General Performance

The overall performance of the candidates this year was encouraging. Improvements
were clearly shown. Candidates understood the requirements for all the tasks. Abilities
in expressing ideas confidently, giving justification and creative construction of
sentences were evident. A majority of the candidates showed abilities to fulfil the
requirements of the tasks acceptably. Nevertheless, some candidates were unable to
answer correctly due to poor command of the language.

GENERAL PERFORMANCE OF CANDIDATES ACCORDING TO THEIR GROUPS

High Achievers ( HA )

Candidates in this category used a variety of sentence structures confidently to express

ideas appropriately in their writing. Compound and complex sentences were well
constructed. Idioms, proverbs and similes used were contextually relevant. Candidates
were also able to expand on the given notes and paragraphing was correctly done. The
responses provided were able to arouse and sustain the interest of the readers.

Average Achievers ( AA )

Bahasa Inggeris SK 1 Kupasan Mutu Jawapan UPSR 2012

Candidates in this group were able to write simple and compound sentences. However,
due to limited vocabulary, there was little creativity and new ideas in their writings.
Answers given in all three sections were straightforward and simple. They made
attempts to write complex sentences but there were omission of words, spelling and
grammatical errors. Vocabulary used was insufficient to support meaning. Candidates
had the tendency to use the same structures and ideas.

Low Achievers ( LA )

The candidates were unable to construct simple sentences correctly due to lack of
vocabulary and proficiency in the language. They could not write comprehensible
sentences. They resorted to direct lifting and direct translation due to mother tongue
interferences.
