Based on 3-dimension model of critical thinking and the related researches on foreign language writing, this paper evaluates college students’ critical thinking skills in English writing by doing researches on a group of English writing samples. The result shows that the existence of traditional ideas has its rationality which is particularly prominent in questions, points of view and inferences. While clear definition of keywords, precise, in-depth, and accurate information and verified assumptions are rarely satisfactory. In view of this result, suggestions on curriculum reform and teaching method improvement may practically affect the present situation.
