Writing skills are important for students to develop for several reasons. Writing allows students to organize their thoughts and ensure they have fully understood information from various sources. It also helps students learn to explain complex ideas simply. Developing strong writing abilities will help students express themselves logically and be creative thinkers. Additionally, good writing skills are valuable for future careers, as most employers seek candidates who can communicate effectively in writing.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WRITING SKILLS

Author E.M. Forster once said, “How do I know what I think until I see what I say?”

Writing ability shows the capability of one’s own thought power and opinions in ways that may

surprise even the writer himself.

An essay is a good method to embed all the facts and figures together which had been

received from different sources. It requires simplifying and explaining the complex ideas.

Learning to go from the complex to the simple makes the piece of writing more acceptable to

the readers. Listening to a lecture cannot assure knowledge embedding. Essays serve as a tool

to test the students' knowledge by assessing their arguments, analyses, and specific examples,

as well as the conclusions they draw regarding the material covered in the course. When the

students write an essay, they are actually trying to express themselves. Therefore, improving

their essay writing skills, with appropriate vocabulary and well organized writing style, will

only help them to express themselves in a more logical way.

Besides, the students can show creativity in each stage of the process of writing an essay. It is

an opportunity for them to use their imagination, produce words out of the pictures they have

had in their minds and pen them down in a creative fashion. By improving their essay writing

skills the students can grow to be a very talented and creative writer, speaker and a logical

thinker.

However easier it may seem to find a material for an essay, the difficulty lies in the

assembling and arrangement of the material into a good essay. Creating a flow in writing an

essay is an art in its own. Hence, all of these involve a lot of creativity and intelligence, which
contributes to the intellectual development of the student and helps the student become sharp and organized in

his academics and daily life.

Our world is all about writing. Tweeting, posting, messaging, emailing, and other forms of communication

have some form of writing involved. Writing skills are important in all fields and therefore students must be

careful in quality writing. The better the students get at it, the better they will be able to represent themselves

on social media as well as in their professions, as writers whose writings are worth reading.

The California Writing Project, University of California whose goal is to strengthen the value of

accumulating knowledge to improve writing skills, shows various examples of how improved writing skill

can helpthe students in the workplace:

“According to most corporate leaders, employees who are skilled in writing are the most likely to be

promoted and the least likely to be outsourced or eliminated.” and “More than 90 percent of mid-career

professionals recently cited the ‘need to write effectively’ as a skill of ‘great importance’ in their day-to-day

work.”

Therefore, the students should be made to see their academic writing assignments as a good investment in

their career and not as a medieval form of scholarly torture.
