Where is that from?

Edit - Nevermind, I found it: https://www.dymockstutoring.edu.au/2019-hsc-responses-english-advanced-short-answer/

it probably doesn't have to be as detailed as them, but when you do these short answers take note of the sample answers, and use that as a basis moving forward. something i also find useful is just generally have a 'thesis/idea' bank of the different emotions/feelings that can arise from different human experiences just as something to fall back on if you really cant think. you can use the sample answers of short answer tests for these banks. also if possible try to get your teacher to mark practice short answers

Just have a scaffold in your mind lmao

Example
the composer [ does something ] through [something]

The [technique] in [ quote] epitomises [something]. To further...
Hence, [some link sentence].

ngl i do e1 english and i got in by a fluke so i feel this way about some of my classmates' work

i am pretty good at eng tho and yeah you basically have a structure in your head as to how you want your response. as for the interesting sentence structures and flow of sentences, you will notice that after the first sentence, they all use stuff like "further reinforced" and "continues" and "morover" which ensures a flow to your main argument. and as you write more and more draft essays (high effort essays that you perfect in non-timed conditions) will eventually remember all the diff sentence types you could use to say certain things and it will eventually just come to you.
