You can only get high marks in quality of language if you included a variety of clauses..
Wenn
Weil (sparingly)
um..zu
als, bevor, bis, da, damit, dass, nachdem, obwohl, seitdem, sobald and wie
Use modal verbs
Include past (perfect and imperfect), present and future in any way you can
Descriptive words which are not good, bad, interesting, boring

Good luck :smile:
