I totally agree that we Indians need a great lot of improvement in our writing skills. Just to give a simple example, most of us are too hesitant to use a 'the' in our sentences and don't realise the importance of a 'the'.

What is 'great lot' of improvement? :) .. Its either 'lot of improvement' or 'great improvement'.

I don't see anything wrong in using 'great lot'! Don't fall prey to those strict grammar rules.
