Exploring Maxwell Hill Maxwell Hill is one of the many tourist spots in Perak. It is located about 1250 m above sea level. It is the oldest hill station in Malaysia, built in 1884 by William Edward Maxwell, a British Assistant Resident, in Perak at that time. It is also the wettest place in the country as it experiences the highest rainfall. In 1910, Maxwell Hill became a permanent forest reserve. There are lots to see and do on Maxwell Hill. Beautiful daisies, tulips, roses and dahlias are in full bloom all year-round. Tourists can appreciate the colonial hill station with its panoramic views and cool weather. Taiping Lake Gardens, one of the oldest gardens in Malaysia, is found at the foot of the hill. Tourists can participate in birdwatching. They can also enjoy a cool splash at a waterfall. At the foot of the hill is the oldest zoo in Malaysia, the Taiping Zoo and the Night Safari, where tourists can watch various species of wild animals. Tourists usually take a cab to the foot of Maxwell Hill. From there, they take the government-owned Land Rover provided at a minimal fee to go up the hill. No private vehicles are allowed. The service runs every hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. These days, people are allowed to walk up the hill. However, it will take between four to five hours to reach the peak.

Theme: Health & Environment Getting Fit for Kung Fu If only it were as simple to learn kung fu as it is in ‘The Matrix’. In the science-fiction film, Keanu Reeves’s character becomes a martial arts master in moments after the skills are uploaded directly into his head from a computer. In reality, there are no such shortcuts, and it takes years of training to master kung fu. Nonetheless, the longest journey begins with a single step. First of all, it is essential to have strong legs. Developing leg strength without unnecessary bulk can be achieved through weight training. Rather than aiming to move big weights, it is better to do a large number of repetitions with smaller weights. Besides that, balance is everything in kung fu. Buy a Swiss ball and spend a couple of hours a week working out your core muscles by doing sit-ups and press-ups with it. Kneeling on the ball and trying to stay upright will also help you to master your balance; and kung fu experts can hold their position near indefinitely. The quicker and more controlled your strikes are, the better. Therefore, you should try to develop your fast-twitch muscle fibres with plyometric exercises to improve your muscle coordination. Muscle fibres can be broken down into two main types – slow twitch and fast twitch. The latter are better at generating short bursts of strength, but they tire more quickly. Therefore, they must be trained to improve their efficiency. Apart from that, flexibility is of vital importance. The better it is, the less likely you are to get injured. To this end, try to include joint rotations into your stretching routine before a session. The most important thing to remember is to be patient and persistent. Training twice a week will get you to an intermediate level in around four or five years. Adapted from: The Sunday Times CONTOH

33 English Form 2 Topic 3 Worksheet 4 Unit 8: Good Luck, Bad Luck (PULSE 2) Theme: People & Culture Read the text below and answer questions 1 to 8. Strange Superstitions from around the World Every culture has its own unique set of superstitions and superstitions vary from culture to culture all over the world. Here are some of the superstitious beliefs from the globe. ‘Let spiders live in the morning, kill spiders at night’ is a popular Japanese superstition stating that seeing a spider in the morning brings good luck while such an occurrence brings bad luck at night. One theory is that the spider’s morning visit symbolises a guest during the day, while the nightly encounter symbolises a thief. So if you see a spider at night, it means bad luck for you and you may kill it. Despite its world-class advancement in technology and manufacturing, South Korea, a country that was once rooted in shamanism, is awash with superstitions. In many countries, pigs are often seen as dirty animals but in Korea, they are representative of fertility and wealth. This is because the pronunciation of ‘pig’ is similar to the pronunciation for ‘jade’. Therefore, many Koreans believe that dreaming of pigs is a sign that great riches will soon be bestowed on them. Setting foot on a threshold, however, is believed to bring misfortune. This superstition dates back to the time of the Mongol invasion of Goryeo Korea, when the body of the deceased would remain in the home for some time. Afterwards, he or she would be carried out of the house in a coffin. Once the coffin had crossed the threshold of the front door, the boundary between the living world and the afterlife too, had been crossed. Therefore, it is bad luck for a living person to step on the threshold. Getting pooed on by a bird in England is deemed good luck! Even though there are many birds in the sky, it is supposedly more rare to be pooed on by one than it is to win the lottery. That’s why, if you are one of the ‘lucky’ ones who gets pooed on, it comes as a surprise and is deemed very lucky. It is also a good belief to make good of a bad situation. Besides, you may also have noticed that it rains a lot in the United Kingdom. So carrying an umbrella with you at all times becomes a necessity. However, make sure to never open your umbrella inside, as this is said that bad luck with ‘rain down’ on you. This superstition has lots of history to it, dating back to ancient Egypt when peacock feathers and papyrus were used to protect people from the sun. Opening them when indoors would be seen as an insult to the sun deity ‘Ra’ and you would be cursed. Later, in the Victorian era, umbrellas were constructed with steel spokes and opening one indoors could cause injury or eye loss. Superstition is a very big part of Russian culture. While many superstitions are largely ignored, many more are so common that they have become an inseparable part of everyday Russian etiquette. Many people in Russia believe that yellow flowers are a symbol of sadness, deceit or an impending break-up. So don’t give your date a big yellow bouquet! Doing so is a sign of bad luck and signifies the end of a relationship. However, faded flowers bring new acquisitions. So don’t throw away a bouquet of flowers but keep them for a few days. Flowers that fade in the house bring good news – the person who receives them will get something new pretty soon. CONTOH

