Once, there was a poor old man who had very little food to eat. One day, a little
girl passed by with a beautiful goose. (0) “Can you look after my goose?” the
little girl asked the old man. “I am poor,” replied the old man. He had no idea
how to look after the goose. The little girl said, “If you look after this goose, she
will give you an egg every morning”. The old man thought for a while. “I’ll look
after your goose”, he said to the little girl. The girl smiled. She replied, “Take care
of the goose, and she will take care of you.” Then, she walked away. The old
KOD KURSUS : TSL1024 NO. AG: 2020212310057
man gave the goose some grains to eat. The next morning, he was awakened
by the sound of the goose. What a surprise! He saw a golden egg. The old man
knew he could be rich if he sold that golden egg. He patiently waited until the
next day. The goose gave him another golden egg. Without wasting any time, he
immediately went to the nearest goldsmith in the town. When the goldsmith
greeted him, the old man anxiously told him his intention. The goldsmith asked the
man, “Why didn’t you sell these golden eggs to me yesterday?” The old man was
excited when he knew the goldsmith was interested to buy his golden eggs. So,
he quickly sold it off to the goldsmith. He was confident that he would get a lot of
money by selling a golden egg everyday. The old man said, “I will come again
tomorrow”. A year later, the old man became the richest man in the town.

Over the last few months, the world we are living in has changed rapidly. 1
When (0) it first arrived, Covid-19 did not create much alarm. Nevertheless, 2
the situation soon changed. Covid-19 that hit the entire planet caused 3
extensive financial damage and made lives unbearable. Thousands of 4
people lost their fixed income while many others struggled to work from 5
home. Adjusting to our new normal can be stressful. In order to remain 6
physically and mentally fit, you need to follow a few ways. For instance, if 7

you can go outside, go for a walk, a jog, a backyard stretch, or anything that 8
can get you moving around in sunshine and fresh air. Some countries 9
practice a total lockdown for several weeks. If you are homebound, you can 10
try a new online tabata or design your favourite exercise routine. Keep doing 11
the former or latter for just 15 minutes twice a day. Your consistent routine 12
can make a world of difference in what you feel. 13
SECTION B
(40 marks)
1. Imagine you received a RM20,000 fund to spend on English language activities for the
underprivileged children in your community. Develop a suitable programme for them.
Justify the activities planned for the programme in about 800 words.
As the president of the English Club in my school, for starter, I will deploy a program that
focuses on children and young teenager who live in the orphanage in my community.
This program will provide a variety of extra-curricular activities and educational
opportunities for them based on my club. The selection of participants is based on
children who have serious problems in English such as not being able to speak well or in
terms of writing. The program is also open to children who show interest and volunteer to
participate in the program. The activities provided in this program are designated to give
deeper exposure to English and help increase children's confidence in speaking English
fluently. The activities involved are teamwork activity, outdoor recreational event,
workshop and others.
For the first activity, the group discussion is to trigger a harmonious discussion that
combines children and adolescents of all ages. They will be given various types of tools
that require them to unite in order to solve a given problem. For instance, they will be
given questions about grammar errors and they will need to discuss with each other to
solve the problem. This kind of activity requires collaborative skills and high-level
thinking. This activity offers a fun-filled, relaxed environment where they can practise
using new words and are free to express themselves Younger children can ask for help
and guidance from older children while the older one can distribute tasks for younger
children.The facilitators involved can also assist the children in carrying out this activity.
This shows that if the children work together to solve a problem, then it can be solved
KOD KURSUS : TSL1024 NO. AG: 2020212310057
faster and easier. Therefore, it will foster a spirit of cooperation between them and will
strengthen their relationship with each other.
The second activity, which is outdoor recreational activities, involves physical ability
because it is done outside the building area. Like the first activity, this activity has also
provided facilities and tools, but the difference is that these tools are based on sports
equipment. For example, the tools provided are football, racket, ping pong ball, hockey
stick and others. It can be said that this activity is like a mini tele match that can definitely
attract the attention of children who like to play. However, this activity is not a normal
sports activity because it also involves the English language element in it. Firstly, the
children will
be divided into groups of different ages and genders through the draw done at the
beginning of this activity. Then each group has to go through various obstacles for each
level which requires them to solve problems and even answer questions in English. This
activity is very interesting because it involves a lot of movement and also require them to
apply the tools provided for each obstacle. One of the interesting obstacles found in this
is charade where
one of the group members has to act out a character or object displayed on a flashcard
to a teammate to guess. Children will definitely love this activity because it involves visual
element and acting. More interestingly, we will also provide children's favorite gifts such
as food hampers for the winners of this event. Participating in recreational activities is an
effective way to develop language and communication skills. It also helps your children to
be more socially confident and may be a way to forge friendships. Thus, it is certain that
this activity will be liked by the children and at the same time improve their physical
abilities.
The next activity is a workshop that will be handled by a well-known speaker that we will
invite from abroad. At the beginning of this activity, the speaker will give a short briefing
for the child to listen carefully. Then the speaker will divide the children into small groups
and will continue to do some interesting games with them. The speaker will show a
demonstration by drawing an interesting object next then ask the child to follow the
drawing. Of course, the demonstrations shown are based on English subjects. We will
KOD KURSUS : TSL1024 NO. AG: 2020212310057
also provide interesting game play along with the speaker. For instance, word games,
riddles and jokes. These games can expand the children’s vocabulary and also help
foster good humour and creativity in children. This also encourages wordplay and
imagination. We can read through kid-friendly joke books and take turns telling witty
stories. Riddles are fun ways to use words and paint pictures of scenes or situations.
Read or say riddles aloud to each other and explain to the children the different
definitions of a single word such as school as in a place of learning or school as in a
group of fish to help them understand the riddle better.
In conclusion, I hope this program will provide many benefits to the children and will be
able to be implemented in good and smooth conditions. I also hope that all parties
involved will also cooperate to make this program a success.
