ANECDOTE

Short-Term Apartment, Big Location Payoff

  • Joe lives in an apartment and has stayed there for about three months.
  • He values the location because it's a five-minute walk from the metro which suits his busy schedule.
ADVICE

Describe Distances With Time+Transport

  • Use patterns like 'a five-minute walk from' or 'a 20-minute drive from' to describe distances clearly.
  • Combine a unit of time with 'walk/drive/flight' and 'from' to give natural location phrases.
INSIGHT

Paraphrase Adjectives Into Nouns

  • Paraphrasing key adjectives into nouns (e.g., convenient -> convenience) helps vary language.
  • Such transformations display flexibility and strengthen band scores.
