Nowadays, a majority of countries in the world speak English which is
one of the most important languages for international communication. It
becomes a second language in all universities, in all grades. However, it is
not easy to learn a foreign language well. English majors at HaiPhong Private
University are taught four skills of listening, writing, reading and speaking
from the first term. Of the four skills, many students consider writing the most
difficult because it requires the knowledge and professional use of grammar
and vocabulary to write a paragraph as well as a complete essay. Writing is
different from spoken language. In spoken language, we use many unfinished
sentences, ungrammatical structures. However, written language requires
formal vocabulary, correct spelling and grammar structure as well as well
organized sentences and ideas. Moreover, writing uses letters and punctuation
under rules of grammar.
