Improving English writing skills

How to improve your English writing skills

There are many reasons why you might need or want to improve your writing skills in English. Perhaps you need to reply to emails at work in English or take an English language exam, for example, TOEIC or IELTS. Or maybe you need to write essays in English for university, write letters to English friends or relatives or you might want to start writing a blog in English!

Whatever the reason is that you need to improve your English writing skills, you will need to work hard. Having good writing skills in English is not something which is easy to achieve.

English Writing

English writing is thought to be an essential skill for success in the modern global economy.
 Many experts would go as far to say that without certain knowledge

of English reading skills and English writing skills, a career would be somewhat limited if it involves doing business in English-speaking countries at even a basic level.

Therefore, it is recommended that English writing becomes a necessity for any global businessperson who wishes to advance his or her career in the global marketplace. The good news is that while English reading and English speaking are best learnt in either an online forum or an in-class course, English writing can be taught at a pace consistent with your current writing ability.

One method of learning English writing is to study subjects that you enjoy learning about and writing in the style of  your favourite authors of those subjects.
By writing and rewriting particular passages, words and sentences that make up the work, you will gradually notice and understand particular themes that are often used in English writing. Of course, the best way to learn English writing is together with a good English speaking and reading programme so all three can work together to form the basis of a solid knowledge of the English language.
