The article presents the idiosyncrasies of the frequency of syntactic structures used by secondary school students (aged 13-15). It is drawn on the basis of research carried out in a secondary school in Kalisz. A total of 4,021 syntactic structures from 276 compositions written by students from two classes were analysed in order to present phenomena typical of the ultimate syntactic structures. The data was collected for two school years (2011/2012 and 2012/2013) and indicates the most frequently and generally used syntactic structures as well as the less popular and more specific ones. In addition, a comparison of the results and transposing them to a timeframe makes it possible to present the evolution in the syntax of compositions written by secondary school students. An analysis of the material has also led to specifying the types of syntactic errors and their frequency.

This article is a report based on a qualitative study on the skills needed for junior high school students to produce written compositions in the context of creating a short message. This kind of research has been made necessary by the implementation of an obligatory exam for junior high school graduates, including a writing part in which there are some requirements to be met in order to obtain a positive grade. Although the recent educational reforms mean that junior high schools will no longer exist, this research is useful in the diagnosis of the writing skills of Polish teenagers that will be going into high school. The results have shown that the students had no major problems with such requirements as text organization, punctuation rules and with keeping to the word limit for a given written composition. On the other hand, however, the students showed the need for improvement in formal aspects of the written English language such as grammar, vocabulary (accuracy and spelling) and transition signals. Additionally, the meeting of requirements (mentioning and developing three elements) should be practiced more. For the purpose of the study, an analysis sheet has been implemented but no hypotheses have been put forth. The research group included 33 written compositions.
