Paper 1 in Summary

First and foremost, it is your PAPER 1 which is more about grammar and spelling questions.  Do more exercise on your grammar and do more reading to expand your English vocabulary. That is the only piece of advice I can tell you as I would like to focus more on the PAPER 2 which takes more marks! For your information, the total marks for PAPER 1 is 40 marks and the total marks for PAPER 2 is 60 marks.

SPM English Paper 2 - Section 1

Section 1 is about writing an e-mail which is only a short communicative message with only a limitation of 80 words . In this part, you have no choice but to do it by answering directly to the point and the suggested time is 20 minutes .

Here are some of the most important tips:

• Don’t ever miss the format, e.g. the email address, the subject, introduction, conclusion and closing part.
• For the introduction, try to be simple and interesting to attract the readers, for example: I hope you are doing well!
• Think about your main points by using 5W1H (What, Who, Where, When, Why, How) and keep the points concise.
• Do remember to make closing and signature, e.g. I am looking forward to speaking to you next time! Bye!

Example Question:

You received an email from your friend, Amanda who is planning a trip during the school holidays.

What are you doing during your school holidays? My family and I are planning a trip to Langkawi Island. You went there with your family last year, didn’t you? How was your trip? What did you do there? Are there any places we should go?

Do let me know.

This is an example question. In this question, it asks about how the trip is and some suggestions about the holidaymakers in Langkawi. Do take note that you are writing to Amanda.

Sample Answer:

To: [email protected]

Subject: A Trip to Langkawi Island.

We had so much fun there! It is suggested to take a cable car and go up to the Langkawi Sky Bridge where the view is breathtaking! Why don’t you go on an island hopping tour to Pulau Dayang Bunting? The island looks like a silhouette of a pregnant woman lying down and trying to swim in the freshwater lake there! You may visit Pulau Beras Basah and relax on the soft sandy beach! You’ll enjoy it!

THINGS TO REMEMBER!!!

• Try to be simple and easy to understand! Don’t make things complicated.
• For the sample essay above, it is not necessary to suggest or recommend so many places, a few will do.
• Be careful with grammar and spelling as this can lead you to lose marks.

SPM English Paper 2 - Section 2

Section 2 is about writing an article based on a given question.

• When writing this essay, you must take note that you need to use all the notes given and give your reasonable point of view. And, most importantly, don’t ever try to exceed the word limit.
• A 5 or 6-paragraph essay must consist of INTRODUCTION+ POINTS (3-4 paragraphs) + CONCLUSION .
• Include a title or/and write your name.
• The suggested time for the essay is 30 minutes.

You have been asked to write for your school magazine. Your article should inform the readers    about the usefulness of newspapers and the benefits people can get from reading the newspapers. You should also recommend that people make reading the newspapers a daily habit.

• A good source of information – news/ sports/ general issues/ special issues
• Improves command of the language
• Broadens general knowledge

When writing the article, you should remember to:

• Include the title
• Add details of your own to make your article more interesting

HERE is some guidelines for the essay above:

Essay Guidelines

INTRODUCTION

• State some general problem statements, e.g. Malaysians were reported to read an average of two pages per year since 2005 which is rather disappointing. Knowing how significant it will have a tendency to affect the entire nation, it is high time we should discuss the benefits of reading newspapers as well as its usefulness.

1 st POINT:

• Reading newspapers is a good source of information in terms of news, sports, general issues and international issues.
• One should prefer to get news from a more reliable source such as a newspaper.
• It keeps us informed of all the latest world events on war, economy, political issues and celebrity gossips.
• Be better equipped to form opinions on things currently happening around us.

2 nd POINT:

• It is a useful tool to enhance the command of our languages.
• Served as a reliable source to expand English vocabulary.
• One can improve English by reading passage aloud.
• Newspaper articles prompt you to think critically – to form opinions- help students to gain more linguistic confidence which will be expressed in writing and conversation.

3 rd POINT:

• It can broaden our general knowledge.
• It conveys information about politics, economy, business, trade and commerce.
• We become updated with current events locally and internationally.
• -enable one to take part in group discussions which make you feel that you belong to an enlightened society.
• In conclusion, there are many benefits people can gain from reading newspapers.
• It should be a necessity rather than an option.
• Such a habit should be inculcated from young.

