자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "composure" with "composition" because they look similar. "Composure" is about being calm and controlled, while "composition" is about writing or the way parts are put together. Learners also sometimes say *"do composure"* or *"have a composure"*; instead, use patterns like "keep your composure", "lose his composure", or "show great composure".
