Now, talk to each other about the challenges faced when moving into a new neighbourhood.

Candidate A (What is the �irst challenge?) (Why do you say so?) To begin with, I couldn’t agree more that

getting to know new neighbours is the most challenging aspect. It’s not easy to build a good

relationship with new neighbours, who are complete strangers. Don’t you think so?

get transportation. There are a lot of buses, taxis and e-hailing services available most of the time. What

do you think?

Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (What about making new friends?) (What is the reason?) (What
about �inding a suitable school?) I agree with you. Next, I agree that making new friends is a
challenge when moving into a new neighbourhood. You will need to make new friends as soon
as possible so that you can settle in the new neighbourhood quickly. What are your thoughts
regarding a suitable school?

Candidate B (What is your view?) (Why?) (What are they?) In my opinion, I do think it is a challenge to �ind
a suitable school as there are many factors to consider like distance, transportation mode, and
also costs. What do you think?

Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (What about adjusting to a new environment?) (Why?) I completely
agree with having to consider those factors. For the next challenge which is adjusting to a new
environment, I disagree with this point as I believe it doesn’t take too long for someone to settle in.
Do you agree?

Candidate B (Do you agree or disagree?) (What about the living costs?) (Why?) Yes, I agree. As for the last
challenge, it’s true that the living costs in a new neighbourhood might be a problem. If someone
is moving from a small town to a bigger, modern city, then, of course, the living costs aren’t the
same. Surely the costs would be higher as goods will cost more in the city. What do you think?

Answer Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (Why?) I absolutely agree as I have experienced the same situation

Candidate B (What do you feel?) Glad to know that. I guess both of us can conclude that there are challenges

Lesson 1: Reading Read articles from websites or social media. Real-Life Adaptation Core Civic Value: Responsibility
Unit 1
Practice A (L.S. 3.1.1) SPM-Oriented Part 4: Gapped Text Textbook: page 5-6 PL

You are going to read an article about the benefits of household chores. Six sentences have been removed from the
article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (1 to 6). There are two extra sentences which
you do not need to use.

Household Chores Further practice: (Reading Part 4)
(Unit 4: page 35) (Unit 6: page 55) (Unit 8: page 81)
Family routines help family life run better. They determine how families organise themselves to get things (Unit 9: page 93) (Unit 10: page 102) (Unit 11: page 111)
done, spend time together and have fun at the same time. Routines help family members know who should do
what, when, in what order and how often they need to perform the tasks.

It is good to have routines that are set for children. First, having chores as part of a family routine helps
children and teenagers develop a sense of responsibility. They also get to learn some basic skills like time
management. (1) G Moreover, when children can do their part of the routine with supervision from their
parents, they gradually become more independent.

(2) A Doing chores helps children learn about what they need to do to care for themselves, their home and
their family. They pick up skills which can be used in their adult lives. This includes simple tasks like preparing
meals, cleaning rooms, organising things and keeping a garden clean.

Being involved in household chores also gives children the experience of building a relationship.
(3) D When children contribute to family life, it helps them feel competent and more responsible. Even
if they don’t enjoy the chore, when they share housework, they get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with
finishing a task. (4) F When children help out, chores get done sooner, and parents have less things to do.
This frees up more time for the family to do fun things together.

(5) C You can start by choosing chores that work for children’s ages and abilities. Chores that are too hard can
be frustrating while chores that are too easy might be boring. For instance, young children can help out with simple
chores like picking up toys. It’s also important to think about chores or tasks that involve children to care for the
family as a whole. (6) E Jobs like these are likely to give the children a sense of responsibility and participation. If
the children are old enough, have a family discussion about chores. The children can give their thoughts on planning
routines. This can reinforce the idea that the whole family contributes to how the household runs.

Keeping to good routines is a part of everyday family life. They strengthen family relationships. Everyone
understands their roles, knows what needs to be done and sees their roles as reasonable. Doing chores as part
of a routine helps children develop life skills and build healthy habits.

A Children can learn a lot from household chores. E A simple one is getting children to help with setting

Practice A (L.S.3.1.2) SPM-Oriented Part 5: Matching & Information Transfer Textbook: page 6-7 PL

We interviewed six teenagers on what they think about these family-themed movies. Read the texts below and pay
attention to the words in bold and then answer the questions that follow. (Dotted underlined words are possible
correct answers.)

