MUET Writing Malaysia – Definitive Guide with Essay Example

MUET is a test that all Malaysian students must take in order to apply for their desired course. It consists of 3 parts: Language Proficiency, General Paper, and Subject Knowledge Test. The Language Proficiency section tests the student’s command of the English language through various writing tasks such as essay writing, letter-writing, and summarizing text. This blog post will aim to provide you with tips on how to score well in this section of MUET by providing an example of an essay topic along with guidelines on how it should be written.

What is MUET writing in Malaysia?

MUET is also known as the Malaysian University English Test seeks to measure the English proficiency among candidates who plan on pursuing tertiary studies at universities located within Malaysia.

The MUET is a test that tests the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. While some people may be better at one or two than others; they’re all important to hone in order for anyone interested in pursuing an education around these topics.

The MUET writing test is challenging- students have to transfer information from a non-linear source and write an essay of at least 350 words on the topic given.

MUET Essay Task 1: Report writing (40 marks)

• You have been given 40 minutes to complete the task.
• Study and analyze the information.
• Describe the information or the process in a report format
• Write between 150-200 words

MUET Essay Task 2: Extended writing (60 marks)

• The essay must not be less than 350 words
• Given 50 minutes to complete the task
• Your essay can be:

–   Analytical- –   Descriptive –   Persuasive –   Argumentative

Topics for MUET Essay Writing

The following topics are perfectly acceptable for a MUET essay, as all are general knowledge questions that every university or college student should know.

• Why do people commit suicide for selfish reasons? Discuss
• The most valuable thing in life is friendship do you agree?
• Some people prefer street food others prefer homemade which one is the best to support your answer in 350 words
• Education must be free for every child do you agree or not?
• Impact of social media on people
• Some people prefer small towns to live in others one prefer to live in a city why? Which one do you prefer?

MUET Essay Writing Format

MUET is a challenging exam because it includes writing within the Academic Writing Format. For many students, this format may be unfamiliar and difficult to understand or execute in their answers at test time so they don’t score well on that section of MUET.

This difficulty can come from being unaware of how academic writing differs from other forms such as creative or personal essays which are more common formats for essay questions outside of the MUET testing space.

1. Introduction paragraph:

Introduce your topic to the reader.

• Use catchy lines, questions, brief definitions, etc.
• Must have a thesis statement a statement which consists of the main big ideas
• Never use: “research or study” use words like on the basics of my readings, in my opinion, as this is essay writing, not a research paper.
• Never use: “ can be defined as” use words like “In my opinion, I believe that, etc.”

2. Body paragraph:

Body paragraph: must have 3 paragraphs.

• State the main idea
• Often written as the first sentence of each paragraph
• Supporting details and ideas
• Examples, elaborations, explanations,s, and descriptions can also be included
• Must support the main idea discussed in this particular body/body paragraph
• Use linkers, connectors, and transition words.

Conclusion paragraph:

• Restate the main idea
• Use words like hence, therefore, thus, as a result.
• Write it like it is the last sentence of the paragraph.

3. Concluding paragraph:

• Bring the ending of things that you have discussed earlier.
• Restate your thesis statements.
• The conclusion must have 4 sentences
• You may suggest, give opinions or reaffirm your stand
• Use words: To conclude, to summarize, as a conclusion, finally, lastly, eventually, to encapsulate.

Tips to write MUET Essay for Malaysian Students

The best way to write a MUET essay is to have a succinct thesis in the introduction and also be cognizant of transitions between one topic and another.

Moreover, it’s important to know your audience when you’re writing an essay for MUET. One key point which is usually overlooked by students is having knowledge about the specific subject they’re talking about.

• Transfer information
• Use good grammar
• Carefully analyze the graphical information
• Give your opinion
• Think critically
• If you’re aiming at scoring Band 5 or higher, then critical thinking is a must.
• If your aim is to score Band 5 or higher on the exam, it’s time for some serious rigor and reflection.

Use these tools to help with critical thinking: Short term, mid-term and long term effects

• Example: Alcohol
• Short term: yellow teeth/bad breath
• Mid-term: waste of money
• Long term: Health problems such as cancer
• Individual, society, and government
• Individual: Set goals and prepare for change
• Society: Must not encourage one to consume alcohol.
• Government: Must stop fundraising

Types of MUET Essays

MUET essays are usually of the expository type, they can also be argumentative or persuasive.

