Break your written English classes into short chunks
Learning English seems, at times, like an immense task. Too big to seem solvable. As with any seemingly large task, the best way to start feeling really confident about it is to break the large task into smaller pieces. Then each piece seems lighter. When you master each piece and can suddenly compose sentences and write competently, you will feel your growth.
With clearly marked stages of preparation, you will have milestones for assessing your progress - like the end of a stage in a computer game. At some point, you realize the truth - that you CAN write in English. It's like moving to a new level - you get easily drawn in, because everyone likes to see their own progress.
It doesn't really matter which approach to writing English works best for you, the main thing is that you perceive it as nothing more than a game quest. After all, with the development of new words and the analysis of the rules, everything is the same as with a mission in a game: it did not work the first time, go back a step and try again.
Always remember that native English speakers only use 1000-1500 words in normal day to day communication. Moreover, many people use less than 1000 words and yet they can say whatever they want. You can say or write almost anything you need to say or write in English in just 700 words. And you can roughly pronounce or write over 70% of all spoken English phrases with just 300 words. The only thing left is to decide how you will go through the mission of accumulating words and developing skills to write fluently and competently on any familiar topic, and go straight to practice.
Key thoughts:
- Divide your studies into stages, topics, levels, digesting information in small pieces is easier than swallowing huge blocks of new knowledge.
- Start learning the words that are more likely to be useful in everyday life and on the exam, and then expand your vocabulary in favor of less used words and expressions.
