For example, in these two topics, "Comparative Study on Cultural Differences between China and America" (X) and "On Cultural Differences in Chinese and American Cuisine" (√).

By comparing the two, we can clearly know the degree of difficulty of these two topics. Chinese and American cultures include food, language, customs, clothing, etc., which can't be covered in the paper, and the arguments can't support the argument, and the content is vague; On the one hand, the discussion of Chinese and American food culture can be carried out in depth and breadth, with rich content.

2. Choose the subject you are good at and know yourself.

Focus on what you are good at, lest you don't know the actual situation, can't write the content, or write the content empty. At the same time, we should know what achievements have been made in this field, what problems have been solved by others, and what problems have not been solved in this field; Is there an argument? What is the focus of the debate? Which aspects of research are weak, which aspects of research are not involved, and so on. , to avoid duplication and similarity.

3. Try not to choose academic topics.

For all candidates who take part in the self-taught examination, writing academic papers is a challenging job, which is by no means as easy as imagined. In the process of self-taught examination, candidates can pass the examination through intensive reading, but doing research is a completely different process. Candidates can't know what they can do until they spend a lot of energy consulting a large number of documents. They also need to collect, analyze data and write reports themselves.
