studing writing composition at school. In a agood composition, not only the sentence

must be related to each other on logical way but also the paragraph. Prijambada states,

reading passage and given students more freedom in strucuring sentences”.3 Students

read and listen to a passage two or three times. Then, without futher reffering to the

 passage, they are asked to write a composition based on a given set a question about

the material they have just studied. So, it make students easier to write any task that

they have to do.
