Writing correctly is essential for modern life, whether we are talking about handwriting, typing or writing from a smartphone, it is especially important.
The reason for its importance is that when you know how to write and write correctly, you can go everywhere, leaving yourself as a person with a wide vocabulary and general culture. In addition, with correct handwriting and an absence of spelling mistakes, we will achieve higher scores in exams and be perceived by company graphologists as organized and responsible people.
But, learning to write correctly is complicated, if you have not learned well as a child you may have adopted vices that are weighing you down when it comes to writing correctly. But don’t worry, no matter how old you are, everything has a solution.
What do you need to learn to write?
- A computer.
- Typing program like mecasoft.
- A notebook and a pen.
- A smartphone with a checker installed.
- A reading book.
Instructions to learn to write
- Calligraphy: There are people who have bad handwriting, this can be bad at the time of a job interview, since the graphologists will think that we are lazy and irresponsible (although it is not). First of all, learn to hold the pen correctly, because if we have taken it wrong we will always not be able to write well, secondly you must learn how to make the letters, for example I used to make letters like a or t backwards, the way making them can make them prettier. Finally dedicate yourself to imitating fonts on paper, until they come out correctly, do not forget the points of the i, close the t on top and put the punctuation marks.
- Typing: Many people are embarrassed typing, this weighs you down when it comes to jobs such as editor, for which we have many article orders per day and if we want to cover everything we must hurry. I manage to write articles like this in a little less than half an hour thanks to the fact that I write at more than 300 keystrokes per minute, so I can do many a day and make good use of my time. Download the mecasoft software, which is the one with which I learned to develop this speed, they will teach you everything from placing your fingers correctly to writing without looking, also improving typing speed and ergonomics.
- Spelling: Misspellings are common among typically ignorant people, at least that’s what job interviewers and people who see you write will believe. Forget about stupid spelling rules, the best way to write correctly is to read many reading books, in which, seeing the correctly spelled word many times, you will memorize its correct way of writing it and write without mistakes mechanically. Also use the correctors of Microsoft Word and Google Chrome to know what you write wrong and correct yourself.
- The writing: It is essential for certain jobs, such as writing these articles, if you are a good writer you could become my writing partner and earn money writing. To write correctly, you must first learn to use punctuation correctly, secondly, to be able to express your ideas in a way that makes reading enjoyable, and thirdly, to have a good vocabulary. Separate the writing into paragraphs, use a lot of vocabulary, which if you don’t know you will have to learn it and use bold letters as I do to highlight what is important. If you are writing by hand, respect the margins and avoid crossing outs and kilos of tipex on the page.
- From the mobile: The Smartphone is increasingly important in modern life, what was previously used to send 4 messages to friends and call, is now also our work tool. We read the email, we make work proposals from the mobile and we communicate with our boss, for which it is necessary to learn to write from the mobile as well.
- Adapted keyboard: If you have big hands like me, download an adjustable keyboard like TouchPal’s, since that way you’ll be able to type faster without making mistakes.
- Autocorrect: Autocorrect is simply a great invention, thanks to which we can correct our mistakes and learn. Add words to the dictionary that the autocorrect does not know, for example trademarks or anglicisms like selfie.
- Vices: The bad thing about the phone is that you catch certain vices talking with friends, for example not using punctuation marks, not being able to accent or not using capital letters. I advise you to correct it since in case of speaking with important people they will value it very much.
Tips for learning to write
- Practice: You should practice writing daily, look for your weak point and work on it to improve it. If it’s calligraphy, try to write a lot by hand, if it’s typing, finish all the mecasoft courses, if it’s writing, try essays on a subject and if it’s faulty, keep reading books and practicing daily.
