If you have too many sentences to choose from, here are some tips to help you to score better…
• Choose sentences that describe actions or activities in the picture.
• Choose compound sentences.• Choose sentences that are not repetitive or redundant
(e.g. avoid choosing too many sentences that end the same way, i.e. ‘at the playground’).
• Choose sentences that have interesting words, phrases or that have a different structure.
