I have been writing in English for years (for school assignment). However, there seems to be a problem that I can not overcome: English expression. I remembered that my academic supervisor used to comment on my writing and told me that it was off-putting to read my paper. Hearing a negative feedback like this does discourage me quite a bit. It is also shame for me to admit that I have been living in English-speaking countries for several years already. The problem is when it comes to writing, my brain just gets stuck. I don't know if there is actually a way for me to improve my English writing. I mean on the part of English expression. Trust me, over the years I have been using online reference tools and applications to check for grammatical errors. I do not see my hard-work has been paid off so far. Plus, the worse thing is that sometimes I am not even able to tell whether a sentence I create (construct) is universally comprehensible or sound very much foreign-alike. Anyway, I do need help on this issue.
