Le plus souvent possible, faites des phrases courtes. N'essayez pas de faire des phrases trop longues et trop élaborées, sinon vous risquez de changer le sens de ce que vous aimeriez dire.
In diesem Teil können Sie lernen, alles zu beschreiben. Scheuen Sie sich nicht, dies zu tun, auch wenn die Beschreibungen manchmal etwas eigenartig klingen. Verwenden Sie so viel wie möglich kurze Sätze. Versuchen Sie nicht, lange und komplizierte Sätze zu kreieren - Sie ändern oder zerstören vielleicht unbeabsichtigt den Sinn.
