Submitting extract from a longer essay
I would suggest to focus on the most important part of the essay, i.e. the part you feel the strongest about and where you really get into the details of the topic, and leave out introduction &amp; conclusion for the most part and instead write an abstract which summarises these points. Of course do keep bits of the introduction &amp; conclusion to lead into &amp; out of the topic, but that might only be a sentence or two and mainly for readability.
