I was looking forward to my first composition, ever since the first day of school. Finally arrived the day when the first composition assignment came. My heart sang when I knew a composition was coming my way. However, when I saw what the composition topic was about, my heart sank. A giant octopus bursting into my house. Brilliant. Now what was I going to write. I was used to writing fictional stories in my primary school – in fact, I only wrote fictional stories unless asked not to, but this composition topic was just too random. I mean, what in earth would a giant octopus be doing in your house. If it was bursting out of and aquarium, fine, I can see the point of that, but in your house?
I had a feeling that this was going to be one of the hardest compositions I have ever written - and will ever write. I had no idea what I was going to write, and I kept brainstorming for ideas. I looked around the house, in the living room, in the bedrooms, but still did not have any clue as to what I was going to write. Then, I looked out of the window in the living room, and saw and airplane flying in the air. Then, suddenly, an idea struck me, and I immediately sat in front of the computer and started typing. The ideas just kept coming.
When I was done, my composition was about 800 words long. Way too long. I had to cap the composition at 500 words. Thus I began the arduous task of cutting out 300 words! When I finished cutting the words out, my composition seemed pitifully short, but there was nothing I could do about it. All I can say was - now I know why primary school teachers complain about the student's compositions.
