Why is writing in English important to you? What are some examples of English language writing that you will do in your university education?How will writing in English be important in your future career?

    Personally, I think writing is the primary basis upon which your work, your learning, and your intellect will be judged. Quality of writing affects how your knowledge is conveyed to others and from that others will judge you and your works. In my field of study of real estate, there are a lot of group project reports and most of my examinations are actually based on writing essays. Even if I have studied sufficiently for the examinations, my lack of good writing skills put me at a disadvantage as it may adversely affect how my contents of my essays are organized and therefore how my essays or reports are graded by the lecturers.

    

     I started to look on tips on the internet on how to improve on my writing. I started writing every day on the first few days before examinations by practicing on past year examinations questions or tutorials. I also tried to read extensively on news relating to real estate or any major news when I have the time to do so. However, my writing did not seem to improve by much and I also still got mental block during my writing.    

     

    I think one of few things that I never take account of during my writing practice is to take note of the time I used to write an essays or answer a question. Hence, I tend to panic and have a slight mental block when my time was running short. However, my practice benefited me if the questions in the examinations are similar to those I practiced. 

   

 One of the ways that I can clear my mind block is to clear my mind of all the distractions like the time on the clock or the furious writing of others in the examination hall. When I cannot think of any new ideas, I can just write instead stopping on one question or one topic or worrying what to write.
