Writing best represents students＇ integrated competence in English. However, the teaching of English writing in Chinese colleges, for a long time, has not received its due attention. And the teaching method is inadequate. These deprive students of their writing motivations and decent writing ability. As a result, there is an urgent need for English teachers to analyze the problems in the instruction of college English writing and put forward a set of practical and effective strategies so as to help students realize a major breakthrough in their writing capacity.
