Five tips to write in English

TIP 1: Do keep in mind any writing, even a note to a friend, should have a structure, like the skeleton, and that greetings and connectors will be the bones to keep it straight.

TIP 2: See to find categories, like boxes to keep our ideas tidy. For instance, when talking about sports, you can refer to the ones you like and the ones you don´t, or the ones you usually do and those you would like to take up one day.

TIP 3: Avoid repetitions. The same word found in every sentence turns any writing into something uninteresting. People can be also called citizens, individuals, users, clients and so on.

TIP 4: Choose a specific number of ideas and do not improvise.  Writing requires a plan, and you can have it even before knowing the topic you will be enquired about.

TIP 5: Remember that less is more. Long relative sentences, very long periods, referring pronouns, and very colloquial words do not match easy writing.

CHILDREN LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE:

There is an important difference between children learning their first language and children learning a second language at school: second language children have already learned one language. So they bring with them to the  language classroom a great deal of experience of language, of life and many other natural abilities which help them to learn English.
