We can express our own ideas and
opinions in different ways. It is possible by expressions, by signals, by
communication, by writing or by speaking. It is not necessary to select only a
particular way to express them but perfection is important. Writing is one
of the powerful modes of expressing ideas. Writing helps us to communicate
better. If we want to become a good writer
we must be a good read which will help us to improve vocabulary, sentence
structures and grammar.
We all have ideas but the way of
presentation of them will lead to identifying the personality. It is not an easy
job for everyone because a lot of mental exercises are needed for writing. It
is the work of our brain to analyze and arrange our own ideas, imagination,
feelings, knowledge and information to present before others. When we write
anything most of the parts of the brain involve accomplishing it. This will help to
improve memory which will lead our imagination into reality. Writing helps to stimulate the brain especially
the left hemisphere which is the dominant part that controls all the related
activities. Both the hemispheres have lobes, out of which the frontal lobe mostly
regulates writing and speaking in association with other lobes.
As the human brain develops at an age of
early childhood it is very important to teach the children how to write
everything properly. The first step in this regard is to write and learn alphabets
and then to words. Gradually they attain the knowledge of forming sentences. Developing a writing skill will help them to gather and analyze their ideas in an effective
manner. Children should get the freedom to write whatever they want to. More and
more interest will develop and that will direct them to form creative ideas.
Creativity will surely lead to better output in their academic areas. Handwriting
is another aspect which improves by continuous practice. By seeing the
handwriting we identify the nature and confidence level of children.
The overall writing is a skill which
should be practised and improved by all.
