Abstract The ability of writing in English is one of the requirements to English learners and it embodies the ability to communicate in English. English learners increasingly realize its importance. Each race has its own culture; each language has its own special language rules. Chinese and English have differences in culture and rules. They respectively belong to two different language branches and different social and cultural backgrounds. English learners will be affected by the differences between Chinese and English modes of thinking. Selection of words, construction of sentences, structure of article and style of language are four important aspects in English writing. They often write with Chinese modes of thinking. As a result, the writing may be right in English grammar, but wrong in English rules. So Chinese influence in the process of studying English is great and complicated.

I. Introduction
English is a foreign language for Chinese learners. When learning it, learners could meet many difficulties. Writing is an important part of English learning, and it is difficult to improve. Many people are good at speaking, reading and listening, but they are not good at writing. English learners increasingly want to improve their writing well, but the result is still not satisfying. Some learners even do not know the reasons. Others think the reasons are the differences between Chinese and English on culture; some learners think it is because their ability of Chinese writing is poor. There are many reasons for this. One of reason is the influence of the differences between Chinese and English modes of thinking. Language is one of the expression tools of thinking, and of course it is safe to say that ways of thinking influence writing greatly. This is a problem that cannot be avoided in English learning. Additional, At present, there exists a phenomenon that college students' English writing is Chinese style English. Although they write in English, the word choice, the sentence pattern and the entire layout is Chinese composition. That is to say, for many Chinese students, especially non-English majors, English writing is an unhappy task. Although they have already got a certain degree of language ability and basic grammatical knowledge, their English writing still lack English taste. Sometimes students get good ideas, but when they tend to convert them into words, their expression will make others confused. For these reasons, the real problem is that the students are used to thinking in Chinese mode in the writing process. People’s thinking activity is expressed by the forms, words, phrases, sentences and sentence groups, language is the main carrier and expressing form of thinking. Thus the point is not only to master pronunciation, grammar and word, but also understand the thinking mode of the nation. 中英思维差异对英语写作的影响及其应对策略:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_11062.html
