In this video, we look at how to write a model answer to the following question:
A woman is being questioned by a police officer about a heated argument she witnessed on an evening out with friends. The argument took place in a bar and ended with a violent assault. A knife was discovered later by police in the car park of the bar. ‘Did you see the knife the attacker was holding?’, asked the police officer. ‘I’m not sure there was a knife – yes, there probably was,’ replied the woman. ‘I was so scared at the time that it’s hard to remember, and my friends and I have talked about what happened so many times since that I’m almost not sure what I did see.’
