The one with essential linking words
When it comes to writing I used to think that if I try to read as much as possible I can then I can remember everything that I read and eventually my writing skills would become better over time.
But it turned out that I was totally wrong with this kind to technique. I didn't get any better with this learning method so until today when searching for something fun on Facebook I found out that what if I change to the way that I learn English a little bit, how about if I formulate all the English sentence structures. This is similar to math, you can solve all the exercises if you know all the formulas even the exercises aren't the same.
In the coming weeks, I'll try to learn as many grammar points like these as possible, along with new contextual vocabulary and hope that I'll get good results
