I don’t know if what your cousin said is technically true. It’s good to just keep on writing and don’t stop writing, but you need to write relevant information.

Say you write about…oh I don’t know…how minorities could be overrepresented/underrepresented by a winner take all system versus proportional representation.

Fluffing your response with “sparkly” adjectives won’t get you points. Saying “minorities will be underrepresented by winner take all system because the majority will get 100% representation this reflecting the views of the majority and not the minority” is far better than saying “minority are a group that is less than the majority. They can’t get a word in because the majority’s views outnumber the minorities. In a winner take all system the winner takes all. (Insert a an example if how winners can take all”.

OK. That was a really crappy example, but, hey, I’m dusting cobwebs lol

Basically, your response doesn’t need to be fluffy. You don’t have time. Get to the point. If they want a reason why the executive branch can’t declare war. Tell them. Don’t tell them about the other jobs of the executive branch. You only get points for what they ask.

It’s good to keep on writing about relative information. If they ask for three examples five give them four or five, if you can. They keep reading, looking for answers. So if you gave them four answers when they asked for three and one of them were wrong, you’d still get the points for three examples.

Hope I helped!
