In first paragraph (introduction) of general paper you are suppose to simply state whether you agree with or refute the topic.
In the body paragraph (it must consist of more than one paragraph) you have to elaborate the topic. Now how to elaborate? Remember that every point you make should be in separate paragraph. If the points are too small you can join two points into one paragraph. Once you have made the point in the opening sentence of the paragraph you must, mind you, you must support the points with examples. Example can be from personal experience, history, books, newspaper, etc. Remember when you are making up any personal example make sure that the example is plausible. You make one point and give example.
Now in the concluding paragraph (conclusion) you are suppose to rephrase your statement of introduction paragraph.

and i suppose there has to be many facts in the essay or u wont be awarded marks? am i right?

Exactly. There has to be a lot of facts in your essay. Your essay is mostly awarded on those facts. If you give general discussion of the topics without giving relevant and good examples you will get very less marks. If you make few grammatical mistakes, it might be neglected.
