I am in desperate need of A* phrase / sentences/ paragraphs that are related to the the following criteria:
-Describe school
-Compare to primary school
-Favourite aspects of school life
-Future plans
-How could I improve school life/ the school
Thank you so much, I will be forever in your debt


If you're expecting someone to write your essay from scratch then you'll be sorely disappointed.

It would be much better to make a good effort at it and paste here your attempts so that native speakers such as myself can assist your further :smile:
From my personal experiences with GCSE Spanish, there are a few aspects to avoid and key factors to include.
So avoid:
Cliches "que sera sera" for example
Basic sentence structure "el edificio es feo." ""Me gusta educacion fisica"
Long, boring paragraphs. Keep it short and and concise

Remember to include
idioms - Collins does a great idioms book
A range of sentence structure ie "me gusta las clases de ingles, porque el profesor lo hace interesante, asi es muy emocionante"
Use a lot of opinions also, and use a thesaurus for better, more sophisticated language
