Main point (Ayat isi) ➔ Reasons/Factors(Punca) ➔Effect(Kesan) ➔Examples(Contoh) ➔Closure(Penutup isi) I'm no P/A expert, but I believe this will generate ideas for you and it makes your essay more defensible. It applies to almost all kinds of scientific writings and argumentative essays. This technique is called The Toulmin's Model of Argumentation. Example #1: Example #2:

But instead of talking about the effects and drawbacks of the changes, I wrote about the punca. May I also know how to approach it in your manner since the effects and drawbacks are quite wide? Btw, I've already handed it in, just curious to know. The method that I usually use is based on the concept of Yin-Yang, where any ideas can be expanded upon almost endlessly. If you write about the punca, you can also follow up with the akibatnya.

Though not year by year since the effects are likely the same every year. The purpose of the assignment is to test your ability to analyze, interpret and evaluate statistical information.

Haha I remember there's three k. First term is the best. You study about different courts in Malaysia and what cases they handle, you study about the laws in Malaysia and the terms like herbeas corpus, then you study about parliaments, what they do and what they discuss, and what decision needs to be made in order to pass a bill et cetera. First term is the best, but it's the hardest to study IMO. Sounds interesting! What is the power of Habeas Corpus in Malaysia? Are there certain loopholes in the use of habeas corpus?

But I remember it is extremely interesting to study, but we just study the definition of terms. We don't go too specific. Luckily we did not because the first term itself covered about 75% of the terminal system syllabus! Imagine we studied what was previously studied in one year in 5 months! I thought you had fun because you took an interest in kehakiman, and not being forced to memorize. I think all SPM students should learn the common law of Malaysia that protects basic individual rights and freedom. It should also promote democratic awareness among young people. Do A-level students in Malaysia know the basic kehakiman? A writ of habeas corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he should be released from custody. A habeas corpus petition is a petition filed with a court by a person who objects to his own or another's detention or imprisonment. The petition must show that the court ordering the detention or imprisonment made a legal or factual error.

∫nnộvisεr VIP 3,713 posts Joined: Nov 2011 From: Torino	QUOTE(RED-HAIR-SHANKS @ Sep 14 2014, 09:37 AM) Please help the 4 of us. I know that if I want to achieve a satisfying mark in Speaking component, I will have to find ways to aid them and bring them up. It's not a one man job. Thanks for both of your attention and thoughtful advices. One word that will change your life — CONTROL. In other words, you must play the role as the chair, which includes coordinating the discussion; ensuring that the meeting is not dominated by a single individual; moving from one issue to the next; ensuring that the necessary decisions are made; not allow the meeting to exceed the time allotted; and seeing that the minutes are kept. Therefore, it doesn't matter if your friend wants to defend his point. In fact, he doesn't need to defend if three of you don't argue with him in the first place. Keep in mind that Task B is not a debate, just a discussion. The activities in Task B of the Speaking component are very similar to holding a meeting, perhaps less formal. A typical meeting structure is as follows: • the chair opens the meeting • the minutes (may refer to Task A) are read • the agenda is introduced • first subject introduced • the chair gives the floor to a participant (clockwise) • another speaker takes the floor • the chair keeps order • the chair moves the discussion to a new point • the chair directs the discussion • participants propose new motions • the chair moves to a vote • voting occurs • consensus reached • any other business dealt with • meeting closed The language of formal meetings, particularly the language used by the chair, can be rather stylized. The degree of formality Task B requires depends what matters are being discussed. The language suggestions set out below: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Opening [very formal] Ladies and gentlemen, I declare the meeting open. [less formal] Right, shall we get started? The minutes [very formal] May I read the minutes? [less formal] Has everyone seen the minutes? The agenda Has everyone got the agenda in front of them? [introducing first item] The first item on the agenda today is ... [amending agenda] I would like to add an item to the agenda. The subject The purpose of today’s meeting is ... OR The first issue we have to consider is ... OR Perhaps we could first look at ... Giving the floor [very formal] I’d like to give the floor to Dr Fallacy. OR Mr Shanks, do you have any views on this? OR Mr Shanks, would you like to say something about this? Taking the floor [very formal] With the chair’s permission, I’d like to take up the point about ... [less formal] Could I just make a point about ...? OR Could I say something here, please? Finishing a point Has anyone anything further they wish to add before we move on to the next item? OR Has anyone anything further to add? Directing We seem to be losing sight of the main point. The question is ... OR This isn’t really relevant to our discussion. What we’re trying to do is ... Moving to a new point [very formal] Could we move on to item 4 on the agenda, please? [less formal] Now, I’d like to turn to . . . Proposing the motion [very formal] With the chair’s permission, I beg to move that ... OR I would like to propose the motion that ... OR Would anyone like to second the motion? [less formal] I suggest we ... OR I’m in favor of that. OR Is anyone else in favor of that? Moving to a vote Perhaps we should take a formal vote? OR Can I ask for a show of hands? OR Let’s put it to the vote. Voting In the event of a tie, I would like to remind you that I have a casting vote. Those for the motion, please? Those against? Any abstentions? The motion is carried unanimously. OR The motion has been rejected by three votes to one. (Tip: In a group of four, you should cast the last vote to prevent a tie.) Seeking consensus Would everyone agree if . . . OR I’d be interested to know if anyone has any objections, but shall we try ... Consensus [very formal] It seems that we have a consensus. Can I take it everyone’s in favour? [less formal] I think we all agree on that. Any other business [very formal] Is there any other business? [less formal] Is there anything else to discuss? Closing [very formal] I declare the meeting closed. Thank you ladies and gentlemen. That concludes our business for today. Thank you. [less formal] Well, I think that covers everything. That’s all for today. Thank you.

