A few tips to enhance your writing: In order to improve your writing in general, there are a few things you need to consider. 1 First off and as you may already know, if you want to write, then you need to have and know a lot of vocabulary. The way you can do that is through reading. Reading is critical for any writer. The one who does not read cannot write. As the saying goes: a good reader is a good writer. So it is very important that you read a lot. It is not that important what you read. You can read about the things that catch your attention. And the more you read about your attentions and interests, the more knowledge you will have about them. And when you have a lot of information and knowledge about something, then that will automatically push you to start writing your own writings. Simply put, reading is a very useful tool to broaden and widen your bank account of information and knowledge. 2 The second thing is that you have to write something everyday; a paragraph, a short article, a short story... whatever. Again, it doesn't matter what you write about. Write about dreams, friends, your future life, your studies... Every day, you should write something to get yourself familiar with writing and to make it one of your daily habits and activities. One of the best ways to improve your writing is writing itself. 3 Take it easy. I know that so many of us or maybe almost all of us want to learn to speak or write in English perfectly, but perfection should not be your main goal at all because probably you won't become perfect for quite a long time. In the beginning, your main goal should be how to get your ideas across in an understandable way, and with time, of course, you will improve. You don't have to be perfect in the beginning. Every expert in any field was once a beginner. Said another way: a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. By Abaas

4 simple tips you can apply today to improve your English: 1 Get yourself a good dictionary. By a good dictionary I mean an English-English dictionary. Every day, you will encounter new words. To explain and know their meaning you need a dictionary. Dictionaries also include the phonetic transcription of words. This phonetic transcription, if you know the IPA, shows you exactly how to pronounce any word. So, a dictionary will not only help you find the meaning of new words, but also it will help you learn the correct pronunciation of those words. 2 Make sure that you learn something new every day. If you want to have a good level in English, you have to be consistent in learning. This means that you have to make sure that you are getting new input every day because learning a language is a lifelong process. If you stop learning, you will plateau. One way you can avoid that is to try to learn something new every day. It can be new words, a grammar point, an idiom or expression...etc. 3 Watch at least one video per a day. If you find learning English through reading textbooks boring, videos are another alternative to improve your English. This points out to the importance of recognizing your learning style. This basically means that when you don't learn much through a certain a method, then it is not for you and it doesn't suit your learning style. Thus, you need to change it and find a better one. Watching videos, however, seems to work and suit almost everyone, especially now that we are living in a digital world. 4 Speak a little English every day and focus on your pronunciation. Consider attending an English class or a discussion group. Listen to English on the radio or TV, and be sure to read and write as well. Train yourself to think in English and don't be afraid of making mistakes. You know, as it is always said: from mistakes we learn. Practice, practice, and practice. If you don't practice, don't expect to speak English well. By Abaas

Having a native-like accent is not that important. What maters is to be able to pronounce words correctly and make your message understood. Your accent does not have to be perfect, and if you are too obsessed with perfecting your accent, then you are putting a lot of pressure and unnecessary burden on yourself. When your interlocutor understands you, there's nothing more important than that. If you understand each other, that's the objective. One thing you should be aware of is that your accent will always be influenced by your mother tongue. So, having a one hundred percent native-like accent is nearly impossible, which is totally OK. However, this doesn't mean that you don't have to work on the way you speak at all. The idea being is that you don't have to worry too much about your accent and that having a perfect accent should not be your most important goal. Your main goal should be having a good level at using the language and doing so with a good and clear pronunciation. Once you master these things and once you have control over grammar, vocabulary, and correct pronunciation, then you can work on perfecting your accent, which is not necessary. Once again, if you want to have a better accent or you want to sound more like a native speaker, you can work on that after having mastered the language itself: correct pronunciation and good command over grammar and vocabulary.

3 important tips to learn a new language successfully: 1 Learn the basics first. You cannot learn a language without knowing its basics unless you live in an environment where this language is used all the time. But in most cases, it is difficult to find such environment. If you want to build a house, you need to start with a strong base. That's because everything will be built on that base, and so if the base is not strong enough, then everything will fall apart-- the whole stuff will come down. The same principle should be applied when learning a new language; you need to have your base strongly and correctly built. 2 Don't skip any level. Learning any language is a step-by-step process. You may think that starting with difficult and complex lessons will help you learn faster. But I assure you and guarantee you that it doesn't help. It is just a waste of time. Our minds are designed to learn things in order. I see many people trying hard to learn English, but they find it difficult, that's because learning a new language requires learning in order, step by step, level by level. 3 Keep it simple. Learning a whole new language can be overwhelming if you are not careful with what you learn and how you learn. You don't have to know all the English vocabulary. You don't have to learn all the idioms or the phrasal verbs that English has. Don't force yourself to learn things that you may not even need. You have to keep things simple especially in the beginning. Don't try to learn so many complicated words that don't at all match with your level. Instead, try to shift your focus to the most common words and expressions that are used in daily speech of your target language. By Abaas

