Challenges of Writing Good English
MY CHALLENGES OF WRITING ENGLISH

1. Sometimes we miss to focus on many tiny but important issues of our life. This subject heading reminds me of one of those many in my life. It reminds me of the most aged challenge in my life that I took without even realizing how I am going to meet it. So many challenges have been attained in this life. Yet, the challenge of writing good English could not be achieved fully. The whole challenge is now at a stage of ‘The challenges in writing English’.
2. English, being an international language, is of great importance. It is the only media to communicate people around the world and to attain higher education, as most of the literatures are in English. As it is the only language to be used in Defence Services Command and Staff College, the challenges have submerged again in my mind. And this time, no spare.
3. Keeping in mind my limitations and also being briefed by my predecessors, just after getting the selection letter I was alerted. Due to busy life in unit I could not sit with any grammar book, but I used to read the official letters in English more carefully and write them with due caution. I started consulting dictionaries to get the correct word with correct spelling. By the way, I forgot to mention my challenges in writing good English, which are:
a. Careless spelling mistake is the first and foremost challenge that I have. I remember, during my cadet college life my father used to mark all the spelling mistakes in my letter and used to show those when I came home on leave. Till today it happens even in my most attentive writing. It is not that I do not know the spelling, but I know and make the mistake. That is why probably the very name is ‘Careless mistake’.

b. Limited vocabulary stands second in my challenge list. I have a very limited stock of English word and expression. The problem is that, I never felt the urge of improving it. As my limited knowledge on English words was going fine with my day to day

    Mikita Brottman argues that spelling on a resume leads to instant rejection on a candidate. Disagreeing to this argument a spelling error should not affect someone’s overall self-image. In the passage the committee states, “Her experience and qualifications seemed tailor-made for the post but also she was a diversity candidate.” This statement proves that she is capable for the position, a few spelling errors should not completely disapprove her for the position. A person on the committee even stated that it was a simple typo. To others on the hiring committee spelling was a little issue and that issue would not fully affect the candidate. If it is just one simple error that everyone finds okay, shouldn’t that be clear that is not that serious. The words were similar to each other, anyone could have made that mistake. That is why I disagree with what Brottman argued in this passage.…

    My Writing Challenges

    One of the biggest challenges that might arise when I’m writing a paper are the errors that I would do in my words by miss spelling them, and the error that I sometimes write one thing, and my mind it thinking another thing. I also make a lot of error in my spelling because I think I wrote the word right and when I read over I see I wrote the words wrong. The second big error I make is that I don’t write a very good topic sentence, it takes me a long time to write a topic sentence or the main topic. I try to write a good main topic, and I take a long time trying to think about a good main topic. I write a couple of main topics, and I pick the one they sound best to me, but when I turn it in to the instructor it’s not a really good main topic.…

    It is important to proofread and then proofread again after writing an email or letter. Emails and letters must represent you or your company and convey a message on their own without you explaining. The letters must be clear, concise, and free of errors. Letters and emails can be copied and forwarded so it is important to recognize it is never a “casual” letter. A poorly proofread letter or email could cost you your creditability and professionalism. You want to pass the “laugh” factor. It could cost you a job or advancement opportunity. From now on, I will be extremely careful when proofreading my letters after spellcheck. Many times I just run spellcheck and look for underlined words and correct those. I then print the letter and turn it in. Many times word will not catch misused forms of words, only a human eye can…
