Just using the image provided by kumiko. Lazy to make another new one. I marked it with the colored ink.

Corrections:

1. All of us were anticipating the nomination of Peter as the best group leader.

2. After primary education, he enrolled himself into secondary education in SMKJK Nan Hwa.


U are troubling with problems in writing an essay especially in constructing a sentence. Sometimes u tend to use complex sentences (which is good) but u merged a sentence into another sentence wrongly. The flaws can be seen entirely in almost all ur complex sentences. However, dont use too many simple sentences because such sentences do not attract the markers attentions. Try to use complex sentences more often but with proper way. Use the 'and', 'but', 'because', and etc to join ur sentences.

Most importantly, avoid minor errors such as spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. What I can see from ur essay is that u are confused about where to use the present tense and past tense. This should be fixed if u put on more time to check ur essay before submission.

Here's the solution:

EDIT: Oh yea i shouldn't use y. The final answer should be in x. So you change it yourself la, dont write the "Let the reciprocal of x=y". Instead, directly write "The reciprocal of the roots: x=-1/2   x=2"...

His parents are well-educated. Yes they are. Up until now, they are still educated. Right? Not that during they were still in the process of pursuing higher education makes them well-educated ONLY at that time.

Not just because u are referring to the camp as past, that u cant use present tense in ur essay. It relies on the context itself.

ok..i will do it next time. those two essays i did not reread them

er, anyone know how to prepare for the sc subjects P3 de experiment? those need to write out ourselves de..so many experiment how to remember?

Experiements are not something that u should 'hafal'. But it's more to involving and understanding. If u put more attention on the experiments during classes, u would have better and more ideas on asnwering paper 3. True they are probably hundreds of experiments, but that wont be a problem if u go through all the experiments in the classes. In fact, aswering paper 3 will need u to imagine. Just imagine what u have experimented during classes and write the procedure down. It's as simple as that.

Last year's Physics Experiment was not weird lah. I did the experiment though during form 4. It was a force exertion by a rod (wooden/metal) onto a lump of plasticine of definite shape. If u guys ever heard about a practical book entitled Physics 2U, then u could find the experiment in there.

Here, I've run the essay through and touched it up a bit. Edits are in red. Reasons for edits are in italicised green text.

Maybe we could all edit it and make a pro LYN essay. ;o

Then we can publish the essay on LYN as general guidance for SPM-ers. rclxms.gif

how many subjects u guys taken? i only subscribe for 10 subjects. is it advisable to take geo? i saw the book and the questions , seems use alot of common sense yet lots of things to study.

If u have the time to study Geography ur ownself or get a tutor then I recommend u to take it. Back when I was in Form 4, I'd been always thinking of taking the subject. I even had finished study all the Form 4 chapters. But then my efforts had gone to waste since there were only 3 Geography teachers in my school and they were so busy with their own classes, works and stuffs that they had no extra time to entertain me with all the courseworks. So in the end, I excluded Geography from my SPM subjects. I registered for only 10. It was a super duper easy subject but then I had to let go of it because of the mere courseworks. Well, I could just register for the subject but then I decided not to in case I couldn't score A. That's why there are courseworks to help the students to score.

If u are doing a continuous writing type of essay, u should put in a few proverbs or idioms. Some situations/feelings can hardly be expressed or told with mere normal sentences. So, proverbs and idioms speak volume about the expressions, not to mention it does help u to boost up your marks.

QUOTE
Punca yang seterusnya ialah berlakunya bencana alam. Bencana alam seperti letupan gunung berapi akan menyebabkan air tercemar. Hal ini kerana sampah sarap yang dibuang dalam ‘tong sampah’ akan terhanyut akibat daripada bencana alam tersebut ke sungai. Walau bagaimanapun, kita tidak dapat mempersalahkan sesiapa pun juga kerana kita tidak tahu bila akan berlakunya bencana alam tersebut. Negara-negara seperti Indonesia sering mengalami krisis air. Mengapa? Hal ini kerana negara Indonesia sering berlaku letupan gunung berapi. Ini menyebabkan sumber air negara tersebut banyak yang tercemar dan seterusnya membawa kepada kekurangan sumber air. Hal seperti ini juga berlaku di negara Filipina dan Jepun.


I can give you my solute for your essay. However, allow me to direct a question and my opinions.

What do u mean by the bolded sentence? Are u saying that the waste materials from a river disposed by the people are washed away to other rivers, or the waste materials from the dumping site are washed away to the rivers? Your sentence will make some examiners confused though. Try not to use resemblance by putting some words with the ' ' sign. Instead, just use the correct word which gives a direct meaning.

And I don't really think the eruption of volcanoes does fairly contribute to water pollution. The only pollutants that the eruptions emit are the smoke and dust which make the air polluted. In fact, the lava makes the soil and water more futile for plantation though.

Just my 0.02.

Edit: I only read your first essay. The second and third essay, I didn't due to laziness. doh.gif By the way, the introduction looks very familiar to me. sweat.gif

The bolded sentence is confusing though. If you are malay, then I'm not suprised you can do the BM essay this well. If you are chinese, then I wonder why your English essay is not as splendid as BM essay. As far as I concern, most chineses use English in their daily communication. No offense.

I lol'd at your statement.

QUOTE(Wikipedia)
Lava is rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption. When first expelled from a volcanic vent, it is a liquid at temperatures from 700 °C to 1,200 °C (1,300 °F to 2,200 °F).

*
Yeah correct. And those emitted from the volcano are called flying debris, and what's flowing with and at the same time melted in the lava is called molten debris. whistling.gif
