Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.
Farid was blessed with a powerful and melodic

singing voice ever since he was born. His family was very
proud of his talent and often asked him to perform for
them.
One day, Farid joined a national singing competition.

He sang a popular ballad beautifully and won the
competition. HIs friends and family congratulated him
heartily. Feeling proud of his achievement, Farid started to
change his behaviour.
He believed that he was going to be a famous singer

someday. So, he refused to perform for his friends and
family. He felt that singing at small events was not suitable
for someone with talent like him. His friends started to
leave him alone as they didn‟t like his arrogance.
Without a care , Farid decided to audition with a big

record company. He practised singing day and night.
However, two days before the audition, he had a sore
throat. It quickly developed into a serious condition when
he stubbornly continued practising.
As a result, Farid had to be hospitalised for vocal

inflammation. He temporarily lost his voice and also lost his
chance to audition. More pathetically, he also lost his
friends as none of them felt sorry for him despite being
hospitalised.

Read the speech below and answer the questions that follow.
Good morning to the headmaster, teachers and friends.
My name is Sharifah. I would like to tell you what should we do to save

the sea creatures. There are many ways that you can do to help look after
the seas and the creatures that live in them.
First, you should use less plastic products. Plastics which end up in
the sea can harm marine habitat. Thousand of marine animals get tangled in
plastic debris and die. You can help these marine creatures by using less
plastics yourself. Carry reusable water bottles or use non- disposable food
containers. When you go shopping, bring your own cloth shopping bags.
Another way to help save the seas and the creatures that live in them
is to be responsible when you go to the beach with your family and friends.
Clean up after enjoying your picnic. Don‟t remove coral or disturb any sea life
you see. If you see rubbish on the beach, help to clean it up.
Thank you for listening.
Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ in the space provided.
1. Plastic products that end up in the sea can

harm the lives of the turtle only.

2. We can bring home the coral when we go

to the beach.

Read the news report below and answer the questions that follow.
Kluang, Saturday –A motorist miraculously escaped death in an accident yesterday. It
was just after a heavy rain and the road was wet. Lutfi Iman, 28, was driving home from
work after a long day at his office. As he was tired and sleepy, he did not realise that the
traffic lights had changed to red. He was in a hurry to get home and continued moving.
The headlights of oncoming car blinded him. Feeling confused, he swerved and skidded
on the slippery road. He rammed into a car coming from the left.
According to eye-witnesses, Lutfi was still in a daze when he was helped out of
the car. He sustained only slight head injuries. However, the left side of his car was total
wreck. He later said that his seat belt had prevented him from crashing through the
windscreen. He was lucky to have sustained only light injuries. The drivers of the cars
were not hurt.
Police mind drivers not to drive when they feel sleepy. When they are not alert,
they endanger the lives of other people and themselves. Drivers must always be alert at
all times when they are on the road. They must be extra careful especially after a rain as
the road will be wet and slippery. Drivers must always fasten their seat belts whenever
they are in the car.
Not everyone will be as lucky as Lutfi Iman. Prevention is always better than cure.

yes. They felt released when the old woman was not angry. Furthermore , she
invited them to rest in her house. Later, the children followed her in.
The next day, the old woman put Hansel and Gretel in a huge cage.
She asked Gretel to do the house chores. Only then did the children realise
that she was a witch.
Every day, the wicked witch fed Hansel with lots of food. She wanted to
make him fat so that she could eat him. She always asked Hansel to stick out

Plant Life Cycles
Every living thing goes through changes. Living things grow through different
stages. Then, they reach the end of their life cycles and die. There are many kinds of
plants. Each kind has its own life cycle.
Many plants start their life cycles as a seed. The seed needs certain things or
it will not grow into a plant. Sometimes seeds wait in the ground until they can get
the things they need. They wait for warmth from the sun. They wait for water. When
they have what they need, they start to grow. A tiny little sprout will push out of each
seed. The sprouts stretch up until they poke through the dirt and into the air.
The plants continue to grow when they get sunshine and water. The stems
grow taller and leaves unfold. More leaves and stems grow on the main stems. The
adult plants grow flowers. The flowers of many plants make fruit. The fruit has seeds
inside it so more new plants can grow.
New plants look like their parent plants. Seeds from a parent plant will grow into
the same kind of plant as the parent. When a seed begins to grow, it is the beginning
of another plant life cycle.

