MUET Writing

SAMPLE 1) YEAR END 2008: MUET WRITING 800/4 QUESTION 2

“People are becoming more materialistic. They are concerned with making more

money and what money can buy.” What is your opinion on being materialistic?

You should write at least 350 words. [60 marks]

They say that money makes the world go round. And indeed it does as without

money, life would be very difficult as in today’s society, nothing is free. The side

effect however is that people are becoming more materialistic; more concerned

with making money and what money can buy. But how much money is enough? Is

it ever enough? To some, it will never be enough. In my opinion, I truly believe

that this statement is true and that people are becoming more materialistic in

nature. In this essay, I will discuss how materialism has affected modern society’s

way of life on an individual level, the country’s economy as well as our spiritual

and moral beliefs.

First and foremost, each individual is affected by materialism to some extent in

this day and age because hedonism is becoming an uprising trend. This is because

today's generation are geared towards making more and more money so that

they can enjoy the carefree lifestyle that is so popular these days. Moreover,

people now are striving to earn more income in order to afford things that are

more expensive and branded. For example, people spend their hard earned

money on material objects like genuine LV and Coach handbags, expensive

gadgets like Iphones and Tablet pcs and so on which in my opinion is a waste of

money when regular goods may prove to be good enough. Therefore, while

individuals become more focussed on their pursuit of material wealth and

improving their standard of living, they may forget that what matters most in life

is quality time spent with family and friends and not the quantity of their material

goods.

Secondly, when society starts spending in a materialistic manner it will surely have

a domino effect on the country’s economy. This means that the spending power

of society will help boost the economy and create more business opportunities

for the booming trade. However, when a society overspends, using plastic money

or credit cards, or when they take loans they cannot afford to repay, then the

country’s debt margin will be higher. For instance, USA today is facing an

economic crisis because banks have approved home loans to people who aspire

to own bigger houses than they can actually afford and this is causing the collapse

of the country’s economy there. Thus, while a society’s spending habits helps our

economy to grow, overspending due to materialism will have an adverse effect to

the country’s financial stability.

Last but not least, materialism affects our spiritual and moral beliefs. This is due to

the fact people who are materialistic may become ‘amoral’ whereby they

disregard their spiritual and moral upbringing and instead turn to crime to satisfy

their materialistic needs. In fact, the crime rate is increasing because criminals

these days have developed many ways to gain more money from society. Take for

example, there are more reports of snatch thefts, burglaries, kidnapping for

ransom, credit card fraud, internet banking hacking and others that are driven by

materialistic criminals. Hence, when people lose sight of their spiritual and moral

beliefs and believe instead in the greed of materialism, therefore the crime rate is

bound to increase.

In a nutshell, materialism is a common agenda in the 21st century as more people

are working hard to afford things beyond their reach. While this may spur

individuals to work harder to improve their standard of living, overspending due

to materialism may cause the downfall of a country’s economy and their morality.

In my opinion, I still firmly believe that materialism has a strong hold on today’s

society; both positive and negative effects. Our government can encourage

society to be less frivolous and wasteful in spending by running campaigns such

as ‘Consumer Awareness’ and ‘Buy Malaysian Made Products’ in order to educate

our younger generation for the prosperity of our nation.

SAMPLE 2) MID YEAR 2010: MUET WRITING 800/4 QUESTION 2

The world today is turning more to electronic communications such as the

e-mail, Facebook and Short Message System (SMS). What is your opinion of this

growing trend? Discuss. You should write at least 350 words. [60 marks]

Everywhere we turn today, the world is crowded with people busy typing SMSes

on their Nokias or iPhones or someone is staring unblinkingly at a Facebook or

Yahoo page on the computer screen. Whether you like it or not, the age of

Information Technology is upon us, and we can either learn new skills and adapt

to this new technology, or be forever lost and stuck in the older generation. In my

opinion, I am fully convinced that this growing trend is the way of the future, and

it brings countless benefits to mankind. In this essay, I will discuss three positive

effects of electronic communication, namely its efficiency, enhances

communication and creates a borderless world community.

