Read the text and answer the questions that follow. LS 3.1.1, 3.1.2

Family structure has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. There are five specific types of
family structures identified by society today.

The  nuclear family (traditional family) is the traditional type of family structure. This family type
consists of two parents and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being
the ideal in which to raise children. Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from
the two-parent structure and generally have more opportunities due to the financial ease of two
adults.

The single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. This family
may include a single mother, a single father, or a single person with their children. The single parent
family is the biggest change society has seen in terms of the changes in family structures. One in
four children is born to a single mother. Single parent families are generally close and find ways to
work together to solve problems, such as dividing up household chores. When only one parent is at
home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working. This limits income
and opportunities in many cases, although many single parent families have support from relatives
and friends.

The extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or
marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working
toward common goals, such as raising the children and keeping up with the household duties. Many
extended families include cousins, aunts or uncles and grandparents living together. This type of
family structure may form due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for
themselves alone. Or if a spouse (husband or wife) dies, another adult family member might move in
to help with the children. Extended families are becoming increasingly common all over the world.

Over half of all marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried.
This creates the step or blended family which involves two separate families merging into one new
unit. It consists of a new husband, wife, or spouse and their children from previous marriages or
relationships. Stepfamilies are about as common as the nuclear family, although they tend to have

more problems, such as adjustment periods and discipline issues. Stepfamilies need to learn to work
together and also work with their exes to ensure these family units run smoothly.
An adoptive family is a family that contains at least one adopted child and at least one adoptive
parent. At the age of 18, adopted children have the right to receive all the available information
concerning who their biological parents or their former adoptive parents are. Through adoption, an
adopted child obtains the same legal position with respect to the adoptive parents, their relatives
and those who are related to them through the adoption as it would be as the biological child of
the adoptive parents. From that same time, the child’s legal connections to its biological parents, to
other biological relatives, and to those who are related to the biological parents, to other biological
relatives are cancelled.

need to know.
First of all, you should be aware of your surroundings. Watch out for any (2) people

Apart from that, getting around (6) your destination is another important point to
note. At (7) places, there is a safe and reliable public transport system that you can use,
and for others, you might have to get around with rental vehicles or probably on (8) .
Pick up a pocket map of the train or bus routes at the airport or the hotel so that you can refer to
it later. You will have much more fun and freedom to go (9) you want by exploring the
destination on your own.

History of Zoo

Exotic animals from faraway lands used to become a (0) symbol of power and wealth. In the
(1) world, Hittites kings of the Hattusa empire in Anatolia displayed lions, tigers, wolves,

leopards, and bears; Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut displayed rhinoceros, giraffes, and greyhounds;
Emperor Wu Di displayed elephants, yak, pandas, cormorants, and herons; Roman Emperors
displayed elephants, leopards, lions, lynxes, owls, porcupine. The exotic animals were given as
(2) from the diplomatic envoys and they became (3) collections. Also called
the menagerie, a collection of wild animals for exhibition, it is not something new.
In the late 1600s, the collection of wild animals was kept in enclosures that were (4)
in a circle facing a pavilion at Versailles, France. This structure was copied by other European
rulers. In 1793, Jardin Royal des Plantes, the menagerie of the French royals, was transferred its

zoological parks. Then, nation-states replaced kingdoms and the menagerie grew from being
(6) to public collections which were supported by taxes. During the Renaissance and
the Age of Enlightenment, public animal collections gained new symbolic meanings. The (7)
‘zoo’ started which came from the longer scientific terminology, “zoological garden”.
During this time, a zoo is not only a place for amusement and entertainment, it is also a place for
scientific research.
Decades (8) , many zoos were opened in cities such as Dublin, London, Melbourne
and Philadelphia. Public zoos became (9) in cities and they grew larger and complex
institutions. They housed more animals and the size of enclosures grew bigger. More people
were employed such as staff, professionals, labourers, veterinarians, and zookeepers. More
amenities in the zoos were built, (10) , restaurants, rides, concessions, and souvenir
shops. Today, zoos are for entertainment purposes and also to educate the public about animals
and species conservation.

SPM MODEL QUESTION AND ANSWER
Part 5

Questions 33 – 40
Below are the opinions of five students about the best ways to stay fit and healthy. Read the texts
below and answer the questions that follow.

Best Ways to Stay Fit and Healthy

A – Zulfa, 17
I think eating healthy is the best way to keep fit and healthy. What people need to know is
exercise is not the only way to stay fit and healthy. A healthy diet is a must too. I tend to go for
fruits and vegetables in my healthy eating plan. I rarely eat fast food and try to avoid any bad
food habits such as snacking on crisps and sweets. Eating healthy is not easy since you might
crave something oily and fatty. I try to avoid them if possible, but if I really want to eat them, I
eat them in moderation.
B – Chris, 17
Exercise is the key to stay fit and healthy. Moving the body can improve circulation and
strengthen the muscles. It is better to exercise in moderation and make it a daily routine rather
than go all out only once a week. You can go for a walk or slow jog. I exercise for at least an
hour daily. I usually switched my workout routine every day to avoid being bored. I jog, run, do
cardiovascular exercises, core strengthening exercises and sometimes yoga.

