Just as any budding artist goes about perfecting his art, following some basic ground rules, similarly a budding writer goes about refining his art, by writing different types of composition. This art is not difficult to perfect and once the methodology is understood, one derives a great sense of satisfaction, which stands us in good stead in life. <strong>To write a good composition on any subject you are basically required to plan and structure the paragraphs, to make the composition interesting and appealing, while adhering to some basic rules of Grammar. <\/strong>It is not necessary that the composition be written in superfluous language, with big difficult words. To be meaningful it should be written to a plan, with a line of continuity, expressing the feeling of the writer in plain simple English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A meaningful composition therefore must be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>written to a plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have a line of continuity throughout the composition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>not have high-flown language, or slang.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have an interesting and good Introduction and Conclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of students especially those preparing for ICSE English language Paper 1, writing a composition of 350 to 400 words in an essay and a letter is the most important part of the paper. The objective of this question is to test the ability of the examinee, in writing well-organised, clear and accurate English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/xamcontent.com\/cisce\/importance-of-writing-a-good-composition\/#What_is_an_essay\" title=\"What is an essay?\">What is an essay?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/xamcontent.com\/cisce\/importance-of-writing-a-good-composition\/#Argumentative_Essays\" title=\"Argumentative Essays\">Argumentative Essays<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_essay\"><\/span>What is an essay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An essay is a short prose, a composition reflecting your ideas or thoughts on any given subject.
