In recent years, it has been so difficult for us to improve the average scores in English writing that in the College Entrance Examination the high school students' writing scores lie in lower level year by year, all of which shows much to us that high school students'written English and their ability to apply knowledge points of English they have learned into writing, later on, remains to be improved further more. Meanwhile, there has been a new challenge for teachers working at English teaching as a second foreign language to do more researches in their regular teaching. This thesis is supposed to analyze mistakes in grammar and structure of thinking that the high school students have made in the process of English writing in compatible with my 3 years English teaching so as to find out the problems and causes. And then I make some appropriate experiments to identify all I have discussed above and make every effort to solve it. In the thesis, under the circumstance of task-based teaching, I attempt to work out the better ways that high school students learn English as a second foreign language, and to cultivate their capability to English writing. In the hope of improving their proficiency in English writing, I attempt to combine of the spirit of traditional grammar teaching and thinking mode in English through my English writing class.From this research, proper errors corrective feedback can principally lead students to express their ideas much more correctly and appropriately in their English writing, while the guidance of English thinking models with codes makes their thought closer to the native writers, improving their own proficiency in English writing. The two mentioned here influence each other and consist of the main factor of English writing teaching. Therefore, the conclusion have been drawn that either corrective feedback or thinking models guidance doesn't bring improvement of high school students'English writing expertise or proficiency in relative long-term. Only by combining the two organically can we achieve this goal.In the meantime, I hope that high school students can translate what they have learned in reading part into their writing and understand the thinking models lying behind those texts they are reading to achieve the organic combination of grammar and thinking models improving their own English writing proficiency in future.
