Development of Writing Ability in English

The Guiding principle for junior English teaching points out:“The aim of junior English teaching is to give the students basic training on how to listen， speak， read and write， to cultivate the students’ primary ability of using English.”Therefore， writing in English is one of the most important contents and requirements of junior English teaching. Since 1998， the junior students have been required to demonstrate their writing ability by writing an 80-word passage， which should be very accurate， coherent， and fluent. So“the middle school teachers must encourage the students to learn to make simple sentences with the vocabulary， grammar， sentence patterns and to write simple passages， letters， e-mails， notes， notices after the styles and models which have been learned.”English， as a most useful language and a most widely used communication mean， is very important. The students must acquire the ability of speaking and writing and their all-round should be developed.　So I write thesis to discuss and make a research on how to develop and improve the junior students’ writing ability in English.
