And we'd be very happy to hear from you and very happy to help you.
And today we're going to do something a little bit different.
Quite a few of you have been asking recently about how can you, how can they improve their writing skills.
As I always tell students, speaking and writing skills are very, very different, too.
Two very different skill sets altogether.
When you're speaking, it's of course important to be correct and polite.
But often when we speak something, it's forgotten about quite quickly.
Unfortunately, when we write something, it's there on record, particularly if we're using email or some other form of text.
It's there for people to see and they can read it several times.
And therefore, mistakes become a little bit more obvious.
And we have to be really, really careful, and we also have to be really careful how we write.
So we might be misinterpreted.
Of course we can be misinterpreted when we speak, but again, when it's written down, it's a little bit more in your line of view and people can comment and remark on it.
So there are different skills needed.
When we're speaking to people, we're often speaking to our friends and colleagues, and making little mistakes is not really so important as long as we are fluent.
