1. Start with your written definition and add a relevant example

"Payments made by the government to firms which lowers their costs of production e.g fuel subsidies which lowers the cost of fuel."

2. Add in a diagram relevant to the question. Always add in a diagram even if it's not 100% relevant to the question as there's no negative marking. Include a very brief description- the diagram needs to be fully labelled but not fully explained.

Full mark response: 

"Payments made by the government to firms which lowers their costs of production e.g fuel subsidies which lowers the cost of fuel."
