Examples of sentences I have learned to use are simple, compound, or complex, and in this response I have used all three types of sentences to deliver this answer.  · Addresses the question/prompt  · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Includes basic key points of the topic, but keeps ideas simple or at surface level <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 207pt; mso-list: l7 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Uses complete sentences most of the time. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 207pt; mso-list: l7 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Minor errors in content or conventions <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 207pt; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo4; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">EXAMPLE **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">: I am proud of how much I have grown as a writer.
