Because of this, English teachers are always advised to seriously teach this skill as carefully as possible 2 (careful) possible. You, as students, should also give more attention 3 (many) attention to the skill than ever before and practice it  as regularly as possible 4 (regularly) possible. The understanding is that the more/5 (much) you engage yourself in meaningful writing activities, the better 6 (good) you achieve the skill. Of course, few scholars think that since it is the most challenging 7 (challenging) language skill of all others, it is difficult for several students to achieve it unless teachers provide them with different supports such as explanations, model texts and guidance. Currently, however, the widely accepted belief is that the less 8 (little) the teacher interferes with the students’ engagement in a variety of meaningful writing activities, the faster 9 (fast) they achieve the skill.

Therefore, practicing writing with meaningful activities and checking the progress of one’s skills as regularly as possible 11 (regular) possible can make most students reasonable and and efficient writers.
