    1. Tenses
Always use past tense when writing a composition, not present tense.

    2. Length of Sentences
Do not use long sentences , write sharply and precisely.

    3. Introduction of Characters
Before bringing in a character, introduce it first.

    4. Use of Inverted Commas

    5. Story Sequence
Please follow the skeleton structure of the compo and emphasise on the solution and problem.
