Definition of Style

Galperin: Functional style of language is a system of interrelated language means which serves a definite aim in communication.
The style in writing can be defined as the way a writer writes and it is the technique which an individual author uses in his writing. It varies from author to author and depends upon one’s syntax, word choice, and tone.

Avoid redundancy
Redundancy in writing is where you use more words than necessary to express the required meaning. For example:
	
There are desirable benefits to be gained from increasing research into English.
...would be better phrased as:
There are benefits to be gained from increasing research into English. 
[Benefits are always desirable, so "desirable" is redundant.]
