Writing a composition

Do you know how to write a composition? Do you think it is very difficult? I have some useful tips to be able to write a nice composition.

Firstly, you have to think what you want to write about.For example, you want to write diary, a letter or a topic that you are interested in. You may also want to report your experiences or write something else. When you have already thought what is the title of the compostition, you have to list some points that you want to include in the passage. After that you can write the passage with some beautiful adjectives and pharses so the passage will be a joy to read. Sometimes you have to care about the format of the writing, the spelling of the words and you have to check for some silly mistakes.

Here is a example of a short passage..

At camp

On the 17th June I attended a prefect camp at Sai Kung and there were about 160 other prefects who went there. We played many games in the hall and they were really exciting. At night we had a fun pillow fight.

The next day we also played some games in the hall until noon. After that we had lunch and went back to school at two o'clock. I had two very pleasent days.


Please write a story or diary to share with me. I am looking forward to reading your lovely and nice stories! Remember use more beautiful adjectives to describe the event.

A Reply Letter

You recently receive a letter from your cousin, Sam living in Canada. He told you he would like to visit Hong Kong during the summer for a week. Write first to tell him your recent school activity. Tell him when you will start your school holiday. Then suggest him what to do during his stay in Hong Kong. End the letter with a good closing remark. This is an example.

Dear Sam,

I was glad to receive your letter and I am very pleased to know you are going to come to visit us in Hong Kong.

This week I have an exam but I think it seems easy. Next week we have a badminton competition. I think I will win, you know I am good at playing badminton and I play it twice a week.

OK let me talk about what I would like to suggest what to do when you are in Hong Kong. On the first day, I think you should visit the museums in Tsim Sha Tsui. There are many interesting shows. In the Space Museum there are some latest movies about sky and space. You can also visit Historical Museum . Of course you can learn a lot about Hong Kong history there. Also you can eat in some fast food shops or restaurants there.

On the second and the third day you can go to the theme park Disneyland. You can stay there overnight. In Disneyland you can play games such as rollercoasters, shooting worriers etc. The food in Disneyland is really yummy but they are really expensive.

On the fourth day you can take a rest or go shopping. You can play computer games with me while you are bored.

On the fifth day you can do some exercises. Go to Ma On Shan for a bike riding for two hours and I think you will feel very hungry. After you have dinner, I can take you to the dessert house to have sweet dessert.

On the sixth day you must go to the Peak for a sight seeing. You will go there by trams. Trams are very famous old vehicles in Hong Kong. You will like the scene and you can take a lot of pictures there.

I will leave the last day for you to think about what you would like doing. Anyway, I hope you will have an unforgettable time in Hong Kong.

See you soon!

Best Wishes,

Jerry

A little brown bear

Dare to live in a market fair.

Where he hears some hairy mares

Rarely shares their hair.

I WAS AWARDED A BRONZE CERTIFICATE IN THE OLYMPIC MATHS COMPETITION

On 30th of April, I had an Olympic maths competition at La Sa Secondary School. The teacher gave us the test paper and the answer sheet. She told us to write the answers in the answer sheet not the test paper. I saw the test paper" Wow! Help! It's extremly difficult although there were only 25 questions," I thought. The teacher also said" You have 90 minutes, you can start now!"I did it but I was not confident about it.

Last Monday, my mother told me I had been awarded a bronze certificate and I was very surprised because I did not prepare well before the test. My dad said I should have worked harder and I would get a gold certificate in the next competition in primary 6. I was very happy that I had a buffet dinner on May 24th as a reward.

My School Picnic

My school picnic was held on the 30th of April in Sheng Shui and I went there by school bus and it took about forty-five minutes to travel there from the school.

There was a big field and all the students sat down and put their things on the grass and went to play. We played badminton, table tennis, hide-and-seek, etc. We then had some snack on the grass. I ate some chips that my mother prepared for me.

After that I played badminton with my classmates . We have a lot of fun! Later I played a card game called UNO with my friends. I lost but I didn't mind because we played happily and I knew that winning or losing was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that we really enjoyed the game.

At twelve o' clock, I ate five chicken wings and some chocolate for lunch. We finished our lunch in about fifteen minutes. I played Chinese chess with my friend, Simon and I won.

At one o'clock, we went back school and my form teacher, Miss Pau let us watch a cartoon show and it was really interesting!

We had a very nice day!!!!!!
