Work on your English spelling
Never
hesitate to practise spelling words which you find difficult. Spelling is a
large part of written English, so it's important that you try your best to get
the spelling of most words down.
3.
Read regularly
Once
you've improved your spelling skill, try to read regularly. Seeing and reading
English writing in person will help you understand how sentences are formed. It
will also expose you to novel ideas and the style of other writers, which will positively affect your writing skill afterwards. Those who read regularly have
more things to talk about on a given topic than those who read
occasionally.
4. Improve your grammar
It's
now time to improve your grammar. Practise with the English texts you have
read. Use examples from these texts or other English texts to help you with
this. Grammar, along with spelling, is an important part of English writing.
Make sure to practice using correct grammar when writing in English.
5.
Practise
Above
all, you have to practise! Practise writing English sentences, questions, and
phrases. Take what you've learnt from reading to help you with the structure of
a sentence; use spelling to make sure your words are correct! Take that
improved vocabulary, add in some new words, and constantly check to see that
your grammar is correct. You just need to practise!
