UNDERSTAND THE
ASSESSMENT
CRITERIA FOR
WRITING (1119/1)

10
• SPM 1119 CANDIDATES MUST
UNDERSTAND THE WRITING
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA set by
the Malaysian Examination
Syndicate (Lembaga
Peperiksaan Malaysia)
• How many assessment
criteria?
• Let’s explore…

11
BAND A (44-50 MARKS)
Language entirely accurate. Maybe
occasional first draft slips. Varied
sentence structures in length and
type. Vocabulary wide and apt.
Punctuation and spelling accurate.
Paragraphs well-planned and well-
linked. Topic addressed with
consistent relevance. Interest
aroused and sustained throughout.
12
BAND B (38-43 MARKS)
Language accurate. Occasional errors
are either minor or first draft slips.
Vocabulary wide and used quite aptly.
Sentences show some variation.
Punctuation accurate. Spelling almost
always accurate. Paragraphs show
some planning. Interest aroused and
sustained throughout most of the
composition. 13
BAND C (32-37 MARKS)
Language largely accurate. Accurate simple
structures but errors may occur when more
sophisticated structures are attempted.
Vocabulary wide but not so apt. Tendency
to use one type of structure giving a
monotonous effect. Correct spelling of
simple words but errors occur when spelling
difficult words. Paragraphs may show some
unity but links may be absent. Interest
aroused but not sustained.
14
BAND D (26-31 MARKS)
Language sufficiently accurate. Meaning
clear. Patches of clarity when simple
vocabulary and structures are used.
Some varieties of sentence type and
length. Adequate vocabulary. More
spelling errors will occur. Paragraphs
lack unity and planning. Composition
lacks liveliness and interest value.
15
BAND E (20-25)
Meaning never in doubt but errors
hamper reading. Simple structures
may be accurate. Limited vocabulary.
Frequent mistakes in spelling and
punctuation. Paragraphs lack unity.
Partial treatment of subject matter.

16
BAND U (i) 14-19 marks
Limitation of subject matter due to lack of linguistic skills. Meaning fairly
clear. Many serious errors, mainly of one-word type. Communication
established but errors may cause blurring. Sentences simple and often
repetitive. There may be no paragraphs.

BAND U (ii) 8-13 marks

Errors multiple in nature, requiring the reader to read and re-read before
being able to understand. High incidence of error makes meaning blur.
Maybe short of required number of words. Able to get some sense.

BAND U (iii) 0-7 marks

Script almost entirely impossible to read. Full of multiple-word errors. Whole
sections may make little or no sense. Where occasional patches of clarity
occur, marks should be awarded. “0” is awarded only if no sense at all from
beginning to end.

17
CRITERION 1: LANGUAGE ACCURACY / GRAMMAR
Marks Description
A Language is entirely accurate. Maybe
(44-50 occasional first draft slips (about 90% perfect
MARKS) language)
B Language is accurate. Occasional errors are
(38-43 either minor or first draft slips. (about 80%

perfect language)
E (20-25 Meaning never in doubt but errors hamper
MARKS) reading. Simple structures may be accurate.
18
• CONCLUSION:

quality, there must be lesser
errors in the essay (for a higher
mark)

19

• Time is limited
• Do SPM 1119 candidates have
time to polish their language
quality?

24
TIP 3:

FOCUS ON COMMON
VERBS TO ENHANCE
YOUR LANGUAGE
QUALITY

25
• FOCUS ON YOUR COMMON VERBS
TO REDUCE ERRORS:
• Every sentence that you write has a
verb
• It is a fact that one of the common
errors is errors on verbs – you will
always make mistakes when you do
not know how to use each of the
basic verbs
• Therefore, know your COMMON
VERBS – present tense, past tense
verbs
26
ESSAY 1
SPM 2018: Describe a
problem you once had while
you were travelling. Explain
what you did to solve the
problem and what you have
learnt from the experience.

