Improving English language skills

Your daily is doing its bit to encourage the readers to express their opinion on any subject of interest which is published in your opinion and feedback pages after editing as required. An added feature is your regular presentation on English language vocabulary, grammar, usage and expression, which is a great help to those who read it regularly.

In this connection I would request you to publish stories, skits, poems, essays in your weekly literary page. This may not be the top-notch stuff that comes out, which unfortunately is mostly foreign based or ex-bureaucrat's (who are trained in writing) memories and comments. This step will encourage many shy amateur writers to send in their work, which after three weekly publication may be followed up with a month-end critical appreciation by your Literary Editor, along with any worthwhile feedback from other readers. This will create a flow of writings and generate skills and interest among prospective (untrained but having potential) amateur writers and poets, who will be encouraged as well as learn from yours and other readers' monthly feedback.

I believe such a step will encourage many budding writers and go a long way to improve the overall standard of English writing of the general readers.
