Writing a Compositon

Writing a composition is very easy. All you need to do is follow a story cline. You need to have these important parts in your story to make it even more interesting.

Step 1: Introduction(1 Paragraph)
The introduction can be used to lengthen your story. You can write a weather introduction, sound introduction, dialogue introduction or even an action introduction.

Step 2: Trigger(1 Paragraph)
The trigger is where the problem in your story starts.

Step 3: Development(2 Paragraphs)
The development is where you explain and develop your story. Create dialogues to liven your story.

Step 4: Climax(1 Paragraph)
The climax is the most important part of your story. This is where your story's problem is at its worst. Make it dramatic and Show not Tell.

Step 5: Resolution(1 Paragraph)
How was your problem resolved? <--The question you have to think about.

Step 6: Coda(1 Paragraph)
Add in a meaningful and powerful sentence or phrase to end your story. Eg. Fire is a good servant but a bad master. / Life is the most valuable possession a person could have.

Tips:
1. Do not add in so many dialogues that your story becomes a script.
2. Show and not Tell means that you do not tell your audience exactly what is going on, but instead you show them.
Eg.
Tell- Mum was angry.
Show- "Peter Tan! Get down here now!"
