- don't worry about accent

How to improve?

Increase exposure to English (avoid translating)
Use academic language
Practice as much as you can (practicing alone is not enough)
Evaluate yourself (find the answer)

Record yourself if you don't have scoring partner


You can draw instead of write an outline

Use indent consistently
All the information is writen in the passage (reading), instruction (writing)

Tips:

Try to write equally in writing (8-9 words in a line)

Today's Feeling #1

 Well, this story is about myself after months passed haha.  Before my birthday last year, I got introduced by my mom's friend to a stranger that I didnt know before. At first I hardly deny his present until I talk to Allah in my pray. I thought Allah gave me signal to be opener to him until last night he stated to stop our introductory (lol)  Have you ever consider the other feeling? I tried so hard to be more flexible into you, I tried to throw all the bad things about you and then you got me into this state? is it fair?  Ok, you are still in love with you ex but, how come you say it when you met my parent and vice versa?  should I close my heart again to another men?
