COMPOSITION
This lesson on composition teaches you how to attempt Descriptive Compositions.
You may either be asked to describe a Person or an Event or a Situation.
DESCRIPTION OF A PERSON IN COMPOSITION
Write a composition to describe briefly the arrival of a newborn in your house. (300 – 350 words)
The Arrival of my baby sister
I was shifting restlessly in bed the whole night. I had never been so impatient before for the sun to rise. The breaking of the day had never given me so much joy as today. Rather it always reminded me of going to school followed by tuitions, more pleasant than any other morning. The birds chirped more melodiously and the breeze was cooler than I ever felt. And why not? It was going to be a special day after all. After five long days spent in a private nursing home, my mother was returning home. She was bringing my baby sister from nursing home.
HOW TO WRITE A COMPOSITION
I quickly freshened myself up and finished the breakfast without any complaint. My father, uncle, and aunt had gone to the nursing home. They were bringing my baby sister from nursing home. Due to my annual examination, I could not for once go to the nursing home to meet my mom and the baby. I was sad that I could not go for bringing my baby sister from nursing home. But fortunately, my examinations got over just the day before. My aunt took me and my cousin to the market and we bought a crib, dresses, mittens, bibs, nappies, toys, and whatnot.
SPECIMENS OF WRITING ESSAY AND COMPOSITION
We all were waiting eagerly when at last the honking of a car was heard, and it stopped in front of our house. Our joys knew no bounds. The main gate was opened and there stood my mom with a wee tiny doll in her arms. She was wrapped up in a soft pink towel. She was very fair with rosy cheeks. We were all full of joy. The baby was then made to lie down on the crib and my cousins and I stood surrounding it. The baby slept most of the time. But whenever she remained awake we played with her and she smiled exposing her toothless gum.
My little sister is now studying in class 4 but the day of her arrival in our home shall remain ever fresh in my mind.
DESCRIBING A SCENE OR AN EVENT IN COMPOSITION
India is a land of fairs. Describe an unusual fair you had a chance to visit.
An Essay on an Unusual Fair
My father is a forest officer. A few years back he was posted in the Palamau Reserve Forest, in the state of Jharkhand. At the outskirt of the forest, there was a tribal village. Our domestic help was a middle-aged lady from that village.
DESCRIPTIVE COMPOSITION TOPIC
One day she invited us to visit a fair that was to be held in the open ground at the end of their village. Since it was a backward village and there was no electricity, the fair was held as long as the sun remained in the sky. The tribal people displayed their wares on sheets or banana leaves spread on the ground.
The fair however was a very spectacular sight. There were hand-crafted jewelry made out of burnt clay, wooden chips, bamboo, and other unexpected materials. These were so nicely shaped and painted that my mother and myself could not resist our feelings but bought quite a number of them.
HOW TO DESCRIBE AN UNUSUAL FAIR
There were also cane baskets, potteries, and flower vases made out of burnt clay and wood. Tribal musical instruments, toys, and dolls were also there at the fair. But that was not all. Here we got an opportunity to taste some lip-smacking tribal tidbits.
COMPOSITION WRITING ON DESCRIPTIVE EVENTS
The fair attracted us so much that we visited it almost every day as long as it remained. And worth mentioning, we returned from each visit carrying some parcels in our hands. I have visited many fairs ever since but the simplicity of that tribal fair has occupied a special place in my heart.
Your class had to conduct a Morning Assembly. Write a detailed essay of how you prepared for the assembly, what role you played and what knowledge you gained from the experience.
A Composition on Our Class Assembly
The Morning Assembly is a very essential part of a school. The whole school gathers together to pray and start their new day. Our Morning Assembly begins with the reading of a sermon followed by a hymn and then ends with the Lord’s prayer. But Mondays are days for special assemblies. On each and every Monday a particular class is given the responsibility to conduct the Morning Assembly. Last Monday it was the turn of class X A, that is our class.
DESCRIPTION OF MORNING ASSEMBLY
The whole class was over-excited with the Morning Assembly. Our class teacher suggested we do something unique. She suggested, instead of taking up a story with a moral ending we should do something original. So we all the students put our heads together and wrote a short funny skit dealing with a few common problems faced by us in our day-to-day life.
ESSAY BTOPICS TO DISCUSS
We even prepared a song based on the skit. Our class teacher was very pleased with our effort. Of course, there were errors and she corrected our work and our final script was ready. We practiced a lot and were ready for the show.
ESSAY AND COMPOSITION WRITING TOPICS
On Monday morning we gathered beside the school stage in the Assembly Hall. Our hearts were pounding like ‘muffled drums’. With the prayer bell, we started with our assembly. Each one of us enacted our part well. Then the whole class sang the song. Our Principal was extremely happy when she learned that the script, as well as the song, was our original work. She praised us and the whole school applauded us. Needless to say how great a day it was for us!
