PSLE Composition – 4 Story Starters You Should NEVER Use

.start
👋 Introduction: Welcome to another video by Mr. Chow.
📚 Topic: Four story starters you should never use in composition writing.
.duration
🕒 One Day:
Common but boring.
Doesn’t add much information or word count.
Missed opportunity to showcase writing skills.
🚫 One Fine Day:
Avoid this phrase due to its multiple meanings, especially in certain cultural contexts (e.g., fines in Singapore).
Still not engaging enough for a strong start.
☀️ One Fine Sunny Day:
Adding more adjectives doesn’t improve the phrase.
Still lacks excitement and originality.
Example: “One fine sunny day, I ate a fine sunny-side-up egg”—uninteresting and may confuse readers.
🏰 Once Upon a Time:
Clichéd and better suited for fairy tales, not realistic compositions.
Avoid using this unless writing a fairy tale.

👍 Conclusion: Avoid these phrases and aim for more creative and engaging story starters. Have fun writing!
