Abstract: Contrary to Kaplan's contrastive rhetoric, some scholars tend to go to the other extreme—blur or mitigate the difference between English and Chinese writings. However, denying or neglecting the difference is not comparative rhetoric. To make clear the problem will help teachers make policies and take appropriate teaching strategies. This lecture attempts to display some evidence and statistics about the rhetorical mode specific to Chinese paragraphs. The investigation includes two parts—Chinese textbooks and Chinese model essays. The research results show that the Chinese textbooks bear no systematic theory or instruction on Chinese paragraph writing and even no concept of topic sentence. Moreover, the paragraphs without topic sentences dominate in number in the model essays; coordination instead of hierarchical relations constitutes most of the expository paragraphs.
