A good style is...

To understand how to learn to write articles, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the signs of good journalistic text. Here are the basics.

• 
  The text is dominated by a vigorous valid pledge. The sedative is minimally or completely absent. (Compare: The gardener destroyed the pests. - The pests were destroyed by the gardener).
  
• 
  Emphasis - on verbs and nouns. Other parts of speech, including adjectives, are present in smaller numbers, but must draw a picture (Compare: Car knocked down the fence - Massive Land Cruiser knocked down the brick fence.)
  
• 
  Words are short, simple, vocabulary is normative, without stamps, unspoken words, neologisms.
  
• 
  Sentences are simple narrative; If complex, the preference is for complex, rather than complex, subordinates. No more than 18 words. Short and long sentences alternate - this creates a dynamic text.
  
• 
  There’s a back story to fill the reader in.
  
• 
  Unclear terms are explained.
  
• 
  All questions have been answered.
  
• 
  There are no allegations.
  
• 
  There are no minor details.
  
• 
  The material will not be delayed («Brevity is the sister of talent»).
  

Learn how to do that, hone your style. Wordy, heavy and confusing phrases will become concise and precise.
