Heres my introduction for a discursive piece I did last assessment.
The topic was:"Prejudice is one of the most destructive forces in society today."Discuss what you think and feel about this statement.

Prejudice was one of the bugs which escaped Pandora's box. Since then it has flourished. It has probably made the most progress out of all of the bugs;causing death,wars and division; and it has been eating away mankind for ages. However, the situation has been improving. With an increase in globalisation, slavery on the basis of skin color, religious wars, and gender inequality are less severe as compared to the past.
I got 18/25 for this one

Here's my introduction for a descriptive piece i did the assessment before that. I had to describe the situation that occurred when my neighbor asked me to look after her young baby when she went to the grocery store.

He was no more than three. His toothy grin and his slant eyebrows were enough to make him look the sort which Santa keeps on "The Bad List". he had a fluorescent green Post-it stuck on his forehead which made his entry look similar to the great Harry Potter's. I instantly felt sympathy for poor Aunt Petunia.

You need to work on the argumentative a bit... Avoid including too many "it looked like", "similar to"... It makes a sort of repetition-- a recitation.
