1. Practice writing English for beginners

Most of us when learning English are afraid to write. For beginners who want to write well, they must practice the habit of writing every day.

What does practicing English writing help us do?

First: you remember things better. Especially the ability to memorize English vocabulary. When you combine the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, all knowledge will be remembered better.

Second: practicing writing will help you speak better. Many of you will be confused when you don't know how to use words when communicating. Writing practice will help slow down this process. You have more time to choose appropriate words and expressions. From there, you can express your own writing style. Writing will be a process that helps you prepare content before speaking.

2. 7 tips to practice basic English writing for beginners

a. Practice writing short sentences first which means writing to-do-list in English

Many of you have probably heard of the benefits of writing a to-do list. Instead of writing every day in Vietnamese, now we write in English instead. Besides to-do-list, you can write everything every day in English. Like writing on notes, writing status, diary...

Using English to complete a task will help you be more motivated to write every day. And in the long run, writing will become your habit.

b. Practice advanced writing with a blog

The word “blog” sounds scary to many people. Especially those who are not interested in literature. But really, this method is not as big as many of you think.

A blog is just a private place where you can comfortably write about your favorite topics. You can write anything on your blog. You can also practice writing English on topics you like. Or simply record a day of the week. Write everything with excitement in English!

Not to mention that when many people read your articles, they will be motivated to improve their writing skills.

c. Build an outline for the article

Once you get used to writing in English, build a scientific outline for your next articles. That's why your teachers always advise you to create an outline when writing.

 

No matter what professional writers want to write, they will create an outline to outline the content they intend to write.

d. Build your vocabulary list

You should have your own list of words and structures. If you come across a good expression or vocabulary, write it down for later use.

Before writing, you should point out words related to the topic and synonyms. Be flexible to use words in the best way, avoid using the same word too many times.

Examples of word lists you can collect to use:

Some words and phrases can replace "bad" such as adverse, poor quality, harmful...

Some linking words and phrases to express contradictions such as despite, on the contrary, conversely...

e. Read as much as possible

Like we often say, English listening practice and speaking practice are closely related to each other. And reading and writing in English is the same. That's why I mentioned from the beginning that if you want to write well in English, you have to spend time reading a lot.

Reading a lot will help you improve your vocabulary, sentence structure, and grammar so you can improve your expression.

f. Join the English writing community

Find someone who is fluent in English or at least more proficient than you and ask them to correct your essay for you. Because other people will have a more objective view and know the mistakes you make that you don't realize.

Another way is to join English writing communities, where there will be classmates or teachers to help you correct your work.

g. Write as much as you can

The last and most important tip is that you have to write a lot to write better. Writing a lot will help you improve your writing style better and better. Expression and sentence structure through many articles will make them yours.

Writing a lot will help you remember how words are spelled and limit the spelling mistakes you made in the beginning.
