Hello Kate, First of all as far as I remember we talked first and then we learned how to write the words we could say. We were (usually) already putting them together in speech. If you have to do a longer piece of writing then I would make a plan first of all the things you want to say. Then organise your plan into paragraphs and then write it. Write things regularly on here and read people's corrections and learn from them. Like anything, the only way to get better is to practise. Bob

Thanks for your comment. I took a look this website. It's very helpful. I hope I can become a good English writer base it.

When I was in school in the USA, you learn to write essays the simple way in middle school. I forget the details, but they show you to start with an introduction paragraph, and in that paragraph,you have the first sentence which should capture the attention of the reader. Then in that introduction paragraph, you have to have a so called thesis, which is, a sentence that states the point you're trying to make. When I was a kid, I hated this word because I had such a hard time writing a thesis. Anyway, then they show you to start an argument on your first paragraph, 2nd paragraph, etc, and then you have a conclusion. You do this many, many times so when you get to high school, you can write bigger papers. However, if you're a good writer, some high schools have what they call creative writing classes, so you can enroll in these classes and even become a better writer. But it all starts early on, step by step. Here is a summary of something similar I learned way back when i was very young: http://bit.ly/1M7sItJ
