The chapter discusses opinions about grammar as a prescriptive diction in academic writing. It also argues that the problem of personal pronouns can be used to analyze the language used by post-graduate students in low-resource setting and others whether in speech or writing, in non-literally discourse or literature. The chapter analyzes four maxims of good writing: Make your language easy to follow; be clear; be economical; and be effective. To successfully create knowledge, especially at postgraduate level, authors must communicate concisely to present their sense.

Based on the articles written by mainland Chinese scholars published in the most influential Chinese and international journals, the present article analyzed the language testing research, compared the tendencies of seven categories between 2000-2009 and 2010-2019, and put forward future research directions by referring to international hot topics. Of all the seven categories of research topics, validity, performance test and China’s Standards of English Language Ability were three most popular themes, while classroom assessment, technology, rater/test taker differences and professionalization were much less popular.

Referring to international research trends, the research predicted that validity, classroom assessment, China’s Standards of English Language Ability and professionalization, especially the ethics and social justice, might be the promising research topics for language testers.
