Chapter one Introduction
1.1 The back ground of the study
As one of the out-put language skills, writing plays an increasing important role in senior high school’s teaching and learning process. Ding Wangdao (1997) claimed that for English learners, writing is an inseparable part in the process of English learning and the importance of English writing is self-evident. Wang Chuming (2017) said that by writing, the students’ English can be improved. In 2017, Ministry of Education published The New English curriculum standards, this official document reinforces the requirements about writing skills of high school students and divide the writing skills into different levels. The requirements for the students who w ill take part in the national matriculat ion English test are as following: First of all,the students canwrite coherent and fully structured short compositions. The students can narrate a thing or express their point of view properly. Second, the students can write a brief abstract based on what they have read in the textbook. Thirdly, the students can use common genres/ text types to complete ordinary writing tasks and have nascent ability to write in a literary way. Lastly, the students can write essays an d reports according to the information provided by words and diagrams. To sum up, all of these requirements listed aboveplace great demands on high middle school students’ writing skills. On the contrary, there is no denying that even though the writing oc cupies a large part of scores in the college entrance examinat ion, it is by no means a victory to improve writing quality in a short period of time, so both the teachers and students feel worried and confused about it. In many ordinary high schools, because many students are poor in English, most of the students feel that it is rather difficulty for them to express their ideas and thoughts by using proper words and expressions in English. In this case, the students have to link individual English words and expressions together by using Chinese sentence structures to complete the writing tasks which were assigned by the teacher or when they have to finish the composition writing in the fixed time.
