“How You Can Improve English Writing?”


We can improve English writing by:
 Think in English
Train your brain to start forming sentences in English. If you find yourself
thinking in another language, stop yourself and repeat it in English. Once
this becomes a habit, you will be able to speak English fluently and find
your flow in the language. Thinking in English can also improve your
writing because you will not have to wait and translate an idea in your
head first.
 Talk to yourself
To improve your spoken English, you need to keep talking in
English. You may not be ready to strike up a conversation with
someone else, so here’s an idea. Start with yourself. Talk to
yourself. As crazy as it may sound, it’s a great way to overcome the
unfamiliarity of a language on your tongue. If talking to yourself
makes you uncomfortable, you can participate in language
exchange programs with friends or acquaintances. These programs
encourage two individuals to learn and teach different languages to
each other. This form of a give and take gives people a chance to
not only work on their English speaking skills but also a chance to
teach a language they hold mastery in.

 Read

Start by reading basic books that have less text and are supported by
pictures. You can scale up when you feel more confident. Reading helps
you subconsciously register the nuances of the language. Books are
personal and don’t require any interaction with others, so you can take
your own time with a book. If you have a GetLitt! subscription, you gain
access to a wide range of books from beginner to advanced reading
levels. Being an e-library, it is also easily accessible; it’s like carrying
your bookshelf along with you.
Apart from books, try to read absolutely anything in English, from
magazines and newspapers to hoardings.

 Write
Continuous practice will improve your English writing skills and you will
eventually see a definite positive change in your language skills. This
combined with other forms of exposure to the language will also equip
you to avoid and correct mistakes. Writing also helps to retain
information better and while learning a language, it is recommended that
the learner put pen to paper.

 Learn a New Word every day


To enhance your language, you can create a vocabulary list and learn a
new word every day and try to use it in conversation and make
sentences with it.  You can also pick phrases and understand what they
mean. They are easy to learn and use. Phrases are a collection of words
that form a part of a sentence.
Some common phrases:
1. Excuse me
2. Under the weather
3. It’s raining cats and dogs

 Grammar & Spellings


While these two important pillars of the English language can take
a backseat in the initial stages of learning, we wouldn’t advise
completely forgetting about them. Grammar is the foundation on
which the language stands and spellings too are important for
comprehensive communication. But stressing about them can take
away from the fun of learning. Don’t focus on it too much but
accept corrections and help on spellings and grammar mistakes
graciously. Grammar and spellings are also a subconscious
learning process that will happen simultaneously as you keep
engaging with the language.
