      Introduction is fine, after that you can just briefly mention different types of pressure groups along with some examples. ( institutional interest groups, associational interest groups, non-associational, anomic). You can use a flowchart to keep it brief.
      Next part is good.
      First four points are good. Last point on illegitimate methods can’t be said to be exactly methods used by pressure groups. Pressure groups are considered an indispensable part of the democratic process, however, use of such methods are not at all democratic. Those events can act as a starting point for the pressure groups. Anomic pressure groups use these events to breakthrough in the political system. You can just mention ‘demonstrations and processions’ as a technique.
      Other than these pressure groups also finance political parties, involve other civil society organizations which can be talked about. In petitions, you can also mention the use of PILs to bring about change.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
