Aim at every criterion: Three simple habits help with all four criteria at once.
Not only grammar: Language is 12 of the 30 marks. The other 18 are for your ideas and the conversation.
The three moves
1
Interpret, don't list
Say what the image suggests, not only what is in it. (B1)
2
Answer + reason + example
Never stop at "yes". Add "because…" and "for example…". (B2, A)
3
Keep it going
Answer the real question, then invite more: "What about you?" (C)
Interpret → Develop → Keep it going
Mark yourself: When you practise, find the exact words that show each criterion. If you can't point to them, add them.
