In recent years, English writing has gradually become a difficult problem for Chinese college students. In order to study the relationship between language transfer and college students' English writing level, and to explore more effective and convenient solutions, the authors adopted the method of questionnaire survey to analyze the difficulties of college students' English writing from the lexical, syntactic and discourse levels. After statistical analysis of questionnaire data, it is found that mother tongue (MT) has a strong negative transfer effect on students' English composition. On the basis of language transfer theory, error analysis theory and contrastive analysis theory, the data can draw a conclusion that language differences, MT orientation and teaching methods are the main causes for the great influence of negative MT transfer on English writing. It is worth mentioning that improving reading amount, increasing courses related to language differences and perfecting writing methods can solve these problems to a certain extent.
