I suggest you write about different issues and afterward your language partners correct your redactions or style. Practice makes perfect. This helped me a lot with my English.

I would suggest that you start reading books that catch your interest. They don't all have to be serious you can even try reading a comic book if that interests you. Also, let your imagination run free and slowly start writing mini-stories in whatever language you want to speak. They don't have to be complex, just work with the words you know so far and slowly start to build on them.

Great question! Reading is probably the most useful tool you can use for writing. When we read in another language our mind picks up the patterns, word order, vocabulary, etc. that native speakers use while writing. Reading can be fun too and doesn´t have to feel like studying. Another tool is to write back and forth with a language partner. Best of luck!

1) You could try simple translation exercises. Take a work in your native tongue and translate into English. 2) My plan is to use the notebook here as a diary to practice Spanish. I basically will just describe something that happened in my day, but in Spanish instead of English (my native tongue) and then I can see others corrections. I always do something during the day so there should always be material to write about. It doesn't have to be deep or profound. 3) write imaginary letters to people. 4) write a fictional story in your target language. You don't have to write real or nonfictional material.

Reading is a great way to see the correct sentence structure of the language you're learning. Keep a written log of any new phrases you discover. My college degree is in Creative Writing, so I can definitely help you, but if you're looking for a free resource, try http://lang-8.com/ Here you can write paragraphs in English and a native speaker will correct your errors. In exchange (a cambio) you would correct the errors of someone learning to write in Spanish.
