Many students from The Center for Japanese Law of Nagoya University mention that the Vietnamese writing style and the Japanese writing style are different and they are confused. Lecturers should know their students' educational backgrounds before telling them about Japanese writing style. The purpose of this study is to investigate the text styles which Vietnamese students learned at school and the points that have significant value in terms of writing. It is found that Vietnamese students focus on analysis of the writing in novels and poems at school and that they are expected to memorize the general critical points which teachers describe in class.
