3. IN A CAREER CONTEXT, GOOD LANGUAGE
SKILLS CAN :
• Affect your credibility. Poor grammar indicates to a prospective
employer that you are sloppy, while flawless grammar indicates
that you pay attention to detail.
• Improve your relationships with your co- workers. If you are
able to express yourself clearly, you can eliminate the confusion
and misunderstanding that often leads to conflict.
• Increase your chances of being promoted.
• Help you to create a good impression.
• Improve your ability to persuade others (which is a valuable
skill in the working world).

4. 1.Read as much as possible. Reading improves your vocabulary, and helps
you to become familiar with sentence structure, word order, and the correct
use of punctuation.
2. Invest in a good dictionary. When you are unsure of the meaning of a word,
or when you come across an unfamiliar word, make sure to look it up in your
dictionary.
3. Keep a journal. This will give you an opportunity to practice your writing
skills on a regular basis.
