Да. это очевидно? :(

Yeah, it is :) I have a couple of recommendations int this case. Unless you want to work as a translator English -Russian, translation is not the best way to improve your level of writing. Why? Because all the time when you translate you should to concentrate on TWO languages, which is quite hard. Russian and English don't have many in common — we use different constructions of sentences, rhythm — everything. So you just make your learning harder.

I would suggest to write texts in Russian from scratch. I mean, don't translate. Maybe at first it will be easy texts with many errors, but you'll become more confident in language. What's crucially important for writing in foreign language, you'll get some flow about Russian. With time you'll just feel, what's appropriate to write, and how to mix words with each other. On the flip side, if you only translate, you'll learn to translate, not write on your own.

If you give a shot to this strategy, it's very important to read in Russian  some books or articles which you understand on 80-90%. When you read, your level of comprehension increases, and your brain unconsciously learn, how Russian text really should look like. That's exactly how I learn English — I read a lot. As a result, I progress in writing. If you have more questions about this strategy, I can answer on them.

Thanks for the suggestion. How do you choose what to write? I see that your topics are very diverse in nature. Do you get them from the Internet or do you come
up with them yourself?

First of all, I work as a copywriter and editor in Russian, so I've learn during my work how to come up with not so obvious ideas for texts. Besides, every week I choose new topic in English for learning, then I read a lot about this topic and get some ideas from reading. For example, a couple of weeks ago I've chosen a topic "psychology", read articles about this, gathered some vocab and then write my own texts. Important thing is that I don't simply copy ideas, but do some research and then write my own thoughts + some principles that I've found during my research.

For this week, my topic is "daily routine", so I write about daily routines of famous people :) On the next week I'll choose new topic and write about smth else.

I choose different topics because I don't want get tired from English. Imagine if I would write only about marketing or psychology — I would go crazy in a couple of weeks :) Switching before topics help me, firstly, develop wide vocabulary, and secondly, feel more confident in my target language. And as I already mentioned, it's more fun.

To put it simply, read in your target language, write down ideas that will come in your head and then do small research for text.

You can follow this structure:
1. Read 2-3 articles.
2. Write down 3-4 ideas for your text which you got from articles + some key words/phrases from sources (depression is * term*; key signals — bad mood, anxiety, etc; what to do — go psychotherapy, take up sport, etc.)
3. Make a structure for your text. Example of structure : What is depression? 1)what this mean 2) the story of term 3) key signals 4) what to do if you in depression
4. Follow the structure and write.

Don't just copy text from sources; even if it's hard to write on your own, it's the only way to learn it.

Thank you very much for the advice!
