Any tips/exercises to improve composition and “eye”?

I’ve been shooting analogue now for about a month on my cannon ae-1 having come from animal photography on digital and I’ve been wondering how to improve my “eye” for compositions in urban places while I’m walking about. A lot of what I spot when I’m out and about are basic symmetry photos but I want to get better at spotting more interesting compositions, are there any drills you’ve tried and found helped your natural workflow?
