About writing
From READING
Remember that writing is a process. You can only
improve the text you’re writing if you ...
Plan ahead! Think of the audience you have in mind.
Set up the purposes for your text.
Read several different texts which address the same
purposes as yours. Keep in mind that reading
supports writing. If ideas are lacking,
research about your topic. Read. Take notes. Select
quotes and references.
To WRIITING
Start writing. Write. Revise. Write again. Read for
more ideas. Go on writing. Try to count on feedback
from friends. Revise. Write the final version. Publish
it!
Consult an online dictionary.
