英语写作是衡量学生英语综合水平和应用能力的一个重要指标。对于高校学生而言,写作一直是令他们非常头痛的一件事情,尤其是让中国的学生用英语写作,即用第二语写作,那更是一项难以掌握的语言技能。当我们面对学生的英语书面表达时,那是一些水准较低,缺乏写作基本常识和训练的“作品”。所以,改变高校学生的英语写作能力低下的现状是一件刻不容缓的事情。 English writing is an important indicator to measure students’ comprehensive ability and ability of applying English. Writing has always been a headache for college students. In particular, it is even more difficult for Chinese students to write in English, that is to say in second language. When we confront students’ written English, they are some of the “works” that lack the basic knowledge and training in writing. Therefore, to change the status quo of college students’ poor English writing ability is an urgent matter.
