Thoughts from a Senior Writer

Writing essays in English might be confusing when it comes to providing solid, clear and meaningful texts. Especially, when you are looking for impressing a community or a particular group of people, the more you focus on your writing skills and abilities, the more influential articles you will present. And since people nowadays are writing more than ever –essays, reviews, e-mails, text messages etc. you have to pay attention to the impact of decent writing.

As English is a multicultural language that dates back to 1500 years ago, it includes thousands of words from numerous languages and cultures. Therefore, you should be open to understand and acknowledge many different lexical structures as there are a great number of them within the language itself. You will be successful in writing to the degree where you concede that English is a tough but amusing language.

Considering all these features of English, which is accepted as the most spoken language in the world – Chinese is not taken into this ranking due to the massive population of China – all you need to do when writing is to follow a series of rules and watch out for possible mistakes throughout. Here are several landmarks that you need to keep in mind when writing:

Few tips and tricks before you start

Before starting to write, try and establish a coherent outline that you would follow without being in need of starting over and over again. Be careful about what you are writing in terms of putting meaningful and eye-pleasing words together. Double-check your systematic writing as you would not want to bother the reader in the middle of your text and make sure to establish a consistent stencil. Do not lose your focus on grammar when directing all your concentration on the context. Keep a grammar material and a dictionary handy so you can – at the very moment of writing – edit your work without having to go all over the context for potential errors. If you are not sure about how to spell a word, try to sound it out and read it slowly as you can therefore somewhat understand that word and have an idea of how to write it down. Do not forget that you are the one who exactly knows what kind of memory and a personal approach you got in terms of drawing on a language. So, prepare yourself daily beforehand by pursuing relevant context online, playing word games, and downloading proper apps on your mobile devices to hold yourselves at disposal. And finally, brace the areas where you are good at – such as wording, writing structures etc. – and advance on them to reveal the best version of your writing. Concisely, there are simple and apparent rules that will proceed with your writing to the next level. Having the command of a language may not be enough to have a sound writing, so abovementioned are some of the critical points that can eminently help you improve your writing.
