Importance of Writing
Writing allows students to be creative with their thoughts. They can execute a piece in whatever style they desire. Writing is an exceptional indicator of how broad the vocabulary range of a student is, as it fully tests their inner thoughts.Grammar on the other hand shows the level of understanding of the English language. Speaking grammatically correct gives out clear messages that can be interpreted effectively.
Writing comes naturally as you get older. The wider vocabulary range you have, the more you have to write about. Writing cannot be taught if the student doesn’t have a decent exposure to English. I have always said, if you speak well, you will be able to write well. If you cannot speak well, they you won’t be able to write well either.
Grammar should always come before writing. Grammar you need a decent vocabulary wage before tackling it, as there are many structures that are foreigners are not familiar with. However, grammar is vital when it comes to early sentence structuring, as you learn the rules of English. Learning the rules gives you get a general idea of how to construct and fit words together to form a sentence that comprehend-able.
