So, today, I’m going to share with you a brief guide to a good essay writing!

So, basically, the essay writing’s mark (60 marks) is divided into two categories, 30 marks for TASK FULFILMENT and another 30 is for LANGUAGE.

Below are a few guides I’d love to share on scoring both task fulfillment and language’s marks:

1)Task Fuilfilment

🔥Response to the task
-Appropriate, clear stand
-Consistent tone
🔥Development of ideas
-Clear, supported and convincing
🔥Presentation of viewpoints
-Smooth flow of ideas
-Effectively linked
🔥MATURITY of thoughts and ideas

2)Language

🔥Good use of low frequency or exceptional words
🔥Correct use of tenses and spelling
🔥Use discourse markers effectively
-Firstly, Thus, Moreover, etc.
🔥Varied vocabulary
🔥Varied sentences
🔥Cohesive paragraphs
🔥Coherent ideas

@OhMyMuet

Writing (at least 350 words)

1. For every paragraph, try to apply the 5W1H trick. (What, who, why, when, where & how)
-This will give your reader a better understanding on what your point is.

2. KNOW your POINT
-Do not LOOSE TRACK of your point and CONFUSE your readers.

3. Write like you are doing a public speaking.
- Allow your readers to relate and participate with their mind.

4. Know your singular from your plural (vice versa)
- DO NOT USE "is" for "people". But when you say "Are you okay?", the "are" is accepted.
- Just because "s" is needed for many, don't use it for words like WOMENS or WOMANS or MANS or MENS. Or even KNIFES or PEOPLES. Not all words need "s".

5. Attract and impress
- Try to learn big words or quotes like "An apple a day chased the doctor away" or "What goes around, comes around" or "Prejudice" or "Bombastic"

6. Try to vary your words (Pelbagaikan)
*You don't have to but it keeps things interesting
- Family = Relatives
- Relationship = Bonds/Ties
- Teachers = Educators

7. Avoid cliff hangers.
- Read back your sentences to ensure you don't allow your words to hang in the middle.

8. Translations
- NEVER EVER EVER DIRECTLY TRANSLATE PHRASES OR LINES FROM A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE
"Nama saya Abby" to "Name me Abby" or "Buah tangan" to "Fruit hand"
- Some words are meant to stay in the language:
Cliché or Nasi Lemak

9. Know your vowels (AEIUO)
- These letter need "an" infront. Except: Hour (Pronounced: Our)

10. Try to have an example that people can relate to
- Technology - Steve Jobs
- Knowledge - Albert Einstein
- Entrepreneurs - Michelle Phan
- Art - Michael Angelo
* People you can use to prove a point

GOOD LUCK! DON'T GIVE UP. 💪🏻

Ps: If you are lazy to study, just do nothing but read, then.

📜 Writing question 1 📜

Transferring information from non-linear sources to a linear text

📝 Step 1 📝

🔥 Write down the title (ambik je dari soalan)
🔥 Garis dan justify
🔥 Title ni walau panjang mana pun dia, dia takkan kira dalam word counts.

📝 Step 2 📝

🤡 Tulis introduction
🤡 Introduction ni paling senang dalam dunia sebab basically it consists of (Stimuli + Overview)

💥Apa itu stimuli?💥

Stimuli tu amende yang dia bagi dalam soalan tu lah
(figure 1 ke apa ke camtu)

💥Apa itu overview?💥

Overview tu boleh jugak dipanggil sebagai trend. It's the most outstanding ideas that links all the stimuli

Contoh👇: _

Generally, there is a (positive) correlation/relationship between ... (figure 1) and ... (yada yada)_

📝 Step 3 📝

🌺 This is the most crucial part
🌺 Dia ada dua benda analyses dengan syntheses

💥Analyses💥

🍃 Basically you're just gonna merely stating the features;
🍃 Different time frames, same key feature
🍃 Different key features, same time frame

💥Syntheses💥

There's 2 ways of synthesising ;

1❣ Synthesising data within the same visual/stimulus (synthesise data dalam stimulus yang sama) camni👇 :

2 key features + 2 time frames + data + comparison ➡ trend

2❣ Synthesising data between different visuals/stimuli (synthesis data dalam visual/stimuli yang berlainan) yg ni senang je,
Buat je ayat analysis pastu tambah je data kat dalam tu 😎

📝 Step 4 📝

🌸 Ni conclusion
🌸 Korang basically just sums up the entire report concisely

For higher bands, korang kena buat synthesis tu lebih dari analysis

🗣Agree🗣

😎(5 + 1 paragraphs)

🤡100 fully agree

OR

🤡75:25 ratio for your point,whether 75 for benefits,25 for precaution.

🧠1) Thesis Statement:

✍🏻Smoking should be banned because it is a serious hazard to mankind in terms of health, waste of money and causes pollution.

