Writing is a medium of communication and having writing skills would help you to express ideas, opinions, and thoughts in an easy and clear way. To have the basic writing skills:
1. Learn to write in simple language. Avoid slang, fancy words and abbreviations.
2. Use paragraphs so that the readers do not get bored. The transition from one paragraph to another must happen smoothly so that there is a connection between the paragraphs.
3. Use proper punctuation, correct spellings and grammar and develop fine vocabulary.
4. Proofread and edit. Once you finish your writing, it is the time to do editing and proofreading. For instance, check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, voices, speech, and sentence formation and other errors. Also, check for commonly misused words like ‘affect’ and ‘effect’, ‘your’ and ‘you’re (you are)’, ‘its’ or ‘it’s’ (it is), 'there' or 'their', etc.
