Muet writing sample essay academic excellence.

• April 25, 2021

Reading through the MUET Writing sample essays and looking at how the writer write the content points will improve your writing for MUET question 2 . This is simply because the content points for your essay determine the band you will get for the paper. Get this right!

So, in this article we are going to look at how you can come up with relevant content points and also how to expand your ideas in your elaborations. The sample paragraph for each content point and later the sample of the complete essay will also be provided. The topic of this essay is Academic Excellence.

In this article we are going to cover:

• the task that you need to complete
• the suggested response that you can choose from to complete the task
• the content points for the topic
• their elaborations
• and also, the sample paragraphs and the sample essay.

The topic of academic excellence is one of the topics that could be included in the writing question 2. For this topic, the question could be focussing on certain aspects like academic achievement versus skills, distractions in a student’s life in achieving academic excellence and is certification important in this digital era to name a few. This is the topic that we are going to be working on in this article:

The MUET Writing Sample Essay Question

This is how the question for writing question 2 is worded in the writing paper. Before going any further we need to first of all understand the question given. We can do this by carefully reading the rubric [rubric: the instruction found in the question] and understand what is needed of you to fulfil the task.

I would like to advise you not to rush through this very first step of reading and understanding the question as I always see this easily done by students.  You really need to understand the topic and the task first in order for you to answer the question correctly and to answer it well. I have seen so many times that students have misunderstood the question and so failed to fulfil the task. So read and understand the question first.

The question starts with giving a realistic setting for the task which is ‘during a career day, a guest speaker made a comment…’. This could of course be replaced with other situations like ‘during a talk, the school counsellor said….’or others.

The speaker would be making a comment that would be inviting some kind of discussion from different points of view (POV) and which is going to be the topic of the essay you are writing. The question requires you to write an essay in continuous writing of more than 250 words expressing your personal opinion on this statement.

The Topic of the Sample Essay

The statement made by the guest speaker is ‘employers only look for academic excellence when hiring’ . The topic is giving the situation that could happen during a job interview when employers are looking for employees to hire. Here in this statement, the counsellor feels that employers during interviews will be putting a lot of importance on academic excellence.

There are two ways that you can respond to this statement.

The first is when you totally support the statement. What this means is you totally agree that employers do only want to hire people who did very well in their studies. You are 100% for this statement so all your content points will be showing and expressing your POV of why you believe that employers look for academic achievements before agreeing to hire someone .

The second way of responding to this statement is to partially agree to it. You partially agree to a statement when you support the statement but only to a certain extent.

This means that you will say that the statement is partly true because you feel that employers do look for other qualities in a future employee. Next you will be adding in your own ideas as to why you feel that way.

Let’s look at the content points to support the first response when you totally agree to the statement.

The First Response

All content points would be giving the reasons as to why the employers are doing this. Keep this in mind that you believe that what the employers are doing are correct and you will have to sound like you support their actions. You will have to be convincing and try to show the readers [the examiners] in a clear way the rationale for the employers only choosing future employees with academic excellence.

To come up with logical points to support your view on why it is right to select future employees with academic excellence, you would need to put yourself in the situation of the employer.

What is the importance of academic excellence from the employer’s point of view? What line of business do you think and what post would the future employee be filling that would need an employer to be looking for a person who has excelled in their studies? What is it that the person with academic excellence has or is that a person without academic excellence would not have or is not?

First Content Point

So, the first content point for this is you’re going to say that academic excellence especially in tertiary education [tertiary education: above school level education like in college, university and vocational level] shows that the person is an expert in their field. Certain jobs would demand a person to be a specialist in certain areas.

Elaboration

For this content point you can first of all determine who are the people who possess academic excellence and how they are the best choice for the employers to employ.

Also it would be making it clearer the importance of hiring a person with academic excellence by including the effect of hiring the wrong person to do the job. This is for instance done by hiring a person who is not knowledgeable in that particular field.

I am providing sample paragraphs for the three content points stated for the first response. I would like to advise you to:

• copy these paragraphs onto a piece of foolscap paper just to get the feel of writing out the content points on paper. 
• then only by referring to the content points and elaborations given write out your own paragraphs

Here is a sample of the content paragraph.

The Sample Paragraph

First and foremost, the reason why employers put academic excellence as the first criterion for choosing future employees is because academic excellence especially in tertiary education signals a certain level of expertise. Employers do this because there is a particular need in certain professions that demands a person to have attained this academic excellence. These are the types of jobs that require specialised knowledge like the technologically demanding occupations of the future. In light of this the employers would even before the process of hiring, would specify very clearly in the job requirement what they would be looking for, for the purpose of narrowing down the future candidates who will be applying for the post. From the many gleaming resumes that come their way the next process would be to sieve through and hand pick the crème de la crème which are those who possess academic excellence and the expertise the employers are seeking for. Otherwise, the effect of employing someone ineligible for the job would be detrimental for the future of the company.

Second Content Point

The second point is great academic achievement shows that the person is very hardworking. You believe this to be very true because you feel that great academic achievement doesn’t come easy as it requires a lot of hard work and determination.

A person’s excellent achievement in their studies shows that a lot of hard work and time had been put into improving themselves especially when they were in university.  This criterion of not shying away from hard work is what employers are looking out for in future employees.

As the elaboration you can add that achieving academic excellence would be a feat that is not easy to achieve. Stress on the fact that it will involve a long process that would involve a lot of hard work.

However, the person with the excellent achievement in their studies would be ready to roll up their sleeves and get on with working to better themselves.