The mall will be decorated with thousands of colourful lit lanterns with a lantern parade. According to its complex manager, Mr Wong, more than 500 lanterns will be given away before the parade starts for shoppers to join in. ‘As we all know, lantern or light, symbolises blessings, hopes and wishes in the Chinese culture. Therefore, we would like to use a thousand lights to represent or to bring a thousand hopes and blessings from our mall to our valuable shoppers in this festive season,’ he said. The lantern parade will be flagged off from the main entrance, circulating Vibrant Plaza, together with attractive performances by the Lion and Dragon Dance troupe. There are also many tales around the origin of the festival. The most famous one is about the beautiful Chang’e, who became the goddess of the moon after she took an elixir of immortality from a high-ranking deity. The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, is a 1 000-year tradition, and is the Chinese version of Thanksgiving. It is held on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar when the moon appears at its fullest and brightest. Chinese families will gather during the festive month over fragrant tea. They will eat mooncakes and pomelos to celebrate harmony, family unity and togetherness. Mooncake is a dense, sweet pastry that is baked or steamed, and typically enjoyed with tea. Most mooncakes are filled with lotus paste and salted egg yolk while others contain red bean or date paste, as well as fruit, nuts and seeds.

Simple Methods for Purifying Water Water is life. It’s the truth. Without water, we can’t survive, and in fact, without clean water, surviving is difficult. We need clean water to live. Unfortunately, in this modern world of chemical runoff and contamination, our sources of water are becoming less present and less reliable. How can we have clean water? Luckily, that is completely doable, and lots of folk are already doing it. Here are a few ways for us to join them. 1 The sun Sunlight is a great way to take clear water, without lots of sediments and such, from looking clean to being clean, and it only relies on the planet’s greatest source of energy: the sun. Clean or filtered water should be put into a clear glass container and left in the sun for a minimum of six hours, and the sun will destroy any pathogens that can cause waterborne illnesses. PVC bottles should be completely avoided. 2 Boiling To make sure all bacteria have been killed, the water should be kept boiling for at least five minutes. In order to get rid of solids, metals and minerals, the boiled water should be allowed to settle. Some chemicals will be removed as vapour. Purified water can then be used from the top.

