Hints on Writing Compositions

1. The most important thing is to ead the question carefully, and make sure that you answer every part of it.
2. Make notes on what you are planning to include in your composition, ans work out a clear and logical plan.
3. Think about the register you should write in. Is it formal or nformal? If you are writing a note, letter, article or report, who is it for?
4. To make your plan clear, write in clearly-defined paragraphs, which should be indented, or separated by a line space. Each paragraph should represnt a step forward in your thinking, or a new topic, but paragraphs should be connected to each other with liking words.
5. When writing compositions at home, keep a list of your favourite/common mistakes, and check your compositions for these before handing them in.
6. Do not become too reliant on your dictionary. You will not be allowed to use one in your exam/test.
7. Mistakes should be neatly crossed out with one pen stroke. Try to present your work as tidily as possible. If your handwriting is difficult to read, make sure it is at least legible.
8. Try to keep close to the required number of words.