Teens on their Favourite Movies

A – Prakash, 14 years old

I enjoyed Patch Adams tremendously. He is2different from his colleagues. He thinks that love and laughter
is the best treatment for all diseases. This movie describes Dr. Adams’ method of changing his patients’ lives.
I feel that this is a touching movie that makes you feel kinder after watching it.

B – Faiz, 16 years old

I feel that The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie that affects your feelings deeply. The main character, Chris Gardner is a
single dad, and he’s trying his best to make his son happy. A seller’s small salary is not enough to pay all the bills.
Chris and his son are evicted from their home, and they have to wander the streets. This is a real moving scene. Chris
finds a new job, and3these circumstances do not break him down, because he has to stay strong for his son.

C – Si Yin, 15 years old

I truly enjoyed this touching animation movie about bringing people together through music and family. The main
characters, Miguel and Mama Coco bring love and music back whilst learning the importance of family.1They
realise to be a close-knit loving family, they have to be good listeners. To me, this is so true and therefore
now, I am constantly trying to build a two-way communication when I talk to my parents or siblings.

D – Sharifah, 17 years old

In my opinion, I consider Din and Li Na in Wish Dragon to be respectable, hardworking, intelligent and passionate
individuals. They both have a desire to make their parents proud and to bring honour to their families. I feel Din is
chosen to be the7recipient of three magical wishes because he has a pure heart. I realised4that friends and family
are worth more than gold, and that the true meaning of life is to be selfless and put other people’s needs first.

E – Jeremy, 13 years old

I found this animation movie Onwards very moving. The characters Barley and Ian have almost completely
opposite6personalities. I see Barley, the elder brother, as being confident and fearless while Ian is shy, anxious,
and fearful. It is sad to think that Ian believes that if he had more of his father’s8guidance, his life wouldn’t be so
complicated, and he would be able to achieve more in life.

F – Roshni, 15 years old

I thoroughly enjoyed The Croods! I realised there’s no place like home, even if it’s just a cave. In the movie, for years,
Grug, the head of the family knows how to survive in their5dusty, brutal world, and he has the strength and courage
to keep his loved ones safe. I adored watching the rest of the Croods, who are made up of unique, sometimes hot-
tempered individuals but when it really matters, they show how much they love and care for one another.

Questions 1 to 4 Paragraph
Which paragraph (A – F) describes the particular characters in the movie? C

Statements B
1 Being attentive is vital for a happy family. D
2 A unique way of dealing with illness among the sick.
3 The paternal bond is tested by never-ending obstacles.

father is very hardworking and always tries his best to keep us safe and provide for the family. My

mother is very loving and a good listener .

Student A: I think as children we should work hard to make our parents proud and happy. We should always
remember the importance of family and the love that helps to bind it all.

Student B: Yes, you’re right. (to explain plan: study hard – ambition) That’s why I plan to study hard for my SPM

Student B: (to give opinion: good listener) The quality I find most admirable is someone who is a good listener.

Having someone who listens will help calm us down when we are angry. Don’t you think so?



Student A: Yes, that’s true. (to respond: like) (to justify opinion: doesn’t judge – solve) (to give opinion:
selflessness) I also like an understanding friend. This is because when we feel upset, a friend who just
listens and doesn’t judge will help figure out how to solve our problems. Another admirable quality
is selflessness. A selfless friend will not hesitate to help us in time of need.


Student B: You are right. A selfless friend will happily put us ahead of their needs.
Student A: What admirable quality would you like to have?

Now, talk to each other about the challenges faced when moving into a new neighbourhood.

Candidate A (What is the first challenge?) (Why do you say so?) To begin with, I couldn’t agree more that
getting to know new neighbours is the most challenging aspect. It’s not easy to build a good

relationship with new neighbours, who are complete strangers. Don’t you think so?

Candidate B (Do you agree or disagree?) (Why?) (What about the next point?) (How to take transportation?) I
beg to differ because sometimes, it’s easier to get to know neighbours than you think. Sometimes, if

you are lucky, your neighbours could help you to settle in comfortably at the new neighbourhood. I also
disagree that learning a new transportation system is a challenge. Nowadays, it’s not that difficult to
get transportation. There are a lot of buses, taxis and e-hailing services available most of the time. What

do you think?

Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (What about making new friends?) (What is the reason?) (What
about finding a suitable school?) I agree with you. Next, I agree that making new friends is a
challenge when moving into a new neighbourhood. You will need to make new friends as soon
as possible so that you can settle in the new neighbourhood quickly. What are your thoughts
regarding a suitable school?

Candidate B (What is your view?) (Why?) (What are they?) In my opinion, I do think it is a challenge to find
a suitable school as there are many factors to consider like distance, transportation mode, and
also costs. What do you think?

Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (What about adjusting to a new environment?) (Why?) I completely
agree with having to consider those factors. For the next challenge which is adjusting to a new
environment, I disagree with this point as I believe it doesn’t take too long for someone to settle in.
Do you agree?

Candidate B (Do you agree or disagree?) (What about the living costs?) (Why?) Yes, I agree. As for the last
challenge, it’s true that the living costs in a new neighbourhood might be a problem. If someone
is moving from a small town to a bigger, modern city, then, of course, the living costs aren’t the
same. Surely the costs would be higher as goods will cost more in the city. What do you think?

Answer Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (Why?) I absolutely agree as I have experienced the same situation
five years ago. It was tough for my parents for the first few years. But now my family is coping well
after the move.

Candidate B (What do you feel?) Glad to know that. I guess both of us can conclude that there are challenges

I remember was when my family celebrated my late grandfather’s birthday. I remember that day
was during his 75th birthday party celebration. The celebration took place three years ago at my
late grandfather’s house. It was a joyous celebration because all of my grandfather’s children
were there to celebrate the joyous occasion. I was so happy that I could meet all of them at one
place and catch up on the good times. I was over the moon when Grandfather sang a song for us.
To me, it was an important family celebration as that was the last time we celebrated my late

Practice A (L.S. 3.1.2) SPM-Oriented Part 5: Matching & Information Transfer Textbook: page 18-19 PL

We have interviewed six teenagers about what they experienced at these haunted places in Malaysia. Read the texts
below and then answer the questions that follow. (Dotted underlined words are possible correct answers.)

Chills at 6 Most Haunted Places in Malaysia

A – Kishen, 16 years old

I was sceptical about the stories relating to Mimaland, Malaysia’s first theme park which I visited last year. When
I watched the local horror film, Mimaland (2020) which is about a group of individuals filming a reality show at
the park, I did not really believe the ghost stories. However, I had7goosebumps when I heard that during filming,
the crew experienced a series of ghostly incidents, including an unexplained attack of hysteria among the three
staff members.

B – Chris Tan, 17 years old Unit 2

I have stayed at this 23-storey abandoned apartment as a curious individual and indeed have heard some
paranormal stories to share with my friends. There were some guests who saw a headless woman, while others
have heard the8slamming of doors.4An actor who starred in the film, Haunted Hotel 2 stayed at the apartment. He
had reported to have heard knocking sounds on his door.

C – Yuzwan, 18 years old

I have had a share of strange encounters on one of the most1haunted highways in Malaysia. The Karak Highway’s
hauntings are so widely known that a horror movie titled Karak: Laluan Puaka was made in 2011. I remember
one night, my friends and I started to break into a cold sweat when we saw a driverless yellow Volkswagen pass
us on this highway.

D – Joshua, 15 years old

I have had a brush with the supernatural in this famous seafront Villa Nabila in Johor, where a jealous maid took
the lives of a5wealthy family that once lived there. If you’re visiting the place, it is advisable to stay together.
While visiting the place with friends, we thought we felt something strange in our midst. A friend reported
seeing a lady dressed in white too.

E – Zaina, 14 years old

Located near Lebuh Farquhar, this school was turned into a military administrative building where people were
said to have been tortured to their deaths during the Japanese Occupation.3I remember my knees turning to
jelly when I drove past this spot. The sight of this building was so creepy that it made me feel frightened. My
heart pounded very fast. There have even been reports of sudden and unexplained attacks of hysteria taking
over6visitors at the site.

F – Vanitha, 16 years old

I visited Byram Mansion, an abandoned 50-year-old mansion with 99 doors, last year. I heard stories that a
famous local witch doctor used the site. Some locals reported having heard inhuman growls and unexplained
sounds coming from the surrounding areas of the building.2Scared out of my wits, I followed the local’s advice to
not stay within the area past sundown for fear of meeting one of the witch doctor’s evil spirits.

to see ghosts. They use that ability to hunt and kill ghosts who cause trouble against humans.
The two siblings are Dean and Sam Winchester. They travel across the country to hunt and kill
supernatural creatures. In my opinion, I love watching this horror series because I have always
been into reading books and magazines about the supernatural since I was eleven. Personally, I
prefer this genre as it is thrilling and filled with moments of suspense and horror.

