- don't worry about accent

How to improve?

Increase exposure to English (avoid translating)
Use academic language
Practice as much as you can (practicing alone is not enough)
Evaluate yourself (find the answer)

Record yourself if you don't have scoring partner


You can draw instead of write an outline

Use indent consistently
All the information is writen in the passage (reading), instruction (writing)

Tips:

Try to write equally in writing (8-9 words in a line)
