Writing is a kind of creative thinking activities. The teaching of Three-paragraph Argumentative Writings,which is a weak part for English majors in TEM-4 as well as in TEM-8,is crucial in college English instruction. This paper reviews the application of Scaffolding Theory in writings,and proposes a series of training strategies of blank-filling writing,guided writing,controlled writing,and planning before writing. Through these series of training,students can reach the goal of a higher level of free writing and promote their abilities to write argumentative writings in English effectively.