27
• Last week, I TRAVELLED to Kuala
Lumpur from Bertam. I WENT by bus. It
WAS a big and comfortable bus. My
seat number WAS 15A. I SAT next to a
Malay man. He INTRODUCED himself
as Pak Samad. He WAS going to Kuala
Lumpur to visit his grandchildren. Pak
Samad WAS very affable and he LIKED
to tell about his family. One of his sons
WAS a professor at Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia. He TALKED a
lot about his three grandchildren too.
He WAS a live wire.

28
Our express bus STOPPED at Tapah Rest
Area. I WENT DOWN because I NEEDED
to go to the restroom. Pak Samad WENT
DOWN too but I DID NOT WAIT for him
because he WALKED very slowly. Then,
we MET again at the fruit stall. I
BOUGHT some mangoes. I LOVED to eat
delectable mangoes. Pak Samad
BOUGHT ice-cream. He really LOVED to
eat mouth-watering chocolate ice-cream.
After that, I WENT to buy drinks and
some snacks.

29
Fifteen minutes later, I RETURNED to the
bus. Pak Samad WAS TALKING to the
driver outside the bus. He WAS so
amicable. I GOT ONTO the bus and TOOK
OUT my wallet before I SAT down. I WAS
taken aback to find out my wallet WAS
not in my pocket! I SEARCHED all my
pockets. I TRIED to find my wallet in my
small bag too but it WAS not there! I
quickly INFORMED Pak Samad about my
missing wallet. I WAS at sixes and
sevens. I WAS about to cry when the
driver SAID, “Relax, do not worry. We will
help you.”
30
Pak Samad ASKED me to recall where I
WENT before getting onto the bus. I
REMEMBERED I WENT to toilet, fruit
stall, drinks stall and lastly to Stall
Number 17 where I BOUGHT Mister
Potato. I BEGGED the benevolent bus
driver to give me ten minutes. I TOOK his
contact number too just to make sure he
DID NOT LEAVE me. At breakneck speed,
I RUSHED to Stall Number 17. My heart
WAS BEATING so fast. I PRAYED that I
COULD FIND my wallet there. I really
HOPED I accidentally LEFT it there and
the stall owner WOULD KEEP it for me.
31
I REACHED the stall in less than two
minutes. I WAS GASPING for more
oxygen. Before I COULD ASK the stall
owner about my wallet, he TOOK it out
from a drawer and PASSED it to me.
“Please be more careful next time. Your
wallet is so important when you travel,”
REMINDED the benign stall owner. I
almost CRIED. I WAS so happy to see my
wallet. All my money WAS there. I
THANKED the owner and I HUGGED him.
I PROMISED him I WOULD BE more
careful in future.

32
I have really learnt very important
lessons from what HAD HAPPENED
that day. I learn it is important to
be alert all the time. Moreover, I
learn I must always check my
important items all the time. The
incident has also taught me that
there are still kind and honest
people in this world.

Total: 511 words

33
• ESSAY 2:
SPM 2019: If you had the chance to
be someone else, who would you
choose to be? Explain what would
be good about being that person,
and what might be difficult.

34
When asked about someone that I would
choose to be in this universe, I do not
need to look at celebrities or any other
big names in the society. Personally, if I
had the chance, I would love to be my
mother. We all have people whom we
consider to be highly inspirational and
influential to look upon, and in my case,
my mother is an excellent example of
these characters. She is an
extraordinary person in my life because
of her enduring strength that I dearly
admire, and she is also benevolent as
well as supportive.
35
One thing for sure I really admire my mother’s
strength, which appears to be resistant
throughout hard times. My mother is a single
mother, and she has managed to raise three
children all by herself, providing us with a good
life and education, while still balancing her
work. For instance, when my brother and I
completed or secondary school, only one of us
hoped to join college because of our financial
constraint, but she had two jobs to ensure that
we enrolled in college. I hold great admiration
for my mother because of her determination,
how she never backs down, and the way she
stands up for what she believes in no matter
the hardships that come along. Therefore, being
her would make me to be perseverant too.
36
My mother has a striking appearance, but
behind this, she is very alluring and admirable.
At first, one can conclude that she is a blunt
and cold person because of her quiet nature,
but after knowing her, she turns out to be
amicable, warm-hearted, gentle, and
philanthropic. My mother has been a dedicated
individual in the society through volunteering in
our residential area during weekends and
holidays as well as helping in the local
homeless shelters. Frankly speaking, I am not
as dedicated as her, so being someone like her
would allow me to be a kind-hearted and
deeply-caring person. I always believe that it is
upon me to help those in need whenever I am
capable.
37
I am lucky to have a mother who always
supports me no matter my misgivings. No
matter what activity that I am engaged in or the
decision I make, my mother is still there for me
to give me advice and encouragement. She is at
all times be by my side. I still remember I had a
difficult time adapting to my first year in my
secondary school, and I almost quit, but my
mother listened to my grievances, and with her
support, I managed to cope with my problems.
Being compassionate and supportive like my
mother is significant to me as this trait will
always give me the strength to endure a lot of
grim situations in life as well as learn a lot in
what life has to offer.

