How to Learn
To Write in English

Students
who are learning English often learn to speak first, and then they want
to learn to write in English.
What is the best way of achieving this?
Well, assuming you:
- know the alphabet
- write at least basic sentences
Then there are 5
major points to take into consideration if you want to improve your
written English.
Grammar
The first point to remember is that
grammar is more
important when you are writing than when you are
speaking.
Usually, when you write something, it is for a particular reason, for
example to apply for a job or write a letter of complaint.
In these cases you are trying to create a positive impression.
Verbal language is changing more quickly than written language, so
there are instances of "street language" where even native English
speakers use incorrect grammar.
This isn't the case in written language, where the language is usually
more formal and more structured.
So you really need to practice your grammar and do lots of
exercises
to improve your knowledge and use of grammar.
This can be done by taking a class, by hiring a
tutor,
or by
self-study
using the internet,
books,
podcasts,
or CDs/DVDs. There are lots of options available.
Vocabulary
Second, if you have a limited
vocabulary,
this will become more evident in written English because your words are
concentrated together in one place.
So try to increase your vocabulary to improve your writing.
There are many ways to do that, but you may need to try a few
techniques before you find one that suits you.
Have Your Work Checked
Third, you will not be able to improve your written English unless you
have someone check your work.
Write as much as you can and ask someone to look at it. Whether it's a
teacher, a co-worker or a friend, ask them to look at your work and
show you any mistakes.
This is very important, since if you don't know you are making
mistakes, you will not be able to correct them.
Style and Register
Fourth, there are different styles of English.
Different registers (levels of formality) apply to different kinds of
texts and this makes writing English difficult sometimes.
To learn to write in English you really need to become aware of these
styles. There are books to help you if you do not have an English
teacher.
The next point will also help with this.
Reading
Fifth, one of the best ways to learn to write in English is to
read as much
as possible, in as many styles as possible.
The more you read, the more different styles of writing and the more
vocabulary you will be exposed to.
You will start to know intuitively what feels right and what doesn't
seem right.
In Conclusion
It's not really something you can achieve in Immediately, but with
hard, efficient work and gradual improvement you should
definitely get there.
