can u tell me how
Well, that depends on you :) Everyone has got their own writing style. Write a story which is convincing rather than writing a fiction story. Put yourself in examiner's place and see whether the stuff you've written is worth reading or not? Make it interesting, bring life to it. Use flashback method or whichever style you prefer.

Hmm, It's a good one but you've overused some words back there. Keep it precise and to the point. Write short sentences which are meaningful. Write a topic sentence which gives an idea about your essay to the examiner.
Your essay is good, it'll score good marks :) So, no worries:)

(a) How to plan an opinion composition

Introduction: : express your opinion on the topic.

Paragraph 2: justify your opinion with examples.

Paragraph 3: Present the opposing viewpoint.

Conclusion: Restate your opinion but do not just repeat yourself. Consider writing about consequences or a new dimension of the same issue.

(b) How to plan an opinion composition suggesting advantages and disadvantages:

Introduction: Introduce the problem and state its causes.

Paragraph 2: Write about the advantages and develop through examples

Paragraph 3: Write about the disadvantages and develop through examples.

Conclusion: State your opinion and pick up a side!.

( c ) Beginnings and Endings

There are many ways of beginning(introduction) and ending(conclusion) an opinion composition. Read the following model paragraphs and pay special attention to the expressions in bold. These are only suggested ways of beginning and ending an opinion composition. IGCSE examiners love them,though!

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered what it must be like to wake up in the morning and realise that you can no longer use your computer? For millions of people this is certainly a frightening thought. Indeed, they cannot possibly imagine their lives without them. Because of this dependence on the computer which we have developed, I strongly believe that it has become indispensable to us and it is here to stay!

Conclusion:

It is true to say that the computer has invaded our lives and changed the way we communicate forever. Let us not forget, though, that the computer has also promoted a very passive lifestyle.

Brief Reminder

Remember the essential paragraph structure : -

-topic sentence: it introduces the main idea of your paragraph

-supporting sentences: they provide examples, illustrations or arguments which support the topic sentence.

-closing sentence: round off your paragraph with a kind of conclusion

Remember to use transitions to pass on smoothly from one sentence to another and from one paragraph to the next.

Remember! Unless you think you can master English better than your own language DO NOT attempt to write one sentence for a paragraph!

Guys, are descriptive writings tough? Like what exactly a person needs to score very high in descriptive writing?
I don't think so. All you have to do is describe the given situation :)
Give as many details about the topic as possible :) Make the essay interesting.
