Let’s start this course
Well, my first skill to improve your English writing is
Keep simple principle
I know it looks really, very flat
But I often say to my students that it is accurate and concise
It’s much better than complex and inaccurate
In other words, keeping things simple
And doing it well is more complicated than everything
And it’s very bad to do it.
In English exams,
You want to show your own English,
And show accurate English,
But not all English you don’t know
Or never learned.
Now, it makes me want to say the second point,
To avoid making mistakes in English writing,
Collect fixed phrases, and
Keywords you can use in the exam
It is a very, very good idea.
Therefore, my second technique is to prepare keyword groups.
You must pay attention now.
You really don’t want to write what you are going to write
But you really want to have a good choice
You may say if time is enough.
Especially in the IELTS test,
And I know many of you are doing this for this,
However, this really applies to any exam,
You want a series of words and keywords to be prepared.
Now I will give you two examples.
A list that can be used for any topic.
It does not contain everything
But you learned every single one of the lists,
You will become very, very prepared
For your English exam.
So, focus on, if all the ideas here, you think,
“I can say that.”
Then continue to do your research or prepare your own
You want to make sure that you have a variety of
Method to go ….
Compare: “in the same way,” “at the same time,”
Compare the controls: “on the contrary,” “however,”
Example: “for instance,” “to show,”
Put forward your opinion: “from my perspective,”
“from my point of view,”
Summary: “overall,” “all things considered,”
The expression must be: “undoubtedly,” “of course,”
Express some views: “in a way,” “to some extent,”
Reason: “owing to,” “due to,”
Show Influence: “for this reason,” “consequently,”
Marking time: “to begin with,” “following this,”
Further explanation: “furthermore,” “moreover,”
Expression conditions: “unless,” “provided that,”
Express conclusion: “in summary,” “in short.”
So, this is just a very simple list
Write down exactly what you need to learn
Prepare for any English exam writing.
Now, the third point, very much
Very precisely for thesis writing,
Ie English test or university part,
Never use abbreviations.
Or which ones do not use abbreviations?
For example: cannot written as can’t,
Do not written as don’t,
Shall not be written as shan’t
I am written as I’m, these are all examples of abbreviations
You must avoid these in your writing
I know you really
Want to keep your words small
Because you are limited
At the same time, you also want to show as much as possible
But I have provided many tips to reduce your number of words
So make sure you don’t
Write abbreviations to your dissertation.
So, the fourth tip, reducing the number of words
Use words as little as possible.
Completely contradictory because I just said
You should not use abbreviations.
But I know some very, very small tips
It contains a big idea to reduce the number of your words
And the level of English has improved.
The first point is to avoid these completely bad words
Like “very,” “so,” “a lot,” “really.”
I mentioned in my video,
If you want to show your English,
Avoid these words; they are not essential.
They have no content in English.
Instead, replace them with powerful words.
Instead of “really happy,”
I want to say, “I am elated.”
Instead of “so scared,” I would say “terrified.”
All right?
Avoid boring words by using strong words
You can reduce your number of words by a certain amount
Now, another can reduce your number of words
And can improve the quality of your writing
It is to avoid “there is” and “there are.”
We want everything to be as clear as possible
Sometimes “there is” and “there are”
Only act as a filler; add extra words to our sentences.
So, I will give you an example
You can see this and remember it
Next, you will be writing part of a test paper
Sentence 1: There are many problems that we may encounter.
There are many problems that we may encounter.
Sentence 2: We may encounter many problems.
We may encounter many problems.
The first sentence has eight words.
The second sentence has five words.
You have reduced the number of your words and added
The quality and simplicity of your writing.
Therefore, the next test must use this method.
Fifth, read…
The correct text.
Read the text needed for writing.
I know many of you like to read during your leisure time.
You like to read it for fun.
Many of you will read English books.
It can improve your spelling
Increase your vocabulary at the same time.
But if you want to be in a writing exam
Get good grades,
You may not read the correct category.
Thinking about the potential part of writing
They will answer how you read.
Do they require you to write articles, reports, essays?
Maybe they will call you all three.
If so, all three will read it!
You need to go online or go to the library
Reading articles, reading reports,
Read the essay and read the comment.
Do your best to understand yourself
All writing styles.
Sixth, that is what you will hear in school
Many times; but as a lot
For many years, I feel very frustrated
For this very stupid mistake
I know that my students also know.
They will not make this mistake when they are talking.
So why do you make it while writing?
I have finished many times and I have already prepared my class.
I see some very obvious mistakes
In my student’s writing.
I am going to class to correct this mistake.
When I went to teach him, they said,
“But teachers, we already know this, this is a mistake.”
And this is because they do not check their writing.
I have a clear example.
I used to be a proofreader.
I usually do it before they send to publishers
Go check those documents
To make sure they are all right
There is no typo,
There is no grammatical error,
Nothing, nothing wrong, so everything is perfect.
I was surprised that I was able to do the job at that time.
Every mistake I can find.
Just look at these documents from a distance
I can find these mistakes.
However, if you follow my Instagram,
You will see that I often misspelled
Grammatical errors.
why?
Because I don’t check; I don’t check what I wrote.
My mother tongue is English and I misspelled.
Of course, many of my mobile phones are automatically calibrated.
That’s what I’m fighting.
However, many of them are my faults.
I don’t check them so I don’t see them.
I know that when you finish the exam, you are like,
“I’ve done my job, I want to see the next question.”
But you can avoid a lot of points
Just by checking what you wrote.
So please, please, please, assure its absolute priority.
I personally think this is very good if you write less
And more checks; fewer words, higher accuracy.
I know that usually I promote fluency above accuracy
However, it is not a writing test.
In the writing exam, you want to be perfect.
Now, the seventh point may be the most relevant
It is also the most difficult, especially if you are
A very remote area in the world.
The seventh point is to write and check.
Write down and check.
But unfortunately, check it
It’s rarer than it looks.
If you want to write, write as much as you can.
Of course, check it out.
It used to be very annoying to me. I was my student.
Hold five articles coming in.
I am very happy that they do this,
But I saw what they wrote and made a lot of
Silly mistake, I just thought,
“Oh, why don’t you check on yourself?
“I just corrected the same mistake again and again.”
But write everything you can and check it out,
Then see if you can find someone to correct it.
I don’t mean to find a completely stranger.
Also use their interest to correct it.
I personally think that you are looking for a teacher on the Internet.
And willing to be free and help you
Checking your writing is not likely
However, there are also many services and pen pal websites
It is like a mutually exchanged website.
If you find someone who wants to learn your language
Then they can help you learn English.
Well, you can do that.
Or, as I mentioned, services like Lingoda,
If you completed and submitted your writing
There will be a direct time to analyze your writing.
But I have to say, especially my young audience.
Really, really, really, be careful when you are online
When you practice English for you.
Make sure he is a trustworthy person because
Many of the unpredictable people want to chat with you.
Especially young girls, who are known as “practice English”
However, it is not actually designed for English practice.
His purpose is completely different.
So please, please, please note.
If you have funds, if you have time,
Find a suitable teacher and let them help you.
Everything here must be guaranteed
Have the right skills, legal qualifications,
And there is a good purpose.
Why do you just go online?
Will you help with your writing?
What purpose do they have?
Always think about it.