38 English Form 2 Topic 4 Questions 1 to 8 Answer the questions below. Choose no more than three words and/ or a number from the text for each answer. For each question, write your answer in the space provided. 1 Water is equated to life . 2 The three ways to get clean water are the sun, boiling and gravity . 3 Sunlight is one great way to take clear water. 4 Water should be left out in the sun for six hours . 5 Boiling should be done for five minutes to make sure all the bacteria are killed . 6 The boiled water is allowed to settle to get rid of solids, metals and minerals . 7 Filter layers of activated charcoal, sand and small gravel can remove progressively smaller particles . 8 The gravity method can be used if your water is cloudy. Adapted from: https://www.onegreenplanet.org/lifestyle/purify-water-naturally/ 3 Gravity Yes, gravity filters are another good option. Though some are not sure of the final results, many would be content to drink this water compared to tap water. Basically, the design requires a container that allows water to drain out of the bottom and to be poured in at the top. Filter layers of activated charcoal, sand and small gravel remove progressively smaller particles. If water happens to be cloudy or the user is still untrusting, this method can definitely be used to clear it up before utilising one of the other methods to kill the bacteria. Perhaps now it’s a good time to start thinking about how we can purify our own water at home. Most tap water is safe to drink but likely loaded with things we don’t necessarily want in our bodies. Fluoride and chlorine are still added to tap water, and many contaminants still make it through the system. Bottled water is not any better as due to leaching, it is linked to all sorts of health issues. In short, the ability to purify our own water − the source of all life − opens up the opportunity to be much healthier. CONTOH

The robotic drawing arm was designed by a team of researchers, who combined their knowledge of kinetic art, drawing machines and internet-connected microprocessor chips to develop the idea. The arm, dubbed Line-us, mimics the user’s drawing motions to recreate a digital sketch with pen and paper, by connecting to an app via Wi-Fi. ‘At its heart, the machine was developed to be a device for people to play with,’ said Robert Poll, a technologist and one of Line-us’ co-founders. ‘We wanted to create a product that was engaging and fun, rather than something that solved a particular problem or fulfilled a need,’ Poll told Live Science. ‘Our hope is that Line-us encourages people to doodle and draw, but also to find new and creative ways to use it to do things we haven’t thought of.’ Poll said there’s a lot of work involved with moving from working prototypes to a product that can be manufactured, but the researchers are getting ready for the October release of the first 1 000 units for its funders. Line-us is designed to work on iPads, iPhones, Android tablets and smartphones, as well as on Mac and PCs. ‘You can use either a stylus or your finger to make the drawings that the robotic arm will mimic,’ the researchers said. The reseachers have also brainstormed ideas for ‘accessories’ for the current version of the drawing robot. ‘We won’t really know what direction we’ll want to take until we see what people do with the first batch of machines. We’re looking forward to finding out though,’ Poll said. Theme: Science & Technology CONTOH

There’s always something fun to buy, especially when it can be hard to get money in the first place. If you really want to save money though, it will be easier if you set a specific goal for yourself. ✔ Goal Set a specific goal for how much you want to spend. Saving your money will be a lot easier if you have a particular amount in mind. Are you saving up for something? Setting a goal will help you stay motivated, especially as you get closer to reaching that goal! For example, if you want to buy a bike, your goal might be having enough money to buy the bike, plus the price of a helmet and any other safety gear you need. Even if your goal is just to save as much money as you can, you can still set milestone goals. If you are planning to order something online, you’ll usually need to pay for an extra shipping fee as well. ✔ Keep in a safe place Keep your money somewhere safe, like a piggy bank in your closet. If you want to save money, you need to put it somewhere where it can’t be lost or stolen. It’s also a good idea to keep it somewhere out of sight, since you won’t be tempted to spend it if you aren’t constantly looking at it! Don’t keep all of your money in your wallet, since it’s too easy to accidentally lose track of it while you’re out somewhere. Instead, put your money into a piggy bank, an envelope or even a shoebox, and keep it in a secure spot, like your closet or your dresser. ✔ Keep track Make a chart to keep track of how much you have saved. Once you set your goal, draw a long rectangle with RM0 at one end and your savings goal at the other. Mark lines along the chart that represent RM10 or RM20. Every time you add money to your savings, colour in the rectangle or use stickers to show how close you are to reaching your goal! Try putting the chart on your wall or desk where you’ll see it often. This will help you stay motivated to keep saving! You can even decorate your chart with pictures of what you’re saving for. If you’re saving for a new bike, for instance, draw or paste a picture of a bike onto your chart to help keep you focused on what you really want. If you have a smartphone or a tablet, you can even download a savings app like iPiggiBank or PiggyBot to help you keep track of your savings. Questions 1 to 8 Answer the questions below.

