Helpful tips for learning English:Writing a composition.

I've decided to start a special rubric for those students who learn English and prepare for their English writing test. I don't want your reaction on your test to be like this:

So let's begin with a composition writing.

A composition usually puts forward two or more views on a subject.

• Begin by planning the content of your composition. You may devide a sheet of paper into two columns and note the main points for and against in each column.Leave space after each point to add ideas and examples from your own experience.
• Introduce the subject of your composition in the first paragraph. Don't forget to follow the plan that is given in your test. Remember you should answer all the points of this plan.
• Use a new paragraph for each new main point

Useful expressions for introducing your points

• The first reason why...
• The second argument for thinking... 
• To my mind.../In my opinion...
• On the one hand/on the other hand...
• In addition...
• Furthermore...

In the final paragraph you should summarize and give your own view with reasons.

Useful expressions for summarizing

• To sum up...
• In conclusion...
• On the whole...

Remember that your ideas must be clear and the context of your writing must be connected.

Your language should be rich. And while writing pay attention to using articles, grammar tenses, the order of words in the sentences, using 'to' with infinitive,the number of nouns, conditionals.(All the grammar rules you can find on pages of this blog). 

If you've got any questions, ask me in the comments.

Good luck!;)
