About Workshop
Is writing a natural talent? Is writing a product? No, writing is a skill; it is a process that can be learned. Improper writing attitude results getting lost in writing. English writing barriers remain in getting started (the hardest part is the beginning, no idea), expressing ideas in English (lack of vocabulary), organizing ideas logically. This evening course is designed to break through these barriers.
This very hands-on barrier breaking course will give you the sessions to brainstorm, to plan, to pre-write, to freely write, to set eyes on own writing errors and to meet the grammatical solutions.
