Hello Pirate, my favorite writing tips is 'writing accurately', because accurate writing makes
our writing not only factually and grammatically correct but also ensures that readers can easily understand our ideas.

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 :)

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."

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 {-:
Tip:
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.

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 {-:

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.

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..

As an ESL teacher, I completely agree with esra. Read voraciously. Read daily. Read anything you can lay your hands on. Reading exposes you to writing that is better than your own. It builds vocabulary and gives you the tools you need to improve your own writing. If there's one tip I wish all my students would take, this would be it.