First and foremost, more and more people are relying on e-mail, Facebook, Short

Message System (SMS) and other types of electronic communication tools

because of its high efficiency. This is because in today's age of globalisation, we

need information at the tip of our fingers. Moreover, with the use of these tools,

we can increase the speed of getting the necessary and relevant information

within seconds and this will increase our productivity. For example, gone are the

days of using 'snail mail' or regular letters using stamps and envelopes and many

more examples of 'old' technology because it is simply too slow and inefficient.

Therefore, these e-communication tools increases the access to important

information which is why the new generation is fully accepting this growing trend.

Secondly, this form of technology enhances communication among people today.

This means that when we use SMS, e-mails and websites like Facebook, we are

able to communicate clearly and directly to our target audience. Furthermore,

people today find that the message is more important than the form it comes in

as an e-mail in short but clear sentences is just as good or even better than a long

and formal letter. For instance, an SMS can give clear instructions in just a few

words and this communicates what needs to be done quickly and directly. Thus,

when the intended message can be spread clearly using short and clear

information like in SMSes and emails, communication can be enhanced and there

will be less problems of miscommunication.

Last but not least, e-communication creates a borderless community in the world

we live in today. This is due to the fact that the boundaries that separate each

country becomes less relevant when information is transferred without

limitations. In addition, the world would be a better place because there is a sense

of 1-World commitment, respect and tolerance for the global community through

efficient and clear e-communication. Take for example, we are able to connect

with people on an international basis using Facebook, Friendster, Tagged,

Hotmail, Yahoo and others. Hence, these tools will enhance global unity and

create a more peaceful world.

In a nutshell, this growing trend has many positive effects not just to individuals

but the global society in terms of efficiency, enhancing communicative skills and

shaping a borderless community. In my opinion, I still firmly believe that this latest

trend is the best way forward and if we do not catch up, we will be left behind by

the tide of development. Our government can encourage the proper usage of

electronic communications by increasing communication amenities and free

broadband accessibility especially in rural areas so that they can enjoy the same

facilities as city-folks therefore balancing the development of our country towards

achieving Vision 2020.

SAMPLE 3) MID YEAR 2011: MUET WRITING 800/4 QUESTION 2

The most valuable thing in life is friendship. Do you agree? Discuss. You should

write at least 350 words.

[60 marks]

It is true that no ‘man is an island’ meaning that no one in this world can live alone

without friendship. That person would be very socially challenged as he or she

would miss the camaraderie and life experiences that come with friendship.

However, I completely disagree with the statement that the most valuable thing

in life is friendship as there are certainly more important and priceless things in

life besides this. In this essay, I will outline how life itself is more valuable than

friendship, and elaborate on why family and the individual’s principles in life are

ranked higher.

First and foremost, before one can enjoy the beauty of friendship, one must

surely value life itself or in other words, we should value our health. This is

because, the quality of our life is the single most important criteria in life if we are

to live a meaningful and wholesome life. Moreover, without good health, we will

be hard pressed to do even the simplest of tasks like feed ourselves or relieve

ourselves without the help of doctors, nurses and caregivers. For example, if we

are paralysed, lost our sight, hearing or ability to speak or even a simple case of a

fever or allergic reactions, then the quality of our life is greatly reduced and no

amount of friendship can make us healthy again. Therefore, while friends can

stand by us in our time of need, pristine health is still the most valuable asset in

our lives.

Secondly, we are no one without our family as indeed blood is thicker than water.

This means that however you analyse it, friendships will almost always play

second fiddle because family always comes first. Furthermore, if we do not value

our family above others, then there must be a problem among the family

members that has caused their relationship to be strained. For instance, people

tend to turn away from family if the family member(s) themselves are the ones to

cause them to react negatively such as divorced parents, abusive parents or

siblings and so on. Thus, when people consider friendship to be the most valuable

thing in life, more often than not they may come from a troubled household.

Last but not least, a person’s principles in life is by far more valuable than

friendship alone. This is due to the fact that each person needs to have a code of

ethics, quite often prescribed by their individual religions. In addition, this code

will guide each person to live their lives according to the good and right principles.

