It is important because writing is not natural, like speak and listening. It must be learned, generally someone need to teach us how to write.
The most important thing that the writing teacher needs to know is "WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH ESL BUT RATHER TSL: THINKING IN A SECOND LANGUAGE. IF WE CAN GET OUR STUDENTS TO DO THAT, WE SURELY TAUGHT THEM SOMETHING. (Raimes, 1985:92).
What is the best way to teach writing to children? to teenagers?
The best way to teach writing is leaving them to write in a free way, to leave them explain their lifes, their favorite things that they like the most, etc...
Because in that way they will demostrate that they really want to learn how to write in other language, because they have fun do it these kind of activities.

Using my imagination
It was a common day and Sonia was alone because nobody want to stay even one moment with her, because three days ago Carlos, one Sonia`s classmate spoke with her and say: "Sonia you can`t live your life in this way, you know that marijuana is bad for your health, we will never speak with you because we want the better for you and you know that you have to change this bad habbits in your life".
The problem is that Sonia didn`t change these bad habbit and she still consuming marijuana, she knows that these is bad and that she is alone, bad is stronger than her.
