It is said that we can develop our idea by writing alone, but is it true? As a practical suggestion, we are recommended to learn to write by following the example of a model paragraph, but does it always work? In order to become a better writer in English, we are recommended to follow certain patterns of English rhetoric, but is it always necessary? With these questions in mind, we started reading articles on writing, focusing our attention on proficiency, content and styles. Readings and discussions led us to this conclusion: 1) writing develops through one's interaction with others; 2) writing models can be useful only when they help student writers recognize "events" as their subjects and express those experiences as their own; and 3) writing styles have nothing to do with any external factor, and strange as they sometimes seem, individual styles should be accepted and developed as they are. To see whether this conclusion is true, we will conduct further research to make a more comprehensive review of writing by observing many writing activities in actual classrooms. A special program carried out in a high school is reported on as a sample of such an activity.
