English writing training is a systematic project, which runs through the whole teaching process. The adoption of the task-based approach in teaching writing should fully embody the "student-centered" teaching philosophy, and take into account its unique features of writing teaching. The application of TBLT to writing teaching can not only greatly improve students English writing skills, but also further improve the overall quality of English teaching in high schools.
