We have already passed twenty years into the new millennium. So, if anyone asks, ‘Grocery shopping
online?’It is indeed possible. Many retail outlets offer 24/7 online shopping. This means that you can shop
from home anytime you want. Nowadays, no minimum order is required. Although there are delivery charges,
you save on petrol and parking costs. You also save lots of time looking for the things you want to buy.
If you want to go and get your shopping done by going to the shops, you should go at night – well after
dinner. Some retailers are open until 1 a.m. There will be less traffic and more parking spots. You will spend
less time on the road.
It is time to be a smart shopper. Comparing prices to make sure you are getting a good deal is being a
smart shopper. However, it is also important to spend within your limits.

A. Complete the table. Use a word from the text. LS: 3.1.3

Meaning Word

1 a bargain deal

2 the least quantity minimum

B. Complete the sentences with words from the text. LS: 3.1.2

A TWO-WHEELED ADVENTURE
Some of my friends and I love travelling. One memorable
trip we had was going on an epic two-wheeled adventure
in Kiulu, Sabah. We realised then that there are times when
we do not need to spend a lot money to travel. All we need
is the strength to explore the world differently. We were
actually surprised at how much we got to know a place
on a bicycle. It was a great way to travel. We enjoyed the
fresh air on the open road. We didn’t need maps or phones
to guide us. We each had an action camera mounted on our
bicycle bars, though.
The bicycle tour took us half a day to enjoy the beautiful
countryside. Firstly, we were briefed on the things to do and
things that we should not do. We were also taught basic hand signals. After that, there was a short question
and answer session. The journey took us across bridges to venture into the rural areas of Kiulu. We saw
a water buffalo on the way. Then, we took a break at Tombung Village. Here, we witnessed the daily life
of the local community. We were welcomed into a native Dusun house where our host served us light
refreshments. We later continued our journey with a visit to a local farm and a small rubber plantation. Our
journey ended at a beautiful riverside. We took a short dip in the river and then relaxed on the riverbank
where lunch was served.

1 What does the phrase ‘two-wheeled’ refer to?

A A bicycle
B A motorcycle

2 How long was the bicycle tour?

A One day
B Half a day

3 Where did the writer have light refreshments?

A At a native Dusun house
B On the riverbank

4 When was lunch served?

A During the tour
B At the end of the tour

BELUM ADVENTURE CAMP

It’s an amazing place to stay here in Banding Island,
Gerik, Perak. My family, and I had a very pleasant
time during our stay in a remote place in the middle
of a rainforest. The staff were extremely friendly, and
they soon became a part of our family. Besides that,
the food was freshly cooked, and the accommodation
was very comfortable. I recommend this place,
especially for those who love nature.
We were picked up with their boat and we had
a wonderful trip over the lake until we reached our
campsite. We then explored the jungle. That night,
we experienced traditional style camping, complete
with a campfire and BBQ meal. The next day, we
went jungle trekking and spotted an animal salt lick. We also visited an Orang Asli settlement.
I had never thought that I would experience night and day in the jungle. It was a memorable
time with my family. We enjoyed the adventure activities like canoeing, high-rope walking and even
tried out the flying fox. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy nature. I rate this
place with ★★★★★

We were classmates for a long time because we went to the same primary school. Now we

those with the latest designs. So, I have a collection of beautiful notebooks. Apart from that,
I cycle in the evenings. My brother loves cycling too. We usually go cycling together around
our residential area. My family is fond of going for short adventure camps because we need
to escape from the hustle and bustle in the city. So, short trips to the Malaysian forests allow
us to appreciate nature and relax at the same time.

Reading Non-textbook Based

A. Read the article. LS: 3.1.2

Electric bicycles are modified bicycles. In each bicycle, there is a small electrical engine that needs
the power to work, and this power comes from light peddling. It is faster than a traditional bicycle
and does not emit any gases that cause pollution. Yet the disadvantages of this type are its complexity
which means that this bicycle consists of many parts that make repairing it much harder.
An electric car is simple in terms of how it works. There is a battery in the car which stores
electricity. Once the car works, the electrical current powers the engine. It can be charged once a
day. An electric car does not emit any gases that cause pollution. Besides that, it is affordable, and
recharging the battery does not take much time.
With most of the governments supporting the shift towards eco-friendly transportation, green or
eco-friendly trains have become a necessity. Electrical trains work with hanging wires and electrified
rails that do not emit any gases. An electric train can go up to 321 kilometres per hour which saves
a lot of time. It is also much more efficient in connecting destinations with each other. However,
any failure in electricity supply would lead to train malfunction.

