A Great Way to Improve
English Skills Is to Write
About One's Experiences.

NOTE FROM MRS. BOWLES: The authors are from Level One
Writing class, Instructor Julie Gallagher.
Coming from different countries where we speak various
languages, it was a little hard for us to write well in English. We
were all worried about how we were going to improve our
English skills so that people could understand our writing. We’ve
been pleased with our progress in our writing class. Our teacher,
Mrs. Gallagher, said that we have greatly improved in our daily
writing assignment.
The Level One Writing class helped us to improve our English.
It’s a class where we have a lot of homework, mainly writing
stories about our experiences. It’s great because we write about
all kinds of subjects: world travels, culture, personal letters, etc.
Another impressive thing is that sometimes we do some
grammar exercises with time clauses, prepositions, past tense,
etc. We then use these exercises to improve our compositions.
We recommend the IEP classes to other international
students who want to improve their skills in English. We have
learned many things this last semester and we are looking
forward to Level Two.
Lamine and Alexei.
