If your concern is with passing decently and not getting
distinction... then it is very simple.
Concentrate on your spelling and grammar.
Read what you have written silently in your head. If it does not
sound smooth, then it is not ok. Think of another way to express
your words again.
Use simple words to ensure that you do not spell wrongly or use
a word which you do not really understand.
Distinction in English usually goes to those who write beautiful
sentences, have the best choice of words for the scenario, their
composition is smooth flowing and pleasing to read.
And I do believe that some people do worse than they could have
because they TRIED to be "distinction quality" candidates. They use
big words which they misspell, misunderstand, write long long under
the misconceived notion that the examiners will be impressed by
them. But what actually happen is that they expose all their
weaknesses to the examiners instead.
Distinction rate for English at O level is around 20%. So it is
highly unlikely for someone weak to "by luck" get a distinction.
Hence it is more sensible to concentrate on making sure that you do
not mess it up.
