The power of writing
Writing is an essential and important skill that everyone has had since we were children. While many many people enjoy writing very much, lots of people think that writing is very boring and useless. In my opinion, writing is very powerful. There are 3 important and powerful functions that writing can do.
First of all, writing is a really good way to express our thoughts. We can express our thinking about any topics through essays, magazines or newspapers. It is a lot better than speaking that we have time to think in writing. For instance, in a speaking contest, the topic is about “murderers nowadays”, it will be more persuasive when we have 10 minutes to think first, then select and organize ideals and write down some notes before speak so that our speech will be more fluent and effective.
Secondly, writing creates clear and permanent records. Unlike speaking or listening which we mostly forget, writing helps us remember things by making records. For example, taking notes in class is also a writing way that becomes very useful in the exam season. Moreover, these clear and permanent records are very useful in the future. We can keep memorable things and read anytime. We can keep a dairy for 20 years later, for instance.
Last but not least, writing makes us be smarter and more active. As we know, reading daily is an excellent way to have a clear and active brain and so does writing. To have a good writing, we need to know what type of writing it is, how to arrange and organize sentences appropriately. It requires our mind to think and think effectively. Thus it trains our mind to be more organized and logical. Moreover, thanks to the deviation of the topics, from politics to economy or education to marriage, we need to read a lot to learn vocabulary to serve for writing so that our brain is forced to learn and remember a lot. Thus writing helps us to be smarter and more active.
There are several powerful functions that writing can do. Making persuasive thoughts, creating permanent records and especially helping active brain are really useful and interesting things that writing can do. I hope that there will be more and more people realize that and enjoy writing more.