Take for example, if an individual has set his principles to do good, then no

amount of friendship especially negative influence from friends, can shake his

hold on his principles and cause him to commit undesirable deeds like smoking,

stealing, raping, murdering and others. Hence, if a person values friendship so

much to the point where he is willing to break his principles, then he has done a

serious misdeed against himself and will most likely regret his actions later in life.

In short, friendship is the rainbow of life as it colours our horizons with invaluable

experiences but without good health, a supportive family and strong principles,

life becomes empty and meaningless. In my opinion, it is beyond a shadow of a

doubt that I still firmly believe that friendship is not the most valuable thing in life.

Our government can encourage people to prioritise health, family and principles

in life by organising awareness campaigns especially in primary schools where the

younger generation should learn about priorities in life because they are the

leaders of tomorrow.

SAMPLE 4) MUET WRITING 800/4 QUESTION 2

The rising fuel price has pushed up the price of other consumer products. How

will this affect the society? Give your opinion. You should write at least 350

words.

[60 marks]

basic survival while the lucky few indulge in luxuries without worrying about

money. In my opinion, I strongly agree that the rising fuel price has pushed up the

price of other consumer products and this will definitely affect the society. In this

essay, I would like to touch on the effects this price increase has on society today,

namely increasing vice activities, widening the gap between the rich and the poor

and affecting the population trend in the long term.

First and foremost, society will immediately be affected by the rise in fuel prices

because consumer products will be more costly and this leads to an increase of

vice activities. This is because basic necessities such as rice, flour, sugar and so on

will be in great demand and some warehouses will store or hoard the items to

further increase the price of the product. Moreover, in the newspapers today,

reports of smuggling of these items prove that this vice activity is on the rise. For

example, the recent sugar price hike caused a furor among the Malaysian society

as it costs more fuel to travel to and from the supermarket and when arriving,

most places had run out of stock even though the government had allocated 2kg

of sugar to one person. Therefore, the fuel price increase had definitely caused

more hardships to society today.

Secondly, it is undeniable that the rise in fuel prices leads to the widening of the

gap between the rich and the poor. This is due to the fact that people are greatly

affected by the price of basic necessities such as food and fuel in particular.

Furthermore, the rich people will still be able to afford such things but the poor

will face greater challenges as the popular saying goes: "The rich get richer, and

the poor get poorer." For instance, when money is used to purchase consumer

products that are necessary for survival, then less money will be spent on health

and dental check-up, educational purposes and others. Thus, it is clear that the

fuel price hike will further stress on the differences between the rich and the poor

which is such a tragedy.

Last but not least, in the long term the population trend or demographics of the

society will be greatly affected. This means that new families will consciously

decide not to have too many children in order to increase their quality of life. In

addition, society is now more aware of birth control and family planning so this

will greatly reduce the population as most families will have 1 to 5 children instead

of more. Take for example, new families with less children will surely spend less

on basic necessities like food, clothes, transport and many more. Hence, the

demographics of the whole country will be affected and this in turn will reduce

our workforce which will affect our country's productivity and prosperity.

In short, there are many short term to long term effects of a fuel price increase

which includes more crimes like hoarding and smuggling will occur and this leads

to the widening of the gap between the rich and the poor as well as a change in

the society's demographics. I still strongly believe that the rising fuel price has

pushed up the price of other consumer products and this will surely cause a

negative impact to society. The government must find a way to stabilise the fuel

price at a reasonable rate so that it does not affect the productivity of this

country towards achieving the aspirations of the nation for Vision 2020.

FACTUAL WRITING

1. WAR

In terms of world peace, we should never repeat the mistakes

of World War I in 1918 where we lost about 5 million people

and World War II in 1945 that took the lives of more than 61

million. These wars are concrete examples of why killing and

death are not acceptable. Instead, we should find a way

through the United Nations and other such organisations to

conduct peace talks at all costs because wars give nothing but

negative impact to the human race.

