For many English learners learning to write fluently in English is much more challenging than learning to speak fluently. Even for advanced level learners, written communications can come much more slowly in English than spoken communications.
Writing in English needs to follow rules of grammar much more closely than in spoken English. For example, if someone says 'Please borrow me your pen' in conversation, it's clear from the context that the speaker intended to say 'Please lend me your pen'. In written communication, words are even more important because they lack visual context. Especially if you are working in a business setting, making mistakes can cause miscommunication which might lead to problems. In conversation, you can smile and make a good impression. With writing, all you have are your words.
Imagine if you're at a party. You might have a conversation with someone and only understand a few words. However, because you're in the context of a party, you can make all the mistakes you want. It doesn't matter. Everyone is having fun. When it comes to writing, there's not so much room for error.
Spoken English is much more spontaneous(自发的) than written English. It's looser and mistakes don't necessarily impact your ability to communicate clearly. In writing, it's important to think about how to write to the intended audience. You need to understand who will be reading your writing. It takes time to figure these things out.
We expect more of what we read. We expect it to be true, entertaining or informative. When there's an expectation, there's pressure to perform well. With speaking, with the possible exception of giving a presentation, there's not nearly so much pressure unless you're closing a business deal.
It is important when teaching written English skills -- especially for business English -- to be aware of the challenges that learners will face when learning to function in a written English environment.
A strong heatwave has hit India and Pakistan, with the hottest and driest weather seen in 122 years! India's government has shut down or closed schools early for summer break and announced a warning of "bad heatwave conditions" for the upcoming weeks. Both countries also saw other alarming side effects such as strong fires, agricultural failure, and even risks of flooding.
While heatwaves are not uncommon in the area, they usually happen in May and are followed closely by the monsoon (季风) season. However, this year, the heatwaves started two months earlier, with no rain in sight.
On another front, a combination of the La Nina weather pattern and warm waves from the Arctic has caused a high-pressure system that is causing hot, dry air to sink and stay in place. *This is similar to the pressure pattern that caused fires in western US and Canada last year.
In India and Pakistan, heatwaves have already caused deaths. As high temperatures continue throughout the nighttime, it makes it hard for the human body to cool down.
Because of being short of supply of coal, recent power cuts across India have made a large part of the population live without air conditioning and fans.
The Indian government has cut down the number of passenger trains to allow more trains to carry coal to power factories.
The heatwaves have also caused fires in landfills in India and increased glacial melting and the risk of flooding in the mountainous areas of Pakistan.
High temperatures have also caused a drop in the agricultural yields (产量) for farmers. As people continue to try to beat the heat, scientists are worried that the situation only seems to be growing worse. However, as monsoon season approaches, there is hope that the rain will end the seemingly endless periods of heat.

One of the longest ancient wooden bridges in China, located in Fujian Province, fell down on Saturday night after a fire broke out. No deaths or injuries were reported.
Wan'an Bridge, which has a history of more than 900 years, in the village of Changqiao in Pingnan County caught fire at around 9:10 pm. The fire was put out by 10:45 pm, according to the local emergency management department.
According to China News Service, Pingnan County has set up special working groups to look into the event and to try to rebuild the bridge. A fire broke out on the bridge in the Qing Dynasty and it was rebuilt in 1742. There are more than 50 wooden arch (弧形) bridges in Pingnan. Being almost 100 meters long and 5 meters wide, Wan'an Bridge is the oldest and longest wooden bridge in the country. It was listed as a key national cultural relic in 2006. The construction of wooden arch bridges uses the most useful skills among all wooden bridges in China, and the skills themselves were listed as an immaterial cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2009.
A Changqiao Village official told reporters that although villagers tried to save the bridge, the fire was too big and it was destroyed in under 20 minutes. The official said cultural relics managers regularly conducted inspections on the bridge. Although uncommon, fires at cultural sites around the country do happen. In 2014, a fire destroyed around 300 houses in Dukezong, a town in Shangrila County of Yunnan Province. Dukezong, established more than 1,300 years ago, is known for its Tibetan-style buildings. The fire burned nearly a fifth of the ancient town's key preservation area.
In 2019, the government functional departments (职能部门) brought out a guideline on improving fire safety for cultural relics. It required museums and institutions with cultural relics to conduct fire safety patrols (巡逻) every two hours when open to the public.
