Your own creative writing is marked by the quality of your sentences. In a story if you write...
The man went in the shop.
It is not interesting, and it tells the reader nothing. If you describe the man (with adjectives), and say how he went (with a good verb and adverb) and what sort of shop (an adjective and a better noun), then the reader will be interested.
In your exam and coursework you will also obtain a much better grade.
The man went in the shop
The suspicious looking old man crept quietly into the old tobacconists.