Sample Paragraph

Secondly, employers seek academic excellence in future employees because the ability to achieve academic excellence indirectly shows that the person is very hard working. Diligence in the part of the employee is certainly vital for the future of the company and the fact that these people were able to achieve greater heights in their studies show that they have worked really hard for it and would expectantly practise the same diligence at the workplace.  One thing for sure is that achieving academic excellence for the majority of people is not an easy task to accomplish. It may even have involved sweat and tears. The person who possesses excellence in their studies may have invested in long hours at the library that would most likely include burning the midnight oil. What this translates to the employers is that the person is someone who is ready to work hard and give it all in their pursuit of achieving excellence and when employed, would put in the same productiveness for the benefit of the company. Hence this is one of the reasons why achieving excellence in a person’s studies would be the quality that employers are looking for when hiring.

Third Content Point

The third content point is you can say that achieving academic excellence shows that the person is driven and this gives a very positive picture of the future employee as someone who is very motivated.  

The excellent achievement in their studies shows that, if the person has set his or her mind on something he or she is going to work for it and try very hard to achieve it.

Academic excellence is something that is not easy to come by. So, when the person has achieved excellence in his or her studies it shows that the person is fully driven and is fully motivated. The person could drive himself or herself towards that one goal that he or she wants to reach which is achieving academic excellence.

Thirdly the reason why employers seek academic excellence when hiring is because it shows that the people, they are potentially hiring are very driven.  They are perceived to be very motivated and really determined to succeed and this is evident in their achievements in their studies. Because of the hard work that is involved in achieving their level of excellence in their studies the candidates applying for the job would be viewed as people who are used to working hard and going the extra mile to accomplish their goal. They are ready to go above and beyond for the sole purpose of excelling in their studies. From this the employers might view them as the people who the employers could rely on to put in the dedication and perseverance to bring the company later to the next level like during their studies previously. Employees who are driven to achieve success would be ready to sacrifice their time and energy for the company too. They will aim for one main goal which is success and will be ready to put in the work required to achieve it. Therefore, possessing academic excellence would certainly be the basis on why employers would want to hire them. 

Ultimately, achieving academic excellence is one quality that employers are looking for as this is going to be very valuable in a working environment. Being driven is something that is going to help make the company a success.

The Complete Sample Essay

Here is the complete sample essay for the topic of academic excellence. Read through the introduction, content points and the conclusion to see the flow of the essay. 

Take note of the way I have written the introduction and conclusion. Do drop me a line if you want me to focus on how to write an introduction and a concluding paragraph for your essay.  

                 The librarian kept looking her way and wondering when she was going to pack up and leave as it was nearly 10 o’clock in the evening and fast approaching the library closing time. Nevertheless, he has seen this time and time again and understood the pressure that final year students in this university would be under as the final exam dates are looming near. Scenes like this is normally seen with most students wanting to do well in their studies. This is because they have understood the fact very well that getting very good grades could land them their dream jobs that promise these young adults a better life in the future. This is true to the fact that employers do look for academic excellence when hiring as certain jobs demand the person to be excellent in their studies as they are perceived to be better at what they do. Here I would like to state my total agreement to the statement that employers do look for academic excellence when hiring.

                First and foremost, the very reason why employers put academic excellence as the first criterion for choosing future employees is because academic excellence especially in tertiary education signals a certain level of expertise. Employers do this because there is a particular need in certain professions, that demands a person to have attained this academic excellence. These are the types of jobs that require specialised knowledge like the technologically demanding occupations of the future. In light of this the employers would even before the process of hiring, would specify very clearly in the job requirement what they would be looking for, for the purpose of narrowing down the future candidates who will be applying for the post. From the many gleaming resumes that come their way the next process would be to sieve through and hand pick the crème de la crème which are those who possess academic excellence and the expertise the employers are seeking for. Otherwise, the effect of employing someone ineligible for the job would be detrimental for the future of the company.

                Secondly, employers seek academic excellence in future employees because the ability to achieve academic excellence indirectly shows that the person is very hard working. Diligence in the part of the employee is certainly vital for the future of the company and the fact that these people were able to achieve greater heights in their studies show that they have worked really hard for it and would expectantly practise the same diligence at the workplace.  One thing for sure is that achieving academic excellence for the majority of people is not an easy task to accomplish. It may even have involved sweat and tears. The person who possesses excellence in their studies may have invested in long hours at the library that would most likely include burning the midnight oil. What this translate to the employers is that the person is someone who is ready to work hard and give it all in their pursuit of achieving excellence and when employed, would put in the same productiveness for the benefit of the company. Hence this is one of the reasons why achieving excellence in a person’s studies would be the quality that employers are looking for when hiring.

              Thirdly the reason why employers seek academic excellence when hiring is because it shows that the people, they are potentially hiring are very driven.  They are perceived to be very motivated and really determined to succeed and this is evident in their achievements in their studies. Because of the hard work that is involved in achieving their level of success in their studies the candidates applying for a job would be viewed as people who are used to working hard and going the extra mile to accomplish their goal . They are ready to go above and beyond for the sole purpose of excelling in their studies. From this the employers might view them as the people who the employers could rely on to put in the dedication and perseverance working in the company like what they did during their studies previously. Employees who are driven to achieve success would be ready to sacrifice their time and energy for the company too. They will aim for one main goal which is success and will be ready to put in the work required to achieve it. Therefore, possessing academic excellence would certainly be the basis on why employers would want to hire them. 

