The Review of My English Tests
I'm a student and I take the same English test every year. When reviewed the tests of the past five years, I noticed that my weak point is always the same. Every year, the graders write for my writing, "Grammar is not used in the proper sentences and you should use more sophisticated vocabulary," and for my speaking, vocabulary and fluency are both fine, but not good. How can I fix them? It's hard find and learn "sophisticated" vocabulary. I always try to write and speak within the vocabulary I already have. I'll try writing more here, though. Maybe reading books will help. I've never finished reading English books other than those for English learners. I think my writing and speaking are childish while my reading and listening skills are pretty good. I think it's thanks to the American TV shows I watch a lot. Can I have some advice because I'm going to take the same test soon?

fine=good, so if it is fine, it cannot be "not good", so you need a stronger word than good

Feedback
On the first day of my C2-level Italian class, our instructor told us that we had reached this level for one reason: we read--A LOT and regularly--in the target language. You are at a level where you should pick up regular books in English--books for English speakers. Maybe look in the teenage/adolescent section since those are usually a bit simpler.
Next: WRITE. Daily.
And above all: stop sticking to the vocabulary you know. You need to push yourself to go beyond. Find out where your gaps of knowledge are.
But above all: read, read, read, read, read.
Good luck! Your English is already quite strong. You just need to read more to reach the next level.

"Grammar is not used in the proper sentences" sounds clunky.

I think reading more is the answer. If you don't like books you could try articles?

This is exam advice rather than language advice: I'd come up with a list of 10-20 "sophisticated" words you can work into many of your exam responses. E.g. if people are angry at something, they're "enraged", if people are upset about losing something they are "devastated". Using "sophisticated" words doesn't mean you're actually better at English, so your best tactic is probably to practice deliberately putting them into your writing. Be careful not to go too far though - too many and you'll sound unnatural.
What you've written here is good. Good luck with your test!

Hi! Overall, your writing is very clear and I had no problem understanding it. I changed some of the sentence structures because they seemed as though you were directly translating it from another language (they weren't grammatically wrong but they weren't very natural either). When it comes to advice, I think the best idea is to listen as much as you can but also write. Writing is a skill regardless of each individual's native language, so in my opinion, that is the only way to improve :>
