一、Qualities of a good composition
A good composition in English has certain qualities: it is unified in the relationships among its sentences and paragraphs; it is coherent in the organization and disposition of its material; it is appropriately emphatic. In addition, it has an element of originality, and a degree of distinction in style.
二、Unity
A good composition creates a clear impression of unity by presenting a single central idea when addressed to chiefly to the reader's intellect and, if to his emotions, a single dominant effect. Every paragraph, every sentence fits organically into the pattern of the whole, i.e. all parts are functional. There is no irrelevant or superfluous elements, no padding, nothing which does not contribute to a purpose the over-all purpose of the whole. A good criterion of unity is whether the central idea or dominant effect can be stated, or characterized in a single sentence.