Now, talk to each other about ideas to attract tourists to visit your city.

Candidate A (What is the first idea?) (Why?) (How is this done?) To begin with, I couldn’t agree more that
online campaigns help to attract tourists to my city. This is an advantage. Nowadays, many

people spend more time online. By launching online campaigns on social networking sites like
Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, tourists can find information about the city and be attracted to

visit it. Don’t you think so?

Answer Candidate B (Do you agree or disagree?) (Why?) (What about homestay experience?) (Why?) Yes, I feel the
same because many people use their phones and digital devices in their daily routines. I would

beach123 around with the locals and get to know the culture while on a vacation. What do you think?

Candidate A (What about hiring influencers?) (Who are they?) (How can they attract tourists?) I agree to a
certain extent but I believe it would be simply amazing to hire social media influencers. These
influencers could be celebrities, vloggers, bloggers, or anyone with many followers on their social
networking accounts like YouTube and Instagram. They can create content to promote the city to
their loyal followers. So, what about the next idea?

Candidate B (What about promote local food?) (Why?) I think the idea of promoting our local food would be
a great idea. Well, our local food could attract tourists since we have variety choices from Malay,
Chinese and Indian food.

Candidate A (Do you agree or disagree?) (Why?) (What about discounts and promotions?) Yes, I completely
agree. By the way, I would like to say that I agree with the idea of having discounts and promotions
offered to tourists. Offering discounts on tour packages and entrance fees would be more relevant
to attract tourists. What do you say about the last idea on the list?

Candidate B (What about constructing large hotels?) (Why do you say so?) As for the last idea, I have to say
that I’m against it. I don’t believe that it is a good idea to construct large hotels because there are
plenty of hotels, beach resorts and homestays for accommodation. What do you think?

Candidate A (To agree or disagree) (Why?) I agree with you on this point. I also believe that the locals would
prefer to see other important developments other than constructing large hotels.

Candidate B (What do you say?) You are right. Besides, it would be a waste of money as we are still having
Covid-19 cases and not many tourists can visit.

Lesson 17: Writing STORY Write a mystery story on social media. Real-Life Adaptation

Practice A (L.S. 4.1.4, 2.1.5) SPM-Oriented Part 3: Extended Writing Textbook: page 26-27 PL Example

Your school online magazine is looking for mystery stories. Your story must be about a person’s experience at a
haunted house:

A Haunted House Model
Essay

Your story should include:
• a description of the house
• what happened in the house

Write your story in 200 – 250 words in an appropriate style.

Pre-Writing

You may use the guide given below or your own ideas to complete the pre-writing.

(A) Beginning of Story Unit 2
How to hook your reader’s attention? There is no specific formula for this. The following questions may help
you to determine what the hook is.
• Your character(s) can’t be perfect.
• Where did your story take place?
• What sentence or fact makes people sit up and take notice of your story?
• What is the audience going to care about the most, or be most interested in or shocked by?

Example
One day, Aaron went for a jog. He wanted to exercise and keep fit. So he jogged to a different part of the
neighbourhood. Then, Aaron came upon an abandoned house. It looked scary and was in a run-down condition.
He had a strange feeling about the house but decided to explore it as he wanted some adventure.

Practice 1(a) Now it’s your turn to write
Leela was walking back home one day when it started raining heavily. She needed to find a shelter. Then, she

saw an abandoned house on a hilltop. It looked creepy. Leela bravely entered it, with her heart beating wildly in

her chest. The house looked mysterious and scary.



(B) Middle Events Answer
• What was the event leading up to the conflict?
• How did the character try to accomplish his/her goal?
• To make your story more interesting, include 2-3 challenges the character faced as he/she moved on to the

exciting part of your story. This builds up the tension in the plot before you state what happened.

Example
Aaron easily pushed the door open and entered the house. He shivered a little when a cold wind blew. Even
though it was bright and sunny outside, the house was dark and misty. Aaron could not see much of what was
inside the house.

Practice 1(b) Now it’s your turn to write
Leela shivered as the house felt so cold. She also sneezed a few times as the place was very dusty. Suddenly,

she heard a high-pitched laughter from somewhere in the house. She felt goosebumps rise on her arms.



