Due to personal limited effort this paper just focuses on the writing part. The author will use the target needs analysis of Hutchinson & Waters to serve as analysis base, and will take the characteristics of New Senior English for China Students’ Book 1 as the subjective analysis and the requirements of teaching syllabus as objective analysis. At last, the paper tries to present some personal opinions based on the results of evaluation.
