Introduction

    Commuting to work can be a serious business. There will be too many vehicles on the road at one time or the other. During peak hours, traffic jams are unavoidable. So, a lot of time is wasted on the road. To overcome this problem, it is wise to use public transportation instead of private vehicles. Public transport could carry more passengers. Apart from that, some public transport run on their own tracks. Not only that, the number of vehicles on the road will be reduced.

Stating Points and elaborating them (Lesson 15, 10 October, 2023)

 State a point, elaborate it. (Lesson 15 10 Oct 2022)

Title of essay:

Studying in local universities is better than studying abroad. 

Points:

1.      It is cheaper.

2.      Familiar culture and food.

3.      Frequent family visits.

State a point, elaborate it.

e.g.

a) Studying in local universities is cheaper. The cost to complete each degree course is mostly below RM20,000 except for medical and engineering courses. So, the cost of food and lodging could be easily covered. We have learned that the cost of studying in foreign universities may at least be RM100,000 for ordinary degree courses. For technical and medical courses, it is even much higher. Those who are not offered scholarships may have to decline the offer to study the various courses overseas. Apart from that, the cost of lodging, food and transportation may considerably affect the students’ monthly and annual budgets.
