Abstract

The differences in thinking patterns between English and Chinese have been found to have a significant impact on Chinese students' English writing, whereas there are few analyses of thinking differences specific to the English writing of junior and senior high school students. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and investigate how some of the variations between English and Chinese thinking patterns act on the English writing of Chinese students aged 12–18. In this thesis, the main method of research is literature study. By collecting, identifying, and collating existing literature for comparative analysis, problems and reasons that emerge for this particular aspect of English writing among younger students are presented. For these students between 12 to 18 years, who are still in a state of further awareness of their mother tongue, differences in interlingual modes of thinking pose a barrier to English writing in terms of both writing content and structure. To improve students' writing skills, instructors must lead students to identify the differences. Meanwhile, it is crucial to apply appropriate solutions in their teaching.
