• Point - Start off by making a clear point about the subject

you’re speaking about

• Example - Give a few examples to illustrate
• Point - Finish with some concluding remarks to wrap up
your story
 See this example
• For me, Real wealth can be measured by how I enjoy
my life. Money and possession are also wealth, but
not the utmost things.
• I will feel rich and grateful when I enjoy my life with
lots of love and time. Drinking tea with family in the
backyard is a happy moment and I enjoy it. In
contrast, becoming billionaire and living glamorously
but having no family are nothing.
• In my perspective, real wealth is true peace of mind.

 See this example
• Cannot be neglected that knowledge and skills
in digital era can be accessed through many
ways and media. People/students also can
learn with practical activities. Moreover, many
companies offers talent pool program using
training for specific purpose. Without going to
Uni, students can get the job based on their
skill specialization.
• However, to improve their careers,
• Therefore, to encounter this case, I
recommend the government and institutions
provide comprehensive practical skills, aside
from theory. Students can learn and improved
well in University.