C – Saleh, 17
For teens who are still growing physically and mentally, I think the best way to stay fit and
healthy is by having a good night sleep. I don’t mean to have longer sleeping hours, but a good
sleep for about six to eight hours a day. Lack of sleep can have a bad effect on metabolism,
mood, concentration, memory, motor skills, hormones and immune system. I read in a science
book that sleeps allows the body to heal, repair and rejuvenate. You will feel tired all the time if
you don’t have a good sleep and that is not a good definition of being healthy.
D – Nalini, 16
To stay fit and healthy, I think the best way is to drink a lot of water. Our body needs water to
function properly so we need to stay hydrated. We to drink plain water rather than flavoured
water. Plain water can naturally cleanse our organs and digestive system. Especially when you
exercise, you drink up lots of water. If you do not stay hydrated while exercising, you can get
muscle soreness, fatigue and be exhausted more quickly. And sometimes, when you think you
are hungry, drink some water first. You might be thirsty rather than hungry.
E – Sura, 16
I think keeping active and moving a lot can help you to stay fit and healthy. Some people
especially me do not like to exercise. Instead of exercising, I try to be active at home and at
school to keep fit. I try to avoid sitting for long periods which can cause back pain. At home, I
do a lot of housework that requires me to move around such as sweeping the floor, vacuuming
and dusting things. At school, sometimes I use the stairs more frequently as it is also some kind
of exercise.

Below are the opinions of six students regarding the night market. Read the texts below and answer the
questions that follow.

Night Market
A. Syaza, 16 years old
Night market is a unique Malaysian culture. I’m sure that every Malaysian will have a fond memory
of the night market. I really love the night market and will visit it once a week to buy something.
I think night markets are the most interesting places in Malaysia to visit. Not only the locals love
visiting the night market, but the expats and tourists from other countries will also visit the nearest
night market and consider it as a tourist spot.
B. Rajendran, 16 years old
You can find almost everything there at an affordable price. Compared to the supermarket, things
sold at the night market are quite cheap and fresher produce. You can get groceries, clothing, local
food, fruits, accessories, household item and more. You can even haggle the price to get a good
bargain. I would rather go to the night market than a large supermarket to buy the things that I
want.
C. Amri, 17 years old
Night market is a haven for local foods and there are a lot of mouth-watering cuisines sold there.
You can either eat at the stalls there or take away to enjoy the food at home. Sometimes I don’t even
know what to eat since there are too many choices of food. What would make me disappointed at
the end of the day was not being able to buy all of the food there.
D. Khor, 16 years old
For me, night market is a shopping paradise, especially as a student. Since my allowance is not
much, I could enjoy shopping at the night market. I could buy a lot of food without spending too
much money. I could also find fashion items such as bracelets, necklaces, brooches, and clothes.
Sometimes I could haggle the price of the clothes and get them at a cheaper price.
F. Jasmine, 17 years old
I like night market because there are a lot of things that you can buy there, but I dislike crowded
and noisy places. If I really want to buy something at the night market, I would go at an earlier
time. I will usually go at 5 p.m. when there are not many people there yet. I could explore the place
before it is packed with people.

to (8) haggle the price from the seller. It was a great end after all!

We have interviewed six students and below are their opinions regarding alternative energy. Read the
texts below and answer the questions that follow.

Alternative Energy
A. Peter, 16 years old
Alternative energy refers to energy sources other than fossil fuels. I understand that alternative
energy is renewable such as solar, wind, nuclear, biomass and geothermal energy. Renewable
energy is sustainable which means it is endless unlike fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and
diesel. Today, renewable energy is gaining popularity as people are aware of the environmental
problems in the world.
B. Kumar, 16 years old
I am all for alternative energy. They have more advantages than fossil fuels. First, alternative energy
sources are cleaner. To get alternative energy, humans do not need to damage the environment at
all. Look at how they extract and carry oil. There is always news about oil spills in the ocean from
the tankers that carry them. They not only created pollution but also destroying nature and killing
the animals.
C. Affandi, 17 years old
I agree that alternative energy is the way to go. Wind and solar energy, for example, are the cleanest.
But we are still far from having the world to use them. Some parts of the world are still far behind
in using renewable energy as it is very expensive. Even in Malaysia, adopting solar panels at home
or buying electric cars would be very costly. People rather use fossil fuels energy for now as they
are cheaper.
D. Sheila, 17 years old
From my reading, I found that solar energy and wind energy are the most popular alternative
energy for now. The energy is readily available and harmless to the surrounding wildlife. But there
are downsides to the energy too. Both wind energy and solar energy is not consistent. The wind
speeds and sunlight vary every day. Some days you can get high energy and others are low. Not all
areas are suited to install wind turbines or solar panels.
E. Stephanie, 17 years old
In this modern era, we use a lot of electricity. That is why harnessing energy with alternatives
energy to produce electricity is important. This so that we are able to use a lot of electricity to
power our electrical appliances and even cars. Many car companies now are building better and
more efficient electric cars so that we do not have to use fossil fuels anymore. One day, we will be
able to use clean energy to power our homes.

