English Language Writing

Language is critical in expressing one's thoughts and emotions in words. Living in Singapore, a global city state where English is the main language of communication, I am obliged to have a good command of English. Furthermore, English being an international language puts pressure on me to pursue a stronger command of the language. Writing in English is increasingly becoming essential in relaying one's thoughts and information in today's world. From emails to books of all genres, good writing skills ensure clarity and puts one in a better position in their arguments.

English writing plays an integral role in university education regardless of faculty. From scientific reports to argumentative essays to dissertation having a good writing skill ensures for a greater accuracy and certainly can make a difference and distinguishes a good paper from a bad.

My past experience of writing arts essays in particular, structure and organisation of points play huge roles in ensuring a more comprehensible piece.

English writing will be much needed when it comes to writing my resume to a potential employer. It will also aid me in planning my daily routine at work, preparing presentations/speeches as well as writing reports if required.  I see myself as an educator in the near future and I am aware that I need to write effectively so that I can communicate well and impart knowledge appropriately to my students.  I believe firmly that a good writer is a good speaker because if you practise good writing, you will always ensure that the grammatical and linguistic aspect of English is as accurate as possible. Hence, one will be more careful of how and what he/she speaks.
