Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling
Correct spellingis a basic skill in studying English. （1）However, nowadays spelling is neglected by many students intheir English study.
（2）They have their ownreasons for misspelling. First of all, they prefer an easy way ofstudying language, which causes some losses and changes in spelling. Second,the teachers are not very strict with students’ spelling. In China, teachersseem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary rather than spelling.
（3）To change this bad habit,from my point of view, the teachers and students should work together.On the one hand, the teachers should pay more attention to students’ spelling,asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling fromthe very beginning of their English study. On the other hand, the studentsthemselves are supposed to be aware of the necessity of correct spelling inEnglish study.
In conclusion, correct spelling is so important that both teachersand students should try their best to achieve correct spelling.

Studying Abroad or Not
