how did you got A* in English second language? please help I rely want to know

I made sure not to lose any mark in comprehensions, note-making and forms.
For summary our teacher told us to memorize linking words for example: Moreover, however, etc.
I memorized a good introduction and conclusion for the informal and formal letters, since I could use it for most of the letters. For example:
Dear XYZ,
I hope this letter finds you all hale and hearty I am quite fine myself......

As for the essay I read alot of essays that I thought could appear in the exam. Mostly about technology, sport and similar stuff.
I suggest you read the essays from here: www.teenink.com
One thing to remember is the examiner don't give you marks for the number of sayings you quote but for the sophistication of the language you use.
