摘要：随着改革开放政策与全球一体化，我国与其他国家之间的交往越来越紧密。英语已发展为一门世界性语言，并成为我国对外交流的主要工具，英语的地位显得尤为重要。与此同时，学习英语已成为适应时代进程的要求。写作是对一门语言综合运用能力的体现，也是综合运用所学语言知识、语言技能等的过程，是检查所学的语言基础和表达能力的行之有效的方法。但是，由于受到中国文化和思维方式的双重影响，中国英语学习者在写英语作文时，表达的意思往往带有明显的汉语痕迹，不符合英语的语言习惯，这就是所谓的中式英语。尽管目前已有大量关于中式英语的研究，但是其中仍然存在着对中式英语定义不清和成因分析不明等问题。本文通过举例来呈现中式英语的特点，并且通过语言习惯和思维方式等方面来阐述中式英语产生的原因。在文章的最后，作者提供了几点建议来帮助英语学习者避免写作中的中式英语。
