Example
There is a foreign student in our schoolbuilding.
The student asks you:

What is the easiest way to get to the city centre?

Slide 7 - Slide

That was not an easy question to answer. Because, it depends on how difficult the task is, it depends on the level of difficulty. 
student A's answer

With the bus. 


(This answer is not very helpful. And also it is not correct English, as you may have noticed. )
student B's answer
The easiest way is to go there by bus. If you walk out of this building you will see a bus stop on this side of the road, a little bit to your right. There you should take line ... which will take you to the Grote Markt. That's the city centre.

Slide 8 - Slide

It is easy to see that student B shows a higher level of English than student A.