38
My mother has her flaws too. I am sorry
to mention this but she is a very
stubborn lady. If I were to be her,
perhaps, it will be difficult for me to
listen to the opinions or advice given by
others to me. Another thing which
sometimes I am pissed off with my
mother, she is adamant with her decision
even though she knows her decision
hurts me. I do not wish to be like that
because I do not want to make decisions
for others. I always prefer each
individual is given freedom and chances
to make his or her own decision.
39
I guess, it is a total truth when
people say nobody is perfect. As
humans, we do have our own
drawbacks. Though my beloved
mother is far from being flawless, I
still wish to be her if I were given a
chance to do so. (623 words)

I have some plans after my SPM
examination. I want to work part-time. I
want to work at my father’s café. My
father has a small café in town which is a
popularly known as Kebabomb Café
[complex]. Many people like to go to his
café. They love the chicken rice, claimed
to be the best in town [complex]. I want to
be a cashier because I want to take care
of the money [complex]. I love to hold
money. However, I have one problem. My
father does not trust me. I think he will
ask me to do something which I hate
[complex]. I do not want to wash the
plates. 81
Maybe I also want to take my driving
license. I like my father’s car which is a
brand new BMW [complex]. I like to drive
his car. My father is worried when I drive
his car [complex]. He is always angry
when I want to borrow his car [complex].
My mother is different. She always
supports me and always gives to me my
father’s car key secretly [compound]. If I
get my driving license, I want to drive to
Kuala Lumpur using my father’s BMW
[complex]. However, I know there is one
big challenge. Will he allow me? Will he be
contented?
82
Perhaps, I also want to go to Langkawi Island
with my friends. I want to enjoy myself with
Badrul and Hafiz [compound]. They are my best
friends. I plan to stay at a five-star hotel and
enjoy ourselves at the spa there [compound].
However, I do not have enough money. Perhaps, I
just stay at a budget hotel. I want to ride the
cable car at Gunung Mat Cincang but I am afraid
of height [compound]. Maybe, I just relax at
Pantai Cenang, claimed to be the best beach in
Langkawi [complex]. I will surely shop for a lot of
chocolates for my mother. I love her a lot. Maybe
I will only buy one KitKat for my father.

I have some plans after my SPM
examination. I hope all my plans
become a reality. [376 words]

• CONCLUSION
• Writing varied sentence structures
in essays is something achievable.
• No doubt time is limited but it does
not take 7 days to understand and
master simple, compound and
complex sentences.
• Practice makes perfect
• English is not like History or Physics
– no numerous chapters to be read
and understood
• - so for English, spend time to
construct compound and complex
structures
85

• CLOSURE:
• Enhance your language quality for your
A+/A/A-
• Yes, this enhancement process takes
time but it is never too late for you to
polish your language quality.
• There are always ways / strategies to
enhance your language quality.
• If you really want to get the best
result, you need to make plans
because “THOSE WHO FAIL TO PLAN,
THEY ARE ACTUALLY PLANNING TO
FAIL”