Password:
cold123

21

(C) Climax
• What was the most interesting part of the story?
• Was there a twist in the story? Did something unexpected happen at the end?

Example
Aaron decided to go upstairs but nearly fell as an old wooden stair broke. He finally managed to reach the
second floor. Suddenly, he stopped out of surprise. There was a black ghostly figure in front of him. It had green,
glowing eyes.

Practice 1(c) Now it’s your turn to write
She wanted to run out but it was still raining heavily. Then, Leela heard a creaking sound at the staircase. She
looked at where the sound came from and saw a ghostly figure coming down the stairs. Leela was so afraid that

she could not move.



Unit 2 (D) The Ending of the Story
• What was the result of the climax? What were the character’s reactions? Was any mystery solved in the end?
• What was the solution to the problem?

Example
The ghost stared at Aaron menacingly. Aaron quickly headed towards the staircase and ran down as fast as he
could. He was almost at the front door when he felt the ghost touching his arm. He ignored the feeling and ran
out of the house. He heard the ghost howling.

Practice 1(d) Now it’s your turn to write
The ghostly figure had almost reached the foot of the stairs. Leela knew she had to leave immediately. She
quickly ran for the front door. Just as she was about to reach the door, she felt a cold, clammy touch on her hand.

She screamed and rushed out of the house.



Further practice: (Story) (E) Conclusion • How was the problem solved? • What is the moral of the story?
(Unit 2: page 24) • How did the story turn out?

Example

(Conclusion) Only after Aaron was out in the street did he look back at the house. He could see the ghost
looking at him through the window. He was glad the ghost could not follow him outside. (Moral of the story)
He learned that he should know his limit. An abandoned house does not mean it is empty!

(248 words)

Practice 1(e) Now it’s your turn to write

(Conclusion) After Leela had left the house, she turned to look behind. She could see the ghostly figure at the

window. It was floating in the air. She was relieved the ghost did not follow her. (Moral of the story) Leela

learned that she needs to bring an umbrella anywhere she goes so that she will not be caught up in such a

situation ever again.

Lesson 18: Literature in Action

Practice A (L.S. 5.1.2) PL

The following are the novels studied in the literature component in English Language.

Dear Mr. Kilmer – Anne Schraff
Captain Nobody – Dean Pitchford
Sing to the Dawn – Minfong Ho

Choose any one of the novels above and answer the following question. Based on the novel you have studied, write
about a character that you like. With close reference to the text, explain his or her qualities that inspire you.

1. In the novel Dear Mr. Kilmer by Anne Schraff, the character that I like would be Hannah Schermer. She is pretty and smart. She lives in a society

where women are not taken seriously when it comes to intellectual discussion but Hannah excels in class. Hannah has a kind heart. Despite the horrid

things that happen to her, she never once retaliates. She respects the teachings of her father. Her father teaches her not to hate but to understand that

people are being ruled by fear. Hannah exudes both grace and gentility, a great contrast compared to some of the girls in her class who are spiteful,

mean and ignorant. Hannah is very cultured because she has been to many places. She also displays humility by apologising to Richard for being Unit 2
mean to him when he brings the card over. Hannah is very distraught at first by the racist treatment from the people of Turtle Lake but she learns to
see kindness and beauty through her friendship with Richard. Hannah never once makes fun of Richard for his love of writing poetry, instead she thinks Video
it is wonderful and admires his friendship with Joyce Kilmer. Hannah also shows compassion when Richard’s friend, Mr. Kilmer is killed in the war.
For a woman facing so much adversity, she truly shines brighter than all of the other characters in the story and that’s why she is such an inspiration.
2. In the novel Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford, the character that I like would be Cecil. Cecil is physically small and weak but he is a spirited boy. He
has such fun energy and it is infectious to those around him. Cecil is humorous; we can see that many times he tries to cheer up Newt when Newt is feeling

down. Cecil is a person who never gives up. He loves to play drums even though he doesn’t own a drum set. He keeps on practising by doing air drumming.

