Improving your writing skills

Writing is an essential tool for communication, I would say it is one of the most relevant. Its main asset is that it allows us to express ideas, feelings or opinions in an organized way. It requires careful planning from the writer to create a text that is both comprehensible and coherent.

From my viewpoint, there is many things you can do to improve your writing skills. First and foremost, I think it is essential to pay attention to the way native speakers talk, the expressions they use in certain contexts and the phrases they avoid. In order to do that, I read books and newspapers in English. I also like to watch some American TV shows as well as movies. Music is another great way to learn new vocabulary and become familiar with the English language.

Secondly, there is many tools to enhance our writing skills. For example, for the time being I am using Cambridge Dictionary, Thesaurus.com, Collins Dictionary and wordreference.com. These are just a few helpful sites, there are thousands of possibilities in the internet, as well as grammar books and paper dictionaries.

To conclude, I'd like to say that there is a wide array of tools to improve your writing in the internet, but the most important thing is the will to write and the capability of learning from your mistakes.
