Contents introduction chapter I methods of teaching writing in high school

CONCLUSION
The patterns of youth psychology determine the need for a personal approach to high school students. With all the commonality of their situation and life tasks, high school students differ significantly from each other. Their life paths will also be different. Training should be focused not on leveling individual characteristics, but on the formation of students' individual style of activity.
The older and more mature a teenager is, the more his upbringing turns into self-education. This requires the teacher to be very flexible, tactful, understanding, and willing to take the pupil's personality seriously.
From a psychological point of view, the writing process is the most complex, conscious form of speech activity. Perception, memory, attention, and thinking are of great importance when learning a foreign language, which determine the success of educational activities.
In our educational culture as a whole, not as much attention is paid to the formation of writing skills as we would like. Russians prefer the oral culture of communication in writing so much that even exams are conducted only orally and in business relations they neglect correspondence.
UMK "English in focus" / "Spotlight" contains more exercises for the development of writing skills, i.e. the necessary discourses for writing part C1-C2 of the Unified State Exam letter and essay. This is due to the fact that the textbook differs in its structure, where time is allocated for each type of speech activity in the lesson, including written speech. In addition, the UMC contains additional sources of formation of writing skills in the form of a language portfolio and meets all the requirements of new educational standards. But the result of teaching a foreign language in general and writing in particular depends on the teacher himself, who can choose a system of exercises in such a way as to achieve the desired result.
To form the ability to write an essay with argumentative elements, you need to work with strategies for its implementation, training with the help of appropriate exercises. This set of exercises will contribute to the development of skills of independent creative thinking and written presentation of their own thoughts. Writing an essay is extremely useful because it allows the author to learn how to formulate thoughts clearly and competently, structure information, use the main categories of analysis, identify cause-and-effect relationships, illustrate concepts with appropriate examples, and argue their conclusions.
