English writing of Chinese students is a communicative activity of cross-language and cross-culture, which is not only restricted by the language ability, but also by the social cultural factor. In terms of Chinese cultural interference and difference between English and Chinese modes of thinking, this paper intends to analyze typical mistakes in their English writing and in what ways these mistakes are made. It is hoped that enough importance will be attached to these mistakes with the view of improving their writing in English.
