Abstract: you likely also use writing skills outside of email. Maybe you put together presentations that incorporate text or need to write a report on the results of something you did or researched. Or perhaps you 're going on vacation and you 're writing up what you need your teammates or reports to know or take care of while you 're out. Keywords: examples of Writing Skills, research, grammar, clarity, revising, editing, communication skills.
Writing is something others can refer back to at any point—as opposed to verbal communication, which might have to be repeated and requires both parties to be available at the same time. Written records can be particularly helpful when you're trying to standardize how your team or company handles recurring tasks or training new coworkers to take these on. "Clearly writing and documenting new procedures can allow for future consistency and improved quality control," Smith says, even if you're not available to meet with and explain the processes to each new person taking them on.
Examples of Writing Skills
There are several types of skills that combine to make someone a strong writer, including:
Research
Before you write a single word, you need to do your research about the topic you're writing on. Gathering information that's up-to-date and accurate is a key part of writing, and the process may help you figure out what content to include. Depending on what you're writing, research may involve learning about your target customer—whether it's an overall target market or individual company—evaluating sources for strength and credibility, talking to experts, reviewing and analyzing data, or talking to other members of your team.
Planning and/or Outlining
An outline is a pared-down sketch of what points or topics the document you're working on will cover and how you plan to structure the information, which can give you a roadmap to follow as you write. Creating and following an outline ensures you're incorporating all the important information in the right order and not being repetitive or straying too far from your point. It's often easier to get outside input on an outline than to write an entire report or similar only to find out key information was missing. Outlining skills can also be used to map out a non-writing project ahead of time or plan a process, which can be especially helpful if you're delegating to or collaborating with others.
Grammar and Clarity
Grammar is the set of rules governing language usage. It's what guides everyone to communicate in a similar way and, as a result, understand each other more. There are many rules of English grammar, and you should definitely know the basic ones. But unless you're a writer or editor, knowing the obscure little quirks of grammar usually isn't necessary. What is necessary is knowing how to construct a clear, easy-to-read, and understandable sentence so you can communicate in writing.
Revising and Editing
Editing is the process of correcting and changing a piece of your own or someone else's writing to strengthen it. You can revise or edit by making significant changes to the structure, organization, or content of a piece. Or you might proofread a piece of writing, checking for any misspellings, grammar mistakes, or typos. In other cases, you might be tweaking sentences or paragraphs to flow better or reflect a certain tone. Strong editing skills can be useful in a wide range of professional situations—from looking over a report or presentation for a teammate to spotting an error in an email you're about to send the entire company.
Communication Skills
Even if writing isn't a core part of your job, you'll likely use it to communicate in the workplace. This might mean composing an email, messaging someone on Slack or Teams, giving feedback, creating a meeting agenda, or giving an update on a project. Being able to communicate clearly through writing will help your work go more smoothly, increase the chances you get what you want and need from others, prevent misunderstandings, and allow your colleagues to feel informed and included—ultimately strengthening your professional relationships.

Abstract: an idiom is a widely used saying or expression that contains a figurative meaning that is different from the phrase's literal meaning. For example, if you say you 're feeling "under the weather," you don't literally mean that you 're standing underneath the rain. "Under the weather" is an idiom that is universally understood to mean sick or ill. Keywords: cultural experience, French idioms, Idiomatic expressions, phrase, traits.
Idioms often summarize or reflect a commonly held cultural experience, even if that experience is now out of date or antiquated. For instance, you might say that someone should "bite the bullet" when they need to do something undesirable. The phrase's origin refers to wounded soldiers literally biting down on a bullet to avoid screaming during a wartime operation. That common occurrence from the past resulted in a phrase we still use today.
These phrases are also unique to their language of origin. In other words, English idioms are different from Spanish or French idioms.
