- Abstract
Thinking mode is the deep mechanism of language generation and development, and the difference between Chinese and Western ways of thinking is an important factor that causes language differences. This difference is also reflected in the sentence structure of English writing. Based on the difference between Chinese and Western thinking modes, this paper analyzes its influence on sentence structure in the process of students’ second language writing, and puts forward countermeasures in this regard, in order to help students eliminate the interference of negative transfer of Chinese thinking in the future English writing teaching process., so as to write authentic English composition.
