Hello everyone I am Niharika and welcome back to a new lesson. Today we are gonna look at five
tips to improve your writing skills. Now strong writing skills come with a lot of practice
and determination. And not everyone is born as a writer, well it's important for you to
look at improving your writing skills for various reasons. Maybe you wanna do really
good in a class or probably, you wanna write good emails or even if you have to write or
blog posts. So it's important for you to improve your writing skills, so here let's get started
with our tips to improve your writing skills.
The first tip that I have for you is to start practicing writing on daily basis, that's
pretty important. Now here I don't mean to say that just pick up a paper and pen and
start writing. Well, form a habit, it should come from within, something that you really
look forward to do on daily basis. So pick up a topic and start writing, don't get stuck
on the thought that, what am I gonna write or what should I write? How should I write?
Just ignore these thoughts and go ahead and write about the things that you see, the things
that you hear or probably just make up a story and start writing. Also what you can do is,
you can start commenting on Facebook status or probably comment on different block posts.
So this is the way you can practice writing on daily basis.
The second tip that I have for you to improve your writing skills is, Use online resources
to improve your grammar. Now yes I can imagine grammar is a pain, but it's alright to not
know everything about grammar. It is okay to go online and you know look at different
websites, where you can clear your doubts, if you have any about grammar. You can also
watch our videos, because we have lot of videos for you related to grammar. So go ahead, if
in case you think that I am grammatically incorrect, when you are writing something,
please refer to online resources.
The third tip that I have for you is, To improve your vocabulary and spellings. Well, to express
yourself successfully in writing you need words and of course, you need lot of words.
So how would you do that? Well, it's important for you to build a good vocabulary, in fact
you can refer to our series of daily video vocabulary. There you will find lots of new
words and with examples, so that you get an idea that how to use the word appropriately.
Because it's important for you to use the words correctly, so that it definitely reflects
in your writing. Now what you can also do is once you learn a new word, please look
at the right spelling and also the right meaning and maybe you can also look at the opposite
of it, so that you know you can build your vocabulary in a better way. Also please check
your spellings, when you're writing, the reason because any incorrect spellings would change
your sentence completely. So make sure to make a note of it.
The fourth tip that I have for you is to improve your reading skills. Well, of course to write
better, you need to read well. So it's important for you to just pick up newspapers or magazines
and start reading the articles that interest you, because you don't want learning to be
boring. So pick up that you would really like to read, because once you start reading, you
would come across different styles of writing. This would help you to write better, this
would also help you to learn new words as well, so get going, start reading.
And fifth and the last point that I have for you is to have a friend to edit your writing.
Well, what's the point, if you keep on writing lot of stuff and there's no one to correct
you, so go ahead catch a friend of yours, whose really good at English, who writes well
and is very good with grammar too, he or she can correct your writing, would edit it for
you and you know tell you, what mistakes are you making and that's essential. You need
to know what mistakes you make, so that you get better. So please go ahead and get a friend
to edit your writing.
So this brings me to the end of this lesson. Hope these tips are useful to you? And it
will definitely improve your writing skills, if you have any doubts or queries, please
