Difficulties in writing
Some of the difficulties that i face while writing are lack of information and vocabulary. When i am given a topic to write about such as climate change, i would have a mental block as i do not have information to illustrate the topic. As a result, essays that i have written are vague and uninformative. Thus, in order to overcome this problem, i read newspapers and magazines for example The Straits Times, Times and Newsweek. Besides that, i also tend to use words repetitively as i have limited vocabulary. Therefore, whenever i encounter new words, i would look up in the dictionary and understand the meaning of the words. Consequently, i will be able to use them in my future essays.

I am facing the same problem with you too. You can find it on my blog soon. Haha...
Actually what I think is perhaps the environment we grow up in. For my case, I study in Chinese for over 10 years. It is hardly to speak in English, do not even mention writing in English. That's why I always lack of vocab when i am writing.
Haha, may i join you all? I face the similar problem with you. Actually, we need time and determination more than method. This is my heart-to-heart feeling.
We are quite similar in writting difficulty. I also got vocabulary limit problem. ^_^
I can say that i am also having the same problem with you all in writing. Perhaps we should communicate with each other by using english in the class. I think this will slowly increase our efficiency in writing.