∫nnộvisεr VIP 3,713 posts Joined: Nov 2011 From: Torino	QUOTE(RED-HAIR-SHANKS @ Sep 15 2014, 12:32 AM) But, how do I want to control the discussion in our group and keep the flow of the content in check? By control, I mean you can learn some clandestine linguistics to increase your persuasive power for good in your MUET, professional and personal life, and NOT dominating the entire 8-minute discussion. The role of controlling the flow of the discussion is to be able to bring someone else to your way of thinking in a very short amount of time with as little resistance as possible to accomplish your goals. Just imagine yourself as the talk show host who displays the qualities that help assert charismatic leadership. Watch The Oprah Winfrey show. QUOTE(RED-HAIR-SHANKS @ Sep 15 2014, 12:32 AM) And for example, suppose that candidate A supports his view in a specific point, say, ''Money is indispensable when it comes to...''. If any other 3 candidates try to ask his opinions on why did he choose ''money'' as his point, how should he try to further elaborate his view on the importance of money without keep on rehashing and repeating the exact same point from his brief talk just a while ago? First, stop asking why to your members. If the other 3 candidates load you with the same “why” questions, how would you respond? You may ask why not ask why; and the answer is because the answer to why is because. No pun intended! When you ask why, you are likely to get reasons rather than recovering any more specific information. The reasons (“Because I love money”) will be on surface level, just like the statement (“Money is indispensable”) that you are challenging. Next, ~~instruct~~ persuade all your members to learn the Toulmin's Model of Argumentation (in 20 minutes). Click here. See some examples in Post #304. You will know exactly “what” to ask to extract specific information about your member's opinion, without forcing him to rehash and repeat the exact same point. If he repeats the same thing, disengage him graciously by asking, “Is this true in everyone's world view?” and then follow up with “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness”. I borrow that quote from Bertrand Russell, the philosopher who came up with the infamous Russell's teapot analogy in discussions concerning the existence of God. (I am not an atheist.) In The Uses of Argument, first published in 1958, Toulmin presented a model of the “procedural form” of argumentation. This model aims to capture the functional elements (or steps) that can be distinguished in the defense of a standpoint by means of argumentation. According to Toulmin, the procedural form of argumentation is “field-independent,” meaning that the steps that are taken – as they are represented in the model – are always the same, irrespective of the subject that is being discussed.

∫nnộvisεr VIP 3,713 posts Joined: Nov 2011 From: Torino	QUOTE(RED-HAIR-SHANKS @ Sep 15 2014, 01:42 PM) Alright, that's convincing enough for me to not think too much about coming up with a “perfect conclusion” at the end of the discussion. The “conclusion” means to bring an end to the discussion. It needs not to be pointing who’s right and who’s wrong. If you are quick-witted, you can come up with a metaphor or a philosophical quote that appeal to a larger picture of the topic under discussion. Or else, find a common ground and close with a thought-provoking question, “Isn’t it more important that ...?”

I agree that practice is important, and it’s absolutely necessary to achieve expertise. Naturally, it is easy to talk about in theory, but it’s more fun to talk about in practice. Since we are having a positive discussion to help RED-HAIR-SHANKS, what do you think is the best way to practice?

QUOTE(RED-HAIR-SHANKS @ Sep 15 2014, 09:57 PM) Anyway, if you have some suggestions or strategy on how you are able to ace in any components in MUET exams, feel free to share them up in here. Master a wide variety of language functions and use effective rhetorical strategies of repetition, including anaphora, antithesis, chiasmus, and parallelism. Just like 《獨孤九劍》, once the essence of the linguistics is grasped, the speaker can use it in endless forms and variations 《千變萬化》. Here is a list of common language functions (elementary level): » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Expressing opinions - I think / feel that … - In my opinion, … - Based on my experience, I believe … Soliciting a response - What do you think? - We haven’t heard from you yet. - Do you agree? Paraphrasing - So you are saying that … - In other words, you think … - What I hear you saying is … Seeking clarification - Could you be more specific about …? - Sorry, could you repeat what you said about …? - If I have understood you correctly, your point is … Comparing & Contrasting - One similarity / difference between [subject 1] and [subject 2] is … - [Subject 1] and [subject 2] are similar / different because … - [Subject 1] is …. Similarly / In contrast, [subject 2] is … Expressing Agreement and Disagreement - [agree] Mr Shanks, I think we are in agreement on that. - [neutral] I don’t disagree with you because <insert your idea>… - [disagree] That’s not a view I share, I’m afraid. Justifying points of view - I believe this because … - My primary reason for thinking so is … - Perhaps the most convincing reason for this is … Persuasion - The advantages of [Subject 1] outweigh the disadvantages of [Subject 2] insofar as … - [Logical] MOE statistics strongly suggest that students … - [Credibility] According to the Ministry of Education, everyone will pass this paper. - [Emotional] If we don’t stop spoon-feeding the students now, our next generation won't survive the economic meltdown. Please note this list is not exhaustive and you should expand it. Share with your friends!
