Different Thought Patterns and Chinese College English Writing
People are used to attributing the less-proficient Chinese College English writing to students inaccuracy of diction, spelling, and grammar, while paying little attention to the impact of different thought patterns beneath their words.This paper holds that different thought pattern is one of the striking factors which influence Chinese College English writing.The paper analyses the cultural roots of the different thought patterns, ranging from the impacts of the different word system, philosophical attitudes to Baguwen, the Chinese writing genre in feudal society, and the west theology.As a result, the westerners tend to think in a way of logic, analysis and dichotomy while Chinese in a way of intuition, synthesis and unity, which causes the writing redundant and spiraling in terms of structure, style and cohesion.In the end, the author appeals for the Chinese College English teachers to cultivate a keen awareness of the different thought patterns among different writers.Only by bewaring of different thought patterns can we further improve Chinese College English writing ability.
