When I teach writing skills to ESL students, one of the first things I tell them is that they need to have something interesting or valuable to say before they start writing. We all have different knowledge and experiences to share with readers. If we can write something that helps the reader learn something new, or think about something in a different way, we have done our job as writers. Because ESL students come from many countries, with different cultures and languages, they have different perspectives that will be interesting to read about.
So start with what you know!

I like writing and reading as well. Writing for me is a relaxing activity that relief my stress and at the same time help me improving my English and increases my vocabulary.

ReplyDeleteThat is so true, the most difficult thing in writing is knowing what you are going to write about. when you know what you are writing about that means your almost done, or at least it works that's how it works for me.