                In conclusion, employers do look for that one important quality in a future employee and that is having academic excellence. This is true for most employers as could be seen currently happening in our country when there are 2 candidates or more applying for the vacant post the person most likely to get the job would be the person showing up with very good grades during their studies. This is sad but true that candidates with academic excellence tend to have very high success rate during an interview. The reasons for this have been discussed earlier on in this essay where employers tend to hire people who possess academic excellence because they are perceived to be an expert in their field and possessing positive characteristics of being hard working and very driven. Consequently, these are the reasons why academic excellence is very much sought after by employers and why ever not when what the employers get from it is only going to bring a positive outcome to the company.  On a final note, this would be a wakeup call for students to take their studies seriously and put in more effort in trying to make that grade and hopefully succeed in getting a career of their dreams.

Academic excellence may be what employers are wanting in future employees for certain positions but not all the time.  This is because there are positions that demand talents and skills in certain aspects to fulfil certain other positions.

So really my true stand would be to partially agree to the topic. Here you can see that what I have written in my essay may not be entirely what I personally believe in. 

This is because I have chosen to totally agree to the topic because I believe that I have more to say about it if compared to if I were to choose to partially agree. It is going to make me write faster and points for my elaborations would become easier to write.

This is exactly what I would advise you to do during the exams. Put aside your personal beliefs if you think going the other way would make you write your essay better and faster.

Personally what I truly believe is that there is a place for everyone in the job market. All we need to do is to make sure that we are better today than we were yesterday and tomorrow we will be better than we are today. What is important is we need to keep on getting better at what we do.

The Second Response

Another response that you can have about this question is for you to partially agree to the statement mentioned. Your stand here would be that you support that the employers do look for academic excellence when hiring but not just solely for that because they will be looking for other qualities in the future employees as well.

Here you are going to come up with content points on why you feel that employers do look for other qualities in  future employees as well.

You will agree that employers do look for academic excellence but often they will be focussing on other qualities that tend to be more important than simply getting good grades.

So, you can say that apart from looking for a person’s academic achievements, the employers will be looking for experience on the job that the job seekers are applying for.

Job experience here would mean that the person would have done the same job before during a previous employment. This experience will determine that the person will be able to perform the job well from day one he or she is employed.

Elaborations

Having the few years’ experience is highly regarded in the job market. This could be seen when there is  a better chance of a person being hired if they come with several years of on-the-job experience.

The importance of having job experience could also be seen when employers go as far as listing the number of years they require a person applying for the job to have in the job requirement. 

Experience on the job will determine that the person applying has had the chance of learning certain aspects of the job that they would not have gotten during their studies. 

For this point you can highlight the fact that apart from academic achievement being able to speak in a certain language is going to be a very important aspect to increase the chance of someone getting hired. 

Having language proficiency would mean that the person is able to use the language well to voice out opinion in a clear way. 

To elaborate this point you can state that certain companies would require the future employee to be able to have the ability to speak in another language. 

This is especially so when the company has a business relation with companies from monolingual countries. [monolingual countries: countries that speak mostly in one language only]  These countries are such as China, Japan and Spain to name a few.

The company would be relying on this language proficiency to make sure that day to day business transactions would go on without any difficulties and problems.

This is because the lack of language proficiency here could cause the company to experience a big loss and a missed opportunity for the company.

For this point you can point out that there is a necessity also for the employers to put a lot of emphasis for the new employee they would  be hiring to have soft skills. 

What is this  soft skills that is so highly prized? It is the ability to interact with another person well. It is the person’s interpersonal skill that includes communication skills and the ability to handle certain situations well and with some sensitivity.

For the elaboration for this point you can stress how important it is for a person to have this soft skill.  This is because the person will be interacting with other colleagues and clients on an every day basis.

Having this soft skill would certainly be useful as there would be some instances when the person would need to use some tact [tact: the skill and sensitivity in dealing with people in certain difficult situations] when handling certain situations.

Having soft skill could even avoid confrontations  and this  would lead to a positive work environment. You can also add on how important it is to have a positive relationships between colleagues in the work place as this could determine the success of the company when people are working together as a team.

MUET writing test model answers

Success in the MUET writing test is all about attention to detail and a well-developed understanding of the tasks. We can help with a guide to the model answers for tasks one and two, plus how to approach them.

We know that you want to do well in the MUET writing test. Achieving your goal of a good result will take time, practice, and attention to detail. You will need to understand what is required when answering the MUET writing test tasks and how best to approach these. We’re here to help with a close look at model answers for the MUET writing test tasks. This will give you a good idea of the standard and level required, as well as some of the techniques you can use. 

Let’s start by examining the first task of the MUET writing test . 

MUET writing test task one 

For task one, you will need to reply to an email. The task should take you 25 minutes to complete and is worth 30 marks, which is 33 per cent of your overall writing test score. You will need to write a response of over 100 words for this question. 

Task one question

Your classmate, Armani, was absent from school because he was sick. Read the email from him asking about the school English camp which he missed. 

Write a reply of at least 100 words in an appropriate style. 

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Armani

Subject: Oh I missed the English camp!

How was the school English camp? I feel very sad that I could not join the camp. 

I heard that there were lots of fun things to do at the camp! What was your favourite activity at the camp?

I also heard that campers had to share tents, did you like it?

I heard too that the school is planning another camp soon and I want to join it. Would you like to join me?

Write soon. 

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s useful to break down the email into distinct sections that you will reply to. This can help in the way you develop your answer. In this case, each line of the email requires an appropriate response. For example:

Express your sympathy that Armani was unable to attend the English camp and ask how he is doing. 

Describe what activities there were at camp and which you enjoyed the most and why. 

Explain whether or not you enjoyed sharing a tent and why this was the case. 

Answer Armani on whether you would like to attend an English camp with him 

Conclude your email

You can think of the structure as: 

Answer one 

Answer three

Closing 

Here is an example of a model answer for task one of the MUET writing test:

From: [Your name]

Subject: We missed you!