2. ENVIRONMENT

Mankind is doing irreparable damage to mother nature to the

extent that more and more natural disasters have occurred in

recent times such as the undersea earthquake a day after

Christmas in 2004 which unleashed multiple tsunamis in 14

countries killing over 230,000 people. More recent are the

earthquakes in New Zealand last year and this year Japan was

hit full force by a tsunami that almost destroyed the

Fukushima nuclear power plant and caused a nuclear

meltdown similar to the radioactive disaster in Chernobyl,

Ukriane (1986). Therefore, we must reduce our negative

impact to the environment because it will definitely affect

mother nature.

3. NATIONAL UNITY

There are many lessons we can learn from our own history

including the May 13 1969 racial riots between the Malay and

Chinese especially in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. Almost

200 people were killed and this really emphasised why we

need to be more understanding, tolerant and respectful of

each others‟ cultural differences. Otherwise, another terrible

racial riot will occur and this will destroy the national unity

that we have worked so hard to achieve for the past half

century of independence.

4. TERRORISM

World peace is threatened when terrorists launch attacks

such as the 9/11/2001 hijacking of two 767 jets into the twin

towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City. This is

such a tragedy because it took 2,753 lives but there are

uncountable more lives, maybe millions, that have been

shaken by this terrible event. This has led to more lives lost

through the hunting down of Saddam Hussien and Osama bin

Laden, both of whom were influential leaders that

commanded troops of terrorists. Hence, the governments of

each country need to work hand in hand to protect its citizens

from further terrorist threat.

5. PATRIOTISM

In recent times, the world has seen a number of tragedies that

are unbelievable and atrocious such as the bombing in Oslo,

Norway where Anders Brevik went on a shooting rampage

and killed at least 77 youths because he was against

multiculturalism and Muslim immigration. Thus, although we

should be patriotic at all times, there must be moderation

because the extremism showed by Norweigian Anders

Behring Breivik is very unhealthy and this does not create

peace, but instigates world wars.

6. PROUD TO BE MALAYSIAN

We should be proud to be living in a peaceful land as there are

no wars, enough food and opportunity to improve our

standard of living. On the other hand, places like Palestine

face the uncertainty and horrors of war every day, while there

are many crisis elsewhere such as in Somalia, Afghanistan

and even in Thailand which is our direct neighbour. In short,

we need to defend our peace and freedom not just for this

generation but for our children, and our children‟s children.

7. ENDANGERED ANIMALS

Datuk Michelle Yeoh from Perak is an international actress

most famed for her role in action movies and being the Bond

girl in „Tomorrow never dies‟ is also known for her full

support of the anti-smuggling of endangered animals

campaign. Along with celebrities such as Jackie Chan, they

both support the saying, “When the buying stops, the killing

will too.” Therefore, we should also support this campaign to

stop the buying of illegal animal products such as ground

rhino horn, ornamental elephant tusks and animal fur and

skin to make clothes and accessories.

8. INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed is an extremely inspirational

man as he was the longest serving prime minister of Malaysia

from 1981 to 2003 during which he was called the „Father of

Modernisation‟. We have a lot to thank him for including our

aspiration to achieve the developed nation status through

Vision 2020. He was also behind the successful programs

such as Multimedia Super Corridor, Proton cars, KLCC and

KL towers, Formula 1 Sepang Circuit and many more which

have brought prosperity and countless opportunities to fellow

Malaysians. Therefore, to me he is truly inspirational as even

today he has his own website, blog and Facebook page where

he shows eloquence and critical thinking even though he is

now 86 years old.

9. SPORTS

Malaysia has a lot to be proud of in terms of sports as today

we have two individuals in racquet sports that are ranked No.

1 in the world. They are Datuk Lee Chong Wei for badminton

and Datuk Nicol Ann David for squash, both hailing from the

island of Penang. The two are prime examples of a

have managed to divide their time to be a successful

sportsperson. Datuk Nicol is 28 years old and been playing

squash intensively since young but she still managed to score

flying colours in her SPM where she obtained 7As. This is

evidence that with the right attitude and diligence, anything is

possible.

