The purpose of this study was to analyse the nature of composition of high school students who have hardly been taught over the sentence level. In the analysis, essays of two groups with distinct English abilities were compared mainly in terms of holistic evaluation, composition length and cohesion use. The subjects are were first year students at a High School in Suwon, Kyungi-do, who were placed into two groups according to a trial examination of Korean Scholastic Aptitude Test. The research questions were as follows: (1) Does the upper group excel the lower in the score of a composition? (2) Does the upper group excel the lower in the number of T-units in a composition? (3) Does the upper group excel the lower in the density of cohesion in a composition?(4) Is there any difference in the nature of cohesion use in a composition between the two groups? (5) Is there any correlation between English ability, the composition score, the number of T-units and the density of cohesion in a composition? The findings of the study are as follows: (1) There is a slight correlation between underdeveloped English ability and the quality of the composition. (2) The quality of the composition is correlated with the number of T-units. (3) The quality of the composition is correlated with the density of cohesion. Based upon these findings, it is recommended that linguists and teachers develop more advanced and efficient methods in teaching English composition. Additionally, it is imperative that the schools hire English teachers who are capable of teaching English composition.