Hi Armani, 

I do hope that you are feeling better. I really enjoyed that English camp, but I missed having you there. 

That’s right, there were some very fun activities at the camp. One of my favourites was when we had to write a short story in English and then read it out to our friends. I got a lot of cheers and everyone said that they enjoyed it. 

We did have to share tents which I did not enjoy. Some of the campers in my tent were making a lot of noise and this made it difficult to get any sleep. 

The school is planning another camp soon and I would love to join you. We’ll have lots of fun together. 

Hope to see you soon. 

[Your name]

MUET writing test task two

For the MUET writing test task two, you need to write an essay based on a statement or question that is given to you. The task is marked out of 60, which is 66 per cent of your total MUET test mark. You will need to allocate approximately 50 minutes for the completion of this question. You may be asked to complete a different type and style of essay depending on the question. For example:

Discursive essay

Problem-based essay 

Argumentative essay

Remember that getting the tone and style right for this question is important if you want to score top marks. It is a more formal and professional tone than that of task one and requires a minimum of 250 words. 

Task two question

You attended a talk by a famous fashion designer, which was recently organised during your school’s Career Week. The following comment was made by the guest speaker:

Fashion defines a person’s character. 

Write an essay expressing your view on the statement. Write at least 250 words. 

Firstly, you will need to decide if you agree with the statement and why. You will also need to support your view and position. It’s useful when approaching the question to create an outline or plan to help you answer. 

Decide on your opinion and perspective 

Understand the type of essay you will write, in this case, discursive

Identify keywords

Determine to who you are addressing the essay 

Think of the structure of your essay, which can be helped by adopting a template as shown below:

Introduction 

Context and topic information to get attention

Statement of opinion 

Argument justification

Main content 

Point one 

Introduction to point

Reason for your position

Examples and evidence to support the statement 

Point two 

Link from previous and introduction to point

Reason for your position, opinion or argument 

Example to justify what you are saying 

State the main points of the discussion and topic 

Provide a summary of your position 

Justify this position and why you chose this angle

Let’s turn our attention to a model answer for the question in task two so you can get an idea of what a good answer looks like. 

MUET writing test task two model answer

Many people may not realise that fashion no longer defines our true character. Historically, clothing and accessories have been used by people to express elements of their personalities. However, in the current era, fashion has become a tool that serves multiple purposes. I disagree that fashion defines a person’s character and feel that this is an illusion. Fashion is an allusion to a character that may not be part of a person or a tool that serves occupational needs. It cannot express or explain a person’s whole identity. 

Firstly, fashion is used by people to create a sense of their character and personality. They wish to convey a certain image, affiliation and identity through the clothes and accessories they choose to wear. These choices can stereotype a person and can be manipulated for the purpose of achieving the desired image. For example, the wearing of black-rimmed spectacles is often used to suggest that a person is intelligent, regardless of if they are or not. Fashion in this case can be compensation for traits people may want to have. 

Secondly, fashion is a tool that serves occupational purposes. In this context, it is no longer a form of self-expression but a type of conformity. People in certain work environments are expected to dress in a particular way professionally, which may change according to the industry they work in. For example, in the entertainment sphere, singers will dress up to match the theme of their song or show.  A lawyer would not be able to do the same.  Further, when not at work both singers and lawyers may wear more relaxed and comfortable clothing. Fashion is thus closely aligned with occupation and environment. 

Lastly, while it is possible to suggest that fashion allows people to express their personality, this is only a small part or aspect of their character. A person’s full character is unique, multilayered and complex. Fashion is a tool that only allows for a small amount of self-expression. It is not a reflection of who a person truly is. For example, many people may wear the Nike sportswear brand. However, they may not be athletes, play sports, or lead an active lifestyle. Thus, fashion is limited in what it can tell about who a person really is. 

In conclusion, I disagree that fashion can define a person’s character as it is a limited and context-specific tool. It can be an allusion to a character trait that is not present in a person and is also related to their occupation in some cases. Fashion cannot reflect a person’s whole character. One should never judge or measure a person by the clothes that they wear.

As you can tell from the MUET writing test task two model answer it’s important to understand tone, structure, opinion, and argument. It’s also useful to work on your vocabulary and pay attention to your grammar. Practising your writing is also essential, so attempt a number of test question examples and essay styles so that you are ready for test day.

MUET Writing Malaysia – Definitive Guide with Essay Example

MUET is a test that all Malaysian students must take in order to apply for their desired course. It consists of 3 parts: Language Proficiency, General Paper, and Subject Knowledge Test. The Language Proficiency section tests the student’s command of the English language through various writing tasks such as essay writing, letter-writing, and summarizing text. This blog post will aim to provide you with tips on how to score well in this section of MUET by providing an example of an essay topic along with guidelines on how it should be written.

What is MUET writing in Malaysia?

MUET is also known as the Malaysian University English Test seeks to measure the English proficiency among candidates who plan on pursuing tertiary studies at universities located within Malaysia.

The MUET is a test that tests the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. While some people may be better at one or two than others; they’re all important to hone in order for anyone interested in pursuing an education around these topics.

The MUET writing test is challenging- students have to transfer information from a non-linear source and write an essay of at least 350 words on the topic given.

MUET Essay Task 1: Report writing (40 marks)

• You have been given 40 minutes to complete the task.

• Education must be free for every child do you agree or not?
• Impact of social media on people
• Some people prefer small towns to live in others one prefer to live in a city why? Which one do you prefer?

MUET Essay Writing Format

MUET is a challenging exam because it includes writing within the Academic Writing Format. For many students, this format may be unfamiliar and difficult to understand or execute in their answers at test time so they don’t score well on that section of MUET.

