As I said earlier, a language has four components – Reading, listening, speaking and
writing. Each of these components is complementary to each other. Once you know how
to listen, read and speak English, it is time to finish the process by writing properly.
Writing is probably the easiest to do; however one can make mistakes in spellings.
Also, a person thinks and writes at different speeds and that could unintentionally ruin
the sentence. Still, writing is not all that easy. Problems arise when it comes to
punctuation marks.
Write, write, write!
Just like reading and expanding your vocabulary, writing properly involves a lot of
practice. Pick a topic, and start writing. Do this exercise everyday. Make a portfolio of
all your pieces and review them in a month and look for mistakes that you made. Once
you are done, ask a friend to edit it for you.
Learn the correct version
Once you have figured out your mistakes, make it a point to learn the correct version.
Incorporate the corrected version in your next piece ofwriting exercise.
Avoid using a guide
While you are practicing your writing skills, do not use a guide or dictionary. Make
mistakes and then learn from those mistakes. If you do not make mistakes you will never
learn. Once you know the mistakes you made, start writing again and try correcting those
same mistakes.
Use new words and phrases
Make it a point to use at least two new words and phrases, as well as idioms, slang and
colloquialisms in your article. Make sure you ask somebody to correct these if they are
wrong.
Punctuation
The punctuation marks you use at the end of each sentence will set the tone of that
particular sentence. Whether it is an exclamation (!) or a question (?) depends on how
you frame your sentence.
