Learn writing formal texts

[DennisFabian]

Hello there,

I am really willing to learn writing formal texts, for instance analyses and summaries, because I am currently absolving my A-levels in Germany.

The problem is, that I don't really know, how I could improve my writing skills..
Is there an effective way except reading books or so ?

I think it is really important because I am doing the advanced english course and my first term paper have been 7/15 points (3-). I am not satisfied about that result even if I have 11 points orally(?).

In about one week I am writing the second term paper, and I have much time to learn.

Does anyone have a good idea/hint for me ?

Regards,
Dennis Fabian
