I think you should just write about different stages in your day and like why/how you do it.

Who/What/When/Where/Why that could work here?

Go over the top with descriptions. Stick adverbs everywhere. For example, if you draw the curtains, describe how you drew them, and what they did, and what happened when you did, and what you could see, and how you reacted to that.

e.e. I ambled over to the curtains, squinting at the blazing sun that pierced through the gap. I grabbed ahold of the curtains and drew them slowly, revealing the bustling urban city life below. I peered over the streets, observing the passers by. Adults tugged at their children's hands, hauling them off to school. Cars beeped at eachother, impatiently. A couple of pigeons quarreled over some leftovers from someone's breakfast sandwich, pecking vigorously at the crumbs.

So that's 4 sentences 100% waffle. But damn is that good waffle. And you haven't even left your bedroom yet. So much more happens in the day than you think :P

I got my 19/20 on this :) a* rite.. Lol what i did was used Humour as a source of entertainment! I think the best element is to randomely start babbling on about things in this style of essay like: I set off from home for another boring day at the prison, a.k.a School! Builders working on the new houses down the road terrify me with their big machinery, stupid people, there not gonna buy the houses anyway, they look atrocious.

That kinda thing. that was off the top of my head!! :D:D lol

Goodluck. im sure youll do fine!
