Some Remarks on SA1 Composition

Dear 2B,

Here are some pointers you can refer to when revising for your COMPOSITION....

  1. Write in the Past Tense.
  2. Try to use all helping words given in the right context.
  3. Refrain from including too many dialogues.
  4. Ensure there are at least 3 paragraphs - Do Not forget to have a 2-finger spacing when you start a paragraph.
  5. Write in a narrative form - it must be story-like....DON'T merely describe the pictures.
  6. Expand the content.....include a nice beginning...develop the story well...end well too.
  7. Keep sentences short to minimise too many grammatical or spelling errors.
  8. Please make use of the right punctuation....end sentences with a full-stop. Include commas exclamation and question marks where necessary
  9. Write neatly PLEASE...
  10. Once your composition is completed...read the text and correct any errors spotted by you.

All the best......We will practice one more composition tomorrow!
