Do you know a hundred-word paragraph can be articulated in just one sentence? Possessing crisp writing skills help one convey their intent clearly in minimum words. Well-rounded writing skills help in various spheres of life- student life, personal life, and professional life.

2. Encourages logical thinking.

3. Increases vocabulary and creativity.

4. Helps bond with people and disseminate knowledge.

5. Organises our thought process and helps us write a quality text be it a thesis, a C.V. or a business presentation.
