It goes without saying that a reasonable command of English is a necessary basis for any kind of text production.
No matter what your assignment may be, you are always expected to state your opinion clearly and to support it with reasonable arguments based on evidence from your text. You have to demonstrate that you are able to argue coherently and consistently.
It might be a good idea to establish a frame of reference in your opening paragraph before you outline your position and go into details.
The body of your comment should have a clear structure. Compose your text in such a way that your reader can follow your line of thought effortlessly at any time without having to look at the text you are commenting on to find out what you might be talking about.
Your concluding paragraph is of great importance. This is what your examiner reads last and will remember most. Simply repeating yourself is not enough. Finishing the comment off with a relevant quotation, a punch line or another good idea you have will impress your examiner.
Last but not least, avoid digressions! A digression is any line of thought that does not recognizably refer to your assignment. You will lose points for that or even get no points at all!
