Analysis of the Current Situation and Strategies in English Writing for Junior School Students
I. Introduction
With the rapid development of modern science and technology, English as an international way of communication is more and more important. English writing has been playing a key role in various large-scale examinations, such as college entrance examination, CET-4 and 6, and IELTS, etc. It requires learners to apply vocabulary, grammars and background knowledge comprehensively. So the student who makes a good score in an English examination may behave poorly in writing. Relevant research shows that, in China today, English has already become the most important foreign language since 1978 (Chen 16). Meanwhile, writing has been regarded as a main course for middle school students in China. Many experts have done a lot of researches on the theory and practice of English writing on different levels. These studies which focus on the analysis of writing errors become important and necessary. But it is proved that students’ English writing skills have not significantly improved. Nowadays, the writing ability of the students is weak and the students cannot express themselves correctly and freely, which has become one of the most difficult problems facing in English writing.