• While an essay with a descriptive header generally has a focus on what is being described.
• An essay with a narrative header (or “story”) generally puts a priority on how something was done or what it felt like to do it and the completion
• And an informative-explanatory (inform + explain) header offers treatment or analysis of existing data, facts, practices, etc.
• Persuasive essay questions require you to take up a position on an issue and then persuade or convince the reader about your viewpoint based upon evidence. These can come in the form of anecdotes, facts, statistics etcetera
• Expository Essays are different from other types of essays in that they don’t require any persuasion but instead simply look for evidence supporting or disproving what you have been told/asked about.

Importance of MUET essay

You will be required to take the MUET test if you are planning on pursuing your university degree at local public university.

However, note that this requirement is not compulsory for those who wish to pursue their education outside of these institutions and choose instead to study at private schools or international ones (MUET tests are only necessary when applying for scholarships).

Remember also, that different universities may have different English proficiency requirements so make sure you check what they need before sending off an application.

The grading system for MUET

When students get their MUET result, they’ll be able to see the mark for each paper and then an overall score. Band 1 is when the student will have to take two extra English courses during holiday time; a Band 3 or 4 means one course more than this. If you’re in bands 5 or 6- excellent! You don’t need any additional lessons over the summer holidays whatsoever.

MUET Essay writing Band 6- Very good user (Aggregated score: 260-300)

The speaker demonstrates a strong command of the language, and their fluency is unparalleled. They are highly expressive in everything they say, accurate with words that express both nuance and precision when needed most. The person’s understanding of context should not be questioned – it appears as if this individual functions flawlessly when interacting verbally or written textually via various languages.

MUET Essay writing Band 5- Good user (Aggregated score: 220-259)

MUET my way...

Sunday, november 13, 2011, muet writing 800/4 question 2 sample answers for 350 word academic essay, 116 comments:.

i realised that you used lots of phrases in the essays. can you recommend phrases that can be used in any type of essay?

Is that compulsory to have 3 ideas for the academic writing? will they penalise us if we only have 2 or more than 3 ideas? thnx

its up to you..but be aware of word limitation

not compulsory.. standard answer.. u can write more ... or less.. depends on how you addressed the issue, if it is mature and critial or not with good grammar and vocab.

Can we use short forms in our essay? For example: 1. pc - personal computer 2. sms - short message service My teacher said it is prohibited to use short forms unless we write it in full and show the abbreviation in a bracket next to it.

Abbreviations is not suitable for formal writing.

i wouldnt say that it is prohibited. maybe not encouraged but definitely not prohibited esp for very common abbreviations. anyway, if you are worried then use only the long versions.

hi, for the argumentative essay, can we write a new point for the counter argument part? it's not related to my ideas that is against the topic of smoking take this for example: i'm against the topic of smoking. my points are 1. harms passive smokers 2. diff to quit smoking 3. burns our money counter argument an opponent claims smoking is not bad for health eg. his father can live into the old age. thanks for answering :)

if you introduce a counter argument you need to refute it with one more solid point to ensure that your stand is still strong. counter arguments are very good in showing critical thinking. :P

Finally I found the best blog to make my english better :)) I'm not good in english but I will try my best

helo mdm audrey, i would 2 ask about this type essay if we stand to partially agree with statement in question(argumentative essay) How to do explanation on body paragraph?give some techniques/tips to writing this type essay if i stand partially agree with the statement tqvm :)

i not understnd wht meant by counter argument?? for madam msg above if you introduce a counter argument you need to refute it with one more solid point to ensure that your stand is still strong. counter arguments are very good in showing critical thinking. :P i still not understand ye, can u please clearly clarify what i meant what mdn said as above?/ tqvm :)

in terms of counter arguing...do we need to write it in paragraph after the three main points or ??? need guidelines on how to write it please??thanks.

Hi, Mdm Audrey. I do have a prob tht make me feel vexed.I very poor in my English language, how if I dun understand the meaning of essay question? It will mess me up.

