Question: How can one improve spelling and grammar? 

Answer: Spelling is hard, it's usually a natural talent.  But, just pay attention to what you're writing and if you're unsure about anything, look it up.  After a while, you'll remember certain words you didn't know before.\nFor grammar, go to the bookstore and get an easy book about it (Grammar for Dummies, or something to that effect), and read it then use it as a reference while you are writing.
