With more and more universities introducing English public speaking courses into their curriculum, a lot more discussion and research on the localization of these courses have occurred. Integrating Chinese traditional culture into public speaking courses is part of this effort and its benefits are multi-faceted. This paper elaborates on the significance of integrating Chinese traditional culture into English public speaking, the strategies of the integration, and the challenges and difficulties we face in the process.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the essential principles and requirements for writing a good academic paper. As an editor of the Journal of Aussie-Sino Studies, based on his own experience of writing, teaching, and editing academic papers, the author suggested that an academic paper is basically an argument that tries to persuade the reader of the correctness of a proposition; instead of thinking “research questions”, think “position statement”; instead of thinking “literature review”, think “logical argument” based on evidence-based premises to support the proposition; instead of “results”, think “strength of evidence” and instead of “discussion”, think “conclusion”.

College English teaching has long focused on Western culture with little importance attached to the integration of Chinese culture into class teaching. This paper reports an action research approach exploring an effective teaching model to integrate Chinese culture into college English teaching. By going through two cycles of action research, the combination of teacher’s well-organized in-class teaching with students’ after-class autonomous learning proved to be helpful in improving students’ comprehensive English application ability, cultivating students’ cross-cultural communication ability, and equipping students with the English language competence to spread and promote Chinese culture to the world.

While studying abroad is one of the suitable opportunities for foreign language (L2) learners to develop their proficiency in the target language, the mere experience of living in a foreign environment does not necessarily help students to become proficient L2 speakers. It has been argued that interaction with other people can enhance study abroad students’ personal growth and their proficiency with language skills and communicative competence. The present case study reports on attempts by a self-organized group of international postgraduate students (IPSs) at an Australian university to improve their communicative competence through informal interaction with native speakers. The IPSs formed a weekly peer circle with native speakers to discuss language difficulties and cultural issues they experienced in using the target language (i.e., English). Over time the peer circle grew to include social occasions. For this study, members of the peer circle participated in an interview exploring impacts of the peer circle on their grammatical, sociocultural, and strategic competence. Results from this small-scale study indicated that the participants had positive attitudes toward attending these self-organized circles. They found the program effective in helping them develop their personal skills and promoting their communicative competence at different levels.

Objective To observe and study the clinical effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy on diarrhea caused by NoVs in children. Methods From January 2019 to January 2020, a total of 60 children were diagnosed with NoVs infection in inpatient/outpatient departments of University of Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenzhen Hospital and were divided into observation group (Heat-sensitive Moxibustion Group) and control group (Basic Western Medicine Treatment Group) by random number table, with 30 cases in each group. Results The total effective rate of heat-sensitive heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy in children with NoVs diarrhea was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The antipyretic time of the observation group was (3.45±0.90) d, the normal time of stool routine examination was (2.52±0.92) d and the normal time of defecation was (2.15±1.24). Compared with the control group, P＜0.05. The serum INF-γ and il-2 in the observation group were significantly lower than those before treatment and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). The changes in the control group were not obvious and there was no statistical difference (P＞0.05). Conclusions Heat-sensitive moxibustion has played an important role in the treatment of NoVs diarrhea in children. It can effectively improve the defecation status of patients, regulate the serum INF-γ and IL-2 levels of patients, and provide a definite therapeutic scheme for the treatment of NoVs infection in children. It is worth popularizing in clinics.

Abstract: In this paper, through the determined of TN, TP, BOD5 , and CODcr in the Zhujia River artificial wetland entrance near the Qionghai lake, grit chamber, and export content, the purification effect of the Zhujia River artificial wetland water quality indexes was studied. The experiment results showed that the water quality in the wet season was the best, followed by the normal water period, and the dry season was the worst. The water quality in the dry season was severe eutrophication, water quality in the wet period and normal water period was basically between the rich nutrition and eutrophication. Water purification effect was presented in the wet period > normal water period > dry season. The water purification capacity showed that abundant water the TN purification rates were 3.89%, 25.68%, 41.35% , while TP were 21.92%, 28.13%, 50.17% , the BOD were 24.88%, 28.97%, 41.36% respectively, and the COD were 9.03%, 9.73%, 12.45%. The artificial wetland purification effect of COD was not obvious.

This paper reviews the development of Cognitive Science from disembodied cognition to embodied cognition. It suggests that from the 1960s, traditional psychological behaviorism was replaced by cognitivism. With the breakthrough of symbolism and computationalism, the first cognitive revolution came into being. Then, based on Piaget's cognitive structuralism, cognitive psychologist Bruner created social constructivism; from the perspective of educational psychology, he promoted the integration of science and humanities, opened a new path of cultural psychology, and set off the second upsurge of the cognitive revolution. From the 1980s, cognitive science integrated the connectivism trend of neuroscience achievements and relied on the great help of the emerging artificial intelligence discipline, which triggered the ideological trend of embodied cognition and showed a deeper and broader prospect of human intelligence research in the field of cognitive science.

National governments and employers have argued that it is important for all sectors of education to prepare individuals who are able to think well and for themselves. ‘Good thinking’ and ‘thinking well’ are commonly used terms bound up with what is called ‘critical thinking’ in the research literature. Evidence is presented in this paper, however, which suggests that not all students may be good at critical thinking; nor do some teachers appear to teach students ‘good thinking’ skills. A review of the research literature in this area was undertaken and the methods and conceptions of teaching likely to inhibit and enhance critical thinking are outlined, as well as what is required to improve students’ thinking skills. Ways forward in teaching critical thinking, and in helping students to learn to think well and for themselves, are described and discussed.

This paper reports a study on the application of Nightingale’s dressing culture to the exhibition space design. The study noticed that the change of professional dressing of nurses was influenced by the cultural background of different times and spaces, which reflect the development and civilization of nursing and the inheritance, responsibility, and innovation of nursing. The paper argues that combining Nightingale's dressing culture with contemporary exhibition space design may promote contemporary exhibition and cultural connotation, which may improve people's cognition and understanding of nursing history and culture, promote the return of nursing culture and Nightingale spirit, and encourage the rapid spread of the nursing clothing culture.