Theme: Health & Environment The Best and Worst Time to Eat Fruits One of the healthiest foods for our body is fruits. Along with being the healthiest, they are surrounded by many myths like when and how to eat them. Doctors always recommend to have fruits every day just like your other meals. Fruits are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, thus what can be a better time than morning to have them and get all their nutrients. Morning is considered to be the best time to consume fruits as the digestive system breaks down the fruit sugar quickly and provides our body with all the nutrients. Fruits can serve as one of the best snacks. When eaten as a snack, they stop you from eating junk food. This may help you with weight loss. Having fruits before a workout can provide the body with instant energy required to perform the workout. The powerhouse of energy of fruits can provide you with healthy nutrients required for a workout. After a workout session, your body loses its energy and there can be no better snack than fruits to get that instant energy. Low in calories, high in minerals and fibre, fruits help you fulfil the nutrients required by your body. CONTOH

Adapted from: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/diet/the-best-and-worsttime-to-eat-fruits/photostory/65780168.cms?picid=65780247 Having fruits right before you go to sleep is not a good idea, in fact, it’s the worst. Doing so can increase one’s blood sugar level, which can keep one awake. It’s also recommended to have dinner at least two hours before you sleep because eating meals near your bedtime can lead to indigestion and so can fruits. It’s said a gap of 30 minutes should be maintained between your fruit intake and meals. If eaten right after or right before meals, it may lead to indigestion and your body won’t get all the essential nutrients. Diabetic patients should wait for at least one hour before and two hours after a meal to have fruits. Having fruits along with other meals can slow down the digestion process, which means the fruits sit for longer time in the stomach that can also lead to its fermentation. Fruits are rich in fibre, which get digested slowly and having them with meals slows down the process even more. CONTOH

Benefits of Studying in Groups ✔ Learn faster and effectively Studying together in groups, students tend to learn faster and more efficiently than self-study. Suppose you have difficulty in understanding one section of a chapter, but it may be quite clear to your fellow students. When you study in a group, you can quickly learn the concept by asking questions to your friend. So, you do not have to boggle your mind learning a topic. ✔ Study group promotes creativity Studying in groups helps to promote creativity and critical thinking as questions and explanations arise in debates and discussions. It creates an interactive environment that not only helps to improve knowledge but also reinforces learning. When you study in a group, the chance of missing anything is rare. ✔ Stop procrastinating When you study alone, a sense of procrastination or doing it later might creep in. You might find out several excuses to rationalise postponing your study. You might want to check Facebook and Instagram or take a nap. On the other hand, in a study group environment, there are rare chances of procrastination. Even if you wish to postpone things, there will always be someone who will push you to study. ✔ Break the boredom One of the biggest disadvantages of self-study is boredom. It is not surprising to feel monotonous when you study alone. Boredom will cause you to lose focus and you might engage in some other activities, or again, procrastinate. When you study in groups, monotony and boredom are rare because you have other fellow students to interact and study in a friendly environment that invokes learning. ✔ Resolve problems Imagine a situation when you are trying to solve a problem and you get stuck with no one to help you. When you study a subject, numerous questions may pop up in your mind. However, you have to wait to ask your teacher or tutor to get the answer. Until then the question will bog you down. On the flip side, when you are studying in a group, you have other students to consult and to help you when you are stuck.

