Part I Questions
1. Why should we write quotes in an essay
Because we should give credit to quoted authors.
Whenever you use someone else’s words in an essay, you must indicate clearly that the words are not your own. You do this by using proper formatting and by using endnotes to give the original author credit. There are two basic ways to format quotations, one for short quotations and the other for long quotes.
2. How to write a quote in an essay
1) Select your quotations carefully and don’t use more than you need. Use
quotations when accuracy or exact wording is important or when the quotation makes a powerful point. Introduce the quotations in your own words and make sure they fit smoothly into the flow of your essay.
2) Use double quotation marks around a quotation when you use a direct quotation
that is less than four lines long. Don’t use quotation marks around paraphrased material (material summarized in your own words).
3) Indent a quotation if it is more than four lines long. Do not use quotation marks
around indented quotations.
4) Capitalize the first letter of a quote if it is a complete sentence but not if it is a
fragment. Put periods and commas inside quotation marks. Put colons and semicolons outside. Put question marks and exclamation points inside the quotation marks if they are part of the quotation, but put them outside the quotation marks if they refer to the sentence as a whole.
5) Give endnotes to every quotation, even paraphrased quotations, at the end of the
essay.

On Positive Chinese-to-English Transfer
Introduction
Language transfer is the influence resulting from similarities and differences between the target language and any other language that has been previously acquired. …
This essay aims to discuss the positive effects and influences from Chinese to English language in Chinese students’ English learning process, and to find out whether there is positive transfer from Chinese to English language in Chinese students’ English learning process.
1. Comparison between English and Chinese Language
English language and Chinese language as two branches of language are out of question having some similarities. However, because they belong to two different language systems, their users’ different cultural conventions and political beliefs make them differ from each other. All those similarities and differences to some extent make impacts on the language transfer between English and Chinese. This thesis is going to compare English and Chinese language from the perspective of pronunciation, vocabulary and discourse.
1.1 Pronunciation
English and Chinese are two different languages: English belongs to Indo-European Language while Chinese belongs to Sino-Tibetan Languages. Chinese language has nineteen monophthongs and diphthongs, twenty-one consonants while English has twenty monophthongs and diphthongs, twenty-eight consonants.
Therefore in spite of those same monophthongs, diphthongs and consonants, there are still some English pronunciations which can not be found in Chinese language, such as [∫] and [t∫].
1.1.1 Chinese Language vs. English Language
Although the researches on the language transfer are without number, they are mostly based on two different foreign languages (such as English and French). But, Chinese experts at home have been branching out a great amount of experiments and studies, among which most of the experts held the ideas that there must exist negative transfer from mother language (hear refers to Chinese language) to the second language (here refers to English language). However, researches on the positive transfer from Chinese language to English language are scarce.
… 以此类推
Conclusion
The present study is an attempt to find out whether there is positive Chinese-to-English transfer in Chinese students’ English learning process. From the above analysis it is obvious to see that ... Learners and teachers should make great use of those linguistic and non-linguistic factors, so as to promote the positive transfer from Chinese language to English language.

Many rules have to do with research and proper citation. As is pointed out: While some cultures may not insist so heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc., American culture does. A charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences, including expulsion from a university or loss of a job, not to mention a writer's loss of credibility and professional standing. This resource, which does not reflect any official university policy, is designed to help you develop strategies for knowing how to avoid accidental plagiarism.
