TIPS HOW TO IMPROVE IN ENGLISH
EPISODE 1: How My Friend Overcame Struggles with English Essays
I had a friend in high school who was really good at everything, except
writing essays in English. He struggled with grammar, sentence structure,
and sometimes even understanding the essay question. One time, he almost
gave up on an essay because it felt too hard. He thought his lack of English
skills were holding him back.
Seeing him struggle, I decided to give him some advice. I shared a few
simple strategies that helped me with my own writing, and over time, I saw a
big improvement in his essays.
Essay Tips for English Learners
1. Break the Essay into Small Parts
I told him that instead of thinking about writing the whole essay at once, he
could break it into smaller tasks. Like focusing on writing just one paragraph
at a time. This made the process less overwhelming.
2. Use Simple Sentences
He was trying to write long, complicated sentences that often confused him. I
suggested he start with simple, clear sentences. This made it easier to get
his point across and helped with grammar.
3. Use Online Tools
I introduced him to tools like Grammarly. These helped him check his
grammar, fix mistakes, and improve sentence structure. He found them
really useful in catching things he missed.
4. Read and Write in English Every Day
I encouraged him to read more books and articles in English. I also suggested
he practice writing short passages or summaries. It helped him get used to
common sentence structures and vocabulary.
5. Ask for Help
I told him to ask for feedback from teachers, classmates, or even me. Getting
feedback showed him where he was going wrong and helped him improve
faster.
6. Focus on the Main Idea
When he was confused by essay questions, I advised him to underline key
words in the prompt. This way, he could focus on the main idea and stay on
track.
