One way would be to read a lot of the type of writing you want to emulate.

But you'll get the best results by putting a lot of directed and specific practice into it. Ben Franklin wrote about his method in his autobiography. He would try to reproduce passages he admired from memory. Then he would check his work and repeat until he reproduced it verbatim. Then he would repeat but try to improve it.
