How to get better at writing?
Hey all, I am happy with my speaking / reading and listening level of English. I got a 7.5, 7.0 and 8.0 in IELTS in those areas (C1). But my writing is a 6.0, and honestly, it seriously is bad. Especially the last 2 years since ChatGPT got introduced I constantly use AI to fix my sentences even if its a basic email. My question is, how does one get better at writing? How do you even practice it?
Do the conjuntions "only" + "after which" take subjuntive?
X will happen, ***only after which*** Y **were** real.
Why does britney say Break the ice as “Break THE ice” not “Break THEE ice”? Doesn't “The” pronounce “Thee” if the words after it are plural?

What does this phrase mean?
I saw an ambulance in Melbourne helping a poor guy who had been hit by a taxi, and I noticed a phrase painted on its window. It said, "patient's own stingos applied," but I’m confused about the meaning. When I googled "stingo," it said it’s British slang for beer, which doesn’t seem to fit. Could it be slang for medicine used to treat bug bites because of the word "sting"? Thanks in advance!
Oque significa "bih fye"?

“Have a guess at my mark (score) in English.” “70?” “No, A HUGE/BIG MISS.” Does this sound natural to mean it’s not even close or you’re way off?
