In the sec 5 core English ministry writing exam, can I (or must I) use pronouns like "I, you, we" and phrases like in "my opinion, I think that" in my opinion text? Or should it stay neutral with words like "one must..."?

Hi DiamantSarcelle2931,
Thank you for your question!
Generally speaking, it's preferable to stay neutral when writing an exam or an essay, but depending on the context, it might be relevant to use personal pronouns. It depends on the tone that you choose to use, and how you wish to tailor the content to the audience.
You can read the following sheet for more informations, specifically the part Tone: I hope this helps!
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions :D
