SUGGESTED ANSWER – QUESTION 3

A Report On The Lack of Interest In Sports Among The Students of

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Pati Kelana

On the 10th of September 2021, I have conducted a survey on 980 students of SMK Pati
Kelana involving students from Form 1 to Form 5 and the result showed that only 220 students
are interested in sports.
760 students cited that they have lack of interest in sports. They are uncomfortable with
the fact that they tend to get sweaty, hot, dirty and sun-burnt after playing sports. Furthermore,
they do not have much time to spend on sports due to their tight schedule. Most of them have
to attend tuition classes after school and some even have part time job while some just care less
as they prefer to play online games or surf the internet and engross on social medias. 420
students stated that their main problem is their parents. Their parents put excessive amount of
attention on academic that it has become difficult for them to make time for leisure, let alone
sports.
In order to get students to have interest in sports, both school and parents must
cooperate. School should provide enough equipment and facilities for students to enjoy the
different types of sports. With enough equipment and facilities, every student will have the
opportunity to participate. Parents should encourage their children to get involve and allow
them to have time for both academic and leisure.

SUGGESTED ANSWER – QUESTION 4

A Safe Neighbourhood
by
Nur Qistyna Damia binti Muhd Fitri

Everyone wants a safe neighbourhood. We all should feel safe in our homes because it
is the safest place we can be. However, lately crime rates in the neighbourhood have increased.
Theft and burglary can occur at any time of the day even at broad daylight. Residents are
becoming more cautious and vigilant even towards their own neighbours. Gates, house grills
and even the doors are always locked and home security systems are installed around the house
to double the security.

The two most common crimes that happen in a neighbourhood are thefts and burglaries.
There are also rare cases such as kidnapping and house attacks. Thieves are always finding
opportunity to steal whatever they can once the residents lose their guard. Victims can get
seriously hurt and even something more sinister such as violent crime may happen during a
break in or burglary. People no longer feel safe and sense of trust between neighbours is
jeopardised.

As a responsible resident there are ways to help prevent crime from happening in your
neighbourhood. You can start by not displaying valuable items outside your house such as
bicycles. Always remember to double check your doors and windows and draw your curtains
at night. Call the police once you notice any suspicious looking individuals or vehicles roaming
or driving around your area. Next, get to know your neighbours. Familiarising yourself with
neighbours can be a win-win situation. Offer yourself as a resource in case of emergencies or
when your help is needed.

SUGGESTED ANSWER – QUESTION 5

Be Responsible

Being responsible is something that I find very difficult to commit to until an unexpected
incident happened that made me realised how important it is to be responsible.

It happened when were given a class project that must be completed in two weeks time. I
didn’t start right away. I was busy idling on my phone, wasting my time doing anything except
finishing my work. “What’s the rush? We’re given two weeks” That was what I thought. A
week had passed and I was still not doing anything. I had totally forgotten about my
responsibility. Three more days to due date and that was when I started to get panic. I began to
search for information till wee hours for two days straight and preparing my slides for my
presentation. As a result, due to lack of sleep I fall extremely sick.

The presentation day then finally came and I was a nervous wreck. My presentation went
so badly and even my computer was not being good to me that day. I felt so guilty and ashamed
of myself and I cried till my eyes were swollen. This incident really taught me a lesson on the
importance of being responsible. Since that day I made a promise to myself that I will change
and be more responsible.

Being responsible should always become a part of one’s personality. Lack of such a trait
of character or even its absolute absence was never considered to be a positive feature.
