Resource 5: 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 time when you write something. You can write as many drafts as you like, and you can revise and edit your work.
- Share your written work with your peers. It’s always a good idea to get feedback.
