How to improve your writing skills in English? There is no short-cut to improve your writing. The key answer to this question is practice. Before you start it, make a plan for your day by day practice. Firstly, find an interesting topic, something you can talk about. This theme needs to be simple when you first try, because you don't want to get into a political or medical discussion right away as you are not even familiar with that in Chinese. A good suggestion is to begin with a short paragraph of describing an object. It is much easier than a discussion. Secondly, do not set up an unreachable goal. 80 to 100 words at one time are good enough. You can also continue the same topic as last time, but give out more examples to support same discussion, or you can change your argument to the opposite side. At last, learn from others. Find some good writings. The ideal case is that search some articles talking about the some topic as you practiced. Try to inmate how they elaborate their opinions and what they use to support their discussions. If you really like a certain style of writing, then memorize that and use the new words and phrases you learn in your future practice.