SPM English Paper 2 - Section 3

Section 3 is writing one of the questions from the given choices.

• There is a word limitation of 200-250 words and students should write their essays in an appropriate style (based on their choices). The suggested time to complete the essay is around 40 minutes .
• Recently, there will be four types of questions in which they will only come out with three different types of essay as the choices for students : ARTICLE, REVIEW, NARRATIVE ESSAY & REPORT .
• Provide reasonable opinions and focus more on the quality of your writing!
• Take note of the vocab and grammar you use in which most of the time, students will lose their marks.
• Always remember!!! An essay includes INTRODUCTION + 3 POINTS + CONCLUSION . Don’t ever miss one of them!

HERE is some tips when writing essays:

Long Essay Guidelines

INTRODUCTION:

• It is better to expose the current issue or crisis that can attract the reader. Elaborate more on how the current topic has a significant effect on people/ surrounding. Hence, it is high time we should highlight …
• Sometimes, you may use idioms/ adages as your opening to make your essay more attractive! E.g. As an old adage goes, “Health is wealth” and this goes to show how vital that each and every of us should have a healthy body in which the topic we are discussing today should not be hidden from the public .
• Directly tell the reader the problem and the discussion of this topic, e.g. how can it be solved? / here is some useful tips for handling such condition./ Hence, we shall now discuss some of the reasons why we ought to …
• Don’t write too long!
• At least, you should have prepared three main points! Try to sketch your ideas out before you start writing so that you may have a clear mindset of what you are writing instead of going halfway wrong.
• Use the word connection for a better connection of your sentences: First and foremost, Next, Moreover, Furthermore, Moving on, Instead, In conclusion, Last but not least…
• Try to be formal: It is said that…/ It is always being discussed that…/ Thus, the highlighted topic provides us…/ It is said without fear of…
• Use some attractive vocabulary & idioms if you can!
• Elaborate your main points using this formula:
• Deep reason? Why again
• A little more about the discussion: using idioms/vocab to highlight it
• Conclusion for this idea
• It is said that having sufficient rest and sleep do help us maintain good health and inculcate lifelong health habits. According to a survey conducted recently, students seem to face strenuous homework and dreadful exams if they do not have enough sleep and rest, thus, they could not cope with their studies easily. Lack of sleep may lead us to lots of exposed problems, for example impairing attention. As an old adage, “Rest well for accomplishing a longer journey”. Thus, we should have enough rest and sleep in order to give us more energy to welcome a brand new day of challenge.
• The above sample might be a bit long, yet, it is perfect enough in transferring the message in a very complete way.

CONCLUSION:

• For the conclusion part, it is suggested that students should conclude once again all the points you have mentioned above. Then, adding your hope or maybe some roles of related authority like parents and school, what they can do to improve the condition.
• You may add on idioms and phrases at last as your closing to attract the reader.
• In conclusion, there are many benefits one can gain from reading newspapers and this is the reason why this habit should be inculcated from young. Thus, school should play their roles by working closely with parents to get involved in reading newspapers with their children at home for the sake of their future.

I believe most students often turn away from writing essays. This is the hardest part for us non-native English speakers. However, essay writing is the most common form of assessment in any subject at the school and university level. How do you think you will survive in your journey of seeking knowledge?

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.

Therefore, when we have money, we need to use it wisely. If it is spend on the things that we don’t need, we will waste our money. There are a lot of good and worthy things you can buy. For example, food, clothes and books. As for me, if I have money, I would like to buy a guitar. An acoustic guitar has been in my wishlist since I started watching song covers on Youtube. I’ve been dreaming on playing it but I haven’t had enough money to purchase it. The reasons why I want to buy a guitar is because I love music.I know how to play the piano before but I want to learn something new. It would be amazing if I get to play more than one instrument. Moreover, I want to learn how to play the guitar by myself. I can do that by watching tutorials on Youtube. In that way, I don’t have to waste money on guitar lessons. I usually buy my instruments at this music shop called ‘Yamaha’. They have good quality instruments so their price is expensive. However, it is worth it because it’s better than low quality instruments. In a nutshell, I’d spend my money on guitar because that’s what I need to play a new instrument. They said money can’t buy happiness but it can surely help me achieve my goals. Script2: Part2 Nothing is free in this world. Therefore, when we have money, we need to use it wisely.

