I would suggest you learn how to plan responses for paper 1:

Idea– write a brief general idea for what you are going to write about
Language– create a list of 5-10 language techniques which you will aim to include in your answer
Structure– choose 2 or 3 structural techniques which you would like to include
Punctuation– write out a selection of punctuation that you are going to use
Interesting element– think of something which will set your answer apart and make it more enthralling to read

For paper 2 learn the different styles of text you can be asked about (key features) and use the structure:
Intro- overall points and use a triplet
3 main paragraphs- each on different view points
Conclusion- repeat the triplet
