MUET March 2012 Report Writing Sample Answer

Finally! Someone finally took the trouble to email me a typed up copy of the March report. :P

Ah well, better late than never!

Anyway, I've uploaded to google docs, and you can see both samples there and decide for yourself which one is the higher band.

If you want to do effective self-study, discipline yourself to write first before you peek at the answers. Can you do that? Hahahaha.. I doubt. :P

Well tell me what you think. :P

By the way... any comments on the current speaking exam?

  2. Hi Audrey, I used to teach MUET back in 2005 then i stopped. Now, i've been asked to teach MUET again. I'm going through the new syllabus and I noticed that Listening Component has changed. Have you got any sample questions on Listening? I'm kinda stuck... thanks :)

    1. hi dear.. actually there are many books in the market with the latest format for listening. look out for Longman Pearson as they have the most 'standard' quality copies. Oxford also do collection of past year papers with the new format starting with year end 2008. :P Good luck and pls trawl my blog for teaching ideas. Happy to help. Cheerios!

  4. Hi. concerning the report writing , my school teacher told us to link more than 1 information given to get the marks for doing SYNTHESIS for every sentences. I was confused as i read through blogs cause everyone has different answers. So i want to ask is the MPM has set a specific format on doing report writing? I find it hard to do report.

  5. Dear Audrey,

    Thanks for your sample answer for Muet Q1, Paper 4. Great work.

    I have some queries here. I thought we normally link the newspaper headlines to our conclusion. What I saw in your sample is you have applied the newspaper headlines in your synthesis.
    For conclusion, my original answer is " In conclusion, males seem to be contributing more towards parental and household resposibilities as more female graduates and professionals are joining the workforce".
    Please clear my doubt. Your help is very much appreciated.

    1. as far as i know i hv never heard of a rule that says u hv to use the newspaper report only in the conclusion. u should write about it in the body of your report and a good conclusion will LINK ALL THE STIMULI, which includes the news headline if any.

    2. Just like to add that there are some errors in Sample scripts A and B for this March 2012 paper Question 1.
      Sample A:
      The first sentence and third sentence in second paragraph is just a description becoz there are no trend words to merit it an Analysis.....so it is just a description.
      Sample B:
      Introduction or the first paragraph is incomplete becoz the years are not mentioned. In the overview it is pertinent to mention the year that relates to both visuals only.

      Thanks hope it was useful.
