Academic writings, whether they are BA dissertations or semester papers, are important carriers of one’s ideas and findings of their own study and research spheres. In academic papers, the most important part is the choice of topics which determines the macro direction of the paper. Important as it is, it is difficult for the English majors to choose the most appropriate topics with idea-invested thesis statements instead of some factual statements. Therefore, in order to make clear of the status quo and underlying obstacles of topic choosing, this paper is to study on 98 samples from China University of Political Science and Law’s junior English majors. By observing and analyzing their writings, the paper intends to find out some possible and accessible methods to improve English majors’ academic writing and offer some insights for teachers to make some adjustments in accordance with the status quo.
