Hi all,
Pretty sure MUET candidates all around Malaysia are working hard on the speaking, writing, listening and reading components. My students and I are forging ahead as well. The classes have been intensive - but the students in my MUET classes have been real troopers - all working very hard because they are determined to do well for MUET in July.
Anyways, here's a short note on writing a body paragraph.
MUET Writing Task 2 Sample Question
Employers should pay young people the same salary as older colleagues doing the same job.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Body Paragraph Example
Many people believe that workers should be paid according to age rather then merit. However, I feel that they should be paid according to results. Take for example, someone in their twenties working in a financial company. They deserve the same salary because they are doing the same work. Moreover, young people nowadays are often faster at doing things than their older work colleagues which compensates for lack of experience.
