In the process of writing undergraduate graduation thesis, both students and tutors should attach importance to the opening report, and should not regard it as dispensable or go through the motions. The so-called opening report is to ask questions and demonstrate ideas. The opening report mainly includes: raising questions, literature review and demonstrating research design and ideas, among which literature review is the basis and key to raising and demonstrating questions.

Three points should be paid attention to when writing the opening report: first, the opening report should be considered and arranged according to the problems; Second, the main body of the opening report should be content, not "viewpoint" or "angle"; Third, the opening report is for everyone to exchange and discuss, try to write it clearly, be modest, and make people willing to make comments.

The opening report is the first task in graduation thesis teaching, and its function is to explain the basis of thesis topic selection and the preliminary conception of research design and ideas. From the content point of view, the opening report includes three elements: first, asking questions; The second is literature review; The third is to demonstrate the research design and ideas.

Literature review is the basic link in writing the opening report, which occupies a very important and key position in the whole process. Literature review is also called literature review, literature investigation, literature review and literature evaluation, and these words can be used interchangeably.

Literature review is a "process", that is, a systematic review and analysis of the literature related to a research problem so far, in order to understand the research situation in this field, and it is also a "result", that is, sorting out a problem, proposition or hypothesis to be studied, and presenting the connection and difference between one's own research and existing research as much as possible.
