Have you ever thought how many essays you have written? Do you have problems when you write? Do you know how to improve your writing level? As is known to us, writing is an important way to learn and use a language. I think there are three aspects can help you to practice writing, which is reading, writing and learning the special format.

To begin with, reading as much as possible. Reading is the basic of writing. The more you reading, the easier you control your language. What to read? Your textbooks, some English magazine such as English Digest, and address made by famous people would also be available. For example, the Gettysburg address given by Lincoln shows you many extent materials to write. Such splendid paragraphs are worth remembering.

In addition, practice writing sentences as often as possible. Words and sentences to an essay are like good materials to a skyscraper. Learn English in every corner of your life and make notes, then practice making sentences with what you have learnt. There is no doubt that keeping a diary is a good and useful habit to practicing writing. Use new phrases, sentence patterns and composite sentences as much as possible in your diary. For example, there is a good sentence pattern in Obama’s speech “If there is anyone out there who still doubt ~, who still questions ~, who still wonders~, today is your answer.”

What is more, follow standard structures of different types of essays. For example, you have to write an expository composition in your professional career. If you don’t know how to do that and you are a student in GUCAS, you will be so lucky to take writing class taught by a charming excellent teacher LeahGreen. In her class, you will get what you want. What’s more, you can refer to an introduction book such as College Writing Skills with Reading. There are many special skills for you to know these structures.

Just as an old proverb goes, Rome was not built in a day. Writing good essay is not an easy work. You can make it, if you are confident yourself. So, try to read a lot, use your owe words to make sentences and pay attention to the special essay structures. In a word, try to write, try to practice. Just remember that practice makes perfect.
