Practice MUET Speaking practice:

Situation

A friend of yours has decided to go into the retail business. However, he does not know what line of retail he should focus on. He decides to get some advice from his friends and relatives.

Candidate A:
You are his father. You advise him to concentrate on children's clothes. Give reasons for your answer.

Candidate B:
You are his aunt. You advise him to concentrate on clothes or teenagers. Give reasons for your answer.

Candidate C:
Your are his sister. You advice him to concentrate on clothes for women. Give reasons for your answer.

Candidate D:
You are his good friend. You advise him to concentrate on clothes for men. Give reasons for your answer.

So, disini saya kongsikan jawpan yang boleh anda berikan sebagai panduan:

CANDIDATE A' S ANSWER : Chidren's clothes are expensive – many parents can't afford – parents looking for clothes that are comfortable, reasonably priced and easy to maintain – tell friend – check out 'pasar malam' outlets – get an idea of the range, type and pricing of these clothes – many parents do not make clothes – prefer to buy –children grow fast – must constantly buy clothes.

CANDIDATE B' S ANSWER : Selling teenagers' clothes – sure bet – number of teenagers on the rise – have ready cash but can't afford more pricey clothes sold in boutiques – they want cheap but trendy – easy to cater to teenage fashion – what teenagers want to not seem to go out of fashion – wide range – T-shirts, jeans, blouses, little bags and other accessories are always in dem

CANDIDATE C' S ANSWER : Lost of women are now working – they want to look smart – affordable prices – want something smart, fashionable, and decent – working, so have their own pocket money – unlike women in the past – housewives, depend on husbands – fashion constantly changes – women try to keep up – buy new, up-to-date clothes

CANDIDATE D'S ANSWER : There are very few shops that are exclusively for men-clothes in supermarkets are mostly for women and teenagers – range of product for men include smart shirts and pants for the office, for casual wear and leisure purpose – men nowadays are more conscious of fashion – more willing to spend money on clothes and fashion.

Assalammualaikum.

Alahai.. esok Mellya ada Muet lah. Amik cuti arini dengan esok sebab nak prepare sikit. Fuh tak study lagi ni. Menghadap lappy kejap. Yolarh nanti tak ada free time nak jenguk korang. Busy sampai lepas raya. Jom tengok serba sedikit tentang Muet nih. Thanks to source for the simple information.

The Malaysian University English Test (MUET) is similar to the IELTS or TOEFL test in that universities use it to test prospective students' English abilities prior to studying with them. However, the MUET is only used by universities in Malaysia to study at one of the country's universities. The MUET is also a pre-requisite to study at a small number of universities in Singapore. There are 3 opportunities in the year to take the MUET: March, July and November. STPM candidates, matriculation students, diploma and pre-university students who wish to pursue a first degree programme in a local university. You must register to take the test at the
Malaysian Examinations Councilwebsite (they oversee the test) The MUET costs RM100.00 to take. If you are not satisfied with the result you receive, you can apply to have it checked, though this will cost RM70.00. Usually the Writing, Reading and Listening parts of the test are done on the same day, while the Speaking section will be tested on another day close to that date. The MUET is separated into 4 different sections: Writing, Reading, Speaking and Listening. You must complete all of them.

Writing

Length: 90 mins
Marks worth: 90 marks
Weighting: 30%
Number of questions: 2
Types of questions: Interpreting information from a short piece of text and extensive writing task on a given topic. Texts to work from may include a report or a letter.
Tip: Complete task 2 first as this is worth more marks. Do not make "blind" statements; back up everything you write with facts.

Reading

Length: 90 mins
Marks worth: 120 marks
Weighting: 40%
Number of questions: 50
Types of questions: Multiple choice questions about 6 texts (e.g. newspaper article, academic text, journal article etc.)
Tip: Make sure you actually read the question and any other information given in full – it is the reading section after all! Underline words or phrases you don't understand or recognise. When preparing for your MUET, expose yourself to a range of texts in your personal time which are well-written. These should be reputable sources such as the BBC or New York Times which use a good standard of English so you'll broaden your vocabulary and ability to comprehend a range of texts.

Listening

Length: 30 mins
Marks worth: 45 marks
Weighting: 15%
Number of questions: 20
Types of questions: Multiple choice questions with short answers based on a recording of a lecture, talk, discussion, conversation or announcement, requiring students to demonstrate a number of skills such as paraphrasing and recognising fact from fiction
Tip: Practise your ability to hear selectively the most important parts of a piece of audio and note these down quickly as you listen. While the audio should feature a speaker using standard English, try listening to some regional accents so you are at least familiar with the way they may vary – it will make you more confident approaching speakers from different regions. Watch TV shows and movies in English in the weeks before your test, without subtitles in your own language.

