Could we improve our writing skills only by writing notebook entries daily?

I would suggest rewriting notes that you wrote down in class. If you rewrite the notes, they make more sense.

Hi Sumit, Writing notebook entries is definitely one way to improve. When other members correct your errors, you will start to notice if most of your mistakes are due to punctuation, spelling, tenses or sentence structure errors. In addition, you will soon notice that some English words collocate (they are often used together). Using collocations make your writing appear more natural and sound more natural when it is being read. I would say that reading should be done too. Read from a variety of sources such as the newspapers and reputable magazines such as National Geographic, Time and so on to examine their style of writing. Do not read passively. As you read, take note of their use of punctuation , writing style, vocabulary words and so on. Read with an active intent. I always get my students to write their essays, edit and submit a second draft. Perhaps you can gather feedback from italki members, and rewrite on the same topic again, post it again and see if the number of corrections becomes fewer. It certainly takes up more of your time, but you will reap the benefits. Let the writing begin! Cheers, Lance

Your general writing skills - yes, if you rewrite your entries without mistakes after they have been corrected. This is a simple exercise but it works! If you are trying to improve some specific writing skills, like writing essays for exams, then you might need to ask for some professional help there.

Of the 4 broad activities of language learning: speaking, writing, listening, and reading; 2 are active (speaking and writing), and the other 2 passive (listening and reading). Ignore none, but throw weight towards the active ones.

Thank you for giving the response, I have already set off to read newspapers and its editorial so that we can enhance my English. I also have decided to write a notebook entry daily so that it can be more useful in learning English. I also make my podcast of reading newspaper, use to watch it and try to improve my mistakes. Is it sufficient to learn English? Please, let me know by commenting. Thank you once again.