We interviewed five students about their views on e-learning. Read the texts below and answer the
questions that follow.

E-learning
A – Sarah, 13 years old
E-learning makes me stressed out. I must be technically proficient in handling a computer-based
task. Sometimes, the task given is easy, but I could not respond to it as I don’t know how. What
should I click? How do I submit the task? Last week, I was scolded by my teacher who thought I
didn’t submit the task. The problem was, I was lost. I didn’t know how to attach the document to
the email! Luckily, my friend helped me, but I was so embarrassed for not learning that simple skill!
B – Zack, 16 years old
Well, e-learning is so great! I think it’s more relaxing and comforting than having the lesson in the
real classroom. With online learning, I can hold it anywhere like at home or a restaurant. The best
part is while doing e-learning, I can do another task as well. Recently, I joined a Google Meet class
with my teacher while washing the dishes in the kitchen. It didn’t disturb the class at all! I just
brought my smartphone to the kitchen, turning on the Google Meet, listening to the teacher while
helping my mom!
C – Leonard, 17 years old
E-learning has given me a new view of the learning world. Before, I had a bad perception that
students won’t get anything with e-learning. However, looking at my teacher’s struggle in varying
the methods to teach has opened my mind that learning is not only be done within the walls of
the classroom. My teacher uses a lot of applications for e-learning like Google Meet, Padlet, or
even the social media platforms which are WhatsApp and Telegram. Applications like Google Meet,
WhatsApp and Telegram allow the teacher to see my face, ask questions and wait for my response.
It just feels like the real lesson in the classroom!
D – Joshua, 14 years old
I could not join the class as my friends do. I have to wait for my parents to return home from work,
then I could do the task given by the teacher. It’s unfair as sometimes the teacher has set the time
for submission and I’ll always be the last person who submits it. The worst part is, I ought to wait
for my turn as I have two more sisters, who’ll be using my mom’s smartphone as well. My parents
could not afford to buy us the gadget each.
E – Ronald, 15 years old
I live in a remote area. I guess everyone knows what my problem is, right? I could not join any single
e-learning my teacher organised. The internet connection was very poor in my area. Fortunately,
the teacher gave me a printed module to be done at home. It was assigned for 2 weeks. But again,
doing the task on my own wasn’t so much fun as I wasn’t able to interact with my teacher not I
could do the discussion with other friends. The idea of e-learning is so much fun if the internet
connection is good.

also some difficulties especially if they have poor (6) internet connection. Furthermore, to

We interviewed five students about how they earn extra pocket money. Read the texts below and answer
the questions that follow.

How to earn extra money?
A – Olivia, 20 years old
I’m doing a part-time job as a language translator. As I’m now doing my degree in French, I use
my knowledge to translate documents from some companies which use the French language. It’s
really time-consuming and challenging. I have to not only translate French into English or vice
versa, but I need also to know some suitable words or phrases that can be used for a particular
topic. I usually do this part-time job during the semester break on weekends, as most students do.
Yes, I do get some extra pocket money but most importantly, it helps to upgrade my skill.

B – Vanida, 21 years old
I really love eating various types of food. And, I also love to critics! By criticising means, both positive
and negative. I know I have a good taste in food since 3 years ago when I was eating western food
in a restaurant. I posted the review on my social media account, and shockingly, I received 150 000
likes and 2000 comments! Starting from that moment, some food sellers paid me to write a review
on their products. It was very fascinating yet challenging because I need to be creative with words.
The best part is, of course, I’ll be given the food for free!
C – Kirk, 20 years old
Doing this part-time job has helped me earning almost £200 per week. I’m a busker. My hobby is
singing since I was in primary school. I have a band named The Kirkies where I am the main singer.
Five of us are studying at the same college but in different courses. We usually perform at nights at
it doesn’t clash with our classes on the day. We choose to perform near a shopping mall or at the

Since last year, I worked as a home tutor. I am an excellent student for Science, Mathematics and
History for secondary school students. I’m working as a private home tutor who works on weekends,
during the day only. At night, I’ll be doing some revisions. I am paid £25 for an hour and I usually
spend two hours for one session. The payment I get from this job will be used for my expenses on
food and mobile phone monthly.
E – Jim, 19 years old
I’m currently studying in microbiology course in my first year. I need to buy a lot of things for
doing my experiments as well as assignments and projects. Designing a website, as a part-time job
supports my expenses. I love designing website since I was in secondary school. I can send almost
one day, sitting in front of my PC, to create the best website. People usually hire me to design a
website for advertising products and I usually get around £500 - £1000 for one website I make.
