You should exaggerate a little in your answer to impress the interviewer.

Explanation:

Exaggerating, or creating a sense of inaccuracy or deception, during an interview is never a good option, for both ethical and practical reasons. Ethically because misleading the interviewer could be considered a form of fraudulent communication —one should always strive to communicate information honestly and directly. Also, for practical reasons, it is not a good option since all information provided in an interview can be corroborated, evaluated, and checked so that all inaccurate information that the interviewee provides can be exposed as either factual or not.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
