Abstract
In Hong Kong most primary school pupils start composing a full essay during their third grade, while first and second graders only write sentences and paragraphs. In 1995 one primary school introduced a new element into its writing curriculum. It allows its first and second graders to compose full essays, while keeping the traditional sentences and paragraphs training models. The old and new writing models take up half of the time allocated for the writing lessons each. This paper aims at analysing the differences of the language used by the lower primary forms pupils with regards to these two writing models.
