Learners sitting for the English Certificate Examination will be asked to write one of the following types of composition: 1. Description. 2. Narration. 3. Letter-writing. 4. Essay-writing. NOTE: 1, 2, 3 for all levels (A B, C) ; 4 for Level C only. B. The length prescribed is as follows: Level A : 100 words, Level B: 200 words, Level C: 300 words WRITING GUIDELINE 2; DESCRIPTION Let’s take an example. Topic: Write about a water buffalo. QUESTIONS 1. Where are water buffaloes found? 2. Of what use are water buffaloes to us? 3. Are water buffaloes useful in other ways? 4. Are any parts of the body of the water buffalo useful to us? 5. Is the skin of any use? 6. What do water buffaloes eat? 7. Where do water buffaloes live? Download Ebook Tai: htts://downloadsachmienhi.com Tron Bo SGK: https://bookgiaokhoa.com DEVELOPMENT A water buffalo is one of the commonest of animals in Vietnam. There are many in the district round our town, and they are found in nearly every’, part of Vietnam. People keep water buffaloes because they are very useful to them. They give milk and they help the farmers in many ways. The skin of the water buffalo is also very useful. It is made into leather. People wear boots, shoes, belts and other things that are made of leather. The horns, too„ are useful, and are made into buttons, the handles of knives and other articles of general use. Water buffaloes eat grass and the leaves of trees. They live in the fields in the daytime, and at night are brought home and put into sheds. WRITING GUIDELINE 3: NARRATION A. A narrative essay consists mainly in the narration of some event or series of events. Narrative essays may treat: 1. an incident eg. a festival, a marriage. 2. an accident or a natural disaster eg. a flood, a fire, a shipwreck, an earthquake. 3. a journey or voyage. 4. a story (real or imaginary). B. In writing narrative essays, keep to the order in which the events are supposed to have occurred, and omit minor details. C. Here is an example. Download Ebook Tai: htts://downloadsachmienhi.com Tron Bo SGK: https://bookgiaokhoa.com Topic: Relate an excursion to Hue. Last weekend I went on an excursion to Hue. I went with some students in my class. I got up at six o’clock on Saturday and met the other students at the station. In the morning we visited the Palace. It was very interesting. We saw Bao Dai’s bedroom. We had lunch in a little cafe and I drank a lot of wine. In the afternoon we sat in the sun for an hour and walked through the gardens. I met a very interesting English tourist with a big moustache. I had a golden opportunity to practise my English. It was a wonderful weekend. WRITING GUIDELINE 4: LETTER-WRITING A. To be able to write a good letter is a very valuable gift. We can not all be good letter writers but we can all learn to express ourselves simply and clearly: and we can also learn the polite and appropriate forms of address and conclusions that should be used in different occasions. B. General rules: If we follow a few simple rules, our meaning will be clear and our manner agreeable to those whom we address. 1. First make up your mind what you want to say. 2. Put it into simple, plain words. 3. Put each fresh thought or statement into a fresh paragraph. 4. Avoid exaggeration. Exaggeration gives the effect of insincerity, and moreover, is c:>ften ridiculous. If, in reply to an ordinary letter, we write (as students often do) “on receiving your letter my joy knew no bounds”, the recipient of the letter will know quite well that our joy was not boundless, and he will be inclined to doubt the sincerity of the other sentiments expressed in the letter. Download Ebook Tai: htts://downloadsachmienhi.com Tron Bo SGK: https://bookgiaokhoa.com 5. Avoid fulsome flattery and exaggerated compliments. These also produce the effect of insincerity. A good letter in English is marked by clearness, simplicity and sincerity. You should imagine that your friend is in front of you and that you are talking to him. C. An important note: As an examinee, please omit your signature and address in your letter so as not to reveal your identity to your examiner. D. Form of address: There are some common types of letters such as business letters, letters to a friend or a relative, letters to a teacher or superior, official letters, letters of invitation. We just focus our attention on informal letters (letters to a friend or relative or superior). The following forms are commonly used to begin and end an informal letter. BEGINNING Dear Father, Dear Brother, Dear Uncle, Dear Tom, (given name) ENDING Your loving/ affectionate son, Your loving/ affectionate brother, Your loving/ affectionate nephew, Your affectionately.

To write an essay is rather a difficult task for the student but if he has done the preceding compositions carefully and thoroughly, he will find that many of his dificulties have disappeared. Here are a few simple rules for essay-writing; 1. Think. 2. Select your thoughts. 3. Arrange your thoughts. 4. Write. 5. Revise. B. Let us consider each of these rules carefully. 1. The student should never start writing at once. It is never a waste of time to think out carefully for ten minutes or so what you are going to write. 2. He should select his thoughts. When we write upon a subject, it is impossible to put down everything that there is to be said about it. In a short essay we can deal with a few points Download Ebook Tai: htts://downloadsachmienhi.com Tron Bo SGK: https://bookgiaokhoa.com only. So the student must select his points carefully. He must stick to these points. It is of no use to write down a lot of things that have nothing to do with the subject. This is a mere waste of time, and the result is a bad essay. 3. He must arrange his thoughts. No builder can build a house without a plan, and no student can write a good essay without a plan. So he must make a plan and arrange his ideas in such a way that they follow one another naturally. - Let each fresh idea be put in a fresh paragraph. - At the head of his essay there should be an OUTLINE. This is the plan of his essay. - Each point in the plan should be the subject of a fresh paragraph. - As a rule, two or three paragraphs are enough for a short essay. 4. When you have done all this, begin to write. - Use simple words and short sentences. - Keep to the point. “ Always give yourself time to revise. 5. When you have finished’ revise carefully what you have written. - Look out for mistakes eg. spelling, capital letters, grammar and punctuation. C. A sample outline Below is an outline for an essay. It is to be remembered that many different outlines may be given for the same subject, and all the essays may be good. However, if no outline is given, the essay is very likely to be a bad one.

They have to wait for us. The work of many is delayed. - The results of unpunctuality: leads to bad habits, a waste of time, indolence and finally failure in life. - Give a story about unpunctuality. Hints: No strict rules can be given for outline-making. The student must use his knowledge, his power of observation, his intelligence, his reason, and his ingenuity. If he does all this he will get a good outline and a good essay to follow. - Don’t introduce too many points. - Arrange your points. - Stick to your points. " Deal with each point in a separate paragraph. - Bring your essay to a definite conclusion. Do not merely stop writing. - Revise carefully.
