Dear tdol,
I'll change the title as you suggested.
Could you please kindly tell me if I do need a subtitle, could you please tell me which is the correct way to write it ( I think there is the third choice)?
1. What novels do readers like
---- On the styles of writing
2. What novels do readers like?
-----On the styles of writing
3. What novels do readers like---- On the styles of writing
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
Jiang
It is a question, so 2 would be better.
I see. Many thanks!
Jiang

The following is the title of a paper published in a journal:
How to improve the present situation of English language teaching in China
My question is why there isn't a question mark? Is it because it begins with "how to.."
Looking forward to hearing form you.
Thank you in advance.

I could give this answer to your question,dear! .
This is an indirect question.The "how' does not serve as a question word but the whole sentence -which,by the way ,is a secondary interrogative one-is depended on a basic sentence which is probably implied.This might be "Let's find ways how to..."or "Teachers wonder how to...".
