ways to improve our English Language

(On/ In/ At) May this year, a
Malaysian who had left his family and
country for the United States (US) to
continue his (study/ studying/ studies) finally
returned, ending his family’s 35-year
(waiting/ waits/ wait). Upon (him/ his) arrival
at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport
(KLIA), Zaidi Mohd Zaid, 54, of Kubang
Rawa, Salor, Kota Bharu, Kelantan was
(greeted/ greeting) by more than a dozen
family (members/ member) and relatives. “I
cried. We all cried, holding one another. My
youngest brother who (were/ was/ is/ are)
only two years old when I (leave/ leaving/
left), now (had/ have/ has) five kids,” he said
in a voice heavy (with/ on) emotion.
He (meets/ meeting/ met) his 79-
year-old mother for the first time upon
returning to his village (at/ in) Kelantan. Zaidi
said he had sought her forgiveness as she
(welcomed/ welcomes) him back
wholeheartedly. However, what was it that
(keep/ keeps/ kept) Zaidi apart from his
family all these years? In (a/ an) exclusive
interview with Bernama, Zaidi said it all
(started/ starting/ starts) when he (makes/
made) the decision to drop (on/ out/ over) of
university. The guilt (to/ for/ in) having let
down his parents was too much to bear and
prompted him to stop communicating (on/
with/ for) them. He was determined to only
(returns/ return/ returning) after making it big
in the US.
A quest to (earn/ earning) extra
money (when/ since/ during) his
undergraduate years led Zaidi to take up a
part-time job as a waiter in a pizza restaurant
in Sacramento. By the third year of his
studies, he made the decision to drop (on/
out/ over) of university to work full-time (by/
without) telling his family.
Two years (before/ later/ sooner), he
decided that it was time to tell his parents
about his situation and wrote home. The
news shocked them. “My mom wrote back
(said/ says/ saying) that I had really (broken/
break) my parents’ heart and that I had
crushed their dreams,” he said, adding that
(her/ him/ his) family had high (hopes/
wishes/ dreams) of seeing him graduate with
flying colours and eventually having a
(successfully/ successful) career. Zaidi,
(whose/ which/ who) was 21 then, decided
he could not (goes/ go/ went/ going) home
empty-handed. He was determined to make
his fortune before even thinking of returning
(from/ to/ in) Malaysia.
In time he realized that things were
not (gone/ went/ going) as expected. He was
homesick, but the shame (or/ and/ but)
frustration caused him to further alienate his
family. (On/ In/ At) the summer of 1991,
(him/ his/ he) decided to try his luck
(somewhere/ elsewhere). Zaidi ended up in
Reno City with the hope of making a fresh
start. However, six months on, he was still
unable to land a proper job.
In Reno, it (takes/ took) almost seven
years to land a job that (provides/ provided)
him with a stable income. Eventually he
(were/ was) able to earn enough to buy a
van (for/ to/ with) start his own business.
“Reno is a world-famous entertainment city.
Tourists (came/ come) all year round. I saw
an opportunity to start a tour service,” he
said. Zaidi started a service (calling/ called)
the "High Desert Tour" where he covered
tourist hotspots (along/ around/ between)
the city. (Her/ His) business expanded
through referrals from tourist agencies and
recommendations (with/ from/ for) his
clients.
(At/ In/ On) 2018, Zaidi received a text
(messages/ message) from his cousin, who
informed (her/ him/ his) of the shocking news
of his father’s passing (at/ in/ on) 2015 (or/
but/ and) persuaded him to return as his
ageing mother desperately (want/ wants/
wanted) to see him again. The text message
was the wake-up call Zaidi needed. Zaidi
then realized it was time (for/ to/ at) go
home.
Practice 5
My name is Khairul and I am 27 years
old. I work as an engineer for one of the
biggest (company/ companies) in Kuala
Lumpur. I really love my life right now. I have
a proper job, many friends, and I can take
care of the people that I really love the most.
As the saying said, Rome was not built in a
day. There is (no/ none) easy way (with/ for/
to) me to be as (successfully/ successful) as
I (was/ am) today. I need to work really
(hardly/ hard/ harder) to be what I am today.
There was a story about me and the person
who had (changing/ change/ changed) my
(live/ life) forever.
I was one of the (good/ better/ best)
students in my school. Teachers always told
me that I could (gets/ get/ got) straight As in
SPM examination. However, there was a
subject that I still could not (got/ get) A. The
subject was English. I was nervous as I only
had another 2 months (to/ for) my SPM
examination. For me, the subject was really
difficult. I felt envy (where/ which/ when) I
looked at Sarah’s marks for English.
Although (she/ he) was not good at other
subjects, (she/ he/ her) was really good at
English. For (his/ her/ him), to learn English
is just like a piece of cake. I then became
lazy (but/ and/ or) gave up on this subject. I
was always sleeping and not paying any
attention (since/ during/ along) the lesson.
My English teacher, Mr. Mark always got
mad at me because of (his/ your/ my)
attitude. He always told me to study hard
because (she/ he/ her/ his) believed that I
could get flying colours in my SPM
examination. He also told me that (with/
without/ within) good English skills, I could
not excel in my life (but/ or/ and) I would not
be able to achieve my ambition to be an
engineer if my English is poor. (Whenever/
Wherever) he started nagging at me, I
switched (on/ off) my mind, and acted like
nobody was there in front of me.
A week later, I was having my trial
examination. As usual, I felt nervous when
(answering/ answered/ answers) English
paper. There were (more/ many) blank
spaces that I left on the answer sheet and
my essay was too short. At that time, I was
really scared that I was going to (gets/ get/
got) really (worse/ bad) result in this
examination. When the result was out, all my
friends scored A for their English and I was
the only (students/ student) in my class who
did not get A. To make it worst, I only
managed to get D. I (am/ was/ were) really
ashamed. I was the school top student, (and/
or/ but) I scored badly in this subject
compared to my (others/ other) friends. Mr.
Mark was really mad at me. He told me that
if I did not (changed/ change/ changing) my
attitude, I would do badly in my SPM
examination.
Later that night as I was alone on my
bed, I was thinking of (where/ which/ what)
Mr. Mark had told (I/ me/ you). I (realized/
realize) that everything he said was true and
I need to change (his/ my) attitude. I need to
work (hardest/ harder) and I need to ask Mr.
Mark to help (I/ me) in my English. The next
day, I went to (see/ saw/ sees) Mr. Mark and
told him that I did regret of my actions. Then,
he told me that he (were/ was) so glad upon
hearing that. (Started/ Starting/ Starts) from
that moment, I was his favourite (student/
students) and he always (asking/ asked) me
to see him after school to (taught/ teach/
teaches) me privately. I was so happy to
have such a nice teacher like (his/ him/ her).
English teacher, who had been (worked/ 9 shy
working) so hard to teach me. If it is not
because of (he/ him/ his/ her), my (live/ life) 10 angry
is not as good as what I have today.

someone (called/ calls/ was calling) my 4 ugly

He (congratulated/ congratulations) me for 17 brave
