College Interview Skills
How to improve college wrting skills?
Im a freshman student who do not speak English as a frirst language. I really want to improve my college writing skills into a higher level, but I don't know how and what to do. Can anyone give me any advice or useful links about that?

The best thing you can do is read - and not the newspaper, something you like. The other thing is to keep a journal and write in it every day, or as often as you can.
One of the links I like a lot is dave's esl cafe - www.eslcafe.com. Dave has a lot of other links there. There is stuff for both teachers and students. I think you will like also. Also, if you have any questions you are welcomed to e-mail me anytime. I can scan and send you worksheets to practice. My guess is that you'd like to improve your vocabulary and syntax, and not so much grammar. Am I right?
At the same time, check with your college. All of them have a tutoring center that is FREE to you. Go make an appointment with a tutor. That will help you the most, especially when you have to write papers or essays.
The Elements of Style is ok - but it's mostly made for Americans who don't know the difference between its and it's, your and you're and so on. I get a feeling you do know those differences from the way you asked your question.
Maximizing Your College Education With Student Success Skills
Developing certain student success skills is a crucial part of getting the most out of an education. There are essential qualities that can help a student maximize their potential. We will cover some of the most important characteristics to develop whether they are in pre-school or just about ready to graduate college.
Student success skills can be broken up into four categories - classroom, home, financial and personal. Classroom skills involve abilities like test taking, which includes keeping cool under pressure, working under a time limit, and learning how tests work. Developing a keep observation skills is helpful in the classroom and in life - the ability to take notes quickly and clearly, the ability to gather information in a number of ways. There are several types of learning that any student might use: aural, visual, and kinesthetic. Aural learners retain the most information through listening, visual learners get the most out of seeing something, and kinesthetic learners through actually doing something.
Home skills are important after a student has gotten information, as they need to know what to do with it. Examples of home student success skills would be reviewing notes, working on a computer (knowing things such as how to upload and e-mail files and using word processors is a huge help), and avoiding distractions. Having a strong work ethic is also an important part of getting work done at home, and students should train themselves to try and perform a certain amount of studying each night or at least for a few days a week. Students without a proper work ethic often fall behind in studying, and the first thing to go after studying is test scores.
Financial student success skills are more important today than ever before. For the first time reports have come out showing that more students are dropping out of college due to financial reasons than academic. It is important your child receives a practical financial education before heading off to college or your child may return back in debt, with no degree and needing a place to live.
Personal student success skills are somewhat more vague, but can include things like students staying interested in and challenged by their classes, as well as getting to class on time and dividing up their time in a realistic way. Personal responsibility plays a huge part in the independent lifestyle of college, and should be learned early on. Academic coaches can be used to teach students these skills, and personal tutors can have a huge effect on overall performance.
