The best way to improve in a second language is to use it.  You are making a start here in reading and writing English.  It would be good for you to also speak and listen to English too.  There are English radio stations online and also the BBC have programmes you can watch online too (the news etc).  Perhaps an English speaking friend on Skype (or similar service) might be a good idea too.  Good Luck, I hope you achieve your aim!

When you can not write properly how come you can teach. Stop this comic English when you ask something. It only ruin your reputation. \n\nDo you also write Job application in the same way? I am not commenting on your English I just want to say please try to write instead of short hand.(No hard feelings, I do appoint people therefore I am giving you advise.)

First, be sure to use spell check.  Find out if there are any learning centers in your area.  Once you've written a piece, take it apart, sentence by sentence.  Make a checklist for yourself:  Correct Spelling, Correct Grammar, Ties Into Main Topic, etc. and then go through the paper, sentence by sentence and make sure each sentence meets the criteria.  There are a million resources out there, if you are willing to try them.  Start by consulting a teacher or going to a learning center.  Last but not least, the best way to improve your writing skills is to write and write often.  Anytime you have a story in your head, write it down.  Practice makes perfect.

Read as much as you can. By reading the work of good writers, you will absorb some of their writing styles and structures. I recommend F. Scott Fitzgerald and the short stories of Alice Munro.  Get a good grammar book and do the exercises that teach how to write correct sentences. See if you can take a grammar course.

English (or the language you speak).  Then, you can have the ability to read and write well about any topic in the world that interests you.

Depends on context.\nIf you are learning a language the main difference it that for writing you have much more time, where for talking you have to react to your partner in conversation, and must think on your feet. \n\nThere will be differences in style, written language tends to be much more formal than spoken language, and changes are slower.\n\nAs has been pointed out before, in a conversation you have also the intonation as additional clue, reading a written text you have to imagine it.

Family Hisotry is always someting really fun to write about because you always find out something that you didnt know. Immigration is a good thing to write about also. You always want to write about something that your passionate about so that when you do come to writting it you end up writting like 3 pages and your paper is really GOOD!

Read as much as possible.  Also, University of Arkansas Press has a book "Writing Good Sentences" that is the best organized English Grammar workbook ever written.  Go to the college website to find it.  The author is a Dr. Faulkner, a professor there who invented the system while he was in the navy and the guys on the ship wanted him to teach them to write when they had spare time.

First, you really need to learn how to write.

Practice makes perfect, right? Write about topics that spark a passion in you. Learn to broaden your vocabulary so you don't sound elementary. And work on your descriptive language as well. Also be open to constructive criticism. Good Luck!

In a coherent manner, written concisely and with as few errors as one can manage.\n\nfr exampel, this izz a much harderer to reda sentecne\n[sic]\nThis sentence is much easier to read.\n\nAlso as the others said, correct and honest answers are also a must.  Politeness is another good attribute to have when answering questions, as very few people enjoy being cussed out/insulted on line.\n\nAnd for goodness' sake, I hope there aren't any spelling errors in your final posts...  there's a spell check built in to the website.

I know this may sound not too professional of an answer, but here's how it worked for me in the US. It would be a good idea to start learning topic-wise: figure out the situations you end up in most often (ordering food, discussing weather, answering things like "What's up" etc) and learn some basic things from whichever books you're using. That is very useful for a good start.\nBasically, the good thing is too realize what learning method's best for you: writing works for me, because when I write I pronounce the word, see it and use my hands (so I can even throw the Notepad away :)).\nAnyways, I don't suppose all of the above will be really helpful, but hope it was worth a try.\nFor now, the main thing is to relax and start speaking no matter how you sound or how many mistakes you make. You won't become native right from the start anyway. The more you speak, the more you learn; it's always been like that. So just relax.

Uh.  .\nAre you sure you are up to the task?\nIts nearly impossible to understand what you wrote\nNot a good quality for a teacher\nAre you considering secondary or undergraduate courses?\nCheck with your local community college (if you are in the US)\n(Is English you second language? Help people with that! that would be great!!)

Many writers have problems in these areas (and some too shy to even ask questions about these things):\n\nHow to write better dialogs.  Especially for less formal speakers.  Punctuation and paragraph structure for dialogs.  Knowing when to add and when to quit.\n\nPublishing for the first time guidelines.  Online places.  Print publishers.\n\nHow a Title can effect the entire work.  How to choose better titles.  When a sub-title might be needed.\n\nHow long does a piece need to be to get published?  How many words?  What structure?\n\nHow to turn a journal entry into a finished work.  What is usually missing.  What to leave out.\n\nOn-line helps:  Dictionaries, lexicons, rhyming dictionaries, thesauruses and other helpful references.  Where are the good ones?  Which one to avoid?

poor education.. lack of effort.. no attention to detail.. \n\nWhen you communicate in writing you convey yourself, your thoughts and your feelings. You also convey your education, your ability to focus and your attention to detail. This has been lost in written communication on the internet. It looks like people are only half-way paying attention to what they're conveying and no attention to how they're conveying it.
