Sample Composition:
The picture shows a beautiful park on a pleasant evening. Tall green trees stand on both sides of a wide path. In the centre, a small pond shines under the golden sunlight. Two children are happily flying a colourful kite near the pond. A few other children are playing cricket on the grass. An old man is sitting quietly on a wooden bench, reading a newspaper. Near the gate, a woman is selling hot chaat to visitors. Sparrows and pigeons are flying in the clear sky. The park looks lively and full of joy.