There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. For each question, mark the correct answer (A – H). A Garlic, on the other hand, is famous for its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. B However, it is not advisable for asthma patients to consume a lot of garlic. C Ginger is a herb native to India and China. D More and more people are paying increased amount of attention to what they are eating and practising best hygiene. E A good digestion is the real key to weight loss. F Our pantry is often stocked with healing herbs and spices that could do wonders for our immunity. G You may have heard your grandmothers recommending a cup of ginger-garlic tea for so many of your health woes. H A study published in the Journal of Nutrition revealed an association between garlic and fat-burning. Garlic and Ginger for Immunity and Weight Loss We are in the midst of countrywide lockdown, and it is perhaps the first time in many years that the whole world had prioritised health over anything else. As you would know the novel Coronavirus has afflicted millions of people around the world, and this precarious situation has led many countries to announce a lockdown. 1 D Immunity is defined as the balanced state where the body is able to fight disease-causing agents. 2 F Take ginger and garlic for instance; they are so much more than mere flavouring agents for your curries and stew. Ginger’s medicinal properties are very popular in Ayurveda; it is considered as a traditional remedy for indigestion, nausea and bloating. 3 A They are both very potent herbs in themselves; together they can weave magic, especially when it comes to immunity and weight management. Brewing ginger and garlic tea is perhaps one of the best ideas to enjoy their goodness together. According to the book ‘Healing Foods’, ginger’s ‘volatile oils have anti-inflammatory properties similar to those of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), which makes it an excellent remedy for flu, headaches and menstrual pains. It can also lower medication intake in osteoarthritis.’ Garlic has high sulphur content that helps fight infections. It is famous for its antiviral and antiparasitic properties that help ease symptoms of cold and cough. 4 B Ginger-garlic tea is also a great idea to aid in weight loss. Ginger is very effective in keeping your digestive system in good shape. Ginger helps heal the gut, fastens movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract, and reduces bloating and cramps. It is useful in getting the digestive juices flowing. 5 E As for garlic, it is useful in flushing out toxins. Garlic could help rev up your metabolism naturally. It is also known to be an appetite-suppressant. 6 H Drinking the ginger-garlic tea helps you take good advantages of ginger’s and garlic’s antibiotic and anti-inflammatory characteristics. By the way, ginger-garlic tea tastes delicious, particularly with honey and lemon. Matching Gapped Text 5 Topic Unit 9: Take Care (PULSE 2) Theme: Health & Environment CONTOH

E They certainly don’t look cosy and comfy, but they do help reduce bodily heat loss at a pinch. F It adds to one’s sense of control on many dark streets and crowded public space.

Worksheet 2 You are going to read an article about carry-on items that could save one’s life. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences (A – H) to fit each gap (1 – 6). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. For each question, mark the correct answer (A – H). Carry-on Items That Could Save Your Life Travelling light doesn’t have to mean travelling without the essentials that could be useful in an emergency. Space in a carry-on bag is precious, and even for seasoned travellers who know the smartest ways to pack one, deciding what to bring can be tricky. There are the things you need, the things you’d like to have and those little ‘what if’ luxuries that you may not use but sure could come in handy. As anyone who has travelled in the past two decades knows, most airport security points around the world will confiscate liquids above the 100ml limit at the security checkpoints. 1 G Thus, always carry a reusable water bottle that includes a filter. Easy access to water in case you are short of it, especially in an emergency or when in secluded places, is a life-saver. With our phones acting as our lifelines, travelling with one at low battery can be stress-inducing and if an emergency occurs, even dangerous. 2 B It also won’t take up much space in your bag at all. The peace of mind is worth it. 3 H You don’t have to be a germophobe to be put off by the concept of just how many germs reside on airplanes and in airports. For this reason, always carry a bottle of hand sanitiser. 4 A It is totally fine to take through any airports. When it comes to hygiene-related emergencies, you really can’t beat it. Believe it or not, alcohol-based hand sanitiser can even help you get a fire started, which could of course, be essential in a survival situation. If you are headed somewhere without easy access to drinkable water, and a filtered water bottle is too cumbersome for your carry-on, carrying water purification tablets is indeed helpful. 5 D They can be kept in your pocket, which is handy since you are not supposed to take everything with you in an emergency situation on a plane. You might feel like you are preparing for doomsday whenever you pack one of these, but a Mylar rescue blanket could be key to survival in the event of an emergency. 6 E Plus, they are affordable, compact and lightweight – meaning there is virtually no reason why you can’t stash one in your carry-on for those ‘just in case’ moments. In my opinion, all these items are valuable additions to our carry-on luggage – not just because they are pragmatic but because they could actually save one’s life.

