(a) The story must be original and must begin with the given sentence. The story may take any form but should convey the sequence of events where the day which started off well turned out to be either better or worse. There must be a clear difference between the beginning of the day and its close.
(b) This is a first person account and the candidate must write from his/her own view point. The composition should express aspiration, hope followed by disappointment and failure. The composition should also explain the cause of the failure and what was the lesson learnt from it.
(c) Views for or against the motion are to be accepted. The child should take a clear stand and give valid reasons for whatever stand he/she takes.
(d) A clear description is essential with the sequence of events in proper order. The child should use his/her imagination to narrate the fear/confusion on finding the house in a mess. It is essential for the narrative to have a proper conclusion as to how the child survived the experience and its impact on the child.
(e) Accept a broad interpretation but keep in mind that there must be a clear connection between the picture and the composition.