When he finds an old drum in the dumpster, he tries hard to acquire it. His dream is to be a drummer. His determination shows that Dear Mr.
there is very little that could dissuade him from that dream. Even during Halloween, he goes as a famous composer. Cecil is a good and loyal friend. When Kilmer

Newt comes to class wearing Captain Nobody’s costume, Cecil makes everyone think that Captain Nobody is somebody special and famous. He does not laugh

at his friend but makes the best of the situation. Cecil is not someone who makes the best choices, but he has the power of persuasion. Often times, he does not

think ahead like telling Ricky about Ferocious but he is not a coward. Besides that, when Newt has to climb the water tower to get to Reggie Ratner, Cecil Video
creates a diversion to help his friend. Cecil’s characteristics teach us to strive and pursue our dreams regardless of what other people would say about us.

3. In the story Sing to the Dawn by Minfong Ho, the character that I like would be Bao. Bao has many qualities that would inspire you and motivate Captain
you. Bao exudes such positive energy and generosity that it’s hard not to like her. When she meets Dawan for the first time, she offers her a lotus flower Nobody
for free and she has a philosophical principal behind it. She does not grow the lotus, she does not spend any time or effort cultivating it and therefore she

feels she should not take money for it. Although Bao is not granted the chance to go to school or have any formal education, she is smart enough to

know that it’s not right for Dawan to give up her chance just because she is a girl. Bao is also feisty but in a good way. She knows how to fend for Video
herself, to stand up against bullies and she’s not afraid to speak up her thoughts. Dawan; on the other hand, with all the knowledge and education she has

had, still has trouble speaking up for herself. Bao also loves animals and hates the cruelty done to them. She frees most of the caged birds her brother

has caught regardless of the consequences. Bao is brave and free-spirited. She enjoys being herself and feels unhappy when burdened by responsibilities.
Sing to the

Bao would make a really good friend because she is not judgemental and she extends support where needed. Bao is such a likeable character. She makes Dawn

you feel like nothing could faze you and even if it does, all you do is pick yourself up and move on.

PL
Practice A SPM-Oriented Part 3: Extended Writing

Your teacher has asked you to write a story for a school magazine. The story must have the title:

A Scary Encounter

Your story should include:
• a description of the encounter
• why the encounter was scary

Write your story in 200 – 250 words in an appropriate style.
(Beginning of story) One night, Jim was walking home after visiting his friend. He felt tired and decided to take
a shortcut home. The shortcut meant walking through a forest.

Unit 2 (Middle events) Jim had heard rumours that the forest was haunted but he brushed them aside. As he ventured
further into the forest, it was getting darker as there were many trees. Luckily, Jim had a torch with him. He tried
to quickly walk through the forest but it was difficult as there were many roots which kept him tripping. Suddenly,
he saw a glowing figure ahead. He stared at it and was shocked to see it took the shape of a creature with very
sharp teeth and claws. The creature stared threateningly at Jim. Jim stifled a scream and walked quickly away. The

creature gave a low growl.

(Climax) Jim did not look back. Suddenly, he tripped over a root and fell. His knee was bleeding but Jim ignored
it. He quickly picked himself up and began walking again. The creature growled again. It sounded very near. Then
Jim heard the sounds of passing cars. He knew he would soon be out of the forest. Jim was very near the road when
he felt the creature grabbing his leg.

(End of story) Jim pulled hard and ran quickly off. Finally, he was out of the forest.

(Conclusion) Jim felt so relieved. It was a truly scary encounter as the creature had nearly captured him. (Moral
of the story) He learned that better be safe than sorry. He will never take shortcuts ever again.

(250 words)

Other Examples
Examples for Climax

SPM Model Test Part 4
Questions 27 to 32
You are going to read an article about a student who went for a public-speaking course. 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.

A Nerve-racking Day

As the names were announced one by one, Kumar’s heart seemed to beat faster. He felt as if it was amplified
throughout the school hall for all to hear.
Today, Kumar was receiving his SPM results. He practically had butterflies in his stomach. Two weeks ago,
he heard over the news that the results would be released today. Last night, he was restless the whole evening.
(27) H Even at night during bedtime, he had a difficult time falling asleep. He tossed and turned in bed the
whole night. Still, when he woke up this morning, he did not feel tired at all. (28) D He was certain this was
the reason that kept him going.
All the students were assembled in the school hall. They were seated according to their classes. At the front
part of the hall, tables and chairs had already been set up. (29) B Others, like Kumar, sat in silence. When
the class teachers started coming into the hall carrying the result slips, everyone stopped talking. The hall was
so quiet that one could have heard a pin drop. (30) F
The principal first gave a congratulatory speech and expressed her happiness that most of the students of
this year had done well. Then, she left the hall and the class teachers started calling up their students individually
to collect the result slips.
When Kumar heard his name being called, he stood up and walked over to his teacher, with tentative steps. He
tried to read the expression on his teacher’s face as an indication of how he had done but it was expressionless.
(31) C Kumar did not realise that his knuckles had turned white. At that moment, when he finally dared to
look at his teacher, she broke out into a broad smile.
“Congratulations, Kumar! You have achieved excellent results!” she smiled at him.
With trembling hands, Kumar stared blankly at the result slip being handed to him. He could not believe his
eyes. He had done better than he had expected. (32) A He finally felt as if he could breathe again.