Travelling to Malaysia should be on your bucket list for many reasons. With Malaysia’s long colonial history, it boasts an array of colonial architecture. If you’re interested in this blast from the past, there can be no better spot to visit than Melaka. If you’re a beach lover, Redang Island and Perhentian Island are not to be missed. Malaysian jungles are home to some of the most interesting wildlife that can’t be found anywhere else. One top spot to admire wildlife in its natural habitat is in Taman Negara National Park. A visit to Malaysia would not be complete if you’ve not savoured the local authentic street food. You get to titillate your taste buds with delicious blend of flavours and spices.

I have put on a lot of weight recently due to a poor diet. The doctor has advised me to take good care of my health and well-being. Can you share some tips to help me lose weight naturally? Thank you in advance! Derek In about 70 words, write a message to Derek giving him some useful tips. (Suggested answer) Hi Derek, If you want to lose weight naturally, you should be aware of everything that you eat and drink each day. You need to have a balanced diet. So, choose foods that are full of nourishing nutrients. Cut back on sugar and refined carbohydrates. Next, mindful eating is a practice where you pay attention to how and where you eat your food. Many people tend to eat quickly on the run, in the car, studying at their desks and watching Netflix. As a result, they are barely aware of the food they are eating. So, take time to chew and savour your food. This technique helps with weight loss, as it gives your brain enough time to recognise the signals that you are full, which can help prevent overeating. A recent study shows that exercising for 200 minutes per week can help control your body weight successfully. So, get up and exercise regularly. I hope you find all these tips useful.

I appreciate your help and I look forward to hearing from you. Ahila Hi Ahila, I saw the dress too. It is beautiful. I will try to get one for you but not from the online store. There are many reasons why I don’t like purchasing things online. First of all, it might be a scam. You might not get anything after paying for it. Next, you might get a dress of low quality and not the one you saw it on Lazada. I have heard many horrifying stories like this. Online shopping scams involve scammers pretending to be legitimate online sellers, either with a fake website or a fake ad on a genuine retailer site. While many online sellers are legitimate, unfortunately scammers can use the anonymous nature of the internet to rip off unsuspecting shoppers. So be smart and act wise. There are some warning signs that we can detect. For example, a product is advertised at an unbelievably low price, or is advertised to have amazing benefits or features that sound too good to be true. Also, the social media-based store is very new and selling products at very low prices. The store may have limited information about the delivery and other policies. We’ve to be careful.

Hi Adibah, Forming a study group is a great idea. There are many benefits of forming a study group. Firstly, you can compare your notes with your friends. By doing so, you gain greater understanding of that particular subject. Next, a better student can help a weaker one. There will also be a healthy competition in the group. It will create an interactive environment that not only improves knowledge, but also reinforces learning. Being part of a study group helps to combat procrastination. Rather than falling to the personal pressure of procrastination, you can surround yourself with motivated, serious friends who can help get the ball rolling and who can become building blocks to success.

(Suggested answer) A frightening incident I experienced happened last month. I went on my first jungle trekking with my mates, Adrian and Vishnu. The first 40 minutes went as planned. We stopped to look at wild plants like pitcher plants that gulped down insects and flies, wild orchids of every imaginable hue, and some rare insects. The trail that we chose to trek had a picturesque rainforest with plenty of foliage, trees, ferns and wildlife to discover. I even spotted some squirrels, monkeys and other animals within the jungle canopy. Suddenly, three of us noticed that we were alone in the jungle. The trekkers in front of the group had walked off. We tried to catch up with them, but we couldn’t find them. I got so scared that my heart missed a beat because it was getting late. We kept walking along the trail. After 40 minutes, we finally met two trekkers. I was relieved and could finally breathe. The trekkers gave us directions to the meeting point loud and clear. We continued to trek for another 30 minutes. I was very happy when I got out of the jungle and was reunited with the others. Note Expansion 7 Topic How did you do?

