Abstract

English writing is a tough course for post-graduate students in science universities. Traditionally the students are instructed and trained in order to pass a national examination, CET-6. Most students just recite writing models of argumentative, enjoying no right to do creative writing. But an investigation has shown that students are eager to write something creative, critical and interesting. Based on the investigation, I began the classroom teaching of argumentative writing followed by appreciation of English speech. During the teaching, problems arose and an action study was carried on to find out the reasons and solutions. Finally the conclusion has been reached that writing task with interaction and appropriate difficult can help motivate students. Students are more likely to write more creative in a relaxing and intensive class.
