CBSE article layout (marks-critical)

Title
By / Byline (name + optional class/school)
Paragraph 1 — Introduction (hook + issue)
Paragraph 2–3 — Body (highlight, causes, effects, contrast, trend)
Final paragraph — Conclusion (suggestions / appeal)

Word limit

Usually 100–150 words (follow the exact limit in the question; many practice items use ~120 words).

Scoring priorities

  1. Relevant title + byline
  2. Clear organisation (intro → analysis → suggestions)
  3. Coverage of all cues given in the question
  4. Formal / semi-formal tone (no SMS English)
  5. Balanced conclusion with actionable points

Professional structure reminder

  • Present arguments and suggest solutions
  • Structure: Introduction (thesis) → Body (elaborate analysis) → Conclusion
  • Present evidence in order to prove the point
  • Be specific but brief; maintain interest
  • Use 20–30 word craft sentences from High-Freq Lines and Opening & Closing