The question"ICT is the cause of today's social ills.what is your opinion?"

Can anybody suggest me MUET BOOKS that complete with reading, writing, speaking n listening questions? I will go to Popular Books and MPH to find the book. Please, I'm so afraid, next month speaking test. :'(

we are in the same boat.. when is your muet speaking test?

madam audrey, for the writing part, is it better to put in as many points as we could or to make sure that our essays are errors free?

This comment has been removed by the author.

Go back to the top of the page

MUET test scoring is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Since 2021, the test is scored using nine bands, changing from the previous six to align with CEFR. If you’re not familiar with how the CEFR ratings work and how MUET is marked, you can refer to the table or watch the video below.

Band 5.0 & 5+  (score of 294 -360)  CEFR C1 & C1+ :  Proficient

• Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning
• Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions
• Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes.
• Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.

Band 4.0 & 4.5  (score of 211 - 293)  CEFR B2 :  Independent

• Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation.
• Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party.

• Can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar, or of personal interest.

Band 1.0, 2.0 & 2.5  (score of 1 - 122)  CEFR A2 :  Basic

• Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.
• Can describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.

The MUET writing test consists of two tasks. The first is what is known as the MUET letter of email writing task. The second is the MUET extended English essay. Let’s begin by looking at task one.

Task one: MUET letter / email

For task one, you need to reply to an email or letter that is given to you. You will need to write a suitable response. This task is marked out of a maximum score of 30. It accounts for 33 per cent of your overall MUET writing test score. You shouldn’t spend more than 25 minutes on this task.

It’s important to note that the task requires about 100 words or more, so this is not a long written task. You will need to practice being brief and communicating your ideas in a shorter format. This is a skill that is tested for. For this task, the required English language proficiency is a CEFR level ranging between a minimum of A2 (elementary) to C1 (advanced).

Task two: MUET English essay

For task two of the MUET writing test, you will need to write an essay based on a statement or question provided. This statement is designed to encourage you to form an opinion or argument on a given topic. It’s all about getting to engage in a discussion on an issue. What is nice about the MUET essay task is that you can structure your response depending on the nature of the question. 

For example, you may need to produce an essay discussing the topic in general. Alternatively, you can create an essay that strongly argues a particular opinion or solution to a problem. These three types of essays are formally called:

Discursive essay 

Argumentative essay 

Problem-based essay

It’s essential to select the right language for the direction you take with the essay. The language you use should be more formal in this task as it needs to reflect your ability to write in a higher education setting. 

Your essay will need to be 250 words long or more and the CEFR level required is between B1 (intermediate) and C1 advanced. 

Don’t forget that the MUET essay task is marked out of 60, which is 66 per cent of your total test score. That’s why you’ll need to spend a bit longer on this task, approximately 50 minutes or so. Don’t rush the essay task, as this can impact your overall result. 

You’re probably wondering what type of question you're asked for the extended essay writing task. Luckily we have some examples:

MUET writing task 2 question example 1

You attended a talk by a new graduate talking about their career choice. The following comment was made by the guest speaker:

“A person’s career choice should be based on his or her interests.”

Write an essay of at least 250 words expressing your opinion of this statement. 

MUET writing task 2 question example 2

You attended a talk by a successful CEO of a company at a college Open Day. The following comment was made by the guest speaker:

“Money is the key to happiness.”

How much do you agree with this statement? Write an essay of at least 250 words . 

MUET writing task 2 question example 3

During a career day held in school, a guest speaker made this comment in his speech. 

“Employers only look for academic excellence when hiring.”

Write an essay of at least 250 words expressing your opinion on this view

To ace task two of the MUET writing test, you must know how to structure your essay well. There are some essential components to any good essay:

Introduction 

Context and topic information to get attention

Statement of opinion 

Argument justification

Main content 

Point one 

Introduction to point

Reason for your position

Examples and evidence to support the statement 

Point two 

Link from previous and introduction to point

Reason for your opinion or position 

Examples and evidence to support your statement 

Conclusion 

Point three

Connect to the previous point and introduce the final point

Reason for your position, opinion or argument 

Example to justify what you are saying 

State the main points of the discussion and topic 

Provide a summary of your position 

Justify this position and why you chose this angle

A good way to think of this structure is for each component to be a paragraph. For the MUET writing test task two, that would mean about 50 words or above for each paragraph. Try to think carefully about each point you want to make and why you agree or disagree. 

