b starting sentences with ‘And’ and ‘But’ – the people people make simple connections between thoughts
and events, and the practicalities of life are what matter to them

c the simple and monosyllabic diction – their vocabulary and knowledge is restricted by their life and
surroundings; they express themselves in clear but basic language in order to be understood
