Hi Rebeca, Calm down a bit and take a few deep breaths. I'm sure you are going to do just fine. I don't really think it is quite right to help you too much with your exam piece itself but as a couple of pointers - you say it is a small city but you have not told us which city you are talking about.

- Contractions like it's and I've are less formal that saying It is and I have.
- Good luck.

Regarding the constructions I'm actually quite aware that im not supposed to use them.But as i was in a hurry to write the post i had to make it short...Thanks for the help.!! Another question is I seemed to always be confused about using nonetheless and however.Can they be used in the same way??? Can i say:It is a considerably small city
