Free Writing, A Great Technique to Practice English #1 (permalink) Tue Jun 22, 2010 18:05 pm   Free Writing, A Great Technique to Practice English
 

Free writing is a very simple process that has a lot of creative potential and is the starting point for discovering lots of hidden information.

The guidelines for free writing are:

- Write without stopping for a certain period of time, it could be between 10 to 20 minutes.

- Refrain from making corrections as you write.

- Keep writing, even if you must write, “I have no idea what to write”.

- Write anything that comes to your mind.

- Do not judge or censor what you write.

Yes, you got it right! Free writing turns out to be chaotic; actually, if it isn’t, you probably aren’t relaxed enough, but there is no going wrong with free writing.

What matters about free writing is the process, not the result. If you follow the guidelines above, you will be a successful free writer; one that will enjoy all its benefits:

- It makes you more comfortable about writing.

- It helps you get around your inner critic, the one telling you you can’t write.

- It helps release inner anxiety.

- It helps you discover topics to write about.

- It helps you improve your formal writing.

- It is fun.

When practicing free writing, use the tool that makes you feel more comfortable: pen, pencil, computer, or any other. Do not cross anything out, if you have a new idea, write it down, but leave your old idea there too, and forget about punctuation, it will help you write faster and more fluently.

You can use free writing to practice things learned in your [http://www.english-test.net/esl/lesson-plans/e-mail_English_course_overview.html] ESL lessons [/url]. This technique will help you identify errors you commonly make, will help you notice sentence structure voids you may have, will help you understand what tone you use when writing, will help you detect words that you use too much, miss, or employ incorrectly, and basically, will help you understand how your brain is grasping the English language.

You can practice free writing anywhere; take advantage of this technique and use it to boost your learning experience outside the classroom.

Hi there people. Like most of you here, I am also trying to practice my writing skills.
I have taken a look at many topics here in this website, but I have not found one where we can send a composition/essay and have it corrected by our colleagues. I am new here and maybe a bit lost in it. LOL
Does anyone know a good topic?? please help me out.

Hi all ,

Well, glad to find this post , wow it's great idea
Free writing is actually teaching you too many things ! , new vocabularies, expressions, grammer, and turn my brain on ! < the last one is for me hehe "."
I mean tomorrow is my second week at the school and the last tow days I really got rest more than usual, and i think my brain is off, so free writing makes it think of something to write here haha, i think it's working now !
Ummm, what should I write . .
Ok, I have been learning English for less than a year, and my weak points are the prepositions and pronunciation ! That's all i think ,,

In fact, i found it so hard to use the prepositions . . I don't know why, i did read many lessons about them but i couldn't get that yet !
And about the pronunciation , i did not speak to an English speaker yet ! , so i'm shy and afraid of talking English . . But I'm trying to !

Ok friends , i'm not quite sure about my English level, Could you tell me please about how much my English is good ?

And thank you for the topic , i really spent a few minuts over something deserve =)

And if you wanna be in touch , this is my gmail adress : whoxy.b@gmail.com

Will be right back as soon as possible ,
Thanks again and good luck

A notice : i did not check out my spelling , sorry for that . .
