English writing belongs to the four skills of English listening, speaking, reading and writing. In English teaching of middle school, writing ranks after the three language skills, namely, listening, speaking, and reading. Therefore, English writing has always been a weak link of English teaching. In fact, writing ability is a reflection of learners’comprehensive ability in language use, so English writing is becoming more and more significant.Errors in the English writing have always been an important aspect in the study of errors. From the analysis of the related documents that are collected, domestic empirical research about the writing errors is concerned with college students of English majors, non-English major and senior English learners and regards them as the research objects. However, seldom is concerned with primary English learners, such as junior high school students. As for the study concerned with English writing errors of junior middle school students, their research angle of view is from mistakes of composition of the junior middle school students in one grade, then they do research of statistics, classification, etc. This thesis attempts to compare and classify various errors in English composition of junior middle school and makes longitudinal comparison of mistakes made by the nominals of their English composition.
