Regardless of (不管) whether English is your first language, you won't make a good impression if you can't write well. 【小题1】 To improve your written English, learn the rules for correct grammar and punctuation (标点符号) and thoroughly proofread your written work. A large vocabulary will also help your writing stand out. Above all, be willing to practice every day and put in the work to build strong English writing skills.

Expand (扩大) Your Vocabulary

You'd better read books written in English. Books and magazines can introduce you to new words, provided you pay attention to the words and look up the ones you don't know rather than skipping over them. 【小题2】 Read the whole definition (释义) for the word, and think about how the author is using it in context (背景) . You may consider doing crossword puzzles to practice vocabulary. Crossword puzzles give you an opportunity to learn new words, as well as recall words you've learned and think about different contexts and meanings of words you already know.

【小题3】

To improve grammar, you should never ignore the importance of reading out your writing loud. Grammar and punctuation (标点符号) errors stand out when you read your writing out. As you read, pay attention to where you pause and make sure your punctuation reflects those pauses. Read the whole piece from beginning to end, looking at how the sentences flow together. You'd better also spend much time studying word usage to get the hang of grammar and punctuation. There are many websites that have free grammar and word usage lessons, tips, and exercises. 【小题4】

Develop Good Writing Habits

Use a conversational writing style. The most readable writing is that written in the way people talk. So keep your sentence structure simple, and use mostly common, ordinary words that most people know. And remember to outline longer or more complex pieces. If you're writing something longer than a paragraph, or if you need to make several different points, an outline will help you organize your thoughts. 【小题5】. That is because you won't be worried about forgetting something. Lastly, read over everything you write, even something as short as a text message. Over time, you'll notice an improvement in your first drafts.

I’m definitely a morning person. I’ve realized how much I can actually get done first things in the morning, between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. That, for me, is the sweet spot. I honestly get more done in those two hours than I often do the rest（其余的）of the day. I’ve developed a habit that helps me be productive（效率）and it includes what I call the law（定律）of first things. This same law is followed by people far more productive than I am, including Bill Gates, Howard Schultz and Jeff Bezos.

Essentially, the law of first things says that whatever you do when you first get up in the morning influences your productivity for the rest of the day. For many of the most productive people，that first thing is often not work. And it shouldn’t be for you either.

Let’s consider the morning habits of these highly productive people. Bill Gates says he starts his day on the treadmill(跑步机)，watching educational DVDs. Howard Schultz likes to get up early to exercise, often cycling, before getting started with work. Jeff Bezos, famously, prefers to not have business meetings until around 10 a.m., instead, he makes time for other things at home first.

Most of us get out of bed, pick up our phone and immediately start reading emails or our news feeds. That means that from the moment we wake up, we’re already responding(回应) to the outside world instead of creating space for ourselves to allow our bodies and our minds to practice.

That space matters, and whatever you do first sets the direction you go throughout your day. If that thing is responding to an email from someone who feels it is important, you may never get back to the important things you need to do. You should start your day with something other than work. You might end up surprised by how much you get done.