This difficulty can come from being unaware of how academic writing differs from other forms such as creative or personal essays which are more common formats for essay questions outside of the MUET testing space.

1. Introduction paragraph:

Introduce your topic to the reader.

• Use catchy lines, questions, brief definitions, etc.
• Must have a thesis statement a statement which consists of the main big ideas
• Never use: “research or study” use words like on the basics of my readings, in my opinion, as this is essay writing, not a research paper.
• Never use: “ can be defined as” use words like “In my opinion, I believe that, etc.”

2. Body paragraph:

Body paragraph: must have 3 paragraphs.

• State the main idea
• Often written as the first sentence of each paragraph
• Supporting details and ideas
• Examples, elaborations, explanations,s, and descriptions can also be included
• Must support the main idea discussed in this particular body/body paragraph
• Use linkers, connectors, and transition words.

Conclusion paragraph:

• Restate the main idea
• Use words like hence, therefore, thus, as a result.
• Write it like it is the last sentence of the paragraph.

3. Concluding paragraph:

• Bring the ending of things that you have discussed earlier.
• Restate your thesis statements.
• The conclusion must have 4 sentences
• You may suggest, give opinions or reaffirm your stand
• Use words: To conclude, to summarize, as a conclusion, finally, lastly, eventually, to encapsulate.

Tips to write MUET Essay for Malaysian Students

The best way to write a MUET essay is to have a succinct thesis in the introduction and also be cognizant of transitions between one topic and another.

Moreover, it’s important to know your audience when you’re writing an essay for MUET. One key point which is usually overlooked by students is having knowledge about the specific subject they’re talking about.

• Transfer information
• Use good grammar
• Carefully analyze the graphical information
• Give your opinion
• Think critically
• If you’re aiming at scoring Band 5 or higher, then critical thinking is a must.
• If your aim is to score Band 5 or higher on the exam, it’s time for some serious rigor and reflection.

Use these tools to help with critical thinking: Short term, mid-term and long term effects

• Example: Alcohol
• Short term: yellow teeth/bad breath
• Mid-term: waste of money
• Long term: Health problems such as cancer
• Individual, society, and government
• Individual: Set goals and prepare for change
• Society: Must not encourage one to consume alcohol.
• Government: Must stop fundraising

Types of MUET Essays

MUET essays are usually of the expository type, they can also be argumentative or persuasive.

• While an essay with a descriptive header generally has a focus on what is being described.
• An essay with a narrative header (or “story”) generally puts a priority on how something was done or what it felt like to do it and the completion
• And an informative-explanatory (inform + explain) header offers treatment or analysis of existing data, facts, practices, etc.
• Persuasive essay questions require you to take up a position on an issue and then persuade or convince the reader about your viewpoint based upon evidence. These can come in the form of anecdotes, facts, statistics etcetera
• Expository Essays are different from other types of essays in that they don’t require any persuasion but instead simply look for evidence supporting or disproving what you have been told/asked about.

Importance of MUET essay

You will be required to take the MUET test if you are planning on pursuing your university degree at local public university.

However, note that this requirement is not compulsory for those who wish to pursue their education outside of these institutions and choose instead to study at private schools or international ones (MUET tests are only necessary when applying for scholarships).

Remember also, that different universities may have different English proficiency requirements so make sure you check what they need before sending off an application.

The grading system for MUET

When students get their MUET result, they’ll be able to see the mark for each paper and then an overall score. Band 1 is when the student will have to take two extra English courses during holiday time; a Band 3 or 4 means one course more than this. If you’re in bands 5 or 6- excellent! You don’t need any additional lessons over the summer holidays whatsoever.

MUET Essay writing Band 6- Very good user (Aggregated score: 260-300)

The speaker demonstrates a strong command of the language, and their fluency is unparalleled. They are highly expressive in everything they say, accurate with words that express both nuance and precision when needed most. The person’s understanding of context should not be questioned – it appears as if this individual functions flawlessly when interacting verbally or written textually via various languages.

SPM Essay Writing Guide – Format & Examples

What is spm.

Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, or SPM, is a significant national exam that Malaysian students who have completed Form 5 education—typically at the age of 17—take. It’s crucial since it determines whether or not they can continue their education after high school and serves as a measure of their overall academic success. Writing an essay is a significant part of the SPM exam since it evaluates the test taker’s command of the English language, analytical reasoning skills, and ability to form coherent arguments.

SPM Essay Format

Excellent SPM essays may only be written by students who have a firm grasp of the proper essay format. An essay typically consists of three primary components:

1. Introduction

The introduction of an essay serves as the initial section, strategically designed to captivate the reader’s interest and provide essential contextual information for the subsequent content of the paper. The factors that contribute to the level of interest in an introduction are:

A hook: A hook is a provocative statement or query that grabs the reader’s attention.

Background context: Introduce the topic and its relevance in a brief background context.

Thesis statement: Clearly state your essay’s principal contention or goal.

The body of your essay comprises several paragraphs, each of which deals with a different aspect of your thesis or a related concept. When composing the body, adhere to the following guidelines:

Topic sentences: Each paragraph should begin with an introduction to the key concept that is succinct and straightforward.

Supporting evidence: To support your claims, offer statistics, examples, or supporting proof.

Smooth transitions: Make sure the transitions between paragraphs are reasonable, retaining the coherence of the structure.

3. Conclusion

The conclusion is the last section, where you restate your thesis and briefly review your significant points. To write a strong conclusion:

Summarise main points: Briefly summarise your main points from the body paragraphs.

Restate thesis: Rephrase your thesis statement to reinforce your main argument.

Closing thought: A provocative statement or call to action should be the closing thought.

How to Write an SPM Essay?

