| Deciding on a title for your paper is not nearly as important as many other steps are, but it is still important. The title creates the first impression of your paper, and you want it to be positive. In addition, the process of choosing a title can let you know whether or not you truly have a handle on your topic. One ESL instructor told me tht she has often found that a student who cannot write a good title for his or her paper is a student who has written a bad paper.
I. The title should be a noun phrase, not a sentence or a noun clause. A good title may contain a gerund, but not a true verb. Bad Titles: Should violent TV be banned? Why TV promotes violence. Violence on TV: Should we be worried? Better Titles: The Social Impact of Television Violence Controlling Television Violence in the United States Some Possible Consequences of Televised Violence II. The title should indicate the narrow topic of the paper. A good title informs the reader of the specific subject to be discussed. Bad Titles: Computers in the Modern World Effects of Technology Electricity and It's Impact on Our Lives Better Titles: The Use of Computers in Elementary Classrooms The Impact of E-mail on Interpersonal Relationships Alternatives to Electrical Power in Rural Hospitals III. The title should be unambiguous and use only standard English word forms. Nonstandard or misused word forms create a negative first impression. Ambiguous forms create confusion or, sometimes, laughter. Check word forms in a dictionary. Bad Titles: Raising Violence in the U.S. Criminalism in American Society Criminal Ties in U.S.-Japanese Trade Better Titles: Causes of the Rising U.S. Crime Rate Reducing the Juvenile Crime Rate Organized Crime and International Trade ----  欢迎来我的主页
