The same is true for practicing writing English. Practice writing English, it sounds scary,
but nothing good is easy, right? Everything is difficult before starting to do, then you will
find it is not as difficult as I thought. Today, let's learn some basic English writing tips for
beginners!
1. The benefits of practicing writing English
Most of us when learning English are afraid to write. If we do not have to take the IELTS
writing test or are required, we almost never sit down to write a complete English article
even though we learn vocabulary and communicate daily. If you are not in the habit of
practicing writing English, then hopefully reading this article by accident or purpose will
be a fresh start for this skill.
What does English writing practice help us with?
• Practicing writing English helps you remember things better. Especially memorizing
English vocabulary. When you listen, speak, read, and write down what you have
learned, you will surely remember it better. That's why all good English learning books
recommend that we learn both skills in English together.
• Practice writing English to help you speak better. There are probably many times when
you are confused when you do not know which words to use when practicing
communication, writing practice slows down that process. You will have time to choose
your words and expressions and express yourself through your own writing style. Writing
is the process of preparing content for speaking.
• English writing practice allows you to try new things. There's no pressure to write, no
one is listening, and you can edit until you're satisfied. That gives you the freedom to try
new things and experiment with new words and sentence structures.

writing in Vietnamese as usual, you just need to replace it in English.

statuses, diaries or even love letters. Using English to complete a task will give you
motivation and get used to writing in English.
2.2. Advanced writing practice with a blog
Don't rush through when you see the word "blog". It may sound scary, especially for
those of you who are not interested in literature, but in reality this is not such a big deal.
According to statistics, in March 2019, there are at least 500 million blogs in the world,
just imagine almost half of China's population are bloggers.
You also don't need to care about traffic or what others think, it's like a space for
yourself.
You can write anything on your blog, it doesn't have to be anything too macro and
academic. You can practice writing English by topic, or it can just be writing down one
day of the week, how you quarreled with your best friend, or why pandas sleep so much,
etc. as long as it makes you feel good. interest. And make sure you write everything in
English!
2.3. Build outline – outline for the article
When you are familiar with writing in English, start practicing with articles with specific
topics and build a scientific outline.

It is not without reason that you were always advised to have an outline when writing in
school. Even professional writers rarely write anything without an outline. Before you put
pen to paper, sketch out what you plan to write.
2.4. Build your vocabulary list
You should have a list of your own words and structures, if you come across good
expressions or vocabulary, you should also write them down and use them when needed.
For example, your list might include:
• Some words and phrases can replace "bad": adverse, poor quality, harmful, immoral,
decayed, severe, sick, ...)
• Some linking words and phrases show contradiction: despite, on the contrary,
conversely, notwithstanding,...
Before writing you can cross out the words related to the topic and their synonyms. Note
to be flexible in word usage, do not use a word too many times in the lesson.
