The best way of improving your writing is by reading and responding to the reading by writing. You seem to be at an advanced level, so you can start by reading opinion essays and writing your responses to the points of views expressed. Make sure to write in a word processor with spell checker and pay attention to your mistakes so you can avoid making them in the future.

Hi,
To begin with,the title is misspelt. Writting is so typical a mistake (hardly any of my pupils has never made it) that I had to mention it in my rule on participles.
Dina, the more you write, the better. Copy texts, do exercises in writing rather than orally and let your hand - along with your eyes- remember spellings. Why not use motor memory?

Regards

Hi everybody,

I would like to thank for your efforts to answer me as quick as possible.
As far as i am concerned i recently start reading some novels in order to improve my english, furthermore i do some writting essays just to see if i respect punction and also to follow the general practices in writting.
Is anyone know a website or whatever a forum in which i can publish some essays in order to be corrected by people (e.g teachers ) ?

Thank and have a nice day
