Genuine written skills can be built based on the precision of your spoken ones

2022年5月6日

G'day mate. What are you up to? What I'm gonna be touching on is "Genuine written skills can be built based on the precision of your spoken ones". What do I mean by that? Well, without further ado, let's begin.

My understanding of "Genuine written skills" is that there is absolutely no necessity of looking up on a dictionary, and you can write a variety of grammatical sentences freely as you vocally or sub-vocally speak, which means that what you are writing down right now is associated with the thing you are talking about. You don't need to write sentences in a very professional and academic tone, but they've got to be as natural as possible. In my view, having the ability to use simple words with the precision and appropriateness in any realm is far more important and critical than just knowing big words and abusing them imprecisely and inappropriately.

Yes, indeed, many English learners would like to get the most out of their vocabulary knowledge in daily lives, which is undeniably one of the most important learning processes. However, learning how to use words precisely and appropriately is also the key to success as to whether you could ameliorate English abilities much more quickly and effectively. So, just calm down a little bit even if you are eager to show off your vocabulary. In the meantime, what you can do is talking to yourself instead of succumbing to the flirtation with doing online Eikaiwa.

Written skills cannot be built without practising speaking. As I said earlier, yes you can like you consult a dictionary for the meaning and usage of words, and you try to write sentences based on your grammar knowledge along with the information stemming from the dictionary. But the sentences you are trying to write are often likely to be off or unclear. The reason being is not using your own genuine word, in other words, that is "artificial sentences". It's hard to use the word directly from the dictionary unless you've fully understood the precision and appropriateness of how the word should be used. Like, collocation, word choice, grammar rules, and so on.

In conclusion, you need to write sentences as you speak like talking to yourself. If you cannot write spoken languages, then you cannot be proficient in writing. Everyone could write artificial sentences without spoken skills, but that is not genuine written skills. So, my best advice for those who wanna be good at writing is to practise writing down any sentence as you self-talk. And, you can analyse how precise and appropriate you could spell and write whatever you wanna say without relying on a dictionary.
