*Try and use transition words and phrases to begin paragraphs and add flow to your essay, you want you reader to smoothly enjoy reading your narrative.
*AVOID brief, choppy, underdeveloped paragraphs. AVOID paragraphs that drag on too long, aim for the ranges I’ve given, they are flexible but a good guide.
