This study aims to analyze English abstracts on international journal papers in the language teaching field. An abstract is the miniature of an essay. The abstract is important, but many non-native speakers don't know how to write a good English abstract. Therefore, we analyze 30 abstracts on journals that we collected. First, we translated the texts into Chinese to understand them. Next, we calculate the sentences and the words respectively there are in each abstract. Then, we study the coherence and the cohesion of 3 abstracts randomly selected from 30 abstracts. It is found that the number of sentences in each abstract which we collected is from 4 to 11, and the number of words from 102 to 310. In addition, the simple present tense is the most commonly used. The most frequently used voice is the active voice. In the end, we explain the limitations of this study and present some recommendations for beginners who are going to write English abstracts for the first time. |
