Exercises
Exercise 1 (education). Decide whether this sentence is generic or original, and say why: Pendidikan penting untuk masa depan murid.
Answer
It is generic. It could appear in any essay on education and names no person, action or setting. Compare it with a version such as “Seorang murid yang mengikuti kelas tambahan Matematik di perpustakaan sekolah dapat menyelesaikan latihan dengan lebih yakin”. See developing original points about education and skills.
Exercise 2 (technology). Rewrite this sentence using the device-user-effect pattern: Internet memberi banyak manfaat.
Answer
One version: Sambungan internet membolehkan seorang murid di kampung menghadiri kelas dalam talian, sehingga dia tidak tertinggal pelajaran.
Device: sambungan internet. User: murid di kampung. Effect: tidak tertinggal pelajaran. See technology essays with concrete examples.
Exercise 3 (community). Name the role, action and result in this sentence: Ahli jawatankuasa surau mengatur jadual bergilir-gilir supaya setiap keluarga menyumbang juadah berbuka, lalu semua jemaah dapat makan bersama.
Answer
Role: ahli jawatankuasa surau. Action: mengatur jadual bergilir-gilir untuk menyumbang juadah. Result: semua jemaah dapat makan bersama.
The sentence is specific because each part can be pictured. See writing about community and family duties.
Exercise 4 (environment). The sentence “Dengan membuang sampah di tong, seluruh negara akan bersih” exaggerates. Rewrite the kesan at a believable scale.
Answer
One version: Dengan membuang sampah di tong, kawasan permainan di taman itu kekal bersih dan kanak-kanak boleh bermain dengan selamat.
The effect now matches the scale of the action. See environmental choices without slogans.
Exercise 5 (health). Remove the absolute claim and keep the argument: Bersukan menjamin semua murid mendapat keputusan cemerlang.
Answer
One version: Murid yang meluangkan masa bersukan selepas sekolah dapat berasa lebih segar apabila mengulang kaji pada waktu malam.
The absolute claim is removed, and the argument now rests on a habit and an observable effect. See writing about health without medical advice.
Exercise 6 (career). Soften this over-promise and keep the point: Kursus pemasakan menjamin kerja di hotel.
Answer
One version: Kursus pemasakan memberi pelajar latihan praktikal yang boleh menyokong permohonan kerja di dapur hotel, walaupun pengambilan bergantung pada keadaan semasa.
“Menjamin” becomes “menyokong”, and the limit is admitted in a short clause. See career preparation without guaranteed outcomes.
Exercise 7 (mixed). Write a four-sentence paragraph for the task “Peranan teknologi dalam membantu masyarakat luar bandar”. Use isi, huraian, contoh and kesan, and label each.
Answer
One model: Isi: Teknologi membantu masyarakat luar bandar mendapat perkhidmatan tanpa perlu menempuh perjalanan jauh. Huraian: Perkhidmatan dalam talian menyediakan maklumat dan urusan yang dahulunya hanya boleh dibuat di pekan. Contoh: Contohnya, seorang petani memeriksa harga sayur melalui telefon sebelum menghantar hasil ke pasar. Kesan: Dia dapat menjual pada harga yang lebih adil dan menjimatkan kos perjalanan.
Mark your own paragraph by checking that each label points to a different sentence.
