Answering this question really is EASY.
The Sample Assessment material showed 8 SMS messages and expects you to write about 4-5 paragraphs.
Whilst we don't know that YOUR data will feature SMS messages, we can assume it will be a similar length.
So, just try to GROUP the data into about 4-5 paragraphs. Don't just blindly work your way through it one text at a time This won't show off your skills. See if any of the texts/tweets/message have anything in common, and tackle these in the same paragraph.
For example, don't do this:
Paragraph one - discusses sms 1
Paragraph two - discusses sms 2
Paragraph three - discusses sms 3...
Because if you do that, you'll find that you eventualy start repeating yourself.
Instead, do it like this...
Paragraph one - discusses all messages which features arguments
Paragraph two - discusses all message which are sent in a more formal context
Paragraph three - discusses all messages which are sent mby older people
Paragraph four - discusses all texts which are SPAM messages or unwanted messages
Paragraph five - discusses all texts sent between close friends and family
ETC ETC ETC.
Do you see the benefit of this??? Essentially, this will guarantee that each PG has a nice specific focus, you won't be repeating yourself, and you should ALWAYS be able to link VERY EASILY to the context of the messages, showing how it is affecting language use.
Carry on reading for more help...
