If you want to write like a native speaker, try to read a variety of texts and learn to use phrasal verb and idioms. Most of the time, we are exposed to the formal English language in news channel and always use it as a formal language in our workplace. But native spaker won't speak in this way. They will use more informal language in daily conversations and informal writings such as diary. Try to get one or two friends using English as their native langauge and start to write to them using phrasal verbs and idioms in the format of diary or some casual online chat. That would improve your English a lot.
