My third comment

I had a hard time completing my composition.

Are there some ways to enhance writing skills ?

Hi, Derek.
What about writing a diary at least twice a week? It will be helpful.

Hi, Derek.
I think the most important thing you should do is reading a lot of books or newspapers.
I think it will help you a lot.
Bye.

Hi, Derek.
I don't think writhing is only skill. Everyone lived and are living a unique and complicated life. If you look at your life with warm heart,you'll collect material to write. I think content is more important. I'm sorry my advice is so abstract.

Hi, Derek
I do agree with Joseph and Bessie's idea. Yes, writing a diary and reading many books are very important. And one more thing. When you write about something, try to be honest and frank to you yourself. Calm down, relax and think about it carefully. Then true writing will come from your inside.

Hi Derek,

I have also the same problem which you have now. I am trying to find the answer.

Anyway, Since I came here, I am keeping a diary everyday in English. Actually, I have improved a little. Why don't you try to keep a diary in English?

Hi Derek,
I think that this is a question that a lot of trainees are thinking about these days. The old expression, "Praactice makes perfect" comes to mind. So I agree with the other comments.
I'm a writer (as a hobby) and the more I write, the easier it becomes but if you stop, even for a short time, you loose your mommentum.

Dear Derek,
How are you doing?
I would like to share your agony with me.
I too am worried about developing my composition.
But relax yourself.
Why don't you remember a good English editorial published in the Korea Times?
And some time later if you try to write the content correctly, your composition ability will be improves soon, I believe.
good luck!
Goodbye.

Reading many books and writing many times would be very helpful.

On Friday we have a journal writing class. Even it's free writing class, I don't like that time. It makes me very nervous because when I write I have a lot of thinkings and ideas. Those thinking distract me a lot during my writing. And also English problems like poor vocabulary, wrong sentences, developing ideas wrongly. So now I'm using a mind-mapping or brainstorming before I write according to Reggie's advice. I think it helps me somehow. I hope we can improve our writing in the end.
