CBSE Class 6 English Short Composition

Writing Themes and Paragraphs

1. Use prewriting to find ideas to write about. One form of prewriting, freewriting, starts with a subject or topic and branches off into related ideas. Another way to find a topic is to ask and answer questions about your starting subject, helping you to gain a deeper understanding of your chosen topic. Also part of the prewriting stage is determining who your readers or audience will be and deciding your purpose for writing. Your purpose—writing to persuade, to explain, to describe, or to narrate—is partially shaped by who your audience will be.

2. To complete your first draft, organize your prewriting into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Concentrate on unity and coherence of the overall piece. Experiment with different paragraph orders: chronological order places events in the order in which they happened; spatial order places objects in the order in which they appear; and compare/contrast order shows similarities and differences in objects or events.

3. Revise your composition if necessary. Read through your draft, looking for places to improve content and structure. Remember that varying your sentence patterns and lengths will make your writing easier and more enjoyable to read.

4. In the editing stage, check your grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Focus on expressing your ideas clearly and concisely.

5. Finally, prepare your writing for presentation. Sharing your composition, or ideas, with others may take many forms: printed, oral, or graphic.

Outlining

1. The two common forms of outlines are sentence outlines and topic outlines. Choose one
type of outline and keep it uniform throughout.

2. A period follows the number or letter of each division. Each point in a sentence outline
ends with a period; the points in a topic outline do not.

3. Each point begins with a capital letter.

4. A point may have no fewer than two subpoints.

Writing Letters

1. Personal letters are usually handwritten in indented form (first line of paragraphs, each line of the heading and inside address, and the signature are indented). Business letters are usually typewritten in block or semiblock form. Block form contains no indents; semiblock form indents only the first line of each paragraph.

2. The five parts of a personal letter are the heading (the writer’s address and the date), salutation (greeting), body (message), complimentary close (such as “Yours truly,”), and signature (the writer’s name). Business letters have the same parts and also include an inside address (the recipient’s address).

3. Reveal your personality and imagination in colorful personal letters. Keep business letters brief, clear, and courteous.

4. Personal letters include letters to friends and family members. Thank-you notes and invitations are personal letters that may be either formal or informal in style.

5. Use a letter of request, a type of business letter, to ask for information or to place an order. Be concise, yet give all the details necessary for your request to be fulfilled. Keep the tone of your letter courteous, and be generous in allotting time for a response.

6. Use an opinion letter to take a firm stand on an issue. Make the letter clear, firm, rational, and purposeful. Be aware of your audience, their attitude, how informed they are, and their possible reactions to your opinion. Support your statements of opinion with facts.