Speaking

Length: 30 mins
Marks: 45 marks
Weighting: 15%
Number of questions: 20
Types of questions: Individual presentation (2mins to prepare, 2 mins to present) and group discussion with 3 other students (2 mins to prepare, 10 mins to discuss)
Tip: When preparing for your test, speak with friends and family in English to sharpen your English skills. In the discussion part of the Speaking section, keep the discussion going by asking questions. Make sure your contribution to the conversation is heard, so speak clearly and loudly; don't let the others in your group "steal the limelight" and talk over you. The MUET is scored out of 300 and is separated into 6 bands as follows:
Band 6 (score of 260-300): Very good user – 'Very good command of the language. Highly expressive, fluent, accurate and appropriate language: hardly any inaccuracies. Very good understanding of language and contexts. Functions extremely well in the language.'
Band 5 (score of 220-259): Good user – 'Good command of the language. Expressive, fluent, accurate and appropriate language but with minor inaccuracies. Good understanding of language and contexts. Functions well in the language.'
Band 4 (score of 180-219): Competent user – 'Satisfactory command of the language. Satisfactory expressive and fluent, appropriate language but with occasional inaccuracies. Satisfactory understanding of language and contexts. Functions satisfactorily in the language.'
Band 3 (score of 140-179): Modest user – 'Modest command of the language. Modestly expressive and fluent, appropriate language but with noticeable inaccuracies. Modest understanding of language and contexts. Able to function modestly in the language.'
Band 2 (score of 100-139): Limited user – 'Limited command of the language. Lacks expressiveness, fluency and appropriacy: inaccurate use of the language resulting in breakdown in communication. Limited understanding of language and contexts. Limited ability to function in the language.'
Band 1 (score below 100): Extremely limited user – 'Poor command of the language. Unable to use language to express ideas: inaccurate use of the language resulting in frequent breakdowns in communication. Little or poor understanding of language and contexts. Hardly able to function in the language.' Depending on the university and course you are applying to, you'll need to aim for a certain band. Different subjects will have different band requirements, with Law and Medicine often requiring higher bands. You should try to aim for as high a band as possible, preferably in the top two bands. If you get into a band below this, you may be required to take additional English courses if you are still accepted by the university.

Blabbers: College #10 @ <b>Malaysian University English Test MUET</b>

Posted: 16 Jan 2014 08:34 AM PST

The first post in 2014, shall be dedicated to my MUET results!

I don't know how to describe my feelings. Take for granted? Relieved? Happy? Satisfied?

Anyways, I do feel very grateful for it. Many friends of mine got Band 4, and some even scored Band 3 (which really kicks them down into the abyss of depression). Sigh, what to do? MUET is a very standardised exam with a strict marking scheme where only the strong ones will survive, unlike any other typical matriculation exam for which the standard is always dependent on average nationwide results.

Knowing that my standard will be about a high Band 4, so I just tell the world I'm aiming for Band 4, with a "I-don't-give-a-damn" look, but who knows my little pump inside me is pounding like crazy! Deep down I really hoped to get a Band 5, and I did! Before this I tend to screw Reading and Writing Task 1 up, but seems like that day when I sat for the exam I didn't (if I did, at least not too much!). I thought I did better in speaking, but turns out the score ain't that high.

Band 5 ranges from 220 - 259. So my score is just merely higher than 220. Praise the Lord! I shall throw my own party!

Panduan MUET Guide Tips
Panduan MUET
Before I get to the point of this article, you should know that Malaysian University English Test (MUET) is basically an English proficiency test which means you have to work on being good at the language altogether to actually get good results. In my own experience, I've come to realize that usually English speakers—as in those who speak English at home or with friends—are the ones who obtain a Band 4 or Band 5. MUET Band 6 is near impossible to obtain and the rest fall under Band 3 or less. Circumstances may vary according to the questions given, but note that having a good hold of the language should be your main focus, the questions come in later.

The first thing you need to know about English is that it's not a memorizing subject, rather it's more of a skill that you acquire through lots of practice. It's like learning Math or taking up a new instrument, you cannot be good at it right away; you need to practice before getting it right, unless if you're naturally gifted which I think most of us aren't.

1. MUET Writing
If you're the type of person who thinks that reading the dictionary could help hone your English, then that's where you've got it wrong. Read these 2 sentences:

  • I am not mind you nitpicking of my grammar mistakes.
  • I wouldn't mind if you nitpicked on my grammar mistakes. 

See, even if you understand a bombastic word and fairly know how to use it, it still doesn't equate into having a good grasp of English if your grammar is all over the place. Grammar always comes first and once you've mastered that, then you could go ahead and memorize all those fancy schmancy words to make yourself look smarter. Simple grammar rules like tenses and when to put an S after a word and when not to, all those require practice. I suggest you pick up an exercise workbook on grammar and practice on it, but don't stop there. You will also need to start reading more English materials, any English materials really, as long as they're grammatically correct. The main thing is to read how the article is written as opposed to what it is written. The more you take notice on how they write, you'll slowly get used to the grammar being used.

You cannot just read without writing though, because like I said, English is a skill and you need to practice. Therefore, you should always write and have someone with better English to have a look at it and tell you where you went wrong. Only then you could really improve on your Writing. It takes time, so be patient.

