Hello everyone, welcome to the first lesson of module 1. Module 1 consists of five lessons where you will learn a basic structure for writing primary school English compositions. In this module you will learn a basic composition writing made simple framework, this is a step-by-step structure that you can follow to write a piece of composition.
