good and important question. let's begin by differentiating oral skills and writing skills. oral skills are extremely useful in face-to-face communication, like between friends and family. writing skills, on the other hand, take on greater importance in situations that are not face-to-face, like writing a essay to get into college, writing directions on how to do something, giving orders to subordinates, and so on. frankly, some people are better with one or the other set of skills, but this doesn't mean that one or the other is more important.
we have practiced talking since we were babies, but we don't begin to learn to write until later, usually in school. notice two things here: two different kinds of skills, and we have to learn to practice them in different kinds of situations.
here's another way to differentiate oral and written communication -- the oral is more temporary, while the written is more permanent. so, if you want to keep a record of your ideas/thoughts, write them down!
a small suggestion: try writing short sentences at first -- subject, verb, object. in the english language, this order is most common. (I see you!, I like icecream!, i hate classical music, etc.) what will happen when you try this approach? first, you will have to teach yourself to think a little bit more clearly. second, you will tend to use simpler words. third, you will soon grow out of this stage and begin to write down more complex ideas and use a larger vocabulary.
sorry if this seems to be a little bit preachy. i don't mean to be like that, but, after all, i'm writing it down!
good luck!
