1.2.1 Introduction

The Introduction is an overview of the whole study. It is usually short without technical details and can be understood even by most casual readers. Another challenge of writing this section is to present sufficient information for the reader to get an overall picture of the study.

1.2.2 Literature Review

An introduction is followed by a literature review in which the relevant existing literature is reviewed to indicate what has already been done and what problems remain to be solved. Equipped with the knowledge of this section, the reader can visualize the research context where the link between the proposed study and the previous ones is displayed and its potential contribution to the existing literature is demonstrated.

1.2.3 Methodology

The Methodology section describes the design of the proposed study. It includes general as well as specific research questions or hypotheses, information about subjects, instruments, the procedures for data-collection and data-analysis. The information presented in this section should be so explicit and transparent that any other researcher can easily replicate your study if s/he wants to.

1.2.4 Results and Discussion

The following section is Results and Discussion. The results are the answers to your research questions and the discussion explains the possible reasons for a specific finding, and the significance of the findings, the link between the present findings and the previous ones, etc.

1.2.5 Conclusion

The Conclusion section includes major findings, implications of the findings and recommendations for future research.

1.3 Postscriptural Matter

1.3.1 References

You might have read hundreds of books and papers. Not all references are, however, required to be listed in the Reference section. The references here only refer to the materials you cite in your thesis.

1.3.2 Appendices

The Appendices section contains any materials that you think important but cannot be put in the body of the thesis. The following materials are typical examples of what is presented as appendices: (1) the complete questionnaire; (2) the interview schedule; (3) the diary instructions; (4) the test papers; (5) the materials used in the training section; (6) the tasks the subjects are expected to undertake such as reading, or writing, listening, speaking, etc.; and (7) the detailed results of data-analysis
