Foreword
Welcome to the art of creative writing!
Writing, as we all know, is a very important skill to learn in school.
It is primarily a skill that cannot be learned through theory, but
only by practice. A good foundation in writing skill will not
only improve a students ability to communicate effectively with
others, but will also strengthen their skills in their future studies
and working life. Competence in writing is increasingly seen as
vital to equip learners for success in the twenty-first century.
Composition Writing is a series of ten books. They have been
solely written for students in the age group of 6 to 16. The lessons
herein are age-appropriate and cross-curricular and have been
compiled and written with the sole purpose of developing a
students creative thinking and expression. They cover the basics
of vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and sentence building
and focus on guided and free writing. They also deal with the
techniques of brainstorming and editing.
These books aim to help learners find their way slowly but steadily,
to help them become familiar with some of the ways in which
texts can be structured and write confidently, fluently and with
understanding. Most importantly, they are aimed at developing
a students power of imagination, inventiveness and critical
awareness.
The series may be used independently or alongside other English
course books for the teaching of Writing Skills. Whatever the
purpose it is used for, we are confident that if students go through
the series conscientiously, they will learn to write well.
Suggestions for improvement and correction of any errors will be
gratefully received and acknowledged.

A Busy Street
The street near my house is very crowded. There is always a lot
of traffic. Buses, vans, cars and motorbikes race down the street.
A traffic policeman controls the vehicles. He is on duty the whole
day. He is good at his job. People follow the traffic rules. They
wait for the vehicles to stop before crossing the street. There have
been no accidents on the street where I live.

My Pet
I had a duck for a pet. Her name was Samantha.
My father gave her to me when she was a tiny
duckling. I kept her in a box in my sitting room.
She was not like other ducks. She was different,
very different.
Samantha did not like water, which was strange.
I know that ducks love water. She enjoyed eating
green chillies and popcorn. She was not afraid of my big dog
but would run away if she saw another duck.
One day, my father brought home another duck so that
Samantha would not be lonely. But she took one look at
the duck, quacked loudly in fear and waddled away. In her
hurry to get away, she did not see the water tank at the back
of my house and fell right into it. I had never seen a duck so
frightened. I had to take her out fast and dry her. She slept
on my bed that night. Poor thing!
There were many other funny things that Samantha would
do. She would follow me around the house like a dog. She
would always make me laugh. My friends thought it strange
that I kept a duck as a pet. But she was the best pet ever. I
can never forget her. Samantha is no more with me. She died
last year.

An Unusual Pet
People keep dogs and cats as pets. I, too, have
a pet but an unusual one. I have a monkey. Her
name is Nikki. I got her from a pet store when
she was very small. My mother got a big shock
when I brought her home. She is very scared of
Nikki.
Nikki has grown up to be a sweet and gentle
monkey. I give her a bath once a week and dry
her in the sun. She loves to sit in my lap. She plays in my
garden and climbs up and down a pole that has been put up
for her.
Nikki does not sleep till I go to bed. She waits up for me. She
likes eating fruits and rice. She listens to no one but me.
I have to give her away when she grows really big. My
mother will not allow me to keep her. She always says that
Nikki will bite me one day. I will give her to some one who
loves animals. I will miss her very much but I have no other
choice.

My Favourite Storybook
My favourite storybook is The Ugly Duckling.
It was written by a famous writer called Hans
Christian Anderson. He wrote beautiful fairytales
for children. This story has also been made into
a movie.
The story is about a little duckling. Everyone
thought he was ugly. His parents, brothers and sisters
did not bother with him because he was different. He
did not look like them and he did not sound like them.
Everyone made fun of him. He was lonely and sad.
Time passed and soon the ugly ducking grew into a
beautiful swan. He was not an ugly duckling anymore.
He never was. He had only looked and sounded
different. Actually, he was a baby swan and not a
duckling. How happy he was now! Everyone admired
him and no one was mean to him anymore.
This is my favourite storybook because it has a happy
ending. I like happy endings. I like to believe that every
thing will turn out right in the end.

My Favourite Storybook
I enjoy reading storybooks and I like
listening to stories. My best time is bedtime
because my mother reads to me every night
before I go to sleep. I know all the childrens
stories and all the fairy tales. My favourite
storybook is Cinderella.
Cinderella was written by Hans Christian Anderson.
He was a famous writer who wrote beautiful stories
for children. The story is about a pretty girl called
Cinderella. She lived with her father who was a king.
Her mother had died when she was very small.
Her father married again but her stepmother and
stepsisters were mean to her. They were jealous of her
because she was very beautiful. They made her wear
old clothes and do all the housework. But Cinderella
never told her father anything. She was a sweet and
kind girl.
One day, her fairy godmother allowed her to go to a
ball, where she met a handsome prince. At the ball she
lost her slipper and the prince found it. Then the prince
married her. They both lived happily ever after, far away
from her wicked stepmother and stepsisters.
This is my favourite storybook because it taught me
a lesson. I learned that if you are kind and good and
patient, you will be rewarded in the end. Good things
come to good people and Cinderellla was good.

Dear Jose,
How are you? I have not heard from you for a long
time.
I hope you are studying well for your exams. I have
joined a new school from last month. It is very close
to my house. The name of my school is St. James. It
is a boys school. It is bigger than my other school.
We have two football fields and three basketball
courts. The library has many interesting books for
us to read. We also have a gym. My gym instructor
is very good in what he does. He teaches us well.
My class teacher is very kind and gentle.
I am so happy that I have joined this school. I hope
that you can visit me here one day. I would be proud
to show you around.
Till then, take care.
Your best friend,
Anil

Dearest daddy,
I hope you and mummy are fine. I miss you a lot.
I wish my holidays would start soon so that I can
come home. I like boarding school but I miss home
sometimes.
My class teacher is taking us for a picnic before our
holidays begin. We each have to give Rs.100 for the
snacks. Can you please send me the money before
Friday? Our picnic is on Saturday. Thank you so
much daddy.
Lots of love to you and mummy.
Your daughter,
Meghna
