How to Write a Good Article

Last week, I failed my English wiring test again. I am very sad. How to write a good article? Do you have any advice?

Writing is to express your thought through language. Here we have to pay attention to key things: language and thought. For a successful writing activity to happen, both are necessary. When writing in our mother tongue, we spend almost no time in considering language. But when writing in a foreign language, we have to learn the language well. So it is the most important to learn the vocabulary (词汇) and grammar of this language before you write.

-By He Yun

Of course, it is necessary to learn the language well, but when you begin to learn to write, that's to say, you have already got familiar (熟悉) with the vocabulary and grammar, and can express simple ideas in this language. So you have to pay attention to the ideas: what do you want to express in the article? You have to think how to choose the materials well first, and then think about how to organize them well before writing.

-By Zhou Jian

I had a similar experience to you. Two years ago, I never passed my writing test. But now my teacher often praises me for my writing. Maybe my advice is useful for you. I used to find it difficult to write complete sentences, so I paid special attention to usages of common words and sentence patterns. Then I made my own sentences like them. And I kept diaries in English every day, which helped me a lot.
