That was Echo. She tried to hide Zeus from Hera when he was having a party with the nymphs. Hera was angry. So Hera only allowed Echo to repeat the last three words of what ever was said to Echo.

How do people write a good myth to get top marks?

When writing a myth, do exactly what the Greeks and Romans did when creating a good myth - imagine.The Greeks and Romans used their imagination and the knowledge that they had to make a myth to explain the world around them, as they could not explain it themselves because they had no science back then.For example, there is an old myth of the Echo. To summarize it, there was an old nymph who loved a boy, but Zeus had loved that nymph, and due to Hera's jealousy, Hera made the nymph only be able to speak what was already spoken, and forever doomed to repeat it. The nymph never was able to attract the boy, because all she could do is repeat what he said, and since the nymph's name was Echo, that is how we came to know the echo in the cave, since the nymph loves to hide in caves.Think beyond what you know now as fact, and use the example above as a basis to write your story. Try to write a myth that starts out as a story, but later progresses into a gradual explanation of the world around us today that can only be explained by science and cold hard facts, such as the wind, and as the example above showed, the echo.That is how most people write myths of their own, and is exactly how the Greeks and Romans created their myths.
