A trick that worked the best for me, and I'm going to share with you.
At the start take out three random words from dictionary and make a single sentence.
Hunn,
For example, expedient, embezzle, and contagious
Think about it how to make a single sentence,
(let me tell you what sentence really is? A word or group of words that convey a full meaning, for general principle we assign the formula
Subject+verb+object
Now take out words I.e. mentioned above, now evaluate
1.which part of speech these are(already mentioned in the dictionary)
I.e. both contagious and expedient are adjective and embezzle is verb.
Now fix it in the formula I.e.
S+v+o(A contagious and expedient thief embezzles the money....)
Similarly, you can increase the words as well length of the sentence.
After that move to compound sentence and lastly to compound complex.
Now the recipe of good writing is ready to be served.

Once you guys are finished with any one course, you will feel considerable improvement in your writing skills. Moreover, learning from Coursera is fully equipped with fun; it would not make you bore at any cost, in any way, in any environment.

Good luck.

Dear roshnii, just go through the coursera;it is one of the best thing that I observed on this prestigoius forum.Than, come on the forum, and inform me your progress, than I will tell you all the tricks and general principles related to good writing.
Lastly don't fear, I remember Henary Wallace quote"The biggest impediment to human progress is fear,which is against the dignity of mankind."Just try to be relax and whatever you learn, learn from the bottom of your heart.
I hope it will work.

Sir Ramchand's(Karachi-based) rules of precis writing.

1. Count the total number of words in a passage and divide them by 3.
2. Avoid using passive voice.
3. Always use indirect form of speech.
4. Omit all examples, idioms, phrases, proverbs and flowery words.
5. Write important points, make a rough draft and make necessary changes, if required.
6. Make a final draft without any cuttings.

My addition: practice is the key, plus minus three words are allowed. Title should be simple and can be(not necessarily) 5 to 6 words long. (in fact, these too are his point which were told by him generally)

Yours Sincerely
