How to improve writing skills

This is the same as many other activities: the more you do it, the better your results are. It's a matter of practice but there are also some tips to help you with your production.

The first thing is to be logical and coherent. This means that you have to bear in mind that the person who is reading your composition is not in your head, so explain your thoughts clearly and you may give examples as well.

Don't try to be funny or really original unless you're really sure about what you're doing. It's better to be efficient and resolute (but not dull) so take care you'r doing what you've been asked to do.

You should get variety and accuracy so when you're writing, or even better when you've finished your work,  revise what you've done and use synonyms or different structures to avoid repetition.

Pay attention to your spelling and if you have recurrent mistakes, go through your composition to check you've done it right.

These are some free webpages you can use to practise your writing:

Work with them and see if they are useful for you. I really think the one from Cambridge is the best for learners as the other ones are for native speakers.
