Day 1, Session 1 Year End 2011 (not exact words) People who give the most meaningful contribution

to society a)garbage collectors b)toilet cleaners c)road sweepers d)gardeners

Secondly, garbage collectors should be held in high esteem as their job of maintaining the hygiene of society is a crucial one. This means that without them, diseases would spread rampantly. In addition, the overall health of society would suffer as garbage that is uncollected is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and insects. For instance, piles of uncollected rubbish is the perfect place for dengue and malaria carrying mosquitos and many more. Last but not least, a garbage collector's job is very meaningful to society because in this modern era, humans have managed to produce so much rubbish per day that without them, the sheer amount would drown the whole city in a week! Imagine how much plastic packaging each of us throws away within a day. Take for example all the empty plastic bottles, Maggi mee wrappers, plastic packaging from the supermarket and even paper products like cigarette boxes and newspapers among others. In short, society would be seriously crippled if garbage collectors did not do their job. Therefore, I truly believe that garbage collectors provide a very meaningful contribution to today's society. Thank you.

Candidate A:

Good morning to the examinerS and my fellow candidateS. There are many people in this world who contribute meaningfully to society. Some sit in high positions while those who do menial tasks are no less worthy. Likewise, garbage collectors have a significant contribution to our society as not many would voluntarily do this 'stinky' but necessary job. First and foremost, I think garbage collectors deserve merit because they are the ones who maintain the cleanliness of our neighbourhood. This is because, without them, there would be rubbish strewn around everywhere which is a sight for sore eyes. Moreover, the stench itself would cause unease among citizens who need to go about their daily business. For example, rotten food, soiled diapers and so on would be an unbearable sight if not collected and disposed of properly.

So what do you think about this sample? What makes it a high band response? POSTED BY AUDREY WILES AT 7:19 PM 75 COMMENTS:

Good morning to examiners and my fellow candidates. I can ensure there are many different levels of human such as those live a high quality life and those live in low quality life. But, now's society are not interest in serving for citizens. Road sweeper, who play a crucial role in keeping road cleanly. Anyone here desire to serve for social members today? There are small number of social members who willing to do it so. Road sweeper contribute a lot of mental and physical in serving citizens. If the road is not being cleaned up, what will happen to the next? I think the index of car accident of our country will grow up by this way. Take for example, that will cause a series of road accident when the road be covered by a layer of oil. Furthermore, that will expose social members in an unhygienic environment even expose citizens in suffering diseases such as diarrhea and vomiting. In order to prevent the incident occurred, road sweeper play an important role to prevent social member exposed in an unhygienic condition even prevent from suffering diseases. Last but not least, beautiful environment can lead us live in a comfortable and an enjoyable environment. We will obtain the fresh air. Instead, road are not be cleaned up will destroy the beautiful and fantastic world. The fresh are will be turned to stinky air. That is the incident we cannot accept. They are playing their role to rise up the quality of life. I truly believe that road sweeper give the most meaningful contribution to society.

Reply Good morning to the examiners and all candidates. Human should be treating each others respectively immaterial types of jobs they contribute to society. Among the entire services field thats provided, I would like to say that toilet cleaners are the most contribution to society. First and foremost, toilet cleaners are the people who keep cleaning the toilets or gens clean and good looking after everyone usage. To ensure the toilets condition clean and available to be using all the time, toilet cleansers bound to act in full commitment and responsible to carry out their task. Besides that, sometimes this category of workers is also facing some problems on people looking down on them. Thus, it is their must to stay calm and patient to fulfill their task. Indirectly, the contribution also comes to society in sense of toilet cleansers showing him or her personal moral value on the dairy roles thats being learned and respectful by the society itself. Secondly, a person who works as toilet cleaner is less salary even though they work hard. Their contributions are unlimited however the salaries are fixed. Furthermore, we cant make sure the number of times they need to perform their cleaning per day. Thus, their contribution is so unforeseeable. Moreover, no matter hows good the facilities on toilets provided, it is useless if without a toilet cleaner to perform the cleaning job. As to say, people, visitors or customers will feel reluctant visiting a venue thats dirty and stinky and will causing lose of popularities and revenue.

Thirdly, toilet cleansers are those who work hard in behind without notice of others to benefit many aspects. For example, toilet cleansers also keep good image of a company, organization or corporation when the time people visiting their building. Thus, toilet nowadays also becomes part of crucial element within the hospitality management field. With or without our notice, toilets always provided all the tools that necessary for us to use. It is also the responsible of toilet cleaners to ensure the completely set of toilets materials to be provide. By the way, toilet cleaners in society nowadays also have to clean other areas if the toilets are clean. Thus, their jobs would be variable differently based on the circumstances and situation. In a nut shell, society will run out of comfortable if no one willingly to act as toilet cleaners. Therefore, I strongly believe thats contributions from toilet cleaners is undeniable highest integrity and most valuable moral value in their roles. Reply I don't know if this is actually correct(correct me if I'm wrong)

cause but, the people who contributes most to society are the ones who do all the dirty works like toilet cleaners. Without them our public toilets would be filled with graffiti of all sort as well as the byproducts of our own doing being laid waste to rot and decompose with time. First, toilet cleaners do most of the dirty jobs to sanitise a place which is considered to be one of the most "unclean" in Asian society. An example of this is that toilet cleaners cleans the mouth of the toilet as well as the body of the toilet in addition to keeping the place clean as a whistle so that people who use these toilets would feel comfortable as well as not being driven off by the stench of human by-products. secondly, toilet cleaners put their life on the line as they are prone to being infected with bacteria but they do it anyway. They take responsibility of cleaning the toilets because the people who use the toilets is not responsible enough to flush their own waste down the drain and making sure that they use facilities like these clean in other words, it's more closely related to vandalism. Lastly, toilet cleaners do what they do, which is keeping the cleanliness of our toilets. This is because most wouldn't even dare to come close to a dirty toilet. Their job as I said is keeping the cleanliness of the toilet, a toilet that is not clean can be hazardous to the health of society, therefore I strongly believe that toilet cleaners a contribute and provide for society. Thank you **the ones who do the dirty works such as the toilet cleaners

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] Money is always an issue in today's era of materialism. Most people need it for 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.

12.It is important to be a good neighbour. What are some of the qualities needed? A)Polite and respectful B)Friendly and caring C)Helpful and responsible D)Tolerant and understanding SAMPLE 4) MUET WRITING 800/4 QUESTION 2 By Audrey Koh

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.
