Enhances ability to write structured and coherent texts
Detailed Explanation
This point emphasizes that writing composition helps students learn how to organize their thoughts logically. When a student writes, they must arrange their ideas in a way that makes sense to the reader. This means starting with an introduction, developing their ideas in the body, and finally concluding the piece. By practicing these structures, students become better at conveying their messages clearly.
Examples & Analogies
Think of writing like building a house. Just as a house needs a solid foundation and structure to stand, a good piece of writing needs a clear organization to be understood. If the layout of the house is confusing, people will find it hard to navigate. Similarly, if a composition lacks structure, readers will struggle to follow the writer's thoughts.

Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are learning to ride a bike. Each time you pedal, you become more aware of how to balance, steer, and use the brakes. Similarly, every time a student writes, they practice using correct grammar and vocabulary, helping them balance their writing skills until they can write smoothly and confidently.
