9.- STEPS TO WRITE A GOOD COMPOSITION

A.- Make a brainstorming of ideas in your mind, think of the things you really want to say, and which ones you would like to avoid.

B.- Take your coursebook, your workbook, your notes, the dictionary, internet, or any other source so as to look up words, ideas etc...

C.- Follow a lay-out in which you have to make sure there is a BEGINNING , a BODY, and a clear CONCLUSION. Paragraphing is important.

D.- Although it takes time, writing a draft can be helpful, because you may check the neccessary changes that should be made for it to look perfect.

E.- Check your draft: Is the text fully understandable at a first reading? Are all words in the sentence in the appropriate order? Are sentences well linked by means of linkers? Did I use correct and varied verb tenses or syntactical structures?(passives, conditionals, relative clauses,etc..) Did I chose rich and varied vocabulary? Is it nice to read? Is it long enough?

F.- Now write your final composition. It should have: a title, and a good lay-out of paragraphs. Good handwriting is desirable. (we are not doctors anymore, are we?)

G.- As regards design, sometimes one picture can make your presentation different and nice. It is your decission.
