Week 1 - Process Writing

English language is such as the Achilles' heel of a large part of Spanish population. I actually wonder why... We have studied it since we have use of reason!

That is why I would like to ask a question about this topic. Where the fault lies? Is it the student's fault? Is the education system's guilt? Or maybe are not teachers used to focusing on the main aspects of the language? Be that as it may, improving our English level is always necessary and possible. In fact, it is close at hand. Furthermore, I am going to write about my own techniques to progress my writing correctly.

First of all, I strongly believe that it is necessary to study grammar and vocabulary. People sometimes think on it as a boring part of the language, however, it is crucial in order to apply your knowledge in both writing and speaking.  Moreover, it will help your with your skills. Luckily, we are able to find a lot of different textbooks, and I would like to recommend Essential Grammar in use, English Grammar In use or Advance Grammar in use depending on your current level because of their ease of understanding and effective exercises with solutions. 

Secondly, reading is also considerably important not only in a foreign language but also in your mother tongue. As George R.R. Martin said once, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never reads lives only one". Personally, I think it is totally true. Why reading? This activity develops your verbal abilities and improves your memory as well as you are able to discover new structures and vocabulary. From my point of view, my piece of advice is: Read whatever you enjoy, but read. Bit by bit, it will produce significant results.

Finally, I would like to write about my funniest advices in order to improve your English level: Apart from watching movies and tv shows, listening to music is also necessary to attune the ear to the language. Furthermore, some famous American series such as Friends and How I met your mother among others are reasonably useful and helpful  by cause of their simple language along with they are enjoyable!

To sum up, as I told at the begining, learning English is really close at hand and, trusting yourself and having patience are the basic elements to improve your writing as well as studying hard. Decisively, I hope that these tools I use are favorable to you all! Long life to English!
