Today I want to share my ways to improve writing skill with you. As known for all, writing is the final skill in four skills. I have to admit that a good article is from our life experience, and why we have to pick the right words to form a composition.
On no matter how difficult a language is, the matter is to conceive or perceive the varieties of linguistic rules, we give the definition of grammar. Grammar that is well fixed in any of language with some specific usages, and that vocabulary or lexis must work well on the various terms of one certain language becomes so different and beautiful. So, ways of mastering a language are vocabulary and grammar. And last, meaning is more important than grammar, don't forget to use and practice your four language skills.

I found some writers using comedy writing skill in The Privilege of Youth by Dave Pelzer, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, and The Lord of The Rings by J.R.R.Tolkien.
Here is the interesting plot from TPOY by Dave Pelzer.
With hours of rehearsal under my belt and pronouncing every word and copying every small gesture, I took a half step forward, placed both hands on my hips, tossed my shoulder-length shaggy hair to the side, and in a cocky I could care less attitude I smacked my lips before saying, "Well, as if it matters, if you must know, I hung out at the mall talking to guys, with my fos..."
8. Read like a writer, write like an author.
I have to say it again. As long as you read, you improve your writing skill little by little. When you want to write as well as famous composers, you have to make your effort to master the words in many books. Technically speaking, words are different forms but the same meaning, use your imaginary brain to figure out what you're reading.

Many readers don't want to read any more, they think it is hard to read and understand. Their patience erodes to the point giving up reading. So, Keep on reading and memorizing new words in context, read it again before or after you forget the content. When you write your own piece, you can apply what you've learnt to it.
