One thing that will help in writing is to construct sentences using English structures. What it means is sometimes candidates write sentences that are translated word-for-word from their native language.

Study an example below:
"Inson paydo bo'lgandan buyon biror ish bilan mashg'ul bo'lib kelmoqda"

"Люди заняты какой-то профессией с тех пор, как появились на Земле."

Humans have been busy with some profession ever since they emerged on Earth

Working is as old as humanity's existence on Earth.

While the last TWO SENTENCES HAVE THE SAME MEANING, the latter has somewhat more unique to English sentence structure.

2021-12-04 18:31:29 Why writing is a problematic section of IELTS can be explained by the fact that candidates usually go from ideas to words but readers (i.e. examiners) go from words to ideas. For example, how would you paraphrase candidate's sentence (bracketed in red) in this essay? Discuss in group, please!

Conclusion: while writing, pay attention whether what you wrote actually shows what you thought and of course consider readers' reaction!

In 1947, the strangest craft to set sail in 500 years crossed the South Pacific from Peru to Indonesia. A Norwegian scientist called Thor Heyerdahl built the boat, Kon-Tiki, named after the Indonesian Sun god, and made the massive journey across open seas with the aim of proving his theory about the origins of the Indonesian people.
