The Most Common Habits from more than 200 English Papers
           written by Graduate Chinese Engineering Students

                          By Felicia Brittman

This paper presents some of the most common Chinese-English habits
observed from over two hundred English technical papers by Chinese
writers. The habits are
explained and in most cases, example text from an actual paper is given
along with
preferred text. An attempt is made to explain how to correct and prevent
such mistakes.
In some cases a possible explanation of why the habit occurs is also
given. This paper
can serve as an individual guide to editing technical papers especially
when a native English-speaking editor is unavailable.
