The sticks went deep into my mouth and throat. Then they were drilling my nose out. I
didn’t understand what there was to drill, there was already enough of a hole there! They used
two sticks, one for each nostril, four in total. It hurt. I screamed so loud that my mother, a few
doors away, heard me clearly. My father came rushing, stood behind the door and tried to calm
me down. And then it was over, the test samples were taken. The rest of the process was pretty
neat. We came out of the airport and were taken to the quarantine palace in a bus.

Looking out of the window, there were people with the hazmat suits just about everywhere,
from our plane to the hotel. They had thought of every unimaginable thing, from our hotel room’s
floor material to the process which they had conducted to get us to the quarantine centre. I had
never seen such discipline before.

We were in our second day, it is evening, our Indian food came in for the night. The hotel
people told us that they would give us an Indian meal for dinner and something Chinese for lunch.
My father first saw the images of the food on the WeChat group. Everybody there said, the food is
excellent. When I went to pick it up at the door, it was just some boiled vegetables with a roti. I
was surprised.

That was not Indian food, it didn’t even have any spice! We were totally confused. How
could they have given us a different meal from the others?! Sometime later, we heard some big
noise outside our room. A man next door was churning out his anger on the people who delivered
us the food. That man was given the same food as us, too. He seemed like a middle-aged South
Indian guy. His Chinese was impeccable as a native. After a few good minutes of explosion of his
anger, he managed to get some new meals and also helped us solve the problem.

The same evening, we were waiting for the results of our covid-19 test. We had already
seen the news that some people were positive for the virus in our flight. I was in a class when we
heard the ambulance. For a moment, I thought that it was here for us, for me. They were going to
take me to the hospital because I had the bloody virus. My heart started pumping hard. I got so
afraid that my hands started sweating despite the cool room temperature. I looked outside the
window. The ambulance was near our hotel, on the main road. When I saw the red and blue, I
almost fainted. The thought that they were here for me was my only thought.

I could not get my mind off the noise. It hovered around my body like a ghost trying to hunt
me down and beat up every single cell out of my body. After what seemed like an eternity, we
were told we didn’t have the virus after all. And the ambulance wasn’t there for us either.

Quarantine is supposed to be boring, so we came prepared for it. I had a lot of classes,
English, Maths, Science, Computer and more from the school. When I had nothing else to do,
boredom was taking over, I used to look out the window. I would just look at the parking lot below
and try to make out for every single little detail. It was fun for me to do, and I never got bored
doing it.

Fourteen days after our flight had arrived, we were allowed to go home! Out of the
quarantine palace as I would like to call it. We had booked a car from Ningbo to Changzhou. It was
a few hours’ drive. When we arrived, we still had to stay at home for another 14 days before we
could start our normal life. But we could go out for essentials. I am eagerly waiting to go back to
school.

Part 4

Questions 27 to 32

You are going to read an article about how to improve your English in the millennium. Six sentences have
been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (27 to 32).
There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.

How to Improve Your English in the Millennium

A number of people have come to me asking for tips to improve their English proficiency.

10 years ago. I’d probably be telling them to read a lot as reading enriches vocabulary. However,

that isn’t the case today.

First of all, it is important to define what constitutes having a proficient English.

(27) Grammar? Well, that’s important too so that your sentences make sense. But vocabulary

enhancement is more crucial in conquering English.

Now that ‘English proficiency’ is defined. I shall share the methods to add up words to your

daily thesaurus. As I mentioned, reading isn’t the only way to improve one’s English skills these

days. (28)

Contents are abundance on the Internet and you will discover these different types

published daily. If you are a visual kind of person, you will definitely like to watch videos on You

Tube. Are you are a listener? (29) More interestingly, a lot of people improve their English

through gaming! Fascinating, isn’t it? And if you’re a reader like myself, you can still indulge

yourself in books but there are digital and online books available as well.

8

PPT ENGLISH FORM 4 1119/1 & 119/2

Most content on the net are in English and the easy access to them are a blessing for us

who live in the millennium. (30) Be wary in the selection process as not all contents come

with substance.

When you make it a habit to learn at least 5 to 10 new words daily whichever medium you

prefer, you need to practise using those words. As quoted by Christopher Crawford, “Knowledge

without application is like a book that is never read”. (31)

Progress only takes place when one put effort. (32) Make full use of the resources

available around you and start communicating comfortably in English.

A. Thus, if you wish to improve your proficiency, you’re going to start making your first step
today.

B. If you ask me, I would say possessing enough vocabulary to get one to communicate
comfortably in the language

C. Many thanks to the advancement of technology, there are other enriching methods
including watching, listening and even playing!

D. It is a matter of selecting the suitable one which can help us develop our skill.

E. Some words which are difficult to learn should not become a hindrance to upskill ourselves.

F. Therefore, it is essential that one learns to use those words in their communication so that
they would not only remember, but also understand them contextually.

G. Then platforms like Podcast and even online radios are for you to enjoy.

H. One way to expedite the process is by subscribing to paid online lessons which contain
videos and e-books.

her. Read about Anne’s adventures in Green Gables and admire her plucky, optimistic and joyful

This amusing story about girls growing up is hilarious yet tender. Wilson amazes again with her
acute observations of teenage life. The book is both sensitive and funny. Suitable for teenagers.

to modern fables, mirrors have been fodder for interesting plots. This compilation of stories brings
