Hi.

Not a teacher.

When speaking, you can use nodding and body language to convey the meaning, but in writing you cannot.

I highly recommend you to implement the grammar rules into writing.Unfortunately, many non-native English teachers consider writing as backseat.You can write small paragraphs which consist of 100 words then you will be able to write 250 words and above,but more importantly, You should expand your vocabulary by learning advanced vocabulary and extreme adjectives.Remember, all four skills in English can foster your writing.There are many distinguished teachers here who can help you if you need help.

Thanks for giving me [STRIKE]many[/STRIKE] lots of advice. [STRIKE]for me.[/STRIKE] I t[STRIKE]hought I don't[/STRIKE] don't think I really have [STRIKE]enough quantity of[/STRIKE] a large enough vocabulary because I'm not good at memorizing [STRIKE]vocabulary[/STRIKE] words. (Space after a full stop) Can you share your methods with me?(Just one space after a question mark) Thank you.

Note my corrections above. It's important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Don't put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

My advice for helping with vocabulary is, when you spot a new word, look it up in a standard English dictionary to get the definition (if you don't understand it, then look for a translation of the word into your native language). Once you are sure you understand the definition, learn a short sentence containing the word so that you will remember at least one context in which it is used. Simply trying to memorise a list of individual words doesn't work for most people.
