I am rubbish at writing French

The thing is, I dont get why, but I cant think straight or well without repeating and I never hit the 150 word count in French writing mocks or even Spanish. I dont seem to struggle at all with reading but for the 2 bullet AQA question, I find it near impossible to write the full 150 words.
I am in a grammar school so we are made to do the higher tier as well but still I struggle to write 100/150 words. Please someone advise.

Other platforms or TSR where there’s a Study together for people who are doing French https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7447498

Mais moi aussi, j’ai du mal à écrire en français.

Hi, I found it good to try and split the two bullet points into four is you can e.g. if it asks Qu'est-ce que tu fais pour célébrer ton anniversaire normalement? You could split it into normally and however this year/last year or compare to another person e.g. par contre ma sœur aime mieux danser etc.

When writing you want to use an ORCOR structure for each sentence.
Opinion
Reason
Connective
Opinion
Reason.
Use intensifiers and time phrases to boost word count e.g. je n'aime pas du tout OR J'adore écouter de la musique quand je suis en train de étudier. You can try to end sentences in idioms and you can add an example after a sentence. E.g. in response to what do you usually eat:

Souvent, je mange sainement parce que il faut rester en bonne forme. Par exemple, tous les jours, j'aime prendre les haricots verts car ils me plaisent - très savoureux!!

Basically, try to show off!! Hopefully that helps and it's not too late! Best of luck
