How should I structure the essay question in my exam?

You need to have done some research on different topics (they will be in your text book) relating to a French-speaking country. In your answer you must include some facts that you have learned, whilst keeping them relevant to the question.  The essay itself should include a small introduction and a small conclusion, but what's important are the paragraphs in between. These should be one per point that you are making, three or four in total, depending on how long they are.
