This document provides guidance for writing compositions. It recommends generating ideas before writing, either from your own experiences or other sources. The key elements of a composition are an introduction stating the theme, a body with multiple paragraphs each beginning with a topic sentence, and a conclusion. The introduction should arouse reader interest and the body should elaborate on topic sentences with details and examples.
