If I am struggling in writing, what is a good way to improve my writing? I'm a 9th grader who is really bad with English.

Read, read,
read, read.  You are then reading the writings of others--the flip side, so to speak.  Find one
good author that you like and read work after work.  Soon, you will find yourself imitating the
sentence structure of this author. A friend loved Thomas Hardy's novels and soon began sentences
with participial phrases, just as Hardy often does.

People who are voracious
readers have a command of the language from so much exposure to sentences. Imitate the style of
an author you like and practice these sentences daily.
