Learning the Rules of English Writing The best

writing course books. You can often find these at
book stores.

Learn New Words Daily Make it a point to learn
new words, their spellings, and definitions every
day. You could select two or three words out of
an English dictionary you dont know.

There are some great apps for your phone
including Word of the Day, its a free
download. After reviewing the spelling and
meanings, write a sentence or two using the new
words.

Read Something Daily Reading English is an
essential part of developing your writing skills,
too. The more you read, the more you start to
identify sentence structure, the proper placement
of nouns and verbs, and correct grammar.

Write Daily Make a habit of sitting down every
day and spend about 20 to 30 minutes writing. You
can write about anything or any topic which
interests you.

The objective of this task is to write between
four and six well-written sentences. After
writing out your sentences, read them out loud
and ask yourself if this sounds right or makes
sense. If not, edit your sentences until they
sound correct.

Have an English Speaking Friend Read Your Written
Work Even though your writing might sound
accurate and correct,

its in your best interest to have an English
speaking friend review the material, too. They
might notice a spelling error, improper placement
of a comma, or some other grammar error you
overlooked.

Enroll in an ESL Writing Class If you are
finding it difficult to improve your writing
skills on your own, there are ESL (English as a
Second Language) writing classes you can enroll
in and complete. You might find a classroom
setting is exactly what you need to keep you
encouraged.
