“Only in a complicated and close grammar structure can complicated and meticulous thinking develop. Helping he students to master the grammar rules, especially the highly tightly grammar structure, is the effective method leading the students think complicated and close. ” [23] Chinese grammar structure is very different from the English. In ancient Chinese, there is not grammar or logic in human’s conception. After learning the English, Chinese people developed their own grammar and further developed their logic, which is a part of thought. Chinese people have studied the foreign language for a long time, so Chinese logic and thinking，in very great degree, influenced by the different language and expressions. Once in contact with the very different language and want to understand or comprehend it, people inevitably must change their original thinking ways and try to think in the new pattern, gradually, in their minds they have two different thinking ways, maybe one is stronger than the other. It depends on the learners.
The structures of Chinese and English discourses are also different:
Structures of Chinese and English Discourse: [24] P48
"Kaplan drew attention to the indirect approach of some Chinese and Korean writing, saying：
In this kind of writing, the development of the paragraph may be said to be turning and turning in a widening gyre..., such a development in a modern English paragraph would strike the English reader as awkward and unnecessarily indirect(1966)". [25]
When speaking or writing, Chinese people would like to diverge their thoughts and then bring them back to the very starting point. They are accustomed to beating about the bush when they are talking, and hide the key point until the last moment, which is called a pattern of climaxing. The repetition of a certain discourse structure of some words is widespread in the cyclical discourse structure as a Chinese rhetorical device. In ancient Chinese language, the application of repetition is very common can be seen. The repetition of a certain word, a sentence, a syllable, a rhyme scheme, or even a structure all corresponds with Chinese circular pattern of thought. In the parallel structure of Chinese discourse, several clauses with the same number of words, similar structures, identical interjections, and similar rhyme schemes are used and similar meanings are expressed. In this way, the mood is increasingly enforced.
The Chinese discourse structure is fairly perplexing for Western people, for they are used to presenting the topic at a foremost place so as to arouse the attention of the listeners or readers, which is kind of anticlimactic discourse organization. The structure of Western discourse is: the topic sentence is the staring point of the article followed by the specification of facts, and a conclusion in the end. This is a typical structure mirroring pattern of thought.
