To be smart

Since I have read many letters about smartness, I can't concur with them, who wrote about only improving our English pronunciation. I believe that smartness is not all connected with right pronunciation; yes its a manifest important factor.

Writing is a big problem in our country. Most of the people don't use proper languge and thus write very badly or poorly including with spelling error, grammatical error and more. Such writing -- marred by errors and inconsistencies -- is not only disturbing and distracting, it also diminishes one's interest in reading on. How can we called them smart?

Why it's so difficult to express ourselves clearly writing in English? Fortunately we got a native American as trainer, things changed dramatically within a short time. It's better late than never.

In my opinion, they are smart when they are good in writing, speaking, reading and listening in the language. However, everything depends on practice.

De facto, the art of writing is one that must be practised diligently and crafted with a lot of care. Our education system should look afresh.
