Abstract
By analyzing compositions written by primary school pupils in the cities of Southeast China, the study intends to explore the development of component of "subjective reaction" used in the ending of a narrative text. The results reveal that nea r to 70% of the composition ends with a subjective reaction text. There are significant differences in the frequency levels among the three types of subjective reactions together, the frequencies and scores of subjective reaction are increasing as the gra de rising. But the characteristics of grade development do not exist in the frequencies of the feeling reaction and the level of multiple reaction. New teaching strategies to promote the ability of using subjective reaction should be adopted in Chinese la nguage teaching starting from grade 1 in primary schools.
