If you’re writing an interview, this is as simple as using the first bullet point/question they give you as the interviewer’s first question.
If you are not writing an interview, you should use the words of the bullet point to write an opening sentence to your paragraph.
Writing in your own words include 5-7 details from the paragraph which are clearly linked to the bullet point. Make sure you write in character. This should be the longest section of your paragraph.
Look at the details your paraphrase. Write a final comment in character, explaining how your character thinks and feels about what they have just described.

21. Now to write our TPC for A
This train journey is not what I had expected and an already stressful morning has just got worse. First I had the mad rush to the station to catch the train, struggling to dash in my high heels which just added to the stress. I got on the train and the WIFI was not working which is VERY frustrating when I have s to send for the next 3 hours.
I am also totally uncomfortable as the air conditioning has broken and people are removing clothing like they are on a beach. It is totally inappropriate and making me feel slightly disgusted as too much flesh is exposed.
