Trong xã hội toàn cầu hiện nay, học tiếng Anh là rất quan trọng và cần thiết cả trong cuộc sống và ở trường. Bởi vì tiếng Anh là ngôn ngữ phổ biến nhất được nói trên thế giới, nó cũng là một phương tiện giao tiếp quan trọng, giúp chúng ta hiểu kiến thức và văn hóa của cộng đồng quốc tế. Tiếng Anh được dạy như một môn học bắt buộc tại hầu hết các trường học ở Việt Nam. Mục tiêu của việc dạy tiếng Anh là giúp học sinh, sinh viên tìm hiểu thông tin, kiến thức và sự kiện thông qua việc sử dụng các kỹ năng ngôn ngữ. Tuy nhiên, một số người Việt Nam gặp một số khó khăn khi sử dụng tiếng Anh và họ không thể sử dụng các kỹ năng tiếng Anh đúng cách. Đặc biệt, nhiều học sinh trung học phổ thông tạiViệt Nam thường cảm thấy không hài lòng với kỹ năng viết của mình vì họ thiếu phương pháp phù hợp. Vì vậy, mục đích của nghiên cứu này là tìm ra kết quả của việc sử dụng phương pháp sơ đồ tư duy để giúp học sinh cải thiện kỹ năng viết. Những người tham gia nghiên cứu này là học sinh lớp 11 tại trường trung học phổ thông Thái Nguyên. Thông qua việc áp dụng phương pháp phân tích bài viết của học sinh, nghiên cứu đã phát hiện ra thực trạng sử dụng bản đồ tư duy trong học viết, hiệu quả của việc sử dụng sơ đồ tư duy để nâng cao kỹ năng viết của học sinh tại trường trung học phổ thông Thái Nguyên. Hai công cụ khác nhau đã được sử dụng trong nghiên cứu là bảng câu hỏi, phân tích bài viết với mục đích đạt được dữ liệu đáng tin cậy và hợp lệ hơn cho nghiên cứu. Những phát hiện của nghiên cứu hi vọng sẽ hữu ích cho trường trung học phổ thông Thái Nguyên nói riêng cũng như tất cả các trường trung học phổ thông ở tỉnh Thái Nguyên nói chung.

When David was 12 years old it became apparent that he was having significant difficulty writing. He struggled on, but his writing did not improve and he was regularly having his work returned by teachers because it was illegible. If he tried to write painstakingly slowly he could produce work that was barely legible, but there was not enough time to do this during examinations. David was very intelligent, an avid reader, an excellent debater, and good at sports. He was well coordinated in every manual task except writing, and was physically healthy. No cause for his difficulty could be found. At high school and university, he was given permission to type his examination papers and obtained excellent results. He is now a professor of law. He still cannot write legibly, but has had many papers and a number of books published. He uses a combination of dictation and typing instead of writing. This chapter deals with the mechanics of handwriting, that is, the formation of letters and their arrangement on the page. In contrast with disorders of reading and spelling, such difficulties have received little attention. This is partly because writing is a skill that cannot be easily evaluated by standardized tests, and partly because significant impairment of writing skill seems to be relatively uncommon. Unfortunately, this lack of knowledge means that children with specific writing difficulty are often misunderstood and maligned. Assessment of writing should form part of a comprehensive assessment, as described in Chapter 2. It is impossible to score a sample of writing in a precise way. In practice, samples of writing are usually evaluated by an experienced tester. Three samples of writing are obtained: a passage of free composition on a particular topic, a piece of dictation, and a copy of some printed material. In the case of the free composition, the child is usually given a limited amount of time, such as five minutes. In the other two tests, he is timed to see how long he takes.
