Virtual LearningPractice 2A – BALVIN – Foundation in Science It was challenging at first and a little terrifying. However, lecturers and a few friends got me through it. Theyassisted me since they were aware of my family and my situation, and I would want to thank them for that.B – YASMEEN – Diploma in Human Resources and Management The virtual learning environment was easy to use and provided easy access to the course. The tutors wereavailable for phone calls and SMS. I found the course to be enjoyable, and it was helpful that I could pauseit whenever I wanted to since sometimes circumstances meant that I was unable to finish the course whilelessons were being conducted. This is very useful for me as I’m working and studying at the same time.C – ADAM – Foundation in Arts For me as a student, the virtual learning environment has been satisfactory. I feel like a lazy person when Ifind myself lacking the desire to complete my projects. Even though I still complete the tasks, I occasionallyforget to turn them in on time. It seems as though I complete the homework whenever I feel like it.D – MEI LI – Foundation in Business and Management I would honestly have no problem learning online in the future. I just can’t physically talk to my lecturers inperson when I need help or have questions, but it’s not that bad. I think the hardest aspect of virtual learningis interacting with lecturers through the Internet.E – PATRICK – Diploma in Accounting If I had the option in the future, I would choose to study virtually for a small part with the majority in atraditional classroom. Nevertheless, it varies by class. I dislike spending my entire day in front of a screen.Though I enjoy technology, the long hours learning in front of a screen is tedious. The fact that I have moredistractions at home bothers me as well because there are five other family members in my apartment.F – ANISHA – Diploma in Nursing This was a difficult subject, and I found it particularly difficult at times because of my dyslexia. But I wasable to make it through due to the excellent and supportive tutors I had.Topikal Mahir SBP Eng F4 Part 5(3rd)13/3/24.indd 46 13/03/2024 10:11 AMPENERBIT MAHIR SDN BHD

Watching Dramas and MoviesPractice 4A – HARRY, 16 YEARS OLD Beyond just being entertaining, I watch movies to uplift my spirits after being stressed out with my studies.This is because movies can and will affect your psychology, your IQ, your EQ and overall, your way ofthinking. It is definitely one of the most powerful forms of escapism from daily pressures. So whenever thereis too much on my plate, I will unwind for a bit and be ready to go back on track right after.B – RON, 16 YEARS OLD I find that I can easily pick up a new language by watching Korean dramas and American TV shows withsubtitles. Of course, this is over a period of years. By simply watching and listening to the dialogues, I canacquire pronunciation, vocabulary and fluency in the structure of the target language. Now I am proud to saythat I am a trilingual!C – HERMIONE, 16 YEARS OLD Do you remember the last time you laughed your heart out while watching a movie? Or were panickingbecause you were transported to a different realm, battling monsters? I do and I also recall it was amongsome of the very rare moments when I actually had a good uninhibited laugh with my friends. Well, that’swhat a good movie does for you. It lightens the mood and we get to imagine living different lives.D – LUNA, 17 YEARS OLD I’m blessed to have friends who share my interest in movies. We’re movie buffs who enjoy watching moviesof different genres. Fantasy, horror, thriller, comedy, you name it! As we go to the cinema to watch the bigscreen together, we get really close talking about our thoughts and opinions. So, not only am I able to spendmy time doing what I love but I get to be with my friends more!E – GINNY, 15 YEARS OLD My best friend is the one who brought me to the cinema for the very first time and since then, I have beenhooked! I love the fact that watching movies allows me to get a good look at the real world and the waypeople all around the globe live their lives, sometimes, totally different from mine. Fun fact, I picked up theskills of using chopsticks from the Chinese movies I recently watched. Now I can eat my noodles easily!F – NEVILLE, 17 YEARS OLD It is amazing to know how many people actually worked their magic to produce a blockbuster movie.Although the actors and actresses are the ones under the spotlight, we really shouldn’t forget about thosebehind the scenes. The director, cinematographers, gaffers, makeup artists, costume designers, prop makers,visual effect artists and many more! I am really inspired to become a film producer in the future.Topikal Mahir SBP Eng F4 Part 5(3rd)13/3/24.indd 50 13/03/2024 10:11 AMPENERBIT MAHIR SDN BHD

Hand-tufted CarpetsPractice 5A – POPPY, @POPPYLOVESPOPPY There are various advantages to hand-tufted carpets. They can still have a comparable appearance and feelto hand-knotted carpets, but they are in fact usually more economical. Additionally, not a lot of supplies orequipment are needed to begin tufting. Since I’m not very patient, I would rather use a tufting gun rather thanmake my rug by hand using a punch needle. A cheaper alternative would be to purchase the gun straight fromChinese suppliers. Yarns are the one item that I truly splurge on!B – BRANCH, @LAZYSALTYGUY The biggest yes about hand-tufted rugs is that, in general, they are simpler to maintain and clean than otherkinds of carpets, making them a good choice for individuals trying to strike a balance between price andquality. Also, they last a long time. They can withstand heavy traffic and everyday use. Plus, they are easy tomaintain as they do not contain chemicals that react with water. Just clean them regularly and they will lookbrand new each time.C – BRIDGET, @QUEENISME As a hobbyist, I love to DIY things, so I got my hands on a tufting gun during the MCO days. Using mysingle-needle tufting gun in hand, I find joy in creating one-of-a-kind rugs and carpets. The learning processis also quite easy. Simply by watching and following a couple of tutorial videos on how to operate the gun,I could master the art on my own. Nowadays, I take custom online orders and ship them out as a side gig. Itis undoubtedly a rewarding pastime that allows me to both earn money and escape from everyday life..D – VIVA, @AWESOMEMEMES Being able to express my creativity through tufting and making original designs and patterns is one of thereasons I love it so much. It offers endless possibilities for experimentation, as I can use different yarns,textures and colours to create my custom rugs. These days, I usually enjoy tufting because it is so relaxing.After going nuts choosing the coloured yarns for my sketched designs, I will then sit back and enjoy a ‘metime’tufting session. The repetitive motion of tufting is so meditative which helps me greatly to unwind fromthe stresses of daily life.E – JOHN DORY, @THELEADERBROZONE Although hand-tufted rugs may not be as durable as machine-made or hand-knotted ones, with proper care,they can last for quite a long time! The natural custom-made hand-tufting rugs are made from natural fibres,making them eco-friendly and safe for use in homes. I am not worried for my cats and rabbits’ safety orhealth as I use hand-tufted rugs that I made personally as their sleeping area cover. Not only are they easy toclean and maintain but from my experiences with furry friends, those rugs are usually more stain- and wearresistant.F – FLOYD, @THESENSITIVEONE If you think that it is easy to control the tuft gun to stay within the outline of my butterfly design, then thinkagain! It might look simple but I only have mad respect for the artisan who spends hours working on the rugsand carpets with intricate designs. On the other hand, hand-tufted rugs with simple designs can be producedrather quickly. This increases their availability in a variety of patterns and hues which makes them great asaffordable contemporary rugs and even as wall-hanging art. I went to a tufting workshop last week with mybesties and we brought home our personalised hand-tufted rug after only a one-hour session! I had loads offun that day!Topikal Mahir SBP Eng F4 Part 5(3rd)13/3/24.indd 52 13/03/2024 10:11 AMPENERBIT MAHIR SDN BHD

AO2AO4 Statements Paragraph1 They make wonderful home décor pieces and are not as pricey as we think. 2 Unlike those machine-made, these pieces are usually crafted with organic materials, which are environmentally sustainable. 3 If properly maintained, these items may still look brand-new even after decades of use. 4 Tufting is great for those who want to loosen up from the pressures of life.