10. BUSINESS

Malaysia is proud to have businessmen who have carved a

name for themselves in the international arena. Tan Sri

Anthony Francis Fernandes, CEO of Air Asia, owns the world

best low-cost airline (2009-2011) which has created countless

opportunities for Malaysians to travel around the world for

business and leisure. With his amazing tagline, “Now

everyone can fly”, it is truly wonderful that we can experience

international travel because travelling is now affordable for

all. Another famous Malaysian entrepreneur is Datuk Jimmy

Choo, famed for his exquisite handmade heels which are

sought after by all the celebrities in America and the whole

world including the fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker, a

famous Hollywood actress. Therefore, we should always look

for opportunities to expand our business not just in the

Malaysian market but penetrate the international market as

well.

1.HEALTH

Health is very important in our lives as we cannot carry out daily

activities efficiently without a healthy body. In Malaysia, mass

vaccination is practiced in public schools. The vaccines may be

administered by school nurses or a team of other medical staff from

public sectors. For instance, children may receive the oral polio vaccine

in Year One of primary school, the BCG in Year Six and the MMR

(measles, Mumps and Rubella) in Form Three of secondary school. In

2010, the government will provide all 13-year-old girls three doses of

human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. This

policy aims to prevent illness, disability and death of Malaysian citizens

which can be triggered by various diseases.

2.EDUCATION

The Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin

said according to PTPTN (National Higher Education Fund

Corporation) about 2000 students qualified for scholarship worth

RM73 million. So far, PTPTN had approved loans amounting to

RM38.69 billion for 1.75 million students and waived loan repayments

totaling RM277.99 million for 9545 students with first class honours

last year. This shows that the government is serious in raising the

standard of human capital in Malaysia so we may achieve developed

nation status by Vision 2020.

3.SPORTS

Sports should be integral to a person’s life. This is due to the benefits in

health that can be derived from it. In addition, skills such as strategic

thinking and teamwork can be emphasised among Malaysians. The

Ministry of Education had introduced the 1 Student 1 Sport policy (1

Murid 1 Sukan) to encourage students to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Making participation in sports compulsory helps student develop a

more holistic and balanced approach in life while sharpening the skills

of talented individuals in various sports such as badminton, football,

athletics and so on. Our government can improve this program by

providing subsidized sporting equipment for each student so that they

can afford racquets, bats, balls, spikes that are essential to the

development of the sporting standard of the country.

4.AGRICULTURE

Agriculture in Malaysia makes up 12% of the nation’s gross domestic

product (GDP). 16% of the population of Malaysia is employed through

the field of agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Based

Industry (MOA) serves as an agency for private agriculture businesses

in Malaysia to get advice by experts that specialize in agriculture, fishing

and livestock. The statutory body under MOA, Agrobank also helps

farmers and fishermen by offering financing packages and loans so that

they can start their businesses without life-long savings.

5.INDUSTRIALISATION

The major industries in Malaysia are rubber, textiles, basic metals, food

processing, petroleum and electronic goods. In 2007, Malaysia was the

3rd largest economy in South East Asia. The Malaysia New Economic

Policy (NEP) was created in 1971 with the aim of achieving a 30%

Bumiputera share of the economy of Malaysia while eradicating poverty

amongst Bumiputera. After 30 years of program, the NEP had achieved

its goals where Bumiputra ownership increased to 18.9% in 2004

against 2.4% in 1970, while poverty decreased to 8.3% in 2004 from

64.8% in 1970.

6.ICT

Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had

distributed a total of 285332 laptops to secondary school students in

Malaysia to help educate and engage poorer students in information

and communication technology (ICT). The aim of the ‘1Malaysia

Computer’ program was to benefit 65% of the students in government

and government-aided schools. The conditions to receive free laptops

were: only household incomes below RM3,000 in rural areas (below

RM5,000 in urban areas), the family did not own a computer, and the

children were in Forms 1 until 5, each family was limited to one

computer. Free laptops would help students improve their learning

skills as they could search for extra information independently by using

the internet access. This program can be improved as the government

should provide free internet access through portable broadband

connection so that all students could do self-learning conveniently at

home.

Internet crimes essay

In this era where everything is just a click away, the advanced

technology available has provided mankind with loads of convenience

and the invention of internet access allows people to do various kinds of

job sitting in front of the computer. In my opinion, I believe that the

increasing cases of internet crime has brought about many

disadvantages. In this essay, I will discuss two bad effects of internet

crime which include loss of personal properties and disturbance in

personal life as well as a prevention method which is to increase

self-awareness and alertness in the society.

