Well, my reports came out. Every teacher had good comments except on one thing: my writing skills.
The teacher say my writing skill is poor: cant express myself, not economical and alot of blabing on, not so good vocab, etc. etc. Can anyone help me to improve my writing skills cuz I seriously want to be at least decent in school in writing. All helps appreciated! Thanks in Advance!

Get a word of the day in your e-mail or desktop to improve your vocabulary. Also, have a dictionary by you when you're reading books and look up every single word you don't know. It will help you understand the story a whole lot better.
For improving writing skills especially for essays, always use a guide to the English language type manual. When you're editing read the essay backwards. Read the last sentence first then go towards the beginning of the essay. I usually find mistakes that way. If you have trouble expressing yourself, try writing a journal/diary. Write whatever you want and try to make it into a story. Read it out loud later to see if it makes sense to you and change whatever you have to. This will help you organize your thoughts better. |
