Composition: letters, paragraphs and applied writing

Composition marks come from format and connectors, not from ambitious vocabulary. Learn one clean pattern for each text type and reuse it.

Letter (risalah / khitab)

Open with بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم, then the address line (حضرة الأخ المحترم or سيدي الفاضل), then the greeting تحية طيبة وبعد, a body of two short paragraphs, the closing والسلام عليكم or المخلص, and the signature. Formal applications add الموضوع at the top.

Paragraph (fiqrah)

Topic sentence, then two supporting sentences with a reason or example, then a conclusion. Use connectors: أولاً، ثانياً، بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لذلك، في الختام.

Practical tasks

Dialogue (hiwar), notice (i'lan), story (qissah) with beginning, complication and ending, and description (wasf) of a person or place using adjective plus noun and one simile.

Worked example

Topic: أهمية القراءة. القراءةُ غذاءُ العقلِ. أولاً، تزيدُ القراءةُ معرفةَ الإنسانِ وتوسّعُ أفقه. ثانياً، تُحسّنُ القراءةُ لغةَ الطالبِ وتقوّي تعبيره. لذلك يجبُ على كل طالب أن يقرأ كل يوم. في الختام، القراءةُ أفضلُ صديقٍ للإنسان. Reasoning: a definition sentence, two connected reasons, and a conclusion marked by لذلك and في الختام. Each sentence is short and grammatically safe, which is exactly what scores.

Traps

Omitting the address line; putting body content into the salutation; writing sentences beyond your grammar; using only one connector in a whole paragraph.