You must use the notes below to help you. set a goal for yourself open a savings account make a budget and stick to it save something every day How to save money Write your essay. (Suggested answer) There are plenty of reasons to save money as a teenager. Whether you are looking to save for your first car or college, the most important part of saving as a teen is getting started. First things first, open a savings account. By doing so, you will always have a place to put the money you want to save for later. All banks offer savings accounts, but it is best to find one that offers a high interest rate. Next, save some money every single day, be it one ringgit or fifty cents. This small action is crucial to forming a saving habit later. Get a money box, deposit your money in it and see your money grow. When your money box is full, get your parents take it to the bank and put it in your savings account. To make saving easier, set a specific and measurable goal. For example, you would like to have a graduation trip in a few months’ time. Draw up your budget and break the amounts into smaller monthly or weekly goals. This will make saving feel more attainable. Last but not least, if you know how much you need to save in order to meet your goal, you will be able to make a clear budget that prioritises your savings. Then, stick to your budget. Do not overspend. Getting into the habit of budgeting now will be a big help when you take on more bills and other financial responsibilities. As you can see, getting into the saving habit is not impossible with the right mindset and self-discipline. So start while you are young and you might develop some good, lifelong habits.

63 English Form 2 Topic 7 Worksheet 3 Unit 8: Good Luck, Bad Luck (PULSE 2) You have been talking about superstitions with your classmates. Theme: People & Culture In about 100 words, write an essay about the superstitions. You must use the notes below to help you. reasons people believe in them what are they why you believe/ not believe in them what are the examples Superstitions Write your essay. (Suggested answer) Superstitions are beliefs that are not based on scientific knowledge, but are connected with old ideas about magic and supernatural forces. In this way, individual beliefs and experiences drive superstitions, which explains why they are generally irrational and often defy current scientific wisdom. Superstitions have been ingrained in many people’s lives since the very beginning. Parents teach them to their children when they are young. They are part of the lore of any culture, and the basic process of socialisation is a major part of it. The number 13, black cats, breaking mirrors, walking under ladders or saying ‘God bless you’ when someone sneezes, may all be the things many actively avoid. Next, superstitions can be a soothing control mechanism. We live in a world where we can’t always control the outcome. Superstitions tend to emerge in those contexts. You do everything you possibly can to ensure that things will work out. For example, a schoolboy writes a good examination paper with a certain pen, and from then on that pen is lucky, or a horse player may be convinced that black horses run well for him. In my opinion, as a progressive society, we should not believe in these superstitions because they are not based on any scientific facts and research. Being obsessed with them might hinder our advancement towards modernisation as a community. How did you do?

You must use the notes below to help you. how you felt the activity you did the lesson you learnt where it happened My childhood activity Write your essay. (Suggested answer) As a child, we tended to do things without guile and innocently did whatever we were told by parents and older siblings. Most of the time I did not understand the things I did, but I do remember that I had a lot of carefree days. Festivities were grand events celebrated on a big scale. A particular incident on New Year’s Day comes to mind whenever I see my cousin, Jonas, now. We had been given sparklers and told to be careful as we did not want to burn the house down. I was excited as usual and could not wait for my sparkler to be lit. Those days, New Year was not New Year without firecrackers. Not realising that I was standing near a box of firecrackers, I lit my sparkler. A spark fell into the box and to my horror, they started cracking right there in the middle of the living room! I ran to the main door still holding my sparkler. Oh no! My sparkler got caught in the red cloth hanging on the doorway and burnt a hole in it. Jonas who was standing with his hands over his ears saw it. He blackmailed me into carrying his school bag for two weeks. I was punished and was banned from playing with sparklers in the house forever. I never went near a sparkler or firecracker after that. Non-Textbook-Based Unit Theme: People & Culture How did you do?

