given this fact, I would like to ask you propose phrases that are useful for oral or written speech, having in mind the oral exams (interviews, photo description, etc) and written exams (writing letter and essay)

to give an example I would say:

"en pocas palabras, puedo decir que..." (to start a photo description)
"en por otro lado, tenemos que subrayar que..." (to introduce opposite arguements in an essay)
"sería una gran omisión no mencionar que..." (it would be great omission not to mention that... = to introduce new arguement)
etc

thanks!

Correcciones hechas.

Por otro lado, tu idea es buena, pero que tal si cada persona que necesita algo específico lo trata de escribir, como tu lo hiciste, y aquí se corrige?
