• Linking Words – use these to form longer & more interesting sentences
• Accuracy – check Spellings, Accents, Word Order, Agreement (masc. &
fem.)
• Refer to the Past, Present and Future!!
• Lots of opinions and justify them
Your whole piece of writing should be between 250 and 300 words – that
is between 42 and 50 words per paragraph!
