Lesson

Hello guys..

 What I'm about to tell you is really important. You need to do this no matter how hard it is and no matter how silly you think it is.Cool

 WRITE A DIARY... A JOURNAL... A DAILY NOTE...

 

Its proven .. I've done it.. many of my friends done it .. and the result was great..

I'm going to tell you how to do it  MY WAY  :)

1st: You need to force yourself on writing these notes everyday .. before going to sleep or whenever you like..

2nd: You don't have to write a lot.. just try to make it fun! draw sth while writing .. maybe a picture with some comments!

 3rd: Don't hold yourself from writing just because your grammar is weak!! write whatever you like .. the way you like... even if you didn't know the right spelling.. JUST write.. once you are done .. try to edit what you wrote..

 4th: You can write about anything not only what happened to you during the day! write a short story.. a dream you wish to make true... anything!! 

5th: With the time .. you WILL notice the difference .. you will write more than one line .. you'll feel the need of writing ... you'll end up writing pages.. and pages..

 

Above all ... doing this will guarantee that you practice what you learned during the day.

 

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A NOTE I MADE JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW YOU DO IT!

 

 

Best wishes

Ocean

w3nny.w ..you said "Hi Ocean,
It’s (a) great way to learn about (E)nglish,
(b)ut l() have (a) problem with gramm(a)r(.)
(D)o you think gramm(a)r is very important to sp(ea)k and write (E)nglish?
(M)any gramm(a)r in english, (I still confused when we use on of the grammer,??? )
Do you mind to teach me how to speak & write (E)nglish well ?"

 

Grammar is very important. However, don't look at it like if it is the hardest thing ever! The way I see your writing is that you are doing very well. What you need in your level is to start self-editing.

Try to do the following;

1- Write a short paragraph about anything. "first draft"

2- After you finish writing , read what you just wrote carefully. Look for grammatical mistakes and rewrite the paragraph again after the correction.

3- Read your paragraph and check the style and the words you used to express yourself. Do any correction neccessary.

4- send it to my e-mail or just post it in Ask English forum so others can help you with a final editing.

 5- If there is any more mistakes that you didn't know about and others found it, do not feel bad! this is the point of learning.. focus on these mistakes and make sure you won't make the same mistake again.

 

Best of luck!