Essay writing is a craft that can be honed with time and focus. Write an excellent SPM essay by following this simple outline:

1. Understand the Question

To completely understand the criteria of the essay question, carefully read and consider it. Indicate the essay type (e.g., descriptive, narrative, argumentative) and the keywords that will be used.

2. Plan Your Essay

The key ideas you intend to cover in each part should be included in an outline. Planning ensures a clear essay structure and helps you organize your thoughts.

3. Start with a Strong Introduction

Write a captivating beginning that introduces the subject, establishes the mood, and expresses your thesis statement succinctly.

4. Develop the Body Paragraphs

Each paragraph should focus on a single idea, with supporting details and arguments. Make seamless transitions between ideas.

5. Craft an Impactful Conclusion

Reiterate your thesis, restate your essential points, and give the reader a thought-provoking conclusion.

SPM Essay Writing Tips

Take into account these helpful tips to improve your essay-writing abilities:

1. Read Widely

Your vocabulary and knowledge base will grow due to exposure to various reading sources, including books, newspapers, and articles.

2. Practice Regularly

Consistent writing practice improves your writing abilities and increases your comfort level while confronting various essay subjects.

3. Seek Feedback

To pinpoint areas for growth, get comments from teachers, peers, or family members.

4. Time Management

Use your time effectively during the exam to allow enough time for preparing, writing, and reviewing.

5. Grammar and Vocabulary

Pay close attention to your grammar, spelling, and language choices for your writing to remain coherent and clear.

Types of SPM Essays

SPM essays can take many forms, each requiring a different strategy. Here are a few common types:

1. Narrative Essay

It tells a tale with aspects including characters, setting, and plot, frequently from the viewpoint of the author.

2. Descriptive Essay

It uses sensory details to create a realistic image of a person, location, or event to capture the reader’s attention.

3. Argumentative Essay

Presents reasons and proof to persuade readers to take a specific stance on a hotly debated subject.

4. Expository Essay

Gives details, justifications, or analyses on a subject backed up by examples and facts.

5. Reflective Essay

Reveals one’s own feelings, thoughts, and experiences while highlighting the lessons learned from a certain incident.

SPM Essay Example for Malaysian Students

To provide you with a practical reference, here is a brief example of an SPM essay provided by Malaysian Essay Helpers :

Example Title: “The Impact of Technology on Education”

Introduction:.

The digital era has completely transformed every part of our life, including education. Classrooms have changed as a result of the growing use of digital devices and the internet, with both positive and negative effects.

Paragraph 1 (Positive Impact)

The educational process has been greatly improved by technology. Interactive instructional software and applications provide pupils with fun ways to understand difficult ideas. Additionally, e-learning platforms have made it possible to receive a degree from a distance, eliminating geographic restrictions and fostering lifelong learning.

Paragraph 2 (Negative Impact)

But there are negative consequences to using too much technology in the classroom. The decline of conventional methods of instruction may lead to a shortage of students with strong critical thinking and interpersonal skills. Additionally, the digital divide between kids from various socioeconomic origins has the potential to make educational disparities worse.

In conclusion, it is undeniable that technology has significantly influenced modern schooling. To guarantee that every student receives a well-rounded education, educators must strike a balance between tech-based instruction and conventional teaching techniques, despite the fact that technology has many benefits in terms of accessibility and learning opportunities.

For Malaysian students who want to perform well on their exams, mastering the art of SPM essay writing is essential. Students may improve their writing talents and create compelling essays highlighting their knowledge and critical thinking skills by adhering to the correct essay style, employing effective writing approaches, and practicing frequently. Remember to experiment with different essay formats to increase your writing versatility and use other people’s work as inspiration to enhance your own.

You will soon find out that there are even essay questions in mathematics. What? Trust me, essays will be applied across almost all disciplines. Essentially, writing an essay is one of the academic pieces to gather the writer’s point of view or simply to know the depth of understanding in certain concepts that would only suffice by an explanation.

The student would be assessed on their comprehension of the topics by assigning an essay writing task to them. But writing an essay is not hard if you know how to decode or analyze the question well.

At the end of the article, you will be able to have more confidence in your writing.

Read, Read, Read for SPM Essay Writing

I know reading has never been one of the Malaysian cultures and habits. Currently, the statistics of reading in Malaysia per person is only 6 books a year. This is not a good number. However, you as a youth, the new generation of Malaysia, can change this perception.

Reading is a better way after traveling to know about the world. When you are absorbed in reading, you’ll be able to learn so many things. The only way to increase your vocabulary is through reading and seldomly through communication. You can also improve your grammar and sentence construction through reading.

If you only depend on communication, that won’t help you a lot due to the broken English that is widely used in Malaysia. Not to mention, our favorite type of English, ‘ Rojak English’ or “Manglish” . You can only obtain confidence in speaking but not the writing styles and perfect tenses.

Come and let me show you how to understand further on the SPM Latest 2021 format and tips of writing SPM Bahasa Inggeris (1119/2) Paper 2.

Understanding SPM Essay Questions and the Writing Format

All SPM examination papers are regulated by the Ministry of Education (MOE) In all examinations, reading and understanding the question’s need is very important. Most students tend to deviate from the main ideas of the question due to their lack of ability to understand the question properly.

Most questions can be divided into 3 major parts, directive words, content words, and limiting words.

Discuss the difference between two idols that you like according to the nature of work.

The bold ‘ Discuss’ is the directive or instructional word that you need to follow. Another example of directive words can be, compare and contrast, critical evaluation, reflection, discussion and etc.

The word to limit the scope is the italic ‘difference’, ‘two idols’, and ‘you like’ . The question specifically asks you to write about the particular purposes whether time, place, person, or demographic.

