Your Checklist (A whole recipe/essential ingredients)‏

Cambridge Examiner, with his own vigilant eye, will be checking how very wide range your expression holds.
Well, Story-Writing is the one and only option (No time to regurgitate all those rotten reasons. You know this well. And let this subject be no more debatable a thing.)
You need to have a ready available checklist list in your mind, on your finger tips to make sure whether you’re succeeding in inserting the following ingredients into the text:
  • Use of 7/8 descriptive verbs
  • Using words metaphorically/figuratively
  • Use of absolute phrase
  • Use of appositive
  • Use of hyphenated adjective
  • A couple of phrasal verbs
  • Use of all-capital-letters for one or two words to show emphasis
  • Use of dialogue in the story (and not excessive use of that)
  • Suspense (keeping something hidden, and unleashing that gradually to keep your reader’s mind hooked up till the end.)
  • An interesting twist in the mid
  • A spark of humour (expressed either by using an Oxymoron or in any other way)
  • Techniques to show emphasis 
  • Use of varied structures for sentences
  • Description of situations, feelings, emotions (which must not be excessive)
  • A good choice of setting
  • A striking opening as well as ending