Chess is called the game of kings. It

has been around for a long time.
People have been playing it for over
500 years. Chess is based on an even
older game from India. The chess we
play today is from Europe.
Chess is a two-player game. One

player uses the white pieces. The other
uses the
black pieces. Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is called the
king. Each player has one. The players take turns moving their pieces. If a
player lands on a piece, he or she takes it. The game ends when a player
loses his or her king. There are a few more rules, but those are the basics.
Some people think that chess is more than a game. They think that it makes
the mind stronger. Good chess players use their brains. They take their time.
They think about what will happen next. These skills are useful in life and in
chess. Chess is kind of like a work out for the mind.
You don't always have lots of time to think when playing chess. There is a type
of chess with short time limits. It's called blitz chess. In blitz chess, each player
gets ten minutes to use for the whole game. Your clock runs during your turn.
You hit the time clock after your move. This stops your clock. It also starts the
other player's clock. If you run out of time, you lose. Games of blitz chess are
fast-paced.
Chess is not just for people. Computers have been playing chess since the
1970s. At first they did not play well. They made mistakes. As time went on
they grew stronger. In 1997, a computer beat the best player in the world for
the first time. It was a computer called Deep Blue. Deep Blue was big. It took
up a whole room. By 2006 a cell phone could beat the best players in the
world. Chess sure has come a long way. Don't you think so?

1. What is the author's purpose in writing the second paragraph?
To persuade people to play chess.

In a land, far away, there lived a farmer. He reared a cow, a goat and a
dog. The cow was very friendly with everyone. Even the squirrel on the tree
and the parrot came to chat with her. However, one animal that she did not
consider a friend was the crow. The crow cawed noisily from morning till
evening. The cow did not like the noise at all.
One morning, when the cow woke up, she could not open her eyes.
Something was stuck in her eyes. After a while, she managed to open her
eyes but her vision was blurred.
The cow told the goat about it. The cow said, “ Why don‟t you lick my
eyes? It might help.” “Oh no, my tongue will get infected!” cried the goat
and it went away..
Then, the cow went to seek help from the dog. “ Stop disturbing me. I
didn‟t sleep well last night. Go away!” said the dog sleepily. Later on, when
the parrot flew into the shed, the cow said, “Something has got into my eyes.
I feel very uncomfortable. Can you use your beak to peck it out?” “No!”
answered the parrot. “It‟ll damage my beak.” Then, she flew away.
The cow was all alone. She felt very sad. When she was in trouble, all
those she considered her friends had refused to help. Just then the crow
appeared. He was cawing as loud as ever. He saw the sad cow and went to
her. “You look very sad. What happened?”
With tears in her eyes, the cow told the crow what happened. After
hearing the story, the crow immediately asked the cow to open her eyes
wide. The crow looked into the cow‟s eyes. After a while, he said, “There‟s a
tiny bit of grass in your eyes. Allow me to take it out. Hold still.”
The crow gently pulled the grass out from the cow‟s eyes. The cow‟s eyes
were not in pain anymore and she could see clearly again. She thanked the
crow. She also apologized to the crow for not treating him well all this while.

We‟ve never been to the east-coast, have we?

Reena : Let‟s go by train. I‟ve never sat in a train before.
Mrs Ramesh : But , the journey‟s going to be very long and tiring. It‟ll take

don‟t like the idea.
Mr Ramesh : Why don‟t we take the aeroplane then? We should be in
Kota Bharu in less than one hour. But, the fare is the most
expensive.
Reena : Let‟s take the bus, Dad. A friend in school told me that the
buses nowadays are very comfortable and spacious. Dad,
how long does it take to go to Kota Bharu by bus?
Mr Ramesh : I think it‟s about eight hours. I haven‟t taken a bus for a long

Reena : Please say yes, Mum. We‟ll also be able to enjoy the scenery
of the countryside and the towns we pass by.
Mrs Ramesh : Let me think about it.
Reena : Aw, Mum………
Mr Ramesh : It‟s cheaper to travel by bus than to travel by air. That means
you‟ll have more money to spend on shopping, Mum!

