The word ‘composition’ may mean different things in different circumstances. The circumstances may indicate a personal narration, short story, an essay, a drama, poem or even prose. Though all fall under same category each has its own set of rules. However, there is a general style for writing a composition. A composition consists of three stages – introduction, explanation and conclusion. These three, when put together in correct order, give a very good composition. In this article we shall discuss about these three parts of the composition which makes it a good work. Before proceeding further, the writer must be specific regarding the topic. He/she has to decide what topic they are going to deal with in the composition.

Once the topic is decided, the next is an approach to present it and the first stage is ‘introduction’. In his writing the writer must mention beforehand what they are going to discuss in the writing and give a brief history of the same if applicable. This introduction is the key factor the makes the reader choose to read further or not. If the reader feels the introduction ineffective or not interesting he/she may not proceed to the details of the writing and leaves it unattended. Thus it is highly needed to make an attractive introduction. The introduction must be simple and brief that the readers get some basic idea of what they are reading. When this is done, the next task is to give a detailed description of the topic.

In this stage, the writer must elaborate the central concept of the writing and present it carefully without losing the clarity.

An important thing to note here is that complex words must be avoided. The style must be simple and intelligible to normal readers. It is always good to support the theme with an example since ‘an instance is better than thousand lines of explanation.’ Also since the readers find it interesting to learn from examples than from theory, it is better to quote an appropriate example. This makes the readers understand the idea better and makes the work useful. However, the extent of explanation varies with context. Sometimes a very detail description is needed while sometimes briefing fulfils the need.

And the final stage is the conclusion part. After giving the introduction and explaining the same an appropriate conclusion is needed to complete the writing. If the conclusion is not clear, the readers find difficulty to understand the essence of the writing. Sometimes they even end up with wrong conclusions. Thus an appropriate conclusion is needed. Though these three are met, unless there is good presentation style and language, the composition will not grab the attention of the readers.
