Essay Writing in the UPSR English Exam - Paper 014

In Paper 014, one of the questions requires candidates to write a picture composition between 80-100 words. This is what the instructions for the question say:

"You may use the words given to help you."

 Students should use the given words in their writing as the words explain the plot or key events in the story. The difficulty many students face is to write their composition within the number of words specified. From experience, it is better to write between 90 and 100 words as your composition would then cover enough details to make the story more interesting. If your writing is about 80-90 words, it could make the story weaker in terms of the development of your plot. Here's an example from my e-learning course that you can find at my website: www.myenglishbooks.com :