First and foremost, the victims will suffer from loss of personal

properties such as a huge amount of money and some official data. This

is because the personal information of the people who have been

cheated such as bank account number is abused by the criminals.

Moreover, the number of hackers who know well how to access to

people's personal online account illegally is also on the rise. Take for

example, many opportunist parties send emails to people telling them

that they have won cash prizes and require their bank account number

to bank in the money to their bank accounts but the criminals actually

derive all the money from those bank accounts. Therefore, internet

crime has caused people to lose their personal properties.

Next, internet crime threatens the personal life of the victims. This

means that their personal security, safety and privacy are challenged.

Furthermore, their family members probably will suffer from deep

depression too. For instance, some irresponsible people spread rumours

on the internet that will ruin the victim's reputation and some even post

the personal details and inappropriate photos of the victim out of hatred

or grudge for the victim and many more. Thus, the victims will

experience an ordeal which people around will look down on them or

make fun of them over a long period due to internet crime.

In order to prevent the internet crime from escalating, one should avoid

giving others their email addresses and especially their account

passwords. People should also sign up for trusted websites only. Besides

that, the crime prevention department can collaborate with schools and

government to teach people how to increase their online account

protection such as Facebook account and to report as spam when they

receive junk emails. All in all, all these strategies can help to lower the

number of internet crime cases by increasing the self-awareness and

alertness of the society.

In conclusion, the disadvantages of internet crime that I mentioned are

loss of personal properties and disturbance of personal life while

increasing the self-awareness and alertness of society is one of the

preventions. I still agree that internet crime brings a lot of bad effects to

people and the society. I hope that the government can impose stricter

laws so that less people will become the victim of internet crime in the

future.

SAMPLE 2

Internet crime refers to any crime that involves a computer and a

network. It is a criminal exploitation of the internet. As more people are

being cheated by irresponsible parties using it as their scam tool, it is

indeed a serious matter that we should look into. There are many

aspects of internet crime but here I will touch on the three main

examples, namely credit card fraud, get rich quick schemes and stalkers

on the internet.

One of the most well known cyber crimes would be the credit card fraud.

Credit cards are meant to make life easier for us as we would not need to

carry cash when we do our purchasing. Nevertheless, easy life can

sometimes cause us to be careless. Online purchasing has been made

possible using the credit card. However, people are still not aware that it

could be very dangerous. We have been warned countless times not to

reveal our PIN numbers and passwords easily. We have also been

advised to change our passwords regularly to avoid falling prey to these

irresponsible parties. We should be aware that just at the click of the

mouse; our savings would be wiped out in seconds if we are not careful.

Another common internet crime that we often read about would be the

get rich quick schemes. As our country is improving in its economical

sector, our society seems to see a decline in its moral values. People are

getting greedier as everyone wants to get rich the fastest and easiest

way. This is when we see people becoming victims of these get rich

quick schemes. So often we read about victims being lured into

revealing their banking account PIN numbers and passwords or merely

banking huge amount of money into a stranger’s banking account so

that they could ‘claim’ whatever that has been promised to be released

from the authorities. Reading about these stories in the newspaper

really angers me as by now we should know that there is no such thing

as free lunch!

We also read a lot about stalkers and paedophiles who operated in the

cyber world and often prey on young people. Teenagers should be

educated on the dangers of posting photographs and videos of

themselves online. What was meant to be a joke had turned out to be

something more serious as private photographs and videos had been

known to circulate around. Cyberstalking and sextortion have been

linked to it. Users would face online threats once their identity has been

known to the stalker. This is serious as we have so often read related

stories of teenage suicides to cyberstalking. We should only share

photographs, videos and information that we want to make public as

there is a good chance that it will spread beyond our control.

In conclusion, internet crime is very serious and it is something that you

and I should ponder about. Therefore, we should be aware of the

negative effects that it could bring.

Our government can help create

awareness about internet crimes by doing roadshows and campaigns so

that the public will not be too easily cheated by irresponsible scam

artists.
