Sentences and paragraphs

You will get better marks in writing exams if you think about how you put the text together so it's clear and easy for the reader to understand. Here are some tips. 
  • Keep sentences short and clear. Sometimes very long sentences can be difficult to understand.

  • Use linking words and phrases to organise and connect your ideas. Linking words show you know how to write a text, not just sentences.

  • Use reference pronouns to refer back to things in earlier sentences. This shows you know how to write a text, not just sentences.
