Good morning Ankhangphuc. There seems to be very little error in your spelling, nor in your comprehension.

Might I suggest that before you begin to write a sentence, that you give it some prior thought.

Also avoid starting each sentence by using " I ". This will always make the text boring because of its repetition.

Please try writing a few sentences, and let us see were you are going wrong. OK ?.

Kitosdad.

Jousef, Just a suggestion.


Hi, Good day

I have the same problem. I can read and speak very well, but my main problem is that I can't write as well as I can read & speak.

As to a solution to improving your writing, you should write something every day, and then ask someone here on the Forum to help you to recognise your mistakes.

Then you should re-write it, and with time you will see your writing improve.

I hope that you find the above suggestion helpful.

Regards, Jousef.

Hi Leka,

You need to change some of your habits. For example, are you ready and willing to follow basic rules? Your text shows that you still need to work on the basics. I'm sure you learned that in English we start each sentence with a capital letter and that the personal pronoun "I" is always capitalized. We also put a full stop at the end of each sentence. If you know these rules why do you think you don't need to follow them? If you ignore even these basic rules, how can you learn anything?

Hi Jousef,

You need to change some your habits. For example, you have developed the habit of ignoring basic rules. How can you improve your writing skills if you don't care about the simplest rules? Do you know which rules I'm referring to?

Also, in addition to writing texts yourself you need to read and analyze texts. By analyzing I mean you should pay close attention to how phrases and sentences are constructed. Try to use only those constructions you know are correct. Don't invent your own grammar rules. For example, here is one of your sentences: "I wish the suggested above helpful for the problem you deal with"

Now, where did you learn that sentence? Have you ever read it before or have you just made it up yourself?
