Following the stages of this methodology the problem of the difficulty in the writing practice among university students was chosen to the studied. This fact concerns professors in general, once the ability of writing is considered as an essential one for all professionals. The results of this study showed that the university students are not used to reading. This fact causes great deficiencies in interpretation and writing abilities. It’s possible to infer that only an effort from all professors can assuage the problem through the practice of reading and writing during the classes and examinations.