For example, when discussing whether money is the key to happiness. You may want to think about this issue on an individual, community and national level. You could compare elements such as health, experience and love, which money can’t buy. Perhaps you want to think about what personal happiness means.

MUET Sample Essay

Malaysian University English Test (MUET) became a widely implemented tool for language proficiency estimation in 1999, and it was initially conducted by Malaysian Examinations Council. In a nutshell, it is a method to estimate each candidate’s English language expertise and proficiency. One is offered to accomplish a writing task that is based on a provided topic. The distinctive feature of MUET essays lies in the complex nature of arguments, which naturally involve reasoning, impact, and result. MUET sample essay is created on the base of a debatable topic chosen randomly; and it represents a classical pattern of argumentative essay. The general subject of this paper is the benefits of vegetarianism for all people. It has been given that all population should gradually change their diet to eating meat-free food. The purpose is to comment on both views and to provide short examples.

On the one hand, the supporters of vegetarian diet state that reducing the consumption of meat makes people feel healthier, as they start eating more diversified and enriched diet. Also, they are more likely to avoid numerous cardiovascular diseases related to excessive amounts of slags and fats in their organisms. At the same time, total conversion to vegetarianism may ensure better global environmental conditions, as the food processing industry releases lots of toxic chemicals into the world. Besides, refusal to eat meat will definitely save the lives of numerous domesticated animals that are currently living in harsh conditions only to be killed in the end. Thus, the decision to convert to vegetarianism has many practical advantages and resolved the moral dilemma of killing live creatures for food.

On the other hand, some people argue that eating meat is an essential demand of any human organism that is deeply rooted in the early pre-human history and evolutionary process. Correspondingly, the ones who refuse to eat meat resist their nature and their organisms’ needs. Besides, vegetarianism can hardly change the earthy life for better, as the humanity is currently facing more serious and dangerous problems caused by the global climate change. It is more about conversion to alternative fuels than refusing meat. Thus, the supporters of the consumption of meat products consider vegetarianism as a way to show-off rather than an actually effective way to combat global humanity’s issues.

Therefore, vegetarianism is important within the global community as it draws mass attention to health problems and environmental concerns. At the same time, its total implementation is not a panacea for all global issues of the humanity. The society ought to implement a complex set of actions in order to improve the living conditions on Earth. In this context, accepting a vegetarian diet may accomplish the first step towards fulfilling the needs and solving the problems of the world’s population.

Discursive essay sample question.

• March 8, 2022

The term discursive essay could cause a certain level of anxiety for some. This happens when the person does not really know what a discursive essay really is.

However, I believe that all this worry should not be there really. This is because a discursive essay is really like any other essay that you would need to write during your time of study.

Basically, writing a discursive essay is not so hard if you know how. In this blog I’m going to show you a sample question of a discursive essay.

I believe that it is important for you to know what the question is going to be like first to be able to understand what is required of you in the question. You would need to familiarize yourself with the question beforehand.

To achieve this we will go through this question part by part.

The discursive essay

In a discursive essay you will need to present your opinion on the topic given and provide a balanced view of it. Here you will be able to showcase your ability to present ideas and flex your ability to discuss about a topic in a constructive way.

Writing a discursive essay would involve presenting your ideas, describing what you particularly observe that is happening around you and in our society in general with regards to the topic being discussed. You will be giving your opinion from both sides of the arguments and so this means that you would write about both sides of the view.

Time allocated for the question

The MUET writing paper consists of two tasks. They are task 1 and task 2. In task 2 you will have to write an extended writing essay.

The time that you should allocate for writing this essay in task 2 is 50 minutes. The duration of time for the entire MUET writing paper is 75 minutes.

So, you will spend the first 25 minutes of your time, answering task 1. Once you are done with task 1, you are going to straightaway move on to answering task 2.

I would like to advise you to use the first few minutes to prepare for task 2.

