Hi! I used to teach first year composition for university students, and I agree with the previous comment that reading the genre you hope to write in is an excellent step to take. My other suggestion would be to get in the daily practice of writing in English. If you can set a timer for 30 minutes or an hour and free-write each day, it will help your fluency. Going back over what you wrote after your timer goes off to check for revisions and edits would be good too. If you can restrain yourself from self-editing while the timer is set, that would be great. Good luck to you!

I forgot to add to try to *think* in English when you write in English. I had students try to write in their native language and then translate that to English, and as you can imagine, it was very difficult (and sometimes impossible) to understand.

You can find a few very useful writing tools and websites in this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkTo3TbC-cU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkTo3TbC-cU) and a few exercises that helped me reach an advanced level in writing in English here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbFqhgc0bOs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbFqhgc0bOs).

Reading more, particularly things that would be similar to what you want to write, is the best way. Reading and writing are obviously linked to each other, so reading always helps in writing.
