Science— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct some grammar and word choice. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific reason with a linking word. Avoid repetition and keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. Science was my favorite subject in secondary school because it explains how things work. For example, I enjoyed biology practicals and chemistry experiments because they helped me understand concepts clearly.

Sugerencia: Use correct tense and sentence structure. Give a clear timeline and one specific supporting detail with linking words. Correct plural/singular and verb forms.

Ejemplo: I started learning basic science in primary school, and then in secondary school we studied topics in more depth. For instance, I especially enjoyed biology practicals, such as frog dissections, because they made the concepts more tangible.

Sugerencia: Begin with a direct topic sentence, fix articles and word forms, and limit to two or three supporting points with linking words. Be specific about what interests you.

Ejemplo: Biology is the most interesting subject to me because it explains how the human body works. For example, learning about anatomy and cellular processes helped me understand how organs and cells function together.

Sugerencia: Organize into a topic sentence and two clear supporting examples. Use correct verb tenses and linking phrases (e.g., “for example”, “also”). Be specific about your role and the outcome of the activities.

Ejemplo: I have done several practical and community projects related to science. For example, in secondary school I participated in frog dissections to study anatomy, and I also helped with a rural health-screening project where I applied biology knowledge and assisted with health consultations.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and one reason with a linking word. Use appropriate adjectives and avoid informal phrasing like “too dead”. Mention a preferred alternative concisely.

Ejemplo: I don't usually watch science TV programs because I find them too general and difficult to follow. Instead, I prefer watching short YouTube videos on specific topics that I want to learn more about.

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly (note examiner asked about Chinese people but student answered about Malaysians—correct the scope). Use correct nouns and plurals, and provide one clear reason and an example. Keep sentences concise.

Ejemplo: I think many Chinese people do visit science museums, especially families and school groups. Museums are popular because interactive exhibits make topics like technology and natural science more engaging and easier for children to understand.

× Yes, when I was in my secondary school, science is my favorite subject, which include the chemistry, biology, and also physics.

✓ Yes, when I was in secondary school, science was my favorite subject, which included chemistry, biology, and physics.

Multiple errors: tense mismatch (present 'is' should be past 'was') — Past tense issue (ID 5). Subject-verb agreement with 'which include' should be 'which included' to match plural list and past tense — Singular and plural/verb form combined (ID 1 and 5) but primarily past tense and agreement. Also articles unnecessary before subject names. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout when referring to past schooling and use 'included' for the list of subjects.

× Because science to me is all about fracture and as long as we understand the concept, it's very easy for us to master the topic.

✓ To me, science is all about structure, and as long as we understand the concepts, it is very easy for us to master the topics.

Word choice and number agreement: 'fracture' is incorrect — likely meant 'structure' or 'principles' (not listed but relates to vocabulary). 'Concept' should be plural 'concepts' and 'topic' plural 'topics' to agree with general reference — Present tense issue (ID 6) as sentence is describing a general truth but contained inconsistent singular/plural forms (ID 1). Also contract 'it's' expanded to 'it is' for clarity. Suggestion: use correct noun ('structure' or 'principles') and ensure plural forms when speaking generally.

× I first learned about science in primary school where we cover basic science concept.

✓ I first learned about science in primary school, where we covered basic science concepts.

Tense inconsistency: 'learned' is past so 'cover' should be past 'covered' — Past tense issue (ID 5). Also 'concept' should be plural 'concepts' to match general reference — Singular and plural issue (ID 1). Suggestion: keep verbs in past when narrating past events and use plural for general pluralizable nouns.

× When I went to the secondary school, we study more in depth and I especially enjoying the practical experiments.

✓ When I went to secondary school, we studied more in depth, and I especially enjoyed the practical experiments.

Tense errors: 'study' and 'enjoying' conflict with past narrative 'When I went' and should be past forms 'studied' and 'enjoyed' — Past tense issue (ID 5) and verb form error (ID 8/9). Suggestion: maintain past tense and use past participle or simple past as appropriate.

× Especially for biology because I remember we do a dissections of the frogs.

✓ Especially for biology, because I remember we did dissections of frogs.

Verb tense and article/plural problems: 'do a dissections' mixes present 'do' with plural 'dissections' and incorrect article 'a' — should be past 'did' and plural 'dissections' or 'a dissection' — Past tense issue (ID 5) and singular/plural issue (ID 1). Also omit 'the' before 'frogs' unless specific frogs are meant. Suggestion: use 'did dissections of frogs' or 'did a dissection of a frog' depending on meaning.

× To me, biology's most interesting subject because I get to learn more about the human body.

✓ To me, biology is the most interesting subject because I get to learn more about the human body.

Missing linking verb and article: 'biology's most interesting subject' is incorrect contraction/structure; need 'biology is the most interesting subject' — Sentence structure error (ID 26) and article/definite article issue (ID 22/17). Suggestion: include 'is the' to form a complete sentence and use 'the most' for superlative.