Wondering how reading a book can help you? Often times, new readers expect too much of themselves after the first book they read. They think that just reading one book about a certain field or discipline would make them experts, which is not realistic at all. Reading one book once will not have much to offer. Even if the book deals with an issue exhaustively, you cannot assimilate all the content in one reading. To put it differently, the more you read the same book, especially when it deals with an issue that is multidimensional, the more you allow yourself the opportunity to discover, look at, and consider the content from various perspectives. In this way, you are expanding your knowledge and deepening your understanding of the field you are targeting. Reading is important, but how we do it is even of more importance. By Abaas

Sometimes, because of a certain minor event, we fail to recognize the bigger picture of our life. This event, although it is minor and has little or almost no actual impact, if it is perceived as being of great impact, the result is that it leaves us with psychological scars. If we ignore the event in the first place and perceive it as being of little significance, we always become able to recognize the bigger picture of our life. What does this " the bigger picture of our life " mean? We can experience it when we recognize all the blessings we already have; it is our ability to see the positive side of things; the ability to focus on the full half of the glass rather than the empty half. Of course negative and unfair events happen, but these events can have little or almost no actual impact on us if we turn our attention to the positive side of life and ignore the negative one as much as possible. Indeed, some part of us tempts us to count and pay more attention to our problems rather than our happiness; so often we start counting our problems and weaknesses that we fail to give our happiness no consideration. The secret to live happier thus is to shift our attention from counting our problems to counting the blessings we already have. This of course doesn't mean that we should be mediocre. What it really means is to appreciate what we already have and build on it to reach what we seek to have. Much of what we experience in life - good or bad - depends on our perception of the world around us; how we perceive it has great impact on us. By Abaas

As a student, can you come up with a mistake-free piece of writing? In my humble opinion, that's quite demanding and challenging. Even when you compose a piece of writing that you would consider to be perfect, leave it for a while, come back later, and read it. You will be surprised by the fact that you failed to notice and correct many mistakes. Some of these mistakes may be silly and to which you would wonder why you did not notice them before. That's a common thing. So, there is always room for making changes and refining that piece of writing. I am not referring here only to grammar and spelling mistakes. This is not to say that these are not important. Indeed, they are the sort of mistakes you need to be more cautious about, for they can greatly affect your score. Yet, they are not the only type of mistakes you need to pay attention to while and after writing. We can extend the circle to encompass cohesion, coherence, style, unity, clarity, and many other aspects. The point here is that you should always be willing to revise and refine your first draft as much as possible, taking into consideration the situation, of course. Revising and making improvements on the first draft is what good writers do. That's something you need to bear in mind whenever writing is involved because you can never trust your first draft.

Mortimer Adler, an American philosopher, said that the path of true learning is strewn with rocks, not roses. This of course means that learning is not an easy task. I believe, we can apply and relate this view or perspective roughly to anything in our lives. Whatever endeavor we want to pursue, it requires lots of efforts to be put into it. You cannot simply want something and have it done for you without any efforts or sacrifices of different kinds. Patience, consistency, hard work, and many other things are all variables of the equation. So, my advice for everyone, myself included, who is in pursuit of a goal would be the following: believe in yourself, be patient, and always be ready to withstand the pain of whatever life may throw at you, because in overcoming that pain lies a great deal of pleasure and happiness.

It's very important to think out of the box. Do crazy things. Do new things, even those you think you hate. Make mistakes, but don't make the same ones over and over. If you keep doing what's always easy, never challenge yourself, never try something that scares you... you will not live and feel the feeling of feeling that you are truly alive. Learn to do things that you think aren't for you, things that always seemed to be out of your reach. Your life is too short to waste it doing what's easy, doing the same thing day after day thinking that there are not great things you can do. Try to make some changes on your belief-system. Your belief-system have brought you to where you are now and made you who you are now and directed you to achieve what you have achieved. If you are not satisfied with where you are , who you are and what you have achieved... time has come to change your belief-system. When I say your belief-system, I am referring to all the things you believe to be true about yourself whether they are so or not. Time has come to take the curtain off your eyes so you can see what you could not see your whole life. Time has come to believe again, to dream again , to hope again and to make things happen. When you take the limits off you, you get a new set of eyes to see everything in a totally different way and you start to have much more and better understanding about what you can become and what you can achieve and most importantly you get to find out that you are more than capable of doing great things, ones that -- at some point -- you thought you would never be able to do.
