The following expressions with composition/essay are widely
used:
an English/French/German composition/essay

- We've got to write an English composition for homework.
а composition/essay subject/topic
e.g. а). Here is а list of essay subjects/topics for the 3rd year.
b). - We've got an essay for homework.
- What on? - the usual form in conversation
- What's the subject?
- On what subject? - more formal
Theme

topic.

Giving а Talk/Paper
• What is the difference between the verbs to “talk” and to
“speak”?
• What does a noun “talk” denote?
Talk (n & v), Speak
To give а talk
means "to speak informally on some subject in
everyday, non-academic language". Students may be asked to give
talks in language classes, in order to practice expressing themselves
at length in the foreign language and sometimes also to introduce а
discussion of the subject by the whole group. For example, а teacher
may say to one of his students:
- Next week I'd like you to give а (short) talk about/on types of
Automation.
Talk
may also be used as а verb.
e.g. Next week I'd like you to talk (for а few minutes) about/оn . . .
However, the verb speak
is on the whole more common in this
situation, because it expresses more clearly that one person will speak
and the others listen.
The talk can begin as follows:
