A Review of the differences in Written Expressions between English and Chinese from the Perspective of Contrastive Analysis

Abstract

Written expression plays an important role in students\u27 English learning and has always been a weak part in English teaching. In daily learning, the differences between mother tongue and second language inevitably have an impact on students\u27 writing. This paper aims to use contrastive analysis to explore the differences in lexical, syntactic, and discourse levels between English and Chinese writing, and proposes relevant teaching suggestions based on these, so as to improve students\u27 English writing level and teachers\u27 writing teaching level