The content words are the underlined ‘nature of work’. This is the subject of your essay that you will need to discuss. The content word can be very narrow or broad depending on the cases.

Once you have understood the question, you will need to determine the format of the essay to be written. There are many different types of continuous writing for SPM English paper such as,

• Story with purpose
• Usually, first-person but can be the third person too
• Explain, illustrate, describe
• Written in a debate format
• Can be first person or third person
• Thoughtful, reasoning
• Describing information
• Written in the first person

Meanwhile, the format and types of directed writing for the SPM English Paper are listed below.

• Letter (Informal or formal)
• Informative letter
• Talk or speech

Writing Tips for SPM Essay Writing

Drafting for spm essay writing.

As a student, we always thought that drafting is such a waste of time. But, NO! Drafting will allow you to manage your writing well. So you will know that you have your main ideas, supporting reasons, and examples constructed well in a paragraph.

During the examination, you do not need to make a proper, colorful, and complicated draft just like you learned in class. You just need to scribble on the question paper regarding the ideas. This is when you should adopt the concept of 5 wives and a husband. Remember?

Essay Construction for SPM Essay Writing

While constructing your essay, you will need to bear in mind that you would want to reduce the mistakes and not waste time. This is why you will need to refer to the essay draft that you have made. Make sure you have a good construction of the essay complete with an introduction, main ideas, and conclusion.

You should use a simple word to construct your sentences. You can use jargon or complicated word but make sure it’s not more than 3 words. Why? This is to minimize the risk of a misunderstanding from the marker who perhaps does not know the word and you might lose some marks there. Besides, the chances for you to use it wrongly is very high too as you rarely use the word.

Next, make sure your writing is neat. This is very important not only for the examiner but also for yourself to easily spot your spelling mistakes. Moreover, take note of your grammars, especially the tenses. Make sure it is consistent.

Last but not least, DO NOT OVERWRITE your essay. Try to minimize the words that you use but exceed the word requirements. Remember the more sentences you write, the higher the chances are for you to make more mistakes. So, keep your writing minimal and you can reduce the chances of you losing more marks.

Time Management for SPM Essay Writing

You need to set a proper and reasonable time for you to complete answering your SPM Paper 2 in writing an essay. Remember that you will only have 90 minutes to answer a total of 3 questions.

• First Questions – 80 words
• Second Questions – 120 – 150 words
• Third Questions – 200-250 words

As I have said in the previous part, keep your writing minimal so as to avoid making more mistakes. So here, you have a total of 480 words (I counted the maximum words you will need to write as a buffer), and you have only 90 minutes to finish your writing.

Let us do some math.

• First Questions - 90 minutes divide by  480 and multiply with 80 = 15 minutes
• Second Questions – 90 minutes divide by 480 and multiply with 150 = 28 minutes
• Third Questions – 90 minutes divide by 480 and multiply with 250 = 47 minutes

So, from the math above, we know the allocation of the time needed to answer all three questions. However, you will also need to remember that you should always proofread your answer. Thus, you would need to spend at least 10 minutes on that.

How to Answer Your SPM Essay Writing Paper

Let me show you how to draft your essay.

Bahasa Inggeris (1119/2) - Kertas 2

Answer one of the questions 3 – 5 in this part. Make sure your writing is between 200 – 250 words with the appropriate format according to the question. Place the question number in the box at the top of the answer sheet.

Other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about writing an essay, an appeal to the senses: the development of the braille system in nineteenth-century france.

The invention of Braille was a major turning point in the history of disability. The writing system of raised dots used by visually impaired people was developed by Louis Braille in nineteenth-century France. In a society that did not value disabled people in general, blindness was particularly stigmatized, and lack of access to reading and writing was a significant barrier to social participation. The idea of tactile reading was not entirely new, but existing methods based on sighted systems were difficult to learn and use. As the first writing system designed for blind people’s needs, Braille was a groundbreaking new accessibility tool. It not only provided practical benefits, but also helped change the cultural status of blindness. This essay begins by discussing the situation of blind people in nineteenth-century Europe. It then describes the invention of Braille and the gradual process of its acceptance within blind education. Subsequently, it explores the wide-ranging effects of this invention on blind people’s social and cultural lives.

Lack of access to reading and writing put blind people at a serious disadvantage in nineteenth-century society. Text was one of the primary methods through which people engaged with culture, communicated with others, and accessed information; without a well-developed reading system that did not rely on sight, blind people were excluded from social participation (Weygand, 2009). While disabled people in general suffered from discrimination, blindness was widely viewed as the worst disability, and it was commonly believed that blind people were incapable of pursuing a profession or improving themselves through culture (Weygand, 2009). This demonstrates the importance of reading and writing to social status at the time: without access to text, it was considered impossible to fully participate in society. Blind people were excluded from the sighted world, but also entirely dependent on sighted people for information and education.

In France, debates about how to deal with disability led to the adoption of different strategies over time. While people with temporary difficulties were able to access public welfare, the most common response to people with long-term disabilities, such as hearing or vision loss, was to group them together in institutions (Tombs, 1996). At first, a joint institute for the blind and deaf was created, and although the partnership was motivated more by financial considerations than by the well-being of the residents, the institute aimed to help people develop skills valuable to society (Weygand, 2009). Eventually blind institutions were separated from deaf institutions, and the focus shifted towards education of the blind, as was the case for the Royal Institute for Blind Youth, which Louis Braille attended (Jimenez et al, 2009). The growing acknowledgement of the uniqueness of different disabilities led to more targeted education strategies, fostering an environment in which the benefits of a specifically blind education could be more widely recognized.