1. Who developed SPM Trial Paper website?

Few years ago, we were also form 5 students taking spm..

Just like you, we were also stressed and lost sleep because of it. After all, it is one of the most important exams that can potentially affect our future.

Having gone through SPM ourselves, we know how tough it is to do well in so many subjects at the same time.

Thus, we had developed this website, in hopes of assisting our Form 5 juniors to score well in SPM.

You might ask, why a website specifically for SPM Trial Papers?

Because doing tons of SPM Trial Papers had help us score 9A+ in SPM , and received full JPA scholarships for our further studies .

In the next section, we will further explain how SPM Trial Papers can help you score well in SPM. So please keep reading.

2. Why do SPM Trial Questions?

Spm tips are very accurate, they said..

A lot of people out there are selling "SPM TIPS" at a very high price. They claim that their predictions on SPM questions are "PASTI KENA" and "100% SKOR"

But let me tell you the truth after spending hundreds on SPM TIPS.

Having spent lots of cash myself to buy those "SPM TIPS" , I can tell you the truth about it.

Have you ever wondered how those people predict what will come out in SPM? Do you think they have some "insider information" ?

Leaking question is a criminal offence , so it is highly unlikely they would do that.

Then how on earth did they predict the questions with such accuracy?

They actually analyse SPM Trial Question of all states, as well as past year questions. From there, they try to come out with an educated guess on what is going to come out in exam.

If you had look into the thick book of "SPM TIPS", there will be some sample questions that it said is going to appear in the real exam.

But don't be surprised, those questions are nothing but some SPM Trial Questions. They actually do this for good reason.

SPM Trial Papers are similar to real SPM questions.

SPM Trial Papers are set by experienced teachers from various states of Malaysia.

Some teachers who set SPM Trial Paper Questions are also involved in setting the real SPM questions. This means that the questions in SPM Trial Papers may be similar to those in the actual SPM exam.

Finish all Trial and Past Questions, and you will score.

Lastly, I want to emphasize that I cannot guarantee the accuracy of those SPM Tips . Personally, I am not against it, because it at least gives some idea what to study at the last minute.

However, bear in mind that SPM Trial Questions and Past Year Questions are the bases of their predictions. So, finishing all Trial questions and Past Year Questions will likely prepare you well for the exam.

Good Luck for your SPM exam!!

dude tf haha

Kitzma Kits ma as*

i hope i can do this essay for my exam tomorrow

and is it wentt well bro ?

I’m leaving my essay here in case it may be of a help to you guys :). I don’t write the title because this is in the comment section. We live in an age where schools can be considered as a second home to the adolescents considering the fact that they spend over 8 hours a day at school. Therefore, we need to constantly ensure the school canteen is in a good state in terms of cleanliness and the quality of the food served so that the students can dine comfortably. To implement this, there are some changes that need to be done in order to achieve an elevated canteen experience. First of all, I firmly believe that our canteen should serve a variety of healthy and hearty meals so that the picky bunch would stop skipping their meals. For instance, they can choose to serve refreshing salads, succulent fruits and dairy products that are rich in calcium and probiotics. Not only that, this would also indirectly promotes a healthy lifestyle to the students which can help them to stay fit as a fiddle. Moving on, our canteen should also be more accessible and inclusive to all of our students. Subsequently, they ought to provide special facilities to the disabled students and vegan food options for the vegan students. On top of that, we certainly need to appreciate our canteen for providing us a TV so that the students would actually stay in the canteen during recess instead of wandering around the school mindlessly. All things considered, it’s clear to us that school canteen plays a vital role in encouraging our adolescents to practise a balanced diet. After all, a sensible diet is essential in conserving one’s health which perfectly fits with the aphorism a stitch in time saves nine.

What in the english lexicon. This is exactly what im hoping to see when im searching spm essay example. What a lavish way to flex.

Wonderful! Thanks ya!
