中国人写文章喜欢先抑后扬，外国人却喜欢开门见山。听听外国老师和台湾学生怎么说。

主持人对话②"And you're from Taiwan. So now you've been at Indiana State University for a year and a half studying, and have you found it's been difficult getting used to American academic writing? Or were there many differences from academic writing in Taiwan?"

"My name's Pei-wen Juan, I'm from Indiana State University."
"It's one and a half year."
"Yes we do. That's a big problem for most of Taiwanese students or Asian students because when we are writing, when we are taught to write, we use the euphemistic way to deliver our opinions. We have the general ideas and we kind of tell people indirectly, and at the end we focus on what we want to say. But in America it's not like that. You have to show the most important part, the thesis statement first, then you give a lot of supporting ideas which make it clear and people know what you are going to say."
