Composition on “What I do every Sunday”
Every Sunday, I wake up early in the morning and brush my teeth. Then, I take a shower and get dressed in comfortable clothes. I eat breakfast with my family or friends.
After that, we go to church or attend virtual Sunday service. When we come back, I spend time with my family or friends. Sometimes, I do my homework or work on school projects.
In the afternoon, I play games, watch movies, or read books. I eat lunch and have a snack. Then, I go outside to play or take a walk.
In the evening, we eat dinner together as a family. Before bed, I take a bath or shower and get ready for the next day. Finally, I go to bed early to rest for the new week ahead
Guidelines for writing a composition on what I do every Sunday
- Brainstorm and make a list of the activities you usually do on Sundays. This will help you to remember all the things you want to write about.
- Use simple sentences and easy-to-understand vocabulary. Remember that you are writing for a grade 3 audience, so you want to make sure that your composition is easy for them to understand.
- Organize your composition by using a logical sequence of events. For example, start with what you do in the morning, then move on to the afternoon, and finish with the evening.
- Use transition words like “first”, “next”, “then”, and “finally” to help connect your ideas together and make your composition flow smoothly.
- Include details and descriptive language to make your composition more interesting. For example, instead of saying “I eat breakfast”, you could say “I enjoy a delicious breakfast of pancakes and syrup with my family”.
- Review and edit your composition to check for any spelling or grammar mistakes. Make sure that your sentences are complete and make sense.
- Have fun and be creative! Writing about your Sunday activities should be an enjoyable experience, so don’t be afraid to add your own personality and style to your composition.
