1. Ask yourself questions

To expand a topic of discussion there might be a need to ask yourself questions about this topic. When writing a skill in an application letter such as the ability to drive. Ask yourself questions. When, Where, Why, What & How. Write when you learnt how to drive, where you learnt how to drive, why you acquired this skill, what motivated you to drive what type of car did you learn to drive, how were you taught, how did you feel when you first learnt to drive. This can provide a paragraph with a few more sentences to make you document longer. Web English
