1. Introduction

English writing as a kind of language expression is the integrated embodiment of writers’ thought patterns. Thoughts output relies on language. But different nations are different in their culture, economy, politics, history, religion, law, language, and region, etc. As a result, every ethnic group has its own unique thought pattern and it is reflected obviously in its language. In this case, by comparing and analyzing topic sentence, the uses of conjunctions and grammar in students’ writing, this paper intends to find out the influence of English thought on the change of students’ language production and to give some tryout suggestions on how to improve students’ abilities for language output and strengthen students' sensitivity to the difference of thought patterns in order to help them write perfectly in English.

2. The Previous Studies on the Discrepancies of the Oriental and Occidental Thought Patterns

Many experts studied the oriental and occidental thought patterns from different aspects. Robert B.Kaplan hold the view that occidental thought patterns are linear while oriental thought patterns are spiral. Westerners’ thought patterns are linear so they are used to speak and write articles in a straight way. The Chinese way of thinking is curve and they are used to say much before presenting their viewpoints(Kaplan 1996:1-20).