In about 100 words, write an essay about your dream holiday destination. You must use the notes below to help you. Destination Holiday Dream how would you feel what would you do there where would you like to go why would you go there Write your essay. (Suggested answer) Everyone has their own dream holiday destination. My dream holiday destination is Nepal, the land of the mountains. Whenever someone talks about Nepal, the first thing that strikes their mind is mountains. And why shouldn’t it? Nepal is, after all, home to the highest peak in the world – Mount Everest. I would like to go there simply because I want to see the Mount Everest in person. I like mountains very much and it would be a dream come true to see the highest mountain in the world up close and personal. No doubt, I will be captivated by the image of mountains shining in the golden sunrises and sunsets welcoming me to the majestic Himalayan territory. Nepal is not home to just the highest peak in the world, but also to 8 of the 14 highest peaks in the world. The peaks and mountain ranges adorn the Himalayan region of the country, including Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Annapurna and many others that provide a list of activities to make my holiday in Nepal a memorable one. If I have the chance to go there, I would like to join an expedition to hike to the Everest Base Camp. With the diverse terrain and spectacular mountain scenery, Everest Base Camp offers the best trekking adventure in the world. While trekking, I will get to witness the ever-smiling snow-covered peaks very closely. What a privilege! I like to take photographs and I would find the mountains to be a rich source of subjects for beautiful nature photography with animals, birds and flowers. Besides, I would also like to experience the local culture and cuisine. I think I would really have a great time in Nepal. If I get to join the expedition to the Everest Base Camp, it would be a great personal achievement and a moment I would treasure forever. How did you do?

66 English Form 2 Topic 7 Worksheet 6 Unit 7: Journeys (PULSE 2) Are flying cars a practical mode of transportation? Theme: People & Culture In about 100 words, write an essay about the benefits and risks of flying cars. You must use the notes below to help you. Write your essay. (Suggested answer) Flying cars may no longer be something you see or read about in science-fiction fantasies. Zipping around in flying cars sounds exciting but is it really practical? There are obvious benefits but do they outweigh the risks? Firstly, flying cars can take people to their destinations quicker, plus people do not have to spend hours stuck in jams. People also save time on travel and can use this extra time to do something meaningful. With flying cars, people can travel further just like a small aeroplane. On the other hand, how safe are flying cars? When a car has an engine problem or a punctured tyre, drivers can quickly pull over to the side of the road. If people are in their flying cars, and there is a problem, they may not be able to land quickly and safely. Being in the sky during bad weather is another danger. A strong gust of wind, air temperature or different weather conditions can affect the way the flying car performs. In conclusion, I think flying cars pose too many risks to be a practical mode of transportation. How did you do?

67 English Form 2 Topic 7 Worksheet 7 Unit 9: Take Care (PULSE 2) You have been asked to write an essay on how to recycle paper on Theme: Health & Environment World Environment Day. In about 100 words, write an essay about ways to recycle paper. You must use the notes below to help you. Write your essay. (Suggested answer) In conjunction with World Environment Day, I would like to share some tips about how to recycle paper. When you have finished reading the newspaper, don’t throw it away. Our throwaway culture is leaving a massive hole in the Earth. Using an old newspaper to clean windows works better than a piece of cloth for preventing streaks. Next, used paper can be used for cat’s litter tray liners. Place sheets of paper at the bottom of your cat’s litter tray, you will save on litter, and any odours and wetness will be absorbed. Newspaper is a great substitute for bubble wrap. Place the fragile contents in a box and fill any remaining space with crumpled paper. If you have a lot of old paper, use a paper shredder to make piles of great packaging material. Last but not least, when using stain-prone products such as paint or shoe polish, place used paper down before you start to prevent soiling your carpet or furniture, and protect against spills.

In 1994, (0) the murder case rocked a small island off the coast of Canada. A 32-year-old woman named Shirley Duaguay, went (9) miss. Her body was found months later. Most people believed that her (10) abused estranged husband, Douglas Beamish, was to blame. However, there was no evidence to convict him. That is until someone found a bag in the woods (11) contain a blood-stained jacket, training shoes and some white cat hairs. The victim’s husband owned a white cat named Snowball. A geneticist ran a DNA test (12) so matched the cat hairs from the bag with Snowball’s DNA. Paired (13) up some evidence from the victim’s body, Snowball’s ‘testimony’ was enough to convict Beamish. It was the first time non-human DNA was used in a murder case. Since then, pet DNA has helped solve many violent crimes. In 1925, doctors in Alaska faced a deadly dilemma. A diphtheria epidemic was poised to sweep through Nome. The only serum that could save them (14) is in Seattle.