🧠2) Agree 1:

✍🏻Firstly, smoking should be banned because it is a serious hazard to our health.

🧠3) Agree 2:

✍🏻Secondly, smoking should indeed be banned as it is a blatant waste of money.

🧠4) Agree 3:

✍🏻Last but not least, it is a hazard to mankind because it creates continuous pollution which is bad for our environment.

🧠5) (OPTIONAL) Counter-Argument:

✍🏻However, there are some benefits including a good source of income and the tax collected can be used to improve the infrastructure in our country.

✍🏻Nevertheless, smoking has more disadvantages and should be banned.

🧠6) Recommendation:

✍🏻The government should streamline immediate and effective action to ban smoking throughout the country by banning import and sales of cigarettes and increasing the fines and jail sentences for tobacco smuggling and distribution. 

🗣Disagree🗣

😎(5 + 1 paragraphs)

🤡100 fully agree

OR

🤡75:25 ratio for your point,whether 75 for benefits,25 for precaution.

🧠1) Thesis Statement:

✍🏻Smoking should not be banned because there are many benefits for our country in terms of increasing profits, stimulating the economy and tax collected can improve infrastructure for everyone.

🧠2) Disagree 1:

✍🏻First and foremost, smoking should not be banned as it increases the profit for the shop owners who sell it to the public.

🧠3) Disagree 2:

✍🏻The second reason it should not be banned is because the collective sales of cigarettes can stimulate our economy due to its high demand.

🧠4) Disagree 3:

✍🏻Lastly, banning smoking is not a good idea because the tax collected can be used to improve and upgrade infrastructure such as roads, schools and hospitals.

🧠5) (OPTIONAL) Counter-Argument:

✍🏻On the contrary, there are some advantages of banning smoking as it does have some hazardous effects to smokers’ health and the environment.

✍🏻Nevertheless, we should not deny a person’s choice to smoke or not especially since it can still bring some benefits to our country.

🧠6) Recommendation:

✍🏻The government should draw up an effective strategy to maximise tax collection of tobacco products in order to boost the economy and use the funds to provide better quality basic facilities for everyone’s mutual benefit.

🗣Partially Agree🗣 

😎(6 paragraphs)

🤡50:50 ratio for your point,whether 50 for benefits,50 for precaution.

🧠1) Thesis Statement: 

✍🏻There are both advantages and disadvantages of banning smoking as it is a hazard to mankind. 

🧠2) Agree 1: 

✍🏻For starters, smoking should be banned because it is a serious hazard to our health.

🧠3) Disagree 1: 

✍🏻In contrast, there are many people who have smoked and lived until old age, proving that smoking is not necessarily a health hazard as there may be other factors.

🧠4) Agree 2: 

✍🏻Another advantage of banning smoking is it can stop people from wasting money whereby the money can be better used for food, transportation, daily necessities or as savings.

🧠5) Disagree 2: 

✍🏻On the other hand, although they can be said to be wasting money on an individual level but the money is contributed back into society and tax collection increases as well which is used to improve and upgrade infrastructure such as roads, schools and hospitals. 

🧠6) Recommendation:

✍🏻The government should implement a comprehensive action plan to reduce smoking in our country by increasing the price and taxes of cigarettes and organising anti-smoking talks and exhibitions in schools and hospitals. 

🗣Agree to a Certain Extent🗣

😎(5 paragraphs)

🤡50:50 ratio for your point,whether 50

for benefits,50 for precaution.

🧠1) Thesis Statement: 

✍🏻There are always two sides to a coin so we should look into the pros and cons should smoking be banned due to its hazardous nature towards mankind. 

🧠2) Agree 1 vs Disagree 1:

✍🏻At the forefront, it is clear that smoking is a health hazard to mankind even though there are cases where it is not a hazard and smokers have been known to live healthily well into their old age. 

🧠3) Agree 2 vs Disagree 2: 

✍🏻Another significant reason it should be banned is because it is a waste of a person’s money.

✍🏻 Conversely, if you look at the bigger picture, it is not a waste of money but it in fact stimulates the economy and increases profit due to high sales. 

🧠4) Agree 3 vs Disagree 3: 

✍🏻Ultimately, smoking is an individual’s choice and he or she should be given the right to choose to smoke or not without the government interfering.

✍🏻On the contrary, the government should take action in banning it if it affects the health and quality of living of society as second hand smoke is dangerous to babies and pregnant mothers and smoking causes unnecessary pollution.  

🧠6) Recommendation: 

✍🏻The government through the Ministry of Health should  spearhead an effective blueprint to ban smoking in public places by fining smokers if they smoke in restaurants or shopping malls and conducting more  anti-smoking campaign to increase awareness.