2. MUET Speaking
When you converse in English, sometimes it's different from written English, because written form could be a little formal sometimes. To improve on Speaking, you have to watch more English shows, be it dramas or movies, it really doesn't matter as long as it captures your attention. Having subtitles in your preferred language would be good as it gives you a better understanding as to what the show is talking about. Similar to what I've mentioned earlier, you should notice the words people use when they speak, more so than what they're actually saying. After a while, you would notice a similar pattern from the way they talk and it's totally different from the way we speak our "rojak" English here in Malaysia. Obviously you shouldn't use words like lah, mah, wah, ah, etc in your Speaking.

If you don't usually speak English with your friends, pick out one friend that is good at English and ask him to speak the language with you. It would be awkward at first for the both of you, but if you're determined and if your friend is really willing to help, you will get through the awkwardness and after a while you could really see the improvement. My friend did that and at first she couldn't really speak a proper sentence, but she wasn't embarrassed to ask and learn even if she might've embarrassed herself through the process. She worked hard and after a few months, she really did improve compared to the first time she started speaking English.

3. MUET Reading
Even though it is a multiple choice paper, Reading is tough regardless. If you've tried out questions from exercise books and past year MUET papers, then you would have noticed the difference between the two. For Reading, I suggest you try out lots of different exercises—the tougher the better—and try to learn from your mistakes. See where you've analyzed wrongly and learn from that.

For the first ever Reading paper I did, I think I got less than half correct because I was looking at the questions the wrong way. After learning my mistake, I've improved to getting more than half correct almost every time. Of course you need to read more to familiarize yourself with the type of formal writing (from my experience, they mostly give data questions so most of them are written formally) as it is different from informal or narrative writing, which I find easier to understand.

4. MUET Listening
Listening to me, I find to be the easiest among all 4 papers, though I think those who aren't familiar with English would find it to be a challenge. Watching movies or TV shows could help in Listening too (and not just for Speaking), so does listening to the radio or watching videos online that is English. You need to train your ear to differentiate certain words that might sound similar to the other, like soap and soup, hard work and hardwood. You have to pay close attention to the whole sentence rather than just that word that you think might be the answer. I think the only way to differentiate words is to know what the person is talking about and if it makes sense.

The audio can be a jerk sometimes (which happened to me during my actual exams) so you really have to train yourself to listen carefully. They play the audio twice so what I normally do is to write down the answer with a pencil first, sometimes I even write down 2 or 3 answers when I'm not sure, then when they play it the second time, I write it down with my pen.

Another thing I think you should know about MUET is that the questions sometimes test your general knowledge. Not like what is currently happening in the news, more like stuff about One Malaysia, One Sport, the education blueprint, things like that. So getting a high band sometimes depends on luck too.

I guess that's about it. Remember it takes a lot of time, patience and hard work to get it right. People who speak English at home have an advantage because they read, watch and listen to English stuff all the time, so if you're not one of them then you'll have to put in extra work compared to them. Even after your MUET exams are over, don't stop improving your English, it would give you a better chance of getting a job in the future. Oh and if you're interested in reading about my MUET experience, you can check out my blog. There's stuff about my form 6 life there too if you are interested in reading :)

Alright, all the best!

Good discipline the key to success, students told – BorneoPost <b>...</b>

Posted: 11 May 2014 03:28 PM PDT

SIMUNJAN: Upper 6 students of SMK Simunjan No. 1 were reminded of the importance of discipline to succeed in their undertakings.

This reminder came from Kerine Gadep when he was invited to talk on the skills and techniques required in answering the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) during an academic seminar at the school here which ended last Friday (May 9).

"Discipline is the key to every success in life. It cannot be denied that practising and inculcating good self-discipline will facilitate better achievements in studies and daily activities.

"Today's world is forever challenging and as students, you should always portray high self-discipline in yourself because this internal force will assist you to strive harder in all undertakings if you want to be truly successful in life," he told the 61 Upper 6 students attending the talk.

During the three-and-a-half hour MUET session, students were exposed to skills and techniques in answering all the four components of the test, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Students were also refreshed on skills pertaining to composing good introduction styles as well as the mastery of basic grammar.

They were also reminded of the importance of expanding their English vocabulary besides using synonyms for good sentence structures. Students were also told to speak confidently during individual and group discussion presentation.

The five-day seminar was chiefly tailored to provide opportunity for the students to enhance their learning skills and question-answering techniques besides motivating and preparing them for the coming STPM and MUET examinations.

Besides MUET, STPM subjects such as General Studies, Malay Language, History, Geography, Business Studies, Malay Literature and Art were also covered during the seminar.

Among the teachers involved in making the seminar a success was programme coordinator Sim Soon Pheng, who was assisted by another Business Studies teacher Roslan Mohamad.

Meanwhile Dora Gambang took care of the Malay Literature, Gurungan @ Mohd Aiman (Geography), Vincent Bensten Murni Chip, Suhaila Saida (Malay Language), Abang Kamarul Ariffin Abang Masra, Sutinah Maseri, Hajar Salleh, Rosita Kunyo (General Studies), Hasri Kreni (History), Lessie Lorna Jinus, Christina Ho and Medan Anggut (MUET).

Currently, SMK Simunjan No.1 which is situated about 155km from Kuching has 787 students and 72 teachers, with about 100 Upper and Lower 6 students.
