Too many grammar mistakes
A student wrote the following message:
"My teacher told me that I have to practise grammar because I make too many basic grammar mistakes in my essays."
Here's my advice for this student, or anyone in a similar situation:
First, I hope your teacher helped you to understand your grammar mistakes, instead of just telling you to go away and practise grammar.
Second, maybe the problem is that you are trying too hard to "show off" and use "difficult" language or structures. What will happen when you stop trying to write like this, and start writing in a simple but accurate way instead? The answer to your problem might not be to "practise grammar"; it might just be that you need to adjust your aim.
