Writing well even in one's native language requires dedication or
talent, or both. It also requires a broad and profound understanding
of grammar and idiom, and therefore many, maybe most, native English
speakers I've seen write like retards. So don't beat yourself up. I
have encountered a problem similar to yours in French--I can read it
just fine, but I write it very poorly. Long ago, when I had just
finished four years of high school French, I could write it OK, but
it's faded away.
I would suggest that when you get frustrated, just read English--
forget about writing for a while and read, read, read. That's how I
learned to write English, and I was born and raised in New Jersey.
Read modern novels that interest you. The quality of the English in
them will be good enough, as a rule. Subscribe to an English-language
newspaper. Steep yourself in English.
