How to improve your English writing in 5 minutes
Below is an excerpt from a story, but it is purposefully written in an ugly way. Do you find this excerpt pleasant to read?
Now you can read the original version of the excerpt. It's the same text but it's much more pleasant to read, don't you think?
There are three kinds of typing errors in the ugly version:
- wrong use of spaces (a missing space or an unnecessary space)
- incorrect capitalization (lower case instead of upper case or upper case instead of lower case)
- incorrect spelling
How to avoid writing in an ugly way
- Be careful. Put spaces between words. Use proper capitalization: The first word in every sentence should start with a capital letter. So should every proper name (such as English and The Beatles).
- "You" and "I". Remember that the word "I" is spelled "I", not "i", and the word "you" is spelled "you", not "u".
Put a space after every comma and every period; never before it.
The wrong way:
((I listen to many rock bands , all in English,and I listen every day ,sometimes for over seven hours a day . I am constantly aware of my success with English . ))The right way:
((I listen to many rock bands, all in English, and I listen every day, sometimes for over seven hours a day. I am constantly aware of my success with English. ))
Use a spellchecker. With a spellchecker, you can easily avoid mistakes like becouse, ma (instead of am), cna (instead of can), and taht (instead of that).
