There are 4 skills in English that are meant to be developed when learning the language: writing, speaking, reading and listening; even though most people would say that "speaking” is the most difficult one to be acquired the truth is that "writing" gets the first place in terms of complexity and accuracy. Writing Blogs is a good opportunity to put in practice our knowledge, to exercise it and to improve it and therefore to increase it. We are living in a globalized world where the common language for doing business and exchanging information such as advances in medicine and science is English. All relevant research results when having them published are in English since international magazines are in the so called “Universal Language”. It is a known fact that when doing business with China enterprises there’s no need to know Mandarin but English; first approaches via email and the following contracts are written in this foreign language. Covenants among universities from different countries are agreed in English too.

Dear students, this is our last blog session!!!

There are 4 skills in English that are meant to be developed when learning the language: writing, speaking, reading and listening; even though most people would say that "speaking” is the most difficult one to be acquired the truth is that "writing" gets the first place in terms of complexity and accuracy.

Writing Blogs is a good opportunity to put in practice our knowledge, to exercise it and to improve it and therefore to increase it.

We are living in a globalized world where the common language for doing business and exchanging information such as advances in medicine and science is English.

All relevant research results when having them published are in English since international magazines are in the so called “Universal Language”.

It is a known fact that when doing business with China enterprises there’s no need to know Mandarin but English; first approaches via email and the following contracts are written in this foreign language.

Covenants among universities from different countries are agreed in English too.

Summarizing: in current world the way of communicating is through e-mails and texting; relations among friends, employer-employee, teacher-student, companies, universities, governments and so forth are importantly carried on in a written manner.

Nowadays our mobile phones are used more for writing rather than speaking.

Therefore WRITING is and has been a skill of great significance, in any language, and its communication value and usefulness go hand by hand with the everyday development of a modern society

One last piece of advice: speak as you write, especially when formality is a must and you’ll prove yourself worthy of using the language of William Shakespeare.
