Based on the above analysis, I would like to make a forecast on what might come out in 2011's English PMR.
Paper 1: Section D - Life's Brief Candle
Paper 1: Section E - Of Bunga Telur and Bally Shoes
Paper 2: Section A - Article / Report / Recount / Speech / Talk / Letter
Paper 2: Section C - Could be anything from Plot, Theme, Moral Value, or even Characters. However, since characters had came out in 2009 & 2010, I doubt that it will be asked again this year.
Mind you, this is just a forecast. PMR candidates must do their revision in all aspects in order to succeed not only in English but also in other subjects.
All the best!

ReplyDeleteHi Zhi Hao, Thanks you for showing your interest in learning English. As mentioned in my previous post, other types of writing such as letter, speech, article & argumentative writing might come out tomorrow.
