I am new in the working world and I happen to be given a lot of tasks related with creating report.

Later on I heard people give me comments that my sentence structure and my word choices are not professional enough (in a corporate world).

I start to think that I need to improve this. Can anyone suggest/advice me tips on how to be professional in writing? If you have some websites to recommend, it will be nice too.

Several mistakes that I am usually critized:

1. Word choices are too simple and not specific
2. Lengthy and shorty sentences
3. Usage of first person in the sentence
4. I don't utilize several strong ms word features that actually ease report making, can someone suggest me on this?
