GCSE English Literature - how many paragraphs?

Answer part (a) and part (b)
Part (a)
How does Aboulela present families in Something Old, Something New?
and then Part (b)
Write about how the writer presents a family in one other story from
Sunlight on the Grass.

I've been practising doing half the question (i.e. just part (a)) and I can only just write three points, in three paragraphs, in 20 minutes.
How much did y'all write on section a? How many points did you make? Would a total of 6 paragraphs, but with no intro/conclusion, be enough?
Thanks for any help, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm not doing this exam for a good few months but I really want to start preparing for it ASAP, soooo...
how many paragraphs should I write for Section A?
We have 45 minutes, and the question is like this:

I would aim for 4-5 sides in 45 minutes
