HOW TO WRITE BETTER IN ENGLISH(basics) | What are the skills of English writing? | How to improve writing skills in English 2024 - Author Is2023

Skilled in a language means both communication and writing skills.

One need to learn to help convey one’s idea(writing and speaking).Way of learning a language is before experienced in our native language as we (speak, read, write) and then convey what we learned with precision once we master it. Once we learn to read and speak, it is important to master the writing skills as well. Though many find writing easier than speaking(I’m not speaking of introverts),but there are people who finds it difficult to write than speaking is lot easier for them.

Writing is not new to us, as we keep on writing the language from the day we knew it like notes taking in class, social media post, text to friends, letter writing, application filling etc.

It is inherent for a learner to think that one is less capable in particular skill one needs to learn. But it is not true. We already write. As anyone who reads the language, can write. Its just we place an extra effort to play through the writing skill. Our reading and speaking a language comes handy in learning to write.

 A little practice day by day can make our writing ability on par with speaking or vice versa.

 RULES IN LEARNING WRITING ABILITY:

 1.Write a lot: Read a lot

Writing begins with translating the idea in mind and follow the train of thoughts produced in language.

To learn a skill, practicing it long hours is the only way. We speak, read, so write and improve. Take an interesting topic, have rough writing, then proofread and improve.

 It’s not enough to speak and read better, one should be able to write the thoughts as much fluently as we speak.

Just as we say that listening is closely related to speaking, reading is closely related to writing. If you need to write a resume or intro of yourself, a great idea is to read some other resume from the internet or whatever source you have access to. After having read others, then you can attempt to write your own. Without a guide, don’t start to write. Checking quality right from beginning saves time and process.

 2.Favourite dictionary:

To write, you need a vast vocabulary. Not all are dictionary lovers. Have your preferred dictionary like take into account the following as words with synonym, antonym, spelling, native language translator, grammar usage, words used in sentence, pronunciation, similar meaning words.

You’ll be able to look up words to clarify words so as not to repeat words or phrases, which will better your skills.

 3.Basics of writing:

Words form basic structure of sentence, and sentence makes a paragraph, mindmap of para makes an article. Learn the form. Do not trail off.

Words we start to learn form reading and dictionary, but sentences can be basic or long structured as we learn.

Grammar is more important when you write than when you speak because it is usually more formal and more structured.

 Spelling, learn with dictionary.

Read different texts to learn different kind of English. We don’t write an essay and novel or social media post the same way.

Read newspaper, which gives differs by topic range and vocabs to collect and familiarize to write them. Prefer active voice to passive in writing. Like “I left the book open” and not “The book was left open by me”. Writing is skill, not story telling.

 Go jogging in flow of conveying the text, do not overexplain a theme. Vocab as beginners will be mind-friendly, slowly improve them to be reader- friendly.

 4.Outline mindmap:

Know what to and how to write first.

Audience based writing can engage and attract readers.

Learn to mindmap what to reproduce and then start to collect vocabs topic related to write on.

Without outline, readers are prone to lose interest and not understanding the text is waste of time. A good writing flows like a wave of thoughts well connected to brush the shore gently.

 5.Speak mind, not write mind:

Writing should help readers, read the writers mind.

Speaker can speak his mind out, same way in writing is less preferred.

Speech words like To start,very, really, quite, good,originally got, stuff,things,basically,to end,thus far etc.,

writing the fact in these words don’t communicate strongly and without them, your text will mean the same and read far better.

 6.Proofread:

Regardless of the method you choose, proofreading is a critical part of the writing process and should never be overlooked.

If you attempt to identify and correct all errors within one reading, you risk losing focus and may miss major mistakes.

One technique that the majority of professional proofreaders use is to read the writing they are proofreading out loud.

Keep note of proofread of effective errors to be corrected.

 7.Learn to type:

Writing in typing can be quite different than pen.

 8.Write a journal: Journal can be two,

-Your day

-Your writing progress

Write & Improve helps,when practising writing particular types of documents. You will be able to see progress and how learning has changed.

9.Practice daily:

Skill practiced daily for few months can see changes. Everyday changes in learning piled up shows up as good work improvisation.
