For your point #3 (Style and structure) I found that essay writing is a very important part of "English speaking" curriculum, while in other countries it may be neglected (particularly if your major is not in humanities).

Obvious answer here is a lot of practice. You can benefit a lot if your can take an English writing class where your teacher will review your essays and suggest a number of improvements. At some point in the past, I considered myself already fluent in English (i.e. had sufficient vocabulary and grammar knowledge), yet writing even a simple essay was a very daunting task. With more practice, this had become easier, though I'm still not quite at the level of a college educated native speaker.
