Question 2

Read the following article. Then, answer questions (a) – (j).

The Rising Trend of Mobile Messaging Apps

Mobile messaging apps are fast becoming the most popular form of communication
among young people. Since mobile messaging apps don’t charge per message, parents do
not have to spend a fortune on their children’s phone bills. Some apps are even free of
charge. Teens also love using the fun extra features such as stickers, emoticons, and voice
chat.

The message are sent instantly, therefore users find it almost the same as ‘talking face to
face’. Aside from personal messages, users can also create group chats where one can
chat with multiple people within a group. Sharing photos and videos are also easier via
mobile messaging apps.

However, due to its attractive features and rising popularity parents are concerned. Many
complain that their children tend to spend more time chatting on mobile phones and less
time communicating in the real world. As a result, they become socially-awkward. The
kids are also easily distracted and find it difficult to focus on schoolwork.

In terms of language, most teens use abbreviations and slang for faster communication.
This leads to the growing ignorance of proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. Virus
can also easily spread via messaging, so an anti-virus needs to be installed.

News Break

Now why so loving, darling,

And why the sudden kiss?
You’d help me with some little jobs?
For goodness sake, what’s this?

Your face is clean for once, dear.

Your clothes without a crease.
You saved your luncheon money?
Will wonders never cease?

No dropping of your school books,

No shrieking, childish treble.
Today you are a lamb, love,
Where yesterday a rebel.

But surely you’re some stranger,

No rage of hullabaloo,
Come closer, let me look, dear,
Can this be REALLY you?

Now were you struck by lightning?

Or were you stunned at sport?
Ah… now I see the reason.
You’ve brought me you school report!

 Suggested answer:

“One of the major characters of the story that you like the most”
Sam
The character that I like the most in the story ‘Fair’s Fair is the girl, Sam. I think, among the
3 children, Sam is the most likeable and interesting character. She is very helpful. When Lee
is unable to go to the fair because of monetary problem, she immediately offers to help get
some money for him. She is also full of ideas. She suggests doing some jobs for their parents
to earn some money. Some of her suggestions include washing the car, dong the shopping and
walking the dog. She is also very playful. When they are washing her father’s car, she threw
water at both Lee and Raj. Therefore, I definitely like Sam the most .

Lee
