Use a formal language and resist adding in unnecessary adjectives/adverbs. Keep your sentences concise and clear (no winding sentences that go in circles!). You're explaining ideas in a formal way, so try not to use similes, metaphors or anything that can NOT be taken in a literal sense. In other words, everything that you write has to be literal. Also, do not be vague. Try to avoid saying things "a lot" (how much?), "interesting" (how so?), or other general adjectives.
I hope this helps!

Stop thinking you're the next Stephen King might help.
Study punctuation some more, too.

Be literal, be formal, be clear & concise. Try not to use figurative language, make a point. State facts, support all ideas with facts...
