Improve Your Writing
When it comes to writing essays for international exams, there are two important things that you need to remember.
- Read the question
- Plan your answer
In my experience for international exams like CAE, CPE, IELTS and TOEFL, there’s normally 3 or 4 points that are mentioned in the questions that you must refer to in your answer. These carry a lot of weight in the grading because they show that you have understood the task.
Its always important to plan you writing, and that is true in any language. Make sure that each paragraph has a theme and that you don’t jump around. Give your work an overall structure with a beginning and a middle and an end. Well I hope that is helpful for the writing.
Improve Your English More and More
For the second part of your question, the best way to improve more and more is to keep practising and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes so the more you make the more you learn.
Thanks for the question Oumaima, and everyone; What kind of writing do you get asked to do and how do you find it? Let me know in the comments below.
