I just finished my defense and summed up some experience. In fact, writing well is on the one hand, but also pay attention to writing a paper that can easily pass the defense. . .

In fact, the paper on economy and culture, especially Japanese economy and culture, is most easily stumped when defending, because those teachers know more than you, especially foreign teachers. If you don't do an in-depth investigation and only have a superficial understanding, it's easy to choke on their questions. . . You won't ask any questions unless you study a very biased aspect and they don't know it.

Secondly, for literature, don't write works that everyone knows. One of my classmates went in for more than ten minutes and came out without asking, because the teacher had never read the book. . . .

Thirdly, I personally think that language research is flattering, just like we are from China, but we don't do in-depth and systematic research on Chinese, which is the same for Japanese teachers. Of course, if you happen to meet a graduate majoring in Mandarin, it's your bad luck. . .

Some people say that some historical things are ok, but you should be full, comprehensive and correct, and don't be fooled by unofficial history.

The environment is also good, but there should be many people writing. It's best to find out if any predecessors have written it. Generally speaking, writing similar topics is not allowed for three years.

I think of these for the time being, for reference only. . . It is also important to know some of your strengths and temperament according to the specific situation. . . .
