[0:00] Good writing starts before you write a single sentence. First plan: brainstorm ideas, choose the best ones, and put them in a sensible order.
[0:50] A composition has three parts. The introduction grabs interest and states your topic. The body develops your points. The conclusion sums up and leaves a final thought.
[1:40] Each paragraph should focus on one idea. Begin with a topic sentence, then add supporting sentences with details, reasons or examples.
[2:30] Linking words guide the reader. Use 'firstly' and 'next' for order, 'however' to contrast, and 'because' and 'therefore' to show cause and effect.
[3:20] Finally, edit. Read your work aloud, fix spelling and punctuation, and cut any sentence that does not help. Neat, clear writing earns the best marks.
