 Survey Existing Literature and Rethink Your Topic
The key word(s) you have indicated above should serve as guides
to search for literature on the subject. You may use the catalogue
system of a library by subjects to locate useful titles. Or
ask your advisor or the instructors of courses you have taken
for recommendations. Sometimes the internet also is a place
where useful information on the subject can be collected. You
may find the following websites helpful to you:

http://www.tongtu.net/cgi-bin/index.dll?index9?userid=tscn
http://www.chinatranslate.net/asp/index.asp
Up to this point in doing research, it is likely that you
still do not know what to do with the topic. That is where
further reading is in order. You need to read more on the
subject that you have tentatively chosen and rethink your
topic. But you do not have to go into the details of the discussion
yet. Just read the relevant materials quickly for inspirations
about how to break through the topic, i.e. how you can bring
it down to one or two specific aspects. Rethink your topic
and see how you can improve it.
