I have watched all the lectures concerning this question. The English used by the notes and you is much simpler than the complex English used by the answers at the back of the bpp book. The important words seems to be in bold. In the exam, I am pretty sure I won’t be able to match the English level of the bpp answers. What should I do?

You do not need to use complex English in the exam. You will not lose marks for poor English or for using simple words – the marks are for proving you understand things.

How is the marking done? Is it marked solely on using specific keywords?

No – it is not marked on specific keywords.
If you look at some of the past exams on the ACCA website, then the last page of the answers shows the marking scheme that is used by the markers.
