Resource 4: Develop your own English

Here are some tips for developing your own writing skills:

• Read as much as you can in English. Good writers are often also good readers! Reading as much as possible will help you to develop your vocabulary and language use.
• Write as much as you can in English – shopping lists, diaries, notes – whatever you can. This will help you develop confidence in writing, and will develop your fluency.
• Remember that you can take your time when you write something. You can write as many drafts as you like, and you can revise and edit your own work.

And don’t forget to share your written work with your peers. It’s always a good idea to get feedback.
