I have to disagree with you.
TS,
I find that it may be important for you to pick up those grammar books if you worry about grammars. Look up what is preposition, what is conjunction, what is present tense, past tense, future tense, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect, continuous etc.
I had had a bad working experience. (Is it sentence correct?)

Yup, improve from things like this.
Get to understand how each tenses work.
When everything is ready, then you start to read up other people works, newspaper, article etc. Choose something you will like so that you can hold your interest on and keep on reading. Then, try to read more variety of works, preferably from many sources. Try to identify any mistake if you can. Slowly build up the sentence. Underline/highlight some useful nice sentence, so that you can follow the structure for your further writing.
It's not that scary to write an essay even if you did not write one before. As long as you know how to write, then there is no problem.
If you think following the above poster's comment that is to write and write without caring about grammars is alright, then I have to say you will take a longer way to achieve what you want.
To build a house, you need pillars. No house comes without pillars. If you just keep on build your houses without pillars, one day it will fall. And what, you need to rebuild it, together with the pillars.
Added on September 9, 2009, 12:56 amAbove is about grammars. As for vocabularies, more readings will help.
ok... i did mean to disagree with u tan. It is acceptable with what u posted. I mean, Im targeting from the poster's problem - writing not more than 350words. Most people cant write because they are care about their grammar mistake, structure... and so forth, that make them no courage to continue writing.
Yea, maybe picking up books and study is one of the best ways, but like I said, u cant deny that environment play an important role.
Like a baby, when he/she born to this world, what is his/her first language would be the language they are "considered" to familiar with... For me environment is pillar. I noe nothing about tamil language. By reading, can I enhance my tamil language? By environment, perhaps can speak... but when write, courage is more important.
