Write Regularly
Try to write every day. The more you write, the more comfortable you will feel writing. You will receive extensive practice in the units of this book. In addition, some learners find that keeping a journal or writing letters to friends in other cities or countries gives valuable writing experience.
If you are taking a class, have your teacher evaluate your essays. If you are working independently, ask a friend or relative read your essays. If this is not possible, evaluate your writing yourself. After finishing an essay, put it aside for a day. Then read it as objectively as uses the chart, Essay Scoring Guide, and the check list, Self-evaluation Check List, as scoring/evaluation guides.
Write the date on your completed essays and keep them together in a folder or notebook. This way, you will be able to track your progress, note your strengths, and figure out areas in which you want to improve.
