How can you improve your writing style?

I'm supposed to write more reports and texts these days, and I'm sometimes unsure about the style… leaving out words… It should be easy to read…

For example:

Mr. Ulrich built a garage behind his house and furnished it with his own furniture.

(Do you write: behind your house, or behind the house?)

A few days ago Mr. Wiese came to him and asked him for a favor

( …to him and asked him for a favor or to him and asked for a favor?)

In my opinion, “Mr. Ulrich built a garage behind his house and furnished himself with his own furniture. A few days ago, Mr Wiese came to him and asked for a favor.” I would not say flat-rate that more or less words sound better, but that you always have to weigh down situation-related. It already makes a huge difference whether the text is written for a novel or a sober protocol.

I hope I could help:)

I’ve almost thought I’m too late, but maybe it’ll help in the future.

Style is also a lot of habit. I like to read books with a “good” style and use designs from it.

In my job (mathematics/informatics) you have to write very precise and complete. Unfortunately, this leads to complex bandwurmsatzs and very long texts. I can’t do that too. 😂

The best way is to set this by reading the text yourself out loud. At the places where you stumble verbally, you need to rework.
