Writing a composition or an essay is like presenting a series of images about what happened to a person who is reading or listening.
From reading the composition, the reader should be able to see, hear, taste, smell and feel what you saw, heard, tasted, smelt and felt.
Let's say you are writing about being at the beach one hot afternoon, the person reading your composition should be able to see the crowd lying lazily in the sand, feel the hot sand underneath and be able to hear the sound of the ocean waves lapping and the children screaming at each other...
"pass me the ball, pass me the ball!" Let the reader see whether you are having fun or not and give reasons why this is so.
The reader should be able to see images in his mind's eyes.
When asked to write a composition, relax, have a plan and start writing down your ideas.
When you are done, read your composition and check and correct the mistakes you might have made.
Hand in your composition and have the opportunity to celebrate by buying yourself some candy, chocolate, lollipop or just think about it as time well spent on something you really enjoyed doing.
