Time pressure : I do section A last as it is easier to rush through. In extreme cases skip 5 marker.
25 marker: 1 paragraph intro , 3 para main argument ( 2 para for and 1 against or other way round) 1-2 para conclusion with recommendations.
hope this helped

Intro should be like a summary of the points that you are going to speak about, its more for student guidance so that you and the examiner know what your going to talk about.

Thank you! Do you know of any links, websites etc where I can find an example of one? Or like a model essay?
