Writing a desert island scene

Sentences should be said aloud before writing to ensure they make sense and read back once written to check for errors. Ambitious vocabulary and figurative language create a vivid picture in the reader's mind. Writers choose varied fronted adverbials and different sentence types to ensure the text flows for the reader. Careful selection of nouns and pronouns ensures cohesion within sentences and across sections of a written piece. Past simple, progressive and perfect verb forms can be used to improve text cohesion.
