BECE English Studies — Composition Past Questions & Answers

15, Anuoluwa Street, Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos. 5th July, 2025. Dear Akins, It is my sincere wish that you will receive this letter in good health and wellbeing. How is school and how are your parents? Hope your siblings are doing fine too? The purpose of this letter is to discuss something about my extended family with you. My extended family is always filled with fun and excitements. There is no dull moment because there must be an event or incident to catch your fancy and attention. What even happens, there is always different opinions (positive or negative) but at the end a united front or view is agreed on and this make things very interesting. Secondly, I learn and gain a lot of knowledge from the elderly persons in our extended family especially grand pa and grand ma. Apart from their stories which always teach a moral lesson, they also narrate real life experiences that I benefit from. In addition, I have been able to learn mutual respect, perseverance and patience as vital survival skills within and outside the family. For one you can't always have your way, there are things that will test your patience and you must learn to respect other people's views, feelings etc. In conclusion, it is worthwhile to be with your extended family members and learn how to co-exist with other people. Yours sincerely Unique