Several different systems of tactile reading can be seen as forerunners to the method Louis Braille developed, but these systems were all developed based on the sighted system. The Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris taught the students to read embossed roman letters, a method created by the school’s founder, Valentin Hauy (Jimenez et al., 2009). Reading this way proved to be a rather arduous task, as the letters were difficult to distinguish by touch. The embossed letter method was based on the reading system of sighted people, with minimal adaptation for those with vision loss. As a result, this method did not gain significant success among blind students.

Louis Braille was bound to be influenced by his school’s founder, but the most influential pre-Braille tactile reading system was Charles Barbier’s night writing. A soldier in Napoleon’s army, Barbier developed a system in 1819 that used 12 dots with a five line musical staff (Kersten, 1997). His intention was to develop a system that would allow the military to communicate at night without the need for light (Herron, 2009). The code developed by Barbier was phonetic (Jimenez et al., 2009); in other words, the code was designed for sighted people and was based on the sounds of words, not on an actual alphabet. Barbier discovered that variants of raised dots within a square were the easiest method of reading by touch (Jimenez et al., 2009). This system proved effective for the transmission of short messages between military personnel, but the symbols were too large for the fingertip, greatly reducing the speed at which a message could be read (Herron, 2009). For this reason, it was unsuitable for daily use and was not widely adopted in the blind community.

Nevertheless, Barbier’s military dot system was more efficient than Hauy’s embossed letters, and it provided the framework within which Louis Braille developed his method. Barbier’s system, with its dashes and dots, could form over 4000 combinations (Jimenez et al., 2009). Compared to the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, this was an absurdly high number. Braille kept the raised dot form, but developed a more manageable system that would reflect the sighted alphabet. He replaced Barbier’s dashes and dots with just six dots in a rectangular configuration (Jimenez et al., 2009). The result was that the blind population in France had a tactile reading system using dots (like Barbier’s) that was based on the structure of the sighted alphabet (like Hauy’s); crucially, this system was the first developed specifically for the purposes of the blind.

While the Braille system gained immediate popularity with the blind students at the Institute in Paris, it had to gain acceptance among the sighted before its adoption throughout France. This support was necessary because sighted teachers and leaders had ultimate control over the propagation of Braille resources. Many of the teachers at the Royal Institute for Blind Youth resisted learning Braille’s system because they found the tactile method of reading difficult to learn (Bullock & Galst, 2009). This resistance was symptomatic of the prevalent attitude that the blind population had to adapt to the sighted world rather than develop their own tools and methods. Over time, however, with the increasing impetus to make social contribution possible for all, teachers began to appreciate the usefulness of Braille’s system (Bullock & Galst, 2009), realizing that access to reading could help improve the productivity and integration of people with vision loss. It took approximately 30 years, but the French government eventually approved the Braille system, and it was established throughout the country (Bullock & Galst, 2009).

Although Blind people remained marginalized throughout the nineteenth century, the Braille system granted them growing opportunities for social participation. Most obviously, Braille allowed people with vision loss to read the same alphabet used by sighted people (Bullock & Galst, 2009), allowing them to participate in certain cultural experiences previously unavailable to them. Written works, such as books and poetry, had previously been inaccessible to the blind population without the aid of a reader, limiting their autonomy. As books began to be distributed in Braille, this barrier was reduced, enabling people with vision loss to access information autonomously. The closing of the gap between the abilities of blind and the sighted contributed to a gradual shift in blind people’s status, lessening the cultural perception of the blind as essentially different and facilitating greater social integration.

The Braille system also had important cultural effects beyond the sphere of written culture. Its invention later led to the development of a music notation system for the blind, although Louis Braille did not develop this system himself (Jimenez, et al., 2009). This development helped remove a cultural obstacle that had been introduced by the popularization of written musical notation in the early 1500s. While music had previously been an arena in which the blind could participate on equal footing, the transition from memory-based performance to notation-based performance meant that blind musicians were no longer able to compete with sighted musicians (Kersten, 1997). As a result, a tactile musical notation system became necessary for professional equality between blind and sighted musicians (Kersten, 1997).

Braille paved the way for dramatic cultural changes in the way blind people were treated and the opportunities available to them. Louis Braille’s innovation was to reimagine existing reading systems from a blind perspective, and the success of this invention required sighted teachers to adapt to their students’ reality instead of the other way around. In this sense, Braille helped drive broader social changes in the status of blindness. New accessibility tools provide practical advantages to those who need them, but they can also change the perspectives and attitudes of those who do not.

An essay is a focused piece of writing that explains, argues, describes, or narrates.

In high school, you may have to write many different types of essays to develop your writing skills.

Academic essays at college level are usually argumentative : you develop a clear thesis about your topic and make a case for your position using evidence, analysis and interpretation.

The structure of an essay is divided into an introduction that presents your topic and thesis statement , a body containing your in-depth analysis and arguments, and a conclusion wrapping up your ideas.

The structure of the body is flexible, but you should always spend some time thinking about how you can organize your essay to best serve your ideas.

Your essay introduction should include three main things, in this order:

• An opening hook to catch the reader’s attention.
• Relevant background information that the reader needs to know.
• A thesis statement that presents your main point or argument.

The length of each part depends on the length and complexity of your essay .

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . Everything else you write should relate to this key idea.

A topic sentence is a sentence that expresses the main point of a paragraph . Everything else in the paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.

At college level, you must properly cite your sources in all essays , research papers , and other academic texts (except exams and in-class exercises).

Add a citation whenever you quote , paraphrase , or summarize information or ideas from a source. You should also give full source details in a bibliography or reference list at the end of your text.

The exact format of your citations depends on which citation style you are instructed to use. The most common styles are APA , MLA , and Chicago .
