Open a short text you read yesterday, pick two sentences you like, and copy each one. Then write a new sentence that keeps the same structure but changes the topic, just as you would turn “Although she was tired, she finished the report” into something on a different subject. This starts your writing from real English, not a blank page. Reading supplies structures; writing forces closer reading, so the two skills reinforce each other.
Your practice loop
Read a short article of about 200 words twice. On the first read, just follow the meaning. On the second, underline two sentences whose structure you would like to use in your own writing. Ten minutes is enough.
Close the article and write two or three sentences from memory saying what it was about. Then open the article and compare. Your reading self-check: your summary covers the main points without inventing details. Reading speed tells you nothing here; fast reading can feel like understanding when it is not, so the retelling is the real measure.
Copy the two underlined sentences, then write one new sentence for each, changing the topic but keeping the structure. For example, from Although she was tired, she finished the report write Although the bus was late, he arrived on time. That gives you four sentences total.
Write a short paragraph of four to six sentences about something from your day, deliberately reusing one of the structures. Keep it rough and quick; the goal is a full draft, not a polished one. Five minutes is enough.
Check your draft against the model sentences and underline every place you reused a structure correctly. Circle one sentence that feels awkward, make one small fix, such as splitting it in two, then read the paragraph aloud once. If you stumble, that sentence is your first adjustment target for tomorrow.
