tools: 5W1H, commonsense/logical thinking. Avoid problem of disjointed narrative/disrupted flow of plot. Assume examiners are stupid

good example: Annie was walking home from school. Suddenly, she heard a loud meowing coming from the trees. Upon closer look, Annie found a cat stuck in the tree.
技巧二:七情六欲 character's emotions/feelings
喜 Happy – elated
激 Excited – brimming with excitment
伤 Sad – melancholy
怒 Angry – enraged, inflamed
急 Anxious – dilated pupils, adrenaline rush
惊 Shock – paralyzed with fear
作文中关于人物的情感描写是至关重要的!考官们不想看到冰冷冷硬帮帮的人物性格。Examiners want characters to react emotively to the given situation. They like drama.
