文摘This paper analyses the experiment carried out by Peter S. Green and Karlheinz Hecht about criteria towards error-analysis in writing. In order to define what a good writing is, it further investigates the relation between accuracy and communicative effectiveness by examining the difference between Chinese teachers and English teachers' rating two university students' written works to find out the EFL learners' dilemma. By comparing the evaluation in written works from both non-native teachers and native teachers, it emphasizes the importance of composition teachers' role in providing feedback to their students, and proper suggestions have been given out to solve the problems of motivation in EFL learners.