One day, a little rabbit was walking in the jungle. Suddenly,

a large eagle swooped down and caught the poor rabbit with its
sharp claws. “Help! Help,” begged the rabbit as it flew high in the
sky with the eagle. “If you let me go, I promise to help you if you
ever need my help”, continued rabbit.
The eagle was hungry but it was a kind animal. It felt sorry
for the rabbit. It thought to itself, “I am a beautiful and majestic
bird. However, if I cannot be kind, then I am not beautiful
anymore”. The eagle then dropped the rabbit on a tree branch.
The rabbit quickly scampered down the tree. “Thank you! Thank
you!” said the grateful rabbit to the eagle.
Several weeks later, the rabbit was walking in the jungle

again. Then, it heard a pitiful cry for help. The rabbit saw a huge
bird lying on the ground with an arrow in its wing. The rabbit ran
towards the eagle and realised that it was the same eagle that
had been kind to it. The rabbit bit into the arrow with its sharp
teeth. The arrow broke and the eagle could fly again. The eagle
was glad that it had not eaten the rabbit the other day. From
that day onwards, the eagle and the rabbit became good
friends.

HASLINDA’S DIARY ENTRIES
20 July
Today we are going to my uncle‟s farm. We are staying over the weekend. It should be
fun! It is a three hour journey to the farm. Father nearly hit a cow on the way there. Two
cows suddenly crossed the road and stopped in the middle. Father had to step on the
brakes quickly to avoid hitting them. The cars behind us started to honk as the cows did
not want to move!
We sat patiently and waited. The cows finally moved when a farmer came to chase
them away. Thank goodness! Or we should be stuck there forever.
21 July
It is our first day on the farm. I awoke to the sounds of cockerel crowing. After
breakfast, we followed our cousin, Danish to the cow shed. We were to help him milk cows.
It was not easy to do. After a few tries, I could get some milk from the cow. Some milk
got onto Fitri‟s face as he had squeezed too hard. The look on his face made us laugh. It was
hilarious!
Then we collected some eggs from the chicken coop. The chicken s were resting. I
woke up some of the chickens while collecting the eggs. One of the chicken tried to peck my
fingers. In my rush to avoid being pecked, I dropped some of the eggs.
22 July
We went to look at the cows and goats in the field. We were supposed to look after them. But
my brother left the field gate open and two goats ran out!
He started chasing the goats to get them back into the field. He ran all over the farm and
shouted at the goats. With my uncle‟s help, they managed to get the goats back. My brother
was so exhausted. He slept all the way home.
We had so much fun at the farm. What an adventure! We hope to visit the farm again.

Read the letter and answer the questions that follow.
Dear Khairul,
How are you and your family getting on? It has been already a fortnight since
we last met each other. Soon, the school holidays will be here again!. I have lots of
plans for the coming holidays.
I am surprised that you are always bored and sick during the school holidays as
you stated in your previous letter. Why is it so? I would like to suggest a number of
beneficial hobbies that you can carry out during the seven weeks‟ holidays. You will
be surprised at how wonderful and valuable these hobbies can be.
There are lots of hobbies that you can take up. For instance, board games like
chess and Monopoly. I know that you hate outdoor games. These board games are
perfect for you. Your siblings could join you in the game too. Chess is a game better
known as the battle of the minds. It makes you more alert, more observant and more
cautious.
I know you like cycling. Cycling in the evening at the park near your house is
safe. Moreover, the air there is fresh; and there is a lot of greenery and a man-made
lake too. It is the beautiful sight to behold!
What about reading? You can read storybooks, magazines, newspapers and
any other articles. Reading keeps you mentally alert and helps build your critical
thinking skills. Besides, you gain knowledge and enrich your vocabulary.
Your parents own a bakery in town. Why don‟t you help them out there during
the school holidays? If you don‟t like baking, you can at least help them to serve the
customers. You will be surprised at how well you can do it. If you don‟t try, you will
never know.
Well, guess I need to stop here. Do write to me if you need further advice or if
you have other plans.
Bye and take care.
Your friend,
Jamil
