Whether English is your native language or not, it can never hurt to improve your writing skills. Fortunately, you don't have to do too much in order to see an improvement.

Top Tips for Improving your Writing in English

Read. It's surprising how much you pick up without realising it. This is probably the best thing you can do to improve your writing, and is suggested by teachers of English as a second language and famous novelists alike. Try and stretch yourself by reading books that are slightly more difficult than you're used to. For example, if you like horror stories, try reading classic Gothic novels like Dracula or Frankenstein (you might want to avoid The Castle of Otranto, though, because that's an endurance test for anyone).

Get feedback on your writing. Most teachers are happy to help students who show a genuine desire to learn and improve their writing. If it's academic writing that you're worried about, try writing practice essays (you don't even have to write whole ones; a good paragraph now and then will be enough) and ask a teacher to look over them with you.

Don't be afraid to ask for guidance. If you don't understand why a sentence is wrong, it's best to ask and have it explained to you. This way, you'll be able to improve on it for next time.

Take regular breaks from learning. Not only does this help your brain to absorb the information and improve concentration, but it also stops the work seeming so daunting. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by something if you approach it all in one go.

Be patient. Improving your English writing is a gradual process, so don't worry if you don't notice the results right away. Keep at it, and don't give up!

There are many ways to improve your writing skills. Fitting in some writing everyday will help you to improve. Try to put some time aside every evening or whenever you have time and do a bit of writing, even if it is only half an hour or so. Read books to gain inspiration and study how other authors tackle plots and characters.

You could also subscribe to a writing magazine, as they usually contain lots of tips on writing. Join a writers' group so that you can share your writing techniques with others.

The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook is packed with different ways of tackling all types of genres, as well as successful authors' experiences with writing. It also contains contact information for different writers' societies and other services, which you may find useful.

The best way is to read,or ask for help. Use words that make everything seem more interesting and put the reader or yourself into the story,make them see the setting for example "It was a foggy october morning. I woke up around seven from strange noises in the kitchen. After a while I decided to see what was in there when suddenly,A giant mouse ran across my toes! Then out of the fog appeared an old women dressed in rags,she told me not to scream but I was scared." See,mix it up a little bit! It sounds much better compared to this "it was a day and I woke up. I heard a noise in the room over there. I went in and a thing ran across the room.Then a person told me to shut up but it was weird yea" same story just not as exciting,get it? Try to feel interested in the story instead of no connection. The reader may get bored if you don't make it interesting. I've seen people fall asleep during somebody's story because it was so boring!! So tips 1.make it interesting 2. Don't run on and on 3. Stay connected to the story 4. Have fun. Best of luck to you!
