Let’s start this course
Well, my first improve your English writing skills is
Simple principle to keep simplified
I know it looks a really, really dull
But I often say to my students, accurate and concise
Complex and accurate than much better
In other words, keep things simple
And do a good job, too complicated than getting everything confused
And do bad is better.
Exercises in English exam,
You want to show their English,
And demonstrate accurate English,
However, not all of you do not know English
Or never learned.
Now, it makes me want to say the second point,
In order to avoid mistakes in English writing,
Collect fixed phrases, and
You can use keywords in the exam
It is a very, very good idea.
So my second tip is to prepare key phrases.
Now, you have to pay attention.
You really do not want to write you going to write
But you really want to have a good choice
You might say that if enough time.
Especially in IELTS,
And I know many of you are in this order,
However, this really applies to any examination,
You want to have a series of words and keywords are ready.
Now, I’ll give you an example of two,
The list can be used for any topic.
It does not contain everything,
But you learn a list of where every,
You will become very, very prepared
For your English exam.
So, focus, all points of view here, if you think,
“I can describe those of.”
It would continue to do your own research or prepare their own right
You want to make sure that you have a variety of
Way to go ….
Compared: “in the same way,” “at the same time,”
Comparison of control: “on the contrary,” “however,”
For example: “for instance,” “to illustrate,”
You are presented views: “from my perspective,”
“From my point of view,”
He summarized: “overall,” “all things considered,”
Express affirmation: “undoubtedly,” “of course,”
Expression of some of these points: “in a way,” “to some extent,”
Indicating the cause: “owing to,” “due to,”
Demonstrate the impact: “for this reason,” “consequently,”
Marked time: “to begin with,” “following this,”
Further explained: “furthermore,” “moreover,”
Expression conditions: “unless,” “provided that,”
Conclusion The expression:. “In summary,” “in short”
So, this is a very simple checklist
Write down exactly you needed to learn
Fully prepared for any English exam writing.
Now, the third point, very
Very precisely in order essay writing,
ie English test or university section,
Do not use the short form.
What do abbreviations or do?
For example: I can not write as can not,
do not write as do not,
shall not shall not be written as
I am writing as I’m, these are all examples of abbreviations
In your writing you have to avoid these
I know you really, really
You want to keep a small number of words
Because you are limiting
At the same time, you also want to show as much as possible
But I have provided a number of techniques to reduce the number of words you
So, make sure you do not heart
To write the short form to your thesis writing.
Therefore, the fourth skill, reducing the number of words
As little as possible with words.
Completely contradictory, because I just said
You should not use abbreviations.
But I know some very very small tips
Which contains truths to reduce the number of words your
And English has improved.
The first point is to avoid these entirely bad word
As “very,” “so,” “a lot,” “really.”
I mentioned in my video too,
If you want to show your English,
Avoid these words; they no avail.
They are not content in English.
Instead, replace them with a strong word.
Instead of “really happy,”
I have to say, “I am elated.”
Instead of “so scared,” I say “terrified.”
All right?
By using strong words, avoid those silly words,
You can reduce the amount of your word count
Now, another word you can reduce the number of
And can improve the quality of your writing method
It is to avoid the “there is” and “there are.”
We want to make everything as clear,
Sometimes, “there is” and “there are”
Only acts as a bulking agent; adding extra words in our sentences.
So, I’ll give you an example.
You can see this and remember it
Next, you will do the writing section of a paper
A sentence: there are many problems that we may encounter.
there are many problems that we may encounter.
Sentence two: We may encounter many problems.
We may encounter many problems.
The first sentence of eight words.
The second sentence of five words.
You have reduced your number of words, and adds
Quality and simplicity of your writing.
So, next time be sure to test using this method.
Fifth, read …
The correct text.
Reading and writing desired text.
I know many of you like in your leisure time reading,
Do you like to read, for fun,
Many of you will read books in English,
It can well improve your spelling ability
While improving your vocabulary.
However, if you want to write the exam
Get good grades,
You may not read the correct species.
Potential thinking part of writing
They will answer what you read.
If they ask you to write articles, reports, essays?
Perhaps they will tell you three are written.
If so, all three have read it!
You need to go online or go to the library
Read the article, read the report,
Read the essay, read reviews.
Do your best to understand their own
All writing style.
Sixth, what you’ll hear in school
Many times; however, as a lot when
Teacher for many years, I feel very frustrated
For this very stupid mistake
I know that my students all know.
They would not have made this mistake when speaking,
So why commit at the time of writing it?
Many times I have done, had prepared the class,
I saw some very obvious mistakes
In writing my pupils.
I am going to school to correct this mistake,
When I went to teach him, they said,
“But the teacher, we already know this, this is a mistake.”
This is because they do not check their writing.
I have an obvious example.
I do proofreader before.
Before I usually send in their publisher
To examine those documents
To make sure they are all right,
There are no spelling errors,
There are no syntax errors,
Nothing, nothing wrong, so everything is perfect.
I was surprised I was able to do the job.
I can find every mistake.
Just look at these documents from a distance
I will be able to find these errors.
However, if you follow my Instagram,
You will see that I often misspelled,
Grammatical errors.
why?
Because I do not do checks; do not check what I wrote.
My native language is English, I misspelled.
Of course, there are many of them my phone automatically corrected,
That is, I was struggle.
However, there are a lot all my fault.
I do not check them, so I did not see them.
I know that when you complete the exam, you’re like,
“Well, I’ve done, I want to see the next question.”
But you can avoid a lot of points
Just by checking what you write.
So please, please, please, ensure its absolute priority.
Personally, I think it’s very good if you write less
And more inspection; fewer words, higher accuracy.
I know, I usually advocate fluency than accuracy
However, it is not writing exam.
In writing the exam, you have to perfect.
Now, the seventh point is perhaps the most relevant
And most difficult, especially if you are
World very remote areas.
The seventh point is to write, and then check.
Write it down and check.
But unfortunately, it checks
Rare than it looks.
You want to write to write as much as possible,
Of course, check it out.
It used to make me very upset me when my students
Holding five articles to come.
I’m glad they do it,
But I saw they were written, made a lot
Stupid mistakes, I was just thinking,
“Hey, why do not you check yourself?
“I was just over and over again to correct the same mistakes.”
But to write as much as you can, and check,
Then see if you can find someone to correct it.
I do not mean to find a complete stranger.
But also with their interests to correct it.
Personally, I think you just find a teacher on the Internet
And free and willing to help you
Check your writing, it is unlikely
However, there are many services and pen pal sites
It is like a mutual exchange website.
If you find someone you want to learn the language
Then, they can help you learn English,
Well, you can do that.
Or, as I mentioned, like Lingoda services,
If you complete and submit your writing
There will be a direct time to analyze your writing.
But I have to say, especially my young audience,
Really, really, really want to be careful when you contact online
Help people when you practice English.
Make sure that he is a trustworthy person, because there are
Many of the detractors who want to chat with you,
Especially young girls, they “practice their English” in the name
But not really for the purpose of practicing English.
His purpose is completely different,
So please, please, please pay attention.
If you have money, if you have the time,
To find a suitable teacher, let them help you.
Anything here must be guaranteed.
Have the right skills and legal qualifications,
And with good purpose.
Why just one person online
You will help your writing?
What purpose do they have?
Always think about.
