ABSTRACT
Secondary school years can be an essential phase for students to learn about writing, and composition tests have also occupied a large proportion in the score of Chinese language examinations. However, there still exist many problems in the current composition teaching in secondary schools, such as non-specific teaching objectives, enclosed environment, serious preferences of poetic languages, lack of dynamic training system, as well as single-task-driven composition styles & structures. To solve these problems, this paper attempts to refer to some ideas and methods of creative writing education to conduct reflection on Chinese language education in secondary schools, so as to activate traditional writing education with innovative ideas and motivations. The degree of creative writing in American universities prevalent in their 1920s has now initiated its development in China. Since creative writing is connected with composition teaching in secondary schools, there are certain points worth mutual learning.

Based on the knowledge of creative writing in higher educational institutes, this paper puts forward solutions to some problems existing in composition teaching in secondary schools, and analyzes the inspirations it can bring
