Practice is necessary, sure. But there's a tip concerning spelling that can be used if understood how it works.
Did you ever think why some letters are extended up- or downwards? If letters had been the same size all over a writing there would have been some tension growing: in your hand - while you are writing, and in your eyes - while you are reading the message.
Our behavior, all our habits are rhythmical in nature, and extended elements establish the rhythm of writing... unless you write in separate letters. Write a whole word as one symbol and then "dot the 'i's and cross the 't's" with a backward movement of your hand. Don't write a word letter by letter - try to remember the whole word; and don't look at the sample word while writing it - check mistakes afterwards, when the word has been written. Use the extended elements as the rhythmical basis of your writing. Switch on some rhythm or music if you feel like it.

I'm trying to practise writing skill in order to get IELTS writing marks at least 5.5 but I find it really difficult.
The First part: describe a chart, graph, diagram or sth like that, I am always confused with what words I should use and I often repeat what I have written. Can you give me any tips?
About the second part I think that it is easier to express your ideas about an issue.

Summary
Aloha!
Here comes my summary of the article "The Dangers of Chronic Distress" by Michael Craig Miller, M.D., which you can find on the webside:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9466930/site/newsweek/
Or by googeling the title of the article.
Once again huge thanks!
The Dangers of Chronic Distress – summary
Prof. Johan Denollet has invented a personality test containing 14 questions to show the connection between psychological conditions and heart diseases, known as the DS14. The test helps to identify the so called Type D personality – rather pessimistic people, dominated by worries and anxieties. The DS14 distinguishes between two distress factors: “negative activity” and “social inhibition”, which may have a bad influence on the heart. Such psycho-tests had been developed earlier but did not stay, though they were not useless, as they showed exactly these feelings which are harmful to our health. Denollet’s own tests as well as researches made in the Netherlands proved that there is a connection between Type D personalities and the premature death of cardio patients. However, the DS14 has to be tested itself until it will be reliable. Besides, possessing a Type D personality does not doom one to an early death, as there is a multitude of possibilities to ward off the threats for one’s health, e.g. a good marriage or the help of psychologists. Taking up sport and a dietary change may also improve one’s quality of life. Prof. Denollet’s invention gives the possibility to have an objective view on our personality and maybe to change something in our life to feel better.

Hello,
To make a negative sentence in English you need to use the auxiliary verb 'do'. So to make your second example correct it should be:
You do not have any new messages ...
Often, we contract 'do not' so that it becomes 'don't'.
Eg. You don't have any new messages ...
Your first example is correct because it uses 'no' to make the sentence negative. Therefore, 'don't' is not necessary.
You have no new messages (correct)
You don't have no new messages (incorrect)
Note, you can also 'haven't got' for this sentence. This form is more commonly used in spoken British English.
Eg You haven't got any new messages ...
Hope this helps!

Re: Tips for Writing
There's one tip I can give you. When you're writing, K.I.S.S.
K.I.S.S is a simple idea. It means keep it short and simple. If you're writing, don't focus too much on using big words. Your message will get lost in the transition and chances of you making a mistake will be bigger as well.
Also, you really have to practice. Even if you're just posting in forums and not typing an official document, write properly. This helps you develop the muscle memory that can be helpful when you're typing. For example, if you're used to capitalizing every start of a sentence, your hands' muscles will get used to it and will do it without you really thinking about it.

Re: Tips for Writing
I also do some article writing online as a job. It's not wrong to use the net as resources because a major part of writing is researching. Don't be afraid to use resources. However, plagiarism is a crime so make sure that you're just using your resources for research and not for copying.alexisj wrote:Thanks for sharing those cool tips guys.. That was really helpful as to the nature of my work where I face the net making blogs and posting articles, for in blogging there's really a need for bloggers to create content that's some like original. Even though some of the topics or I'd say information were all net sourced, there are usually times where you need to revised it, to come up with an originality. And in posting any topics, correct grammar should be considered.

Re: Tips for Writing
If you're writing, make sure that spell checker is on when you're using MS Word. This helps you make sure that everything is done correctly. You'll also see errors that you didn't know was an error so it helps a lot.

A good tip is also to write with music in the background. It works for me if I'm listening to some slow jams music. It inspires me. Experiment first to see which genre of music works for you. It's just like working out!

Re: Tips for Writing
Write with emotions! A powerful piece should make the readers feel what you are feeling when you are writing your piece. Also, this will help you write better since you're writing from the heart as well as from the mind.

Re: Tips for Writing
A great draft when writing essays or articles, it was taught by my English teacher .
Make a big circle at the centre of the paper then draw lines as to make it look like a hedgehog, then at the end of each line draw another smaller circle. Each smaller circle represents a paragraph or a perspective of the main theme, which you have written it at the centre of the big circle.

Try to find incorrect spelled words in others' posts. Tell them to correct those mistakes or not is your choice, but practice to see mistakes in writing can help you a lot. Try to make your own way of writing. Goodluck.

Re: Tips for Writing
For writing, two things will not only help you but also will improve your writing skills.
1. Think & Think
2 Make Blue Print/Outline
First process the topic in your mind and decide the points which you are going to write. Then make an outline with the most important points. These points will be like the sub-headings which you can elaborate.
Happy Writing :)

Re: Tips for Writing
I'm an English tutor teaching English online through Skype. One simple rule I have remembered when I was a student is "If it doesn't sound right, it's probably wrong."

Tip:writerone wrote:I learn by reading and writing. Each writer has their own writing style. If the reader can understand what is wrote then the writer did good since there is no perfect. But in time is it possible to (master) the art of writing? I only see the understanding of the writing by the subject and not the words precisely. Each word has it's own meaning within the piece. And I will never understand where the reader will interpret what they thought the writer was writing? Why write if the reader is going to interpret.
Most of the time the writer knows what they are writing about, and sometimes they don't, I have been there. writerone
It's very important for the writer to understand what (s)he is writing first so that the reader can easily get to the bottom of what the writer is really trying to express.

Re: Tips for Writing
Here are a few writting tips:
1. Use exclamation marks (!) to show anger or surpise but don't use them in formal essays/writting.
2. Use semi colons (;) when linking together two clsoely related sentences, for example:
I have a big test tomorrow; I can't go out tonight.
3. Use colons (:) when you area bout to start a list or a qoutation.
Hope this was helpful

Re: Tips for Writing
Check out any given paper and see the paragraphs that are short.
That is achieved to earn reading less difficult, as our brains participate in details improved if it has divided up into small balls. In educational writing, just about every paragraph develops one particular notion and frequently comprises many paragraphs. However in relaxed, regular composing, the fashion is not as formal and expressions might be as limited as one sentence and sometimes maybe a lone sentence.

Re: Tips for Writing
A good tool to train your articles ability articles.e-guru.ru, it helped me a lot since there are no articles in my native language and so they are damn difficult to catch in relatively complex (e.g. academic) writing..
