New format for English composition

A new format is used.
  • No longer based on 4 pictures. Instead, 3 pictures will be given. Student must choose 1 of the pictures to write on. What follows is up to child's creativity.
  • Student can base the writing on 2 or all of the pictures, in any order. But the student must adhere to the topic given. For example, if the topic is "An unpleasant incident", student must write on unpleasant incident instead of a pleasant incident.
  • At least 120 words.
  • Can be 1st person (I) or third person (Tom and his friend). 
  • Writing can be narrative, a personal recount, a report, etc.
Teacher Ang said that it is fine to just cancel the words instead of using correction tape.
