2022马歇尔论文竞赛选题小技巧
紧跟时事vs侧重理论
第②题:俄罗斯入侵乌克兰这个事件改变了全球经济吗?
相关知识点:Global economy
第⑤题:公共产品可以由私营部门提供吗?
相关知识点:Public goods
第二题和第五题之间的侧重点就差别更大一些。第二题紧跟时事,需要同学分析讨论俄乌战争对国际经济的影响。从题目当中就可以看出国际经济是非常宽泛的概念,并且绝大多数考试局都需要到12年级临近结尾的时候才会学到相关的内容。
同时这道题需要同学对事实和理论结合的能力较强,非常考验学生能否对经济知识进行活学活用。相反因为是大热时事,所以在搜集资料的时候会相对比较容易,并且网络上新闻里也会有较多的专家热评等信息可以帮助同学提供思路。
第五题的侧重点则完全不同,是一道相对更侧重理论的题目。Public good这个概念也是11年级就应该熟练掌握的知识点,但实际教学的时候更多的把这个作为一个事实来教,所以很多同学可能根本没有想到过题目提出的这个问题,思路上有比较大的局限性。
另一方面这道题会比较难以写的出彩,因为主体框架上就是进行分类讨论2~3个理由,并且深入分析它们的合理性。整体结构会比较散,理由之间不会有太多逻辑串联关系,整体就比较难写出深度。
马歇尔论文竞赛写作注意事项
Writing the essay
Your essay should be written in English with good grammar and structure.Try to structure your essay in an orderly way; you should build up your argument gradually, instead of asserting it in your first paragraph.The best essays will collect evidence over the course of the essay so that, when it comes to your conclusion,the outcome of your argument will seem inevitable.
Your essay should be properly referenced, citing all sources along the way.It is recommended to use the APA(Author, Year) style of
citation in the text.(For example,“The persistence of high unemployment rates is mainly associated with rigidities in the labour markets(Bertola and Rogerson,997).")
Please also provide a bibliography, where you list all your sources at the end of the essay.Don't worry too much about sticking to ond citation format for this; spend your time writing your essay instead (although look to the APA format as a guide for this). Just make sure all the information needed to verify your sources is in here
Before submitting your essay.do a word count.Words in your bibliography and in any data tables don't count towards the limit. but
everything else does, including footnotes. The limit is ooo words(we will check!).We put a word limit so you can focus on what the really important aspects of the question are.Because ofthe limit, you shouldn’t worry about providing a complete overview of the topic; rather, focus on getting a really good insight into the key aspects, with facts to back it up.
今年的马歇尔论文竞赛有点不同
我们来划一下上文的重点,今年马歇尔字数从往年的1500字减少到了1000字,也就意味着难度增加了!毕竟要在更少的文字中把事情说清楚,把各类论点浓缩说明不是一件容易的事情。特别是对于A-Level体系的小伙伴来说,写作的技能点没有那么均匀,如果想要顺利产出一篇有能力冲击奖项的论文,还需要一定的“外在辅助”,比如how to properly reference,而这些内容都会在我们的【Marshall论文竞赛课程】中进行重点教学,如果感兴趣,就点击这里预约试听吧——
