Hi Yarlini,

Thank for your post. You might be interested in reading this: grammer vs. grammar.

In addition, I recommend you read and listen to this: Grammar (Is it really 40 years ago since man first landed on the moon?)

Best regards,

Hello ESL Teachers,
:D Good Morning to all of you.

Please help me by telling me how I can improve my writing skills. Many a time, I felt I could not impress my teachers from my writing skills.My teachers are of the view, though I write grammatically correct but I use simple sentences. Please help me.

Thanks a million.

The sort of support and cooperation I have been getting here for last a few days truly I have not got it yet at any site. I am highly obliged to your team.

Week ago I was asked by my teacher to presented an essay before 5 pm yesterday afternoon, but i wasn't ready for it. Honestly I always tried to be punctual and do what people asked me to do, specially if it is come for an academic things, but, I don't know how? this task just flied out of my head... I knew that I'm going to be penalized for being not serious and this might affected my grade..but there wasn't any other option for me to do, I was supposed to presented the essay and that's was it!! My lesson usually begun at 2 pm, and there was no enough time for me to finished it, I know it sounds stupid and I should have asked my teacher to give me more time, but I didn't. I desisted to horrid and I made a lot of mistakes as I horrid. When I presented it, my teacher wasn't happy with it, and she warned me, that, if next time I will do the same thing it going to affects my grades.

Next time, I'll try to be more serious!!

Many people said practice made prefect.I find very difficult.I have been keep try to writing skills for join to creative write class, doing practice exercises. However, I find it a little help but not majoy. I keep made same mistake, although I anxiuosly want chagne but it didn't happened.Sadly.

I believe if you could find someone guidence you and provide assist support for how you can amend your write or correct your write would actual help to improve your writing skills.but, how? where you can find people willing to help you read your confusing work without charge your to pay?

[Hello :)]

I want to improve my writing skill as well, but when I try to write something in English I often get stuck by some of words, I don't know which the right words to express what I think. Besides that sometimes I'm not sure which grammar I have to use in my writing, I think I need to practice my writing skill more often now ( since I was busy in the last few months I learned English regularly). The other problem is the word order, because I'm still think in my languange, I guess I have made lots of mistakes when I make an English sentence, because no one can correct my writing here . That's why I have decided to join this forum hoping that we can help each other to improve our writing, grammar and pronunciation. :)

Same situation happens to me when I'm trying to write something that required to express my opinion. Sometimes I'm just getting stuck, and after a while I'm OK whith the task. Even though, I'm trying to learn as much as I can( I mean a new words), they are immediately flying away as soon as I'm trying to used them. I noticed that when I'm reading a book or an article, it is much easier for me to remember things than if I'm trying to just remember them in order. And also, everyday I'm trying to read the native speaking forums, and read them as much as I can. Honestly, it really helps enough, It's much easier to remember things for me, than to just learning a new words. It helps me to built up my writing, etc. I have found that reading and listening to the music, it is great resources of building up your vocabulary.
