YOU MUST USE A VARIETY OF VOCABULARY TO GET THE BETTER MARKS.

USE A RANGE OF ADJECTIVES THAT DESCRIBE IN THE CONVERSATION.

YOU MUST USE LANGUAGE THAT FITS THE PERSON SPEAKING AND THE SITUATION.

e.g. When I got to my tent I saw that everything was gone. I was so angry, as I'd lost some valuable articles. It's not just the money, there was the sentimental value too, and well, it's the principle of the thing. I went straight to the police hut to report it and make sure that something got done about it. I saw a young constable, who seemed indifferent about the whole situation.
        "Good afternoon, can I help you?" asked the policeman; he seemed to be bored, as if he didn't really want to be there. I suppose that in my frustration I could have been mistaken about his tone of voice, but I got angry anyway; probably not the best way to start the conversation.
        "Yes, you can, I've had all my gear nicked and I want you to do something about it."
