Reading
A. Read the text

Recently, I did some research and discovered that budgeting is very important in managing your
money.

There are many reasons to keep a budget. When you budget, you know where your money is
going. You can save your money in the future because you can identify if you are being wasteful
or spending money unnecessarily. If you being wasteful , you can rectify the problem.

Maintaining a budget is a good habit. It will become handy when you are an adult. When you
grow older, you may have credit card payment and loans to pay. A budget will help you meet
these payments. It will also help avoid any financial crisis. Even if you do face a financial problem,
you can deal with it early and avoid undue stress.

There are three steps to prepare for your budget. First, calculate all the money you can in earn
in a month. Net, figure out all expenses. Finally, compare your expenses with you earnings, Do
they match up, or do you have to cut down on your expenses?

Don’t dismiss the importance of budgeting. It not only prevents overspending but also helps
you reach your financial goals

B. Write True or False for the following statements
1. Keeping a budget prevents overspending

2. Budgeting is a habit you should learn as an adult

3. Loans can be avoided if you learn to maintain a budget from young

4. Maintaining a budget also helps reduce stress

Reading
Read the article below.

THE STORY OF THE MOBILE PHONE NOVEL
A few years ago a 19 year –old Japanese girl started writing a novel about her life in a
small town. She finished it in just three weeks and gave it the title Dreams Come
True. Akiko wasn’t an experienced writer and didn’t expect anyone to be interested
in her tale. Yet when it came out a few months later, the romantic novel was a great
success. It sold over 200,000 copies.

It’s an incredible story. The most amazing thing about it, though, is the fact that
Akiko wrote the novel on her mobile phone! As she wrote, she posted it, chapter by
chapter, on a website where readers could download it immediately. She worked on
it whenever she could – mostly while she was relaxing at home. She didn’t think too
much about the story and she didn’t rewrite anything!

Akiko was one of the first of a new generation of novelists in Japan who wrote novels
as if they are writing a text message. They write in a simple, chatty style and use lots
of abbreviations and `emoticons’. They know how to tell a good story, but they don’t
worry too much about grammar and spelling.

Some people were critical of mobile phone novels at first. They thought they were a
bad influence on teenage girls, who preferred them to `proper’ literature. However,
they are now popular with people of all ages. Many of the best-selling paperback
books in Japan were originally mobile phone novels!

(A) State whether the following sentences are YES or NO. If the answer is NO,
correct the statement.

1. Was Dreams Come True about true experiences? YES / NO

2. Did readers like Dreams Come True? YES / NO

3. Did the author write the novel on her computer? YES / NO

4. Is the language in a mobile phone novel always correct? YES / NO

34

B ) Use dictionary to look up the definitions of the following words.
1. incredible
2. chatty
3. abbreviations
4. experienced

C) Correct the errors in the following sentences :
1. Junita reading a storybook right now.

2. They are do their homework at the library now.

3. I watching a movie, so please be quiet!

Writing
A) Rearrange the sentences below to form a talk entitle `How to Help Ourselves
When We Are Bullied.’

Firstly, hold your anger.
Next, never respond by getting physical.
I hope the talk has been useful. Thank you.
You should never try to kick, hit or fight back as you can never be sure
what the bully will do.
Good morning, the principal, teachers and friends. I am here today to
give a talk on how we can help ourselves when we are bullied.
Finally, act brave and ignore the bully.
You should look the bully In the eye and walk away as this will send the
message that you do not care. Sooner or later the bully will get bored
trying to bother you.
It is natural to get upset when you are bullied, but this is what the bully
is aiming for. So, getting angry will make the situation worse.

35

B) Now, write out the talk in the space provided.
