[TIPS FOR P6 CHINESE COMPOSITION]
Why must we review the topic?
Before you write, you need to read the topic carefully to find out the objective of
the question, so that you will be able to capture the important points, as a result
you will not have a problem of writing something out of topic/point or running out
of time.
The methods and steps for topic review
. Find out the keywords , for e.g in "My Favourite Present", a present shows that it
can not be more than 1 present.
. Use important factors as a basis , think about these keywords and related
details.
Draw outline - a waste of time or save time?
It is not a waste of time. Draw the outline about 5 minutes to avoid getting out
of point/topic or too long.
Five minutes to think-not more than that not less than that
Design the framework of the picture.
Pictorial and tabular composition
During the process of thinking, if you realise the words cannot express your
thoughts, you can use picture or table to temporarily replace the complete
sentences.
Something that upsets me

Topic Review-important factors-help your train of thoughts

topic must be paid attention to. Also, we must keep reminding yourself to follow
these plans and outlines.
