Do these when you write an essay:

Include current issues
Use patriotic words such as 1Malaysia
Use idioms


Try to score in novel section... Memorize everything which is needed. More exercises to improve Tatabahasa, perhaps?

All the best^^

Added on June 28, 2012, 10:44 pmread those malay magazines - i used to read kumtum, dewan duno what (i forgot the name of the majalah, usually the contents have spm/pmr tips.. simpulan bahasa n so on. )
it helps A LOT.
I would say copy n paste. meaning picking beautiful words and paste on ur karangan. (ofcoz u must understand it) that to create impression when ur teacher reads it. like WHOAH a gud introduction !!
thats how u score. bcareful not to use too much of bombastic words somehow. just nice to match ur contents

or if can go for tuition.

use simple short sentences, include peribahasa+simpulan bahsa in essay. remeber the formula in writing essay.

btw, read for BM articles more.

try read bm essay book. i think u can find a lot of "kosa kata" there. and yeah, try to use more "peribahasa".

TS, http://anelyza.blogspot.com/2009/08/kata-f...m-karangan.html

good luck and all the best!

My advice for Karangan:

Write Karangan jenis Fakta. Read lots and lots of Dewan Siswa and Dewan Masyarakat- start a subscription if you have to. Memorise the way they write and how they back up their facts. Don't give a shit about their topics. Don't care whether it's racist or not. Just do it.

Why do this? SPM markers mainly use impression marking- if you wrote those "story-type" karangan with forced copypasta "flowery language" it will make you seem unnatural (Some of them can smell copypasta from a mile away). Your karangan might not be bad per se, but when compared to the stories that native speakers wrote, yours will seem worse by comparison, and will therefore recieve less marks.

Don't play their game. Play to your strengths. The best you can do to level the playing field is to write Karangan Jenis Fakta. Stick to a rigid structure (ICHK+UM on Page 1 is very useful for this), write good arguments and support them with lots of facts. Flowery, artsy-fartsy language counts for less here- keep it blunt and keep it focused (this is what Jenis Fakta is all about), which is really easy if you've been reading on your Dewan Masyarakat.

HTH, now get reading. Time is running out.

True, don't write story unless you are very confident that you will score using your story. I always keep my imagination for English and Chinese papers lolxd

haha
that is right
They like to see those words
I do this as well

but dont simply throw the phrases in it if it is not suitable
it will make the condition worse

since i got A+ for BM, i can proudly credit my A+ to my throw-in of peribahasa in my essays.
try to include at least 3 peribahasa in each of your essays

what are 'bombastic words' in BM?

i sat for SPM many moons ago; i didnt recall hearing 'bombastic BM words'. hahahaha....

maybe try use words like 'canggih' instead of 'sofistaked', 'belanjawan' instead of 'bajet', 'antarabangsa' instead of 'internasional', 'fikiran' instead of 'minda' or 'gemuk keterlaluan' instead of 'obes'.......

I think this thread is gonna be useful to you all who are aiming an A for BM
Good Luck, guys !!

my advice is f***ing simple... go read that damn news paper!!!!
this method is cheaper that any book....

and be remind dont ever f***ing memorize entire karangan!!!! <-- lots of people do this. im swear i know.

Do what I did, two days before SPM borrow your friends karangan book and go through. Got A+

Back in my year. My BM teacher forced us to memorize the synopsis of every short story :/

Then she told us to focus on rumusan and karangan more.

And then, I got B+...

+1 i never once pass my bm paper before, except for my spm and i got credit.
all you need to do is improve your essay writing, google those multi-use boombastik introduction and conclusion memorize it and apply into your writing paper

use words that people hardly use.

Tatabahasa should be the basic of all

Peribahasa helps a lot too but don't use those common ones like "bagai aur dengan tebing"

For novel, understand the story and what each gaya bahasa mean instead of memorizing them.

The more you memorize, the harder it gets for you
