CHALLENGES AS A WRITER AND SPEAKER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

People still encounter certain issues or problem even with the languages that they are very familiar to the. One of the things I have come to noticed in term of speaking the English language and writing, is the major differences which exist. I do not like to write a lot but one problem I observed in any academic writing is the problem of punctuation usage. Most at times, my use of punctuation marks hard to me even though it might be very easy to others is the comma. As easy as it is , it continues to keep me wondering if my usage of it is proper, sometimes, I end up omitting it completely without being  aware of it.

The second difficulty I experience in leaning English language is the writing style or commonly referred to as formals. There are three basis styles used in academic writing, APA, MLA and Chicago style. This has constantly become a nightmare to me because I really get it all mixed up and do not totally understand the different rules governing each of the writing styles. I end up doing it wrongly almost every time, which has affected some of my academic performances.
