英语专业学生写作中的问题分析及对策An Analysis on the Problems in English Majors Writing and CountermeasuresAbstract: Writing is of great importance in our life, especially for the English majors. If the basic requirement of writing is to write with few mistakes in grammar and words, the higher one will be not just to express the main ideas, but to make it vivid, interesting, effective and authentic. Variety is essential to good writing, and the variety of expressing mainly refers to the variety of words and sentences, and using the figures of speech. A series of sentences of the same structure and length, beginning with the same noun or pronoun as the subject, would sound monotonous. Absolutely, to achieve the variety is an important requirement for a good writing. So, we should pay attention to the variety of vocabulary, sentences and figures of speech. This research paper mainly analyzes English majors existing problems in writing. Then the author gives some constructive suggestions based on the language teaching theories of how to improve the writing quality.Key words: Writing；vocabulary；sentence structure；figures of speech摘要：写作是我们生活当中非常重要的一部分，尤其对于英语专业学生更为重要。如果说写作的初级阶段还只是要求语法结构没有错误，用词基本正确，而写作的更高要求则不只是看你能否表达思想，而是要看你能否表达得更生动、耐读、有效、地道。 多样性对于一篇好的作文非常重要，而多样性的表达主要侧重于词汇的多样性，句子的多样性，以及修辞的多样性。该论文针对石河子大学英语专业学生写作中常见的问题进行分析、研究，在教学理论的指导下，针对英语写作中的问题提出一些建议。 关键词：写作；词汇；句子结构；修辞ContentsI.

IntroductionWe write everyday. We write for various reasons and in different ways. So, writing is of great importance in our life, especially for the English majors. If the basic requirement of writing is to write with few mistakes in grammar and words, the higher one will be not just to express the main ideas, but to make it vivid, interesting, effective and authentic (Cai Jigang 179).A. Reasons for choosing the topicThere are two reasons why I choose this topic. Firstly, the writing course has not been paid enough attention to. Although the course plays an important role in our daily life and has become a part of our examination, it has been thought little of. Secondly, English major students have reached some level on writing, and there are few mistakes in grammar and words in their writings, but their writings lack variety in words, sentences and figures of speech.B. Significance of the researchFor the English majors, the English writing is very important, and the English majors should pay more attention to it. So, the reasons for choosing this topic are as follows:Firstly, through researching the English majors writings, analyzing the problems, and giving the countermeasures, I hope that students will benefit from this research. Secondly, researching this topic will promote my English teaching ability, and it is of great value for my English teaching career. This insight will significantly influence my future language learning and teaching practice.II. Literature ReviewA. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)CLT requires a higher level of communicative competence on the part of the teacher. It also requires that the teacher develop a wider range of skills beyond the presentation and explanation of grammatical structures (Wang Qiang 21). The strong version of CLT claims that Language is acquired through communication.

Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT)TBLT is, in fact, a further development of Communicative Language Teaching. It shares the same beliefs that language should be learned as close as possible to how it is used in real life (Wang Qiang 26). C. Categories of the researchIn the language teaching field, research, according to David Nunan (1992), is a process of inquiry, which consists of developing questions, problems or
