SUMMARY WRITING PRACTICE – ANSWER KEY

1.. Write a summary on how to raise the standard of English in our country
 
Dear Editor,

I am concerned about the standard of English in our country. Even with the implementation of the
teaching of Math and Science in English, I do not see any difference in the English used,
especially by our young. I would like to suggest a few steps to raise the standard of English in
Malaysia.

What needs to be done, first and foremost, is to make it compulsory for students to pass the
English paper in all government examinations. Then only will people take the language seriously.
In schools too, the number of English periods per week should be increased. Ideally, students
should have English lessons every day. If we are short of English teachers, perhaps we should
consider hiring native speakers to teach the subject. I am sure that there are many wives of
expatriates here who are capable of teaching the subject. Besides that, students must be
encouraged to make reading a part of their everyday life. Besides reading English books, they can
also watch good English programs on television.

I think more needs to be done to bring English back to its former status.

activities that your university offers. Nonetheless, make sure you are able to manage your social
life and your studies. Prioritize on what's most important and make sure you are able to balance
