No matter what, the most important thing while providing with examples in AWA is that they should be relevant. You need to provide examples that you are familiar with. You can surely use examples from your own country as well.

*Use transition words generously.  Phrases like "for example", "consequently", or "first, second, ... lastly" will help the reader follow your essay's structure more easily. Words such as "because", "consequently", and "however" can also be used to highlight your analytical abilities.

*Be specific.  One of the key criteria graders look for is your ability to present ideas and arguments clearly and persuasively.

*Do not use big words just for the sake of using them.  Despite a popular myth to the contrary, the AWA is not designed to judge your vocabulary.

*Vary the length of your sentences.  This will make your essay easier for the grader to read. It also signals that you are a smart and effective writer.

*Grammar is important.  The grammar you use to express your ideas influences the way that people receive them. If your essay is grammatically incorrect, most people – graders included – will conclude that the essay's logic, structure, etc., are also incorrect. Do not allow this natural bias to harm your essay grade.


Wish you all the best!!
