Try it step by step

  • Ask whether you answered the question before judging individual mistakes.
  • Choose one useful example and one place where the meaning was unclear.
  • Repeat with one change instead of trying to fix everything.

Example to adapt

  • If your answer lists three hobbies without explanation, keep one hobby and describe a recent experience.

Self-check

  • Did I answer the actual question?
  • Did I include a reason, detail or example where appropriate?
  • What one thing will I try differently next time?
