During the academic dialogue, teachers answered students' questions one by one. In terms of how to choose a topic, students should not only think of a good topic, but also tell a good story to attract the attention of the judges. Secondly, we should also analyze the preferences of the submission target, foreign preference on classics, domestic preference on novel issues, then we can submit. In addition, writing an essay was not easy, in which we often encountered difficulties. Students should first make a self-reflection, and found out whether it was an unfeasible topic or insufficient accumulation. If it was the issue of topic, students can pay more attention to the latest journal trend to expand ideas; If it was the lack of accumulation, we can read more cutting-edge literature, integrate theoretical learning with research problems, and continuously deepen theoretical learning in research.
