OK, let's start writing!

[Kitosdad]

The requirements for learning any language are the abilities to read, write and speak in a clear, understandable manner.

OK, you don't have access to English reading materials!
OK, you have no-one to speak with in English!

But you can write ............. a piece of paper and a pencil are your sole requirements.

Just write, write about anything!
What kind of place do you live in? Your city, town, village. It matters not, just describe it.

What do you think about your school, parents, grand-parents, school friends.

Describe each in as much detail as you can.

Do you have a friendly neighbour? Describe them and their kindnesses toward you.

Do you have a pet? Tell me about it, because I want to know.

PM me if you are too shy to post your thoughts to the Forum.

Just write write, write, write. It doesn't have to be grammatically correct, or a hundred page story. The whole point is that all of your minds are teeming with ideas and thoughts.
Don't keep them to yourself and find yourself becoming frustrated because you don't know the "right" words in English.
Tell me about them, and together we will find the words to express your dreams in English.

How are you to ever progress if you don't share your dreams and problems with a receptive listener?

Please, don't smother your ideas and thoughts. Share them on the Forum, or with Kitos.

Hello Kitos,
I am sad because I can't find a job. It is a problem, but I am happy because I can learn English her when I am not working.
When I have learned enough perhaps I could teach children.
I don´t have a lot of friends and that's why I now have a problem with my job-hunting.
In this country if you don´t have good relations you cannot find a good job, but I am not a fatalist, and every day I go and knock and knock on the doors, and I know one door is going to stay open.
At the moment I am gaining the advantage of having English on my list of qualifications.

Good morning Ari. I know just how you feel, but unlike you I am too old to be offered a job. You have the future to look forward to and every incentive to improve your English skills.

Please allow me to help you;I have edited your post for you.
One further point; ALWAYS use a capital I, and not an i when talking about yourself.
All sentences should be started with a Capital letter.

Kitos.

Hello Kitos,
I want to write about Diwali,because I am from india and Diwali is an Indian festival.

Diwali is a festival of light. For this faetival we decorate our house.
First of all we clean our whole house,wardrobes, kitchen,bedrooms,gardens,then we decorate with lights, candles, colours and flowers.

We make sweets and cakes.
We pray to the godess Laxmi. Godess Laxmi is the symbol of money, and then we distribute sweets to our neighbours.

We go and visit our elders for blessings.

Tomorrow is Diwali and today I am making sweets.

Suchita, thank you very much for telling us about your Festival of Light, and about the Godess Laxmi. Please offer up a prayer for me whilst you are praying.
It sounds delightful, and I'm sure your home looks beautiful.

Kitos.

Good morning Rosario. Your letter is well written, but I suggest you re-title it ;

Notice of resignation.

Additionally you might spend some time pondering the date of penning your letter, and the date that the resignation becomes effective.
