Abstract:
 Nowadays, Chinglish has almost been a general phenomenon in the process of learning English, and there is also considerable Chinglish in college students’ English writing. But in the daily life, Chinglish is accepted by a large number of people. In their opinion, the ultimate goal of communication is to express themselves in the best way and to make others understand them better. But in English writing or some other official occasions, Chinglish is still regarded as an informal language. This paper talks about Chinglish from the aspects of lexical using and sentence structure. However, there are a lot of reasons which bring about these phenomena, such as the language negative transfer and different thinking modes. In this paper, the author talks about Chinglish in college students’ English writing and analyzes the causes of it. In the last section, the author puts forward some suggestions to avoid Chinglish under the help of the teachers and even with great efforts made by the students themselves.

Key words: Chinglish, English writing, college student

1 Introduction
It is well known that Chinese and English are poles apart. However, when Chinese students who are lacking a “real” English environment learn English, they easily tend to ignore the differences between these two languages. This is particularly the case with writing. The Chinese students are familiar with their habit of writing in Chinese practice, so they often put it into practice in English writing. The result is the so-called Chinglish, a clumsy mixture in which ideas conceived in Chinese are unidiomatically or ungrammatically expressed in English writing. The primary cause of Chinglish is linguistic interference, but to get rid of the negative influence of one’s mother tongue, it remains of paramount importance for teachers of English Writing in China.
The role of our mother tongue in English learning has been a controversial issue. However, mother tongue influences can be easily traced in all aspects of second language learners’ inter-language. Foreign language teaching proceeds when the learners have already mastered their mother tongue. So in the second language teaching theory and practice, the influence of mother tongue is an unavoidable factor.
