For writing skills, write journals everyday. Write whatever comes to your mind, before going to bed or as soon as you wake up.

Read articles to polish your writing skills. Read 10-15 quotations and phrases everyday.

Work on your grammar. Practice a lot. Do exercises based on tenses, punctuations, articles, reported speech, etc.

(Refer to books:-

English Grammar & Composition .or

Arihant's General English)

Read books, to develop an imagination, to express better, to polish your vocabulary. (By "Books"

Watch English News Channels, it develops a better understanding of the language.

For vocabulary, take a note of any new word you come across,

Look for it's meaning in the dictionary. Make sentences using it.

Hi dear Samar!The more you read the better you will write. You also need to be familiar with the language syntax to write comprehensible sentences. you can try the PDF books spread on the internet. I really rocommend that you read books such as " How to Teach Writing by Jeremay Harmer, and in a far advanced level you can read a book in linguistics in general such as " Introduction to Text Linguistics by  R. de Beaugrande and W. Dressler".If you fell short to find these books contact me and I will try to provide you an access to them.kind regards,Bashar Farran

Thanks for the invite,

Like the other language skills, writing skills can be improved through practice and more practice - be it through the online tutorials or other methods of learning.

Yes, you can. Generally, learning any language considers all aspects of it, such as reading, speaking, writing. It all goes together.

Just keep in mind, every learning process is long and demanding. Dont expect the result over night.

well ,this is possible but not sufficient. In my opinion , it would be better to show your work to someone else who has more experience and may help you to improve your writing and correct your mistakes ; though there is nothing wrong with online tutorials , ther information are not totally reliable .

You learn something by doing it more therefore it is possible to learn English writing by yourself and checking your writing with a program. See your mistakes and work on them.Online tutorials are not always useful since they provide an overload of information you don't really need so my advice is to learn the language by yourself; that way you know your strengths, weaknesses and your improvements.
