My writing uses effective word choice

This means you have used powerful verbs (action words) and quality adjectives (describing words) to grab your reader’s attention. You used adjectives to describe your nouns. You used more sophisticated words when possible (e.g. instead of a word like “big” you use “gigantic”). You used some specialized terminology. You used some non high frequency words properly.

My writing has strong sentence fluency and structure

This means your sentences are appropriate lengths. Some are short; sometimes just one to a few words. Some sentences are complex because they use markers (e.g. but, and). There are no run on sentences.
