If you don’t want an audience, you could write a private diary instead. These can be incredibly therapeutic, helping you order your thoughts and get things off your chest. You can be totally honest in a diary, because nobody will see it but you, and they’re also a lovely record of what you’ve been up to that you’ll enjoy looking back on in years to come. A diary will get you used to using English to express your own thoughts clearly, something that’s essential in an academic context.
– Buy a nice, lined notebook that you’ll enjoy writing in, and a pen you feel comfortable writing with. If you’re worried about someone finding and reading it, you can get diaries with locks.
– Writing your diary by hand will give you valuable practise at handwriting, helping you build up the strength to write for long periods of time, and allowing you to practise writing neatly. Both these things will be very useful when it comes to your exams, particularly if you complete most of your normal essays and note-taking on a computer.
– Try to write everyday – make a habit of writing in your diary at a certain time of day, perhaps last thing in the evening.
