文摘Persuasive or argumentative writing,which focuses on the reader and seeks to change the reader’s mind,or to bring the reader’s point of view to the writer’s,is the most prominent and practical academic writing and is also the most complex and most challenging.To achieve the persuasive purpose,audience is a key element to consider.But unfortunately,many Chinese college students have no sense of audience at all.Besides,although some researchers have mentioned in their books or papers the important role the audience plays in persuasive writing,so far few writing books or papers have made a relatively comprehensive and systematic study and exploration of how to strengthen Chinese college students’audience awareness.So,this paper,which is intended to elaborate on it,first gives a definition to audience awareness,then analyzes the influence audience awareness exerts on persuasive writing,and finally proposes a few feasible and effective methods to strengthen Chinese college students’audience awareness.
文摘Chi Zijian’s novel White Snow Crow is about the pestis in Northeast China from the autumn and winter of 1910 to the spring of 1911,focusing on the living conditions of people in Fujiadian,Harbin,under the shadow of the pestis,and thus connects the vicissitudes of Harbin in the development of modern Chinese history.Re-reading this novel in the context of the post-epidemic era not only allows us to immerse ourselves in the specific temporal and spatial fields described in the text with an immersive reading mindset,feel the heavy impact that the disaster has brought to the people of Northeast China,but also provide us with a different perspective to observe the current social reality.In particular,the social problems shown by the novel through the pestis and the description of ordinary people’s life experience under the plague still deserve further discussion.
文摘As the cross-cultural communication activities have become increasingly frequent,teaching of writing,one of cross-cultural communication activities,sets“developing students’cross-cultural awareness”as one of its goals.However,traditional language teaching,which focuses on linguistic knowledge rather than cultural knowledge,results in the cultural barrier problems among students.This paper analyzes the manifestation of cultural barriers from the aspect of language and puts forward some corresponding approaches and methods.
