Write it right

THE Star’s Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) pullout is looking for Form Six and pre-university students to contribute essays to our Earn Your Band 6 column.

The question below is the essay topic for Writing Task 2:

Topic 9 (Deadline: Sept 17): In your opinion, will e-learning be able to overtake traditional forms of teaching and learning?

Essays should not be less than 350 words, and should meet the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) writing criteria.

Title your e-mail “Earn Your Band 6: Topic (number)”, and send it to schoolstuff@thestar.com.my.

Provide your full name, age, school name, IC number, home address and cellphone number.

Students whose essays are published for Writing Task 2, will be given certificates of recognition endorsed by Star Media Group Bhd.

Not just that, we will grade your submission using a three-star system. Get one star and take home RM50; hit two stars and walk away with RM75; clinch three stars and RM100 is yours! This applies only to Writing Task 2.

Earn Your Band 6 is aimed at improving the English proficiency of those taking the MUET. It features tips and strategies from MUET experts.
