Hi Clive, thank you for your help. Well, these sentences actually have not been written by me:) I just must paraphrase them. For example,
Organ transplantation is just not effective- The effectiveness of organ transplantation is very low. I do not know if it is correct to write that effectiveness is low, but I created this sentece that show what the task should more or less look like:)

bakeros, I have sympathy for your assignment, but I can't endorse it.
Direct writing is so much preferable to indirect writing.
In your organ donation example, the original is superior to the rewrite.
If someone said my writing read like an academic wrote it, I'd be insulted.