Preparing for task 2 involves brainstorming on the content points, thinking of the elaborations and listing examples for you to use in the writing of your essay. There is a lot for you to do here and it should all be done within the first 5 minutes of your time.

Yes it is going to be a little bit of a rush for sure. You would need to think very fast and in a more objective way. 

In your mind will be just the topic and thinking about the contents and the support for the contents . Write all that you are thiinking of on paper. 

You will do the selection of ideas that you will be using after that.

The situation given

In this essay, it says that you went for a talk. And in this talk, a fresh graduate gave a speech.

During the speech the fresh graduate made a comment which would be the focus of the discursive essay.

In this situation, the person giving the comment was a fresh graduate. It is interesting to see that the person making the comment was a fresh graduate and not someone else like a police officer or a lecturer for instance.

By using the fresh graduate as the person giving the comment it would bring with it some connotations.

This is because just by mentioning a fresh graduate, few things will come up to mind. Among others would be the challenges they would potentially face during a job hunt, being too choosy in looking for a job and also, the current unemployment rate.

So, when you are writing about the topic in your discursive essay later you would need to include and remember these issues mentioned above.

The topic of discussion

In the situation given the fresh graduate made a comment that a person’s career choice should be based on the person’s interest alone.

This comment would mean that when looking for a job the fresh graduates should focus on a particular career choice that they would prefer. This would disregard the other opportunities that may come their way should they not be the types of jobs that they would be interested in.

Let’s now focus on the topic being discussed. When a person would only go for and accept the job that they are interested in, it would result in two things.

The first is the person’s job opportunity distinctly would be narrowed down to a very limited few. The second would cause the person to have to wait perhaps much longer for the type of jobs that they are interested in to come by.

Certainly by only going for jobs that a person is interested in would seem quite idealistic. What’s with the current unemployment rate going on in our country.

The situation with the current pandemic that we are all facing certainly does not help the matter. With more people facing the danger of retrenchment and losing their source of income, only looking for a jobs based on the person’s interests is in fact rather naive.

These would be your opinion about why you feel a person should be open to accepting jobs that may not be of their interest. You feel that the person should practise prudence and accept the jobs that they have succeeded in getting. Perhaps later in the future, when the opportunity arrives for them to move on to another job that they actually love then they could always do just that.

On the other hand saying all that does not mean that you totally disregard the importance of having a career that you are interested in.

This is because you could see clearly from experience and from your observation around you that having the job of your interests would only lead to success.

This would include the success at work and success in life where you will find happiness and job satisfaction from the career that you love.

Consequently having a job that you love would certainly contribute to your overall quality of life.

The content points to use

So these are the items that you would need to think of and talk about in the content points when preparing for your essay.

Write these ideas down in a more constructive way. 

Perhaps you can have two points to support and another two points to oppose the topic.

From these four points you will choose only 3 content points that you will be working on and elaborate in your essay.

For a discursive essay you need to first of all mention and discuss content points to support the topic given. Use the two content points you already have for the first two contents- content 1 and content 2 to support the topic here. And in your final content which is content 3, you will switch your view and you will oppose to the topic given.

This is how you would write your content points for a discursive essay.

Fulfilling the task set in task 2

In this question, the task that you will need to fulfill is for you to write an essay expressing your opinion on the statement.

The task clearly states for you to provide your own point of view.

So voicing out the your point of view with regard to the statement made in a clear way is the task that you need to fulfil here in task 2. Your task in not to sway the reader to agree with your point of view. In fact you are simply writing in order to provide the two different arguments of the topic.

You would also need to discuss the current subject matter in an engaging and informative way.

To be engaging is to be able to keep the interest of the readers as they read your essay.

So again, remember that your purpose is not to influence the readers to agree with you but for them to see your point of view and to provoke the readers’ thoughts on that matter. By doing this also you are giving a mature treatment to your essay writing. This shows critical thinking on your part.

As you are writing the discursive essay, bear in mind that you need to write it in a more formal way.

Your writing would involve discussing ideas and evaluating the topic. And to make your arguments clear you would need to add in examples based on your observation around you.

Length of essay

For this essay, you would need to write more than 250 words. Writing a longer essay would provide an in depth review of the subject matter.
