Abstract:English writing, as a very important aspect of students’ general language competence and as a means of spreading knowledge and information, is necessary and essential for students who learn English. However, it is true that writing, as one of the basic skills of language learning, still seems inferior to the skills of listening, speaking, reading and translating. Students often make errors, especially vocabulary errors in their writing. Thus, in the paper, though testing, the researcher uses Error Analysis Theory to analyze the common vocabulary errors in the second year students’ English writing in Yong Sheng No.4 Senior High School, and explains the reasons. At last, the paper also gives some suggestions about how to avoid these vocabulary errors.
Key Words: English writing; vocabulary errors; error analysis
