1. Do we need to add "Dear Sir or Madam" ?
2. Do we need to make paragraphs (maybe 2 or 3)?
3. Do we need to make the first line indent on each paragraph?

hi hell911

1. the greetings you need to use is normally indicated in the writing instructions.
2. it does not matter how many paragraphs you will do.
3. not necessary but you may if you want to indicate it is a new paragraph. you don't even have to leave a line to show it is another paragraph, but again you may if you want. however, that will only limit your available space to achieve the number of words.

i did not do indentions nor left a line for a new paragraph.

cheers

Paragraphs are indeed a very important aspect of written test. See this video: youtu.be/Ct8JR_dgbns

If you don't divide text into paragraphs, you might lose half a point or so.

Hi,

Actually the concept of your topic is the important thing, how you write accurately and effectively. You can also use different figure of speech to add up some points in your writing exam. Hope it helps =)
