Do you find writing compositions difficult? If you follow a few steps you´ll find that it almost writes itself. You only need a clear idea of what you want to say.
Remember that our compositions will have about 150-200 words, that´s 15-20 lines.
TIPS
1) Do not write straight away. Plan before you begin.
2) Write down briefly the main ideas (brainstorming)
3) Your composition should have 3-4 paragraphs: introduction/development/conclusion.
4) Write clear sentences with simple words. Link them with connectors.
5) Stay focused on the main idea of your composition.
6) While writing your essay, it is probable that you will make a few spelling or grammar mistakes. It is a good idea to try to read through your composition once more and correct them.
