Please note the following:

There is no need to include an introduction or conclusion in your response to each question. As a structural model please refer to the following P.E.A model for paragraph structure. Note: Paragraphs should have one main idea. They should be logically arranged to unpack ideas for the reader in a systematic way. The writer should not assume the reader has knowledge. Paragraphs under 3 sentences are not considered legitimate.

P.E.A model for paragraph structure:

P= main point or topic sentence where you indicate the main idea of the paragraph. It need only be one to two sentences at the start of your paragraph.

E= evidence which makes up the major part of the paragraph, and is where you supply definitions, explanations, examples and evidence in a logical and systematic way leading to

A= analysis where you summarise the main point arising out of the discussion in E.

For example, Therefore, it can be seen that. This section only needs to be one to two sentences.
