To answer this section well, you need to really know three things. Firstly, you are advised to write in the present continuous tense. Therefore, you must know the meaning of the present continuous tense.
PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
When we talk about tenses, we are referring to the verbs. In the present continuous tense, the verbs look like this:

Apart from the tense, you must know about adjectives. There are certain adjectives that you will commonly use when answering this section.
ADJECTIVES
An adjective describes or tells us more about a particular noun. It occurs before the noun and we can use more than one adjective to describe a noun.

Last but not least, to be able to score higher marks for this section you must know about the adverbs.
