Abstract

The author conducts an empirical study of the ordinary English learning process of a college’s award-winning students in the National English Writing Contest in the past three years. She found that the vocabulary and grammar learning process of the subjects enjoys three characteristics: 1) a solid foundation in grammar; 2) a preference for graceful vocabulary learning; 3) preference for the use of adverbs and complex grammatical structures. The writing training process exhibits three characteristics: 1) a good thinking process model; 2) preference for the use of conjunctions; 3) enjoying a diverse discourse layout. These characteristics are positively correlated with the subject's vocabulary use, sentence and passage structure in English writing, and also explain the reason why the subjects achieved excellent scores in the writing contest.
