Sample 1 Problems of Writing in English Learners of English usually find that writing is the most difficult skill they have to master. Even native speakers of English often find it hard to write well on some subjects. It may, therefore, be helpful to analyze the types of errors that the learners of English may make. Three broad types of errors can be distinguished[tshilp1]. The first type of error is the error which leads to a misunderstanding or even worse, to a breakdown in communication. Students tends to work out a sentence in his own language and then translate it word by word into English. This often produces non-English sentence patterns. The second type of error is the error which leads to ungrammatical English, but does not usually interfere with the meaning. The wrong selection of a verb tense often comes into this category. The third type of error concerns style and usage. When a student writes “The results of the research were terrific”, he is making this type of mistake because native speakers of English never use the word “terrific” in their own academic writing. Each of the three mistakes can damage one’s composition[tshilp2]. A learner of English should always be aware of the three mistakes when he writes in English[tshilp3]. As we mentioned above, there are three main categories of errors in learners’ writing in English. If a student of English wants to write well in English, he must try his best to avoid these mistakes in his essays. ?
