Do you write every day? Do you write in English every day? A great way to improve your English is to write a little bit in English every day. A writer knows that he has to write every day – and it’s not always easy. It’s the same thing for a person who wants to learn a new language. You have to write a little every day, even if your writing contains a mistake or two. Even if what you write contains just one line or one sentence, such as “It’s a beautiful day today”, you will be helping yourself to better English. Making a comment on a blog is another good way to write.
Some people want others to correct them when they make a mistake. Others don’t like to be corrected. Do you like to be corrected? If not, why not? How do you feel when you are corrected? Do you feel embarrassed or do you welcome the correction as the way to better English?
If you want to be corrected, you may have to ask people to please correct you because they may be uncomfortable doing it. They may think that you do not want to be corrected! Letting them know that you do will resolve that misunderstanding and everybody will be happier and better off in the end.
After a person has corrected you, do you repeat the correct sentence aloud? Repeating the correct word or phrase or sentence will help you in the future.
“Everyday” is an adjective, such as “It is an everyday occurrence.” Otherwise, separate into two words: “Write every day.”
Eugene,
Thank you so much for your correction.
Within the blog post itself, I write “every day” as separate words. You were correct in noticing that the title, which was “Write Everyday” when you made your comment, was incorrect. I have now corrected it.
Comments such as yours are welcome any time!
Jane
