How to Make English Writing Sound More Natural

A draft can be grammatically correct and still feel unnatural. The problem is often not vocabulary. It is rhythm. When every sentence has the same length, the same transition, and the same polished tone, the writing starts to feel manufactured.

A more natural paragraph mixes movement. It may begin with a direct claim, slow down for a detail, then use a shorter sentence to land the point. That unevenness is not a flaw. It is often what makes the writing feel alive.

Transitions also matter. AI-generated text tends to overuse formal connectors such as however, moreover, and therefore. Human writing often lets the sequence of ideas do some of that work instead of labeling every turn.