× So as we learn about our own body process, I found it's very easy to understand, for example, like the anatomy and also the Physiology in our body, like we learn about how the cell worked.

✓ So, as we learned about our body's processes, I found them easy to understand, for example anatomy and physiology, such as how cells work.

Mixed tenses and form errors: original mixes present and past ('learn' with 'found') — Past tense issue (ID 5). 'Body process' should be plural 'body's processes'; 'the Physiology' capitalization unnecessary; 'how the cell worked' should be present simple 'how cells work' when describing general functions — Present tense issue (ID 6) for general truths. Suggestion: keep past tense when describing learning experiences and use present simple for general scientific facts; correct plural possessive 'body's processes'.

× So the interesting thing that I have done is that first the practical experiment where we dissect the frog in the secondary school, this allow us to understand more deeply about the anatomy.

✓ One interesting thing I did was the practical experiment where we dissected a frog in secondary school; this allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of anatomy.

Poor sentence structure and tense errors: use of present perfect 'have done' mixed with past narration, and run-on/comma splice — Sentence structure error (ID 26) and Past tense issue (ID 5). 'dissect' should be past 'dissected'; 'allow' should be past 'allowed'. Also 'more deeply about the anatomy' improved to 'gain a deeper understanding of anatomy'. Suggestion: split into clearer clauses, maintain past tense, and use appropriate verbs.

× And other than that I also done the health screening project in the rural areas.

✓ Besides that, I also did a health screening project in rural areas.

Incorrect verb form 'done' used without auxiliary — should be simple past 'did' — Verb past participle misuse (ID 9) and sentence structure. Suggestion: use 'did' for simple past; remove unnecessary articles and pluralize appropriately.

× So which allow us to utilise the knowledge we learn in biology and also have the consultations with.

✓ This allowed us to use the knowledge we learned in biology and to hold consultations with local people.

Preposition and sentence fragment: 'which allow' should be 'this allowed' to refer back and match past tense (Past tense issue ID 5). 'utilise' spelling ok but 'learn' should be past 'learned'. 'have the consultations with' is incomplete and misses the preposition object — Incorrect use of prepositions and sentence structure (ID 11 and 26). Suggestion: specify whom consultations were with and use proper verb forms.

× Well, although I'm really interested in science but I don't really like to watch the science TV program because there are too dead for me to understand.

✓ Well, although I'm really interested in science, I don't really like to watch science TV programs because they are too dull for me to understand.

Conjunction redundancy ('although' with 'but' is incorrect) — Incorrect conjunction use (ID 16). 'program' should be plural 'programs' for general reference — Singular/plural issue (ID 1). 'too dead' is wrong collocation; use 'too dull' or 'dry' — word choice. Also replace 'there are' with 'they are' to refer to programs — Incorrect pronoun/reference (ID 12). Suggestion: remove 'but' after 'although', use plural, and choose correct adjective.

× So I will usually watch the YouTube video instead to just select it on some certain topic that I want to know more about.

✓ So I usually watch YouTube videos instead, selecting videos on specific topics I want to learn more about.

Awkward structure and article use: 'the YouTube video' should be plural general 'YouTube videos' and 'select it on some certain topic' is ungrammatical — Sentence structure error (ID 26) and article errors (ID 22). Suggestion: use plural, reorder to gerund 'selecting' and 'specific topics'.

× Generally speaking, yes, many Malaysians like to visit the science mission, especially the family member with the children and student on the school trip.

✓ Generally speaking, yes, many Malaysians like to visit science museums, especially family members with children and students on school trips.

Word choice and number agreement: 'science mission' should be 'science museums' — likely mispronunciation; 'family member' should be plural 'family members'; 'student' plural 'students'; article 'the' unnecessary — Singular and plural issue (ID 1) and word choice. Suggestion: use correct noun 'museum' and pluralize groups when speaking generally.

× These species are really popular because museum offer a lot of interactive exhibit that makes learning about science more easy.

✓ These places are really popular because museums offer a lot of interactive exhibits that make learning about science easier.

Incorrect word choice 'species' should be 'places' or 'museums' — Incorrect use of adjectives or nouns (ID 13). Number agreement: 'museum offer' should be 'museums offer'; 'exhibit' plural 'exhibits'; 'makes' should be 'make' to agree, and 'more easy' should be 'easier' — Comparative/superlative/adverb placement issues (IDs 25/20). Suggestion: use correct nouns and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct adjective/adverb forms.

× For example, learning about technology or natural science more engaging.

✓ For example, learning about technology or natural science is more engaging.

Missing verb 'is' — Sentence without a verb (ID 23) and incorrect sentence structure (ID 26). Suggestion: include the linking verb 'is' to complete the comparative statement.