A It was only then did he break out into a smile as well. (32)
B Some students chatted with their friends, voicing out their concerns. (29)
C He sat on a chair in front of the teacher and gripped the sides. (31)
D The anxiety of the situation kept the adrenalin rushing through his veins. (28)
E This was the life-changing moment that he had been waiting for.
F The air was filled with tension and suspense. (30)
G At that moment, he decided that this was it.
H It seemed as though nothing he did could distract him. (27)

Part 5 SPM Model Test
Questions 33 to 40
We interviewed six teenagers regarding their thoughts on top online shopping sites in Malaysia. Read the texts below
and answer the questions that follow. (Dotted underlined words are possible correct answers.)

Teens on Famous Online Shopping Sites in Malaysia

A – Kah Chun, 19 years old
I enjoy shopping online at Lazada as it33provides cheaper prices compared to shopping at other online shopping websites
and shopping malls. I feel that I get premium quality39merchandise that is worth my money. Customers get an effortless
shopping experience. For small-time retailers like me, this site offers opportunities for simple and direct access to the
largest customer base in Southeast Asia. Thus, we can get the opportunity to expand our business worldwide.

B – Prema, 17 years old
I am a great fan of Malaysia’s most visited online shopping application, Shopee. It has become a successful
e-commerce start-up since it was launched in 2015. This is due to the mobile and social elements integrated
into the platform. I enjoy using this application as it makes online shopping easy and secure for both sellers and
buyers. In order to differentiate itself, Shopee offers online shopping security through a service called “Shopee
Guarantee” where34it withholds payment to sellers until buyers have received their orders.

C – Rizal, 18 years old
I often visit Mudah.my as we can find almost anything online! You’ll find job listings, properties, used items
and even live animals! As its name suggests, this online classified marketplace is quite simple to use. Buyers
and sellers can look for advertised products according to region. When buying from individuals, it can be hard
to weed out38fraudulent sellers because they don’t have any buyer protection options. Therefore, when I buy
anything here, I always opt for cash on delivery, as I am able to40inspect the goods before making payment.

D – Mei Mei, 17 years old
If you can’t find an item on sites like Lazada or Shopee, chances are you’ll find it on eBay. Previously, eBay wasn’t
very popular in Malaysia as the shipping fees are very expensive. However, this is slowly changing as there are
now more Asian sellers who have joined the platform. They have made shipping more affordable and faster. I find
it a great platform to look for35great deals and hidden gems like antiques and unusual collectibles.

E – Priyanka, 16 years old
As a self-confessed fashion enthusiast, I love to shop online at ZALORA. It is an online fashion e-commerce
platform that aims to36bring the latest fashion to Southeast Asia customers. I love its wide selection of products
that covers every aspect of fashion from skirts to suits, shoes to slippers, sportswear to watches and beauty
products. ZALORA shoppers can shop36according to the latest trends plus the added advantage of fast shipping,
cash-on-delivery policy and free returns.

F – Sharizal, 16 years old
I feel that Lelong is the Malaysian version of eBay. I read that it is one of the most visited online37auction and shopping
websites in Malaysia. As its name suggests, Lelong offers products at reasonable prices. You have a large number of
active sellers to choose from. Founded back in 1998, it requires one to register if you want to buy or sell through this
site. Lelong has a detailed ‘how to’ pages for help. To sell your own products on Lelong, you have to open your own
online store on the site. It also offers assistance with promoting your store and creating discount coupons.

Questions 33 to 36
Which paragraph (A – F) describes a certain online shopping platform?

Statements Paragraph
33 A great site for bargain hunters. A
34 Sellers are paid for purchased goods after the orders are received. B
35 Vintage items can be found here. D
36 Shoppers can stay up-to-date with the current fashion styles. E
