how to improve writing skills

First of all, read newspapers, English ones. Read them as often as possible. Other than that, try subscribing to any websites offering great English advice and take note of them. Try writing to friends and ask them what they think. I think that should help

Hi! Just as JudgeIronFist mentioned, you can practice by reading. Aside from newspapers, you can try other literature too like short stories or novels. You can also watch films/TV shows in English. You may not consciously realize it but you can improve overtime. Also, I'd like to suggest a website about grammar. I used for work and I'd say I learned a lot from it. There are several topics and quizzes. Here is the website: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/index.htm Also, here's another website we used at work: http://www.grammarbook.com/ You can subscribe to their free newsletter. Each newsletter tackles a certain topic about grammar and it's very helpful because most newsletters feature common errors in English grammar usage like confusing spelling and use of words and common sentence construction mistakes. I hope these help. Have a nice day!

we are in the same problem. I also want to improve my writting skills specially in English.This thread is good for us to read some suggestions of our friends here in mylot. I highly need to learn and become good in grammar in english. Maybe like what you said , Practice makes perfect and be patient

I would suggest just writing more and having someone who knows it better to proofread your work. I can just see from your post that you need the help. You can't start sentences off with but and because because they are dependent clauses. If you combined it all into one sentence it would be a run-on so you need to learn how to write whole sentences apart from each other. Take out the as we all know and say we all know. Take out the but before even. Take out the period before because. You can post on myLot a lot and ask others to correct your English. I'm tempted to do that on a lot of posts because English is a second language to a lot of myLotters, but then again it might be considered offensive so I refrain from doing so.

Reading, listening, and writing contributes to improve your writing skills. you have to have great input to have a good output. be a wide reader, try to read the news, things about current affairs, movies, history, the bible, etc.. observe carefully how they are written, take clues with everything you read. hope this helps. goodluck