B. Complete the sentences. Use no more than three words from the text. LS: 3.1.2

1 All the three types of transportation: the electric bicycle, electric car and the electric train do not cause
pollution because they do not emit any gases .
2 An electric car is powered by the electricity stored in a battery.
3 A disadvantage of the green train is that there would be a train malfunction when there
is a failure in electricity supply.

C. Fill in the table with appropriate words from the article. LS: 3.1.3

Meaning Word

1 to change somewhat the form or qualities modified

2 two or more cells are connected to work together to produce battery

electricity

3 having a positive effect on the environment or at least not causing eco-friendly

If your brother likes to take things apart and put them back together again, I am sure he will like
the build-your-own-computer kit for beginners. It would be perfect for him. The kit comes with an
easy-to-follow manual. Be sure to buy the latest version. However, you must note that the computer
does not come with accessories, such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard, or cooling fan. You may need
to buy those items as well.

• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea – Jules Verne
• The Swiss Family Robinson – Johann David Wyss

• Why do you like this character?
• Describe the personality traits you like about this character.
• What did the character do?
You may begin your first line as given below:

In the story 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea

, I find Captain Nemo's

character interesting because he is such a mysterious person. No one seems to know of his existence.
However, from the story, I notice that he is very good at technology. For example, he has been able
to make use of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs to create an incredible submarine which is
called the Nautilus. The Nautilus manufactures its own electricity. It is also able to produce oxygen
that enables it to remain submerged for a long time. He has also thought of making food from
some sea fibres. There are also cigars made of a special type of seaweed. Captain Nemo even has
air guns that allow him to go hunting with his crew. He is indeed very creative and intelligent. His
inventions are thousands of years ahead of time, and thus I find Captain Nemo interesting.

Read the text. Then, answer the questions below. LS: 3.1.2

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is situated in the state of Sabah on the edge of the Kabili Forest
Reserve. There are usually buses which come from Sandakan directly to Sepilok. The bus journey takes
about 45 minutes. Taxis from Sandakan Airport take around 20 minutes, and if you are coming from
Kota Kinabalu, the journey by bus takes 5 hours. However, there are frequent flights from Kota Kinabalu
to Sandakan which takes 45 minutes.
The centre was set up in 1964 by Barbara Harrison. It was the first centre in the world to devote itself
to the rehabilitation of orphaned orangutans. The Sepilok Reserve is about 43 square kilometres in area,
situated at the lowland of the equatorial rainforest. Here, care is given to young orangutans orphaned due to
illegal logging and deforestation. The rehabilitation process takes up to seven years and requires dedication
and commitment. A baby orangutan is taken care of like a human baby.
The orangutans have to develop skills such as climbing. So the centre places the youngsters with older
orphans who will show them the skills. They are eventually released into the surrounding forest reserve
where they spend most of their time. They will sometimes return to the centre to eat. Visitors are not allowed
to touch the orangutans, because they are very vulnerable to human diseases. Human contact is also kept
to a minimum to avoid unnecessary risks to visitors. Orangutans are very strong, and wild animals can be
unpredictable.

1 Describe how a visitor from Kota Kinabalu can reach Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.
A visitor from Kota Kinabalu can take a bus that takes 5 hours or catch a flight that takes 45 minutes.

2 How do the orangutans usually become orphans?

They usually become orphans because of illegal logging and deforestation.

3 Describe one way how the young orangutans are taught skills to survive.
The young orangutans are kept with older orphans that teach them the skills.

4 Why do you think human contact is not encouraged? Analysis

The animals may get infected by human diseases, and sometimes wild animals can be dangerous to
humans. (Accept any suitable answer.)

Read the following story about an eventful trip. Then, write about your eventful trip in the space
below. LS: 4.1.3 Creation

During the last school holidays, I went to Kuala Selangor. I visited Melawati Hill. On top of the hill is
the Kuala Selangor Lighthouse, also known as Altingsburg Lighthouse which can be seen clearly from
far. The hill is also home to silver leaf monkeys. There are so many of them there. The silver leaf
monkeys are friendly. Feeding the monkeys was a special experience for me. I did not know that they
would start to climb all over us as we started to feed them. My cousin playfully placed the fruit on my
head, and when the monkey came to grab the fruit, it grabbed my hair. I was scared, and I started running.
Then the monkey got scared too. The monkey held onto me tightly, covering my eyes. I stumbled and fell.
The monkey let go of me and ran for its life. I had some injuries on my face and some parts of my body.
I realised I needed to be more careful in future.

Last weekend, my family and I visited a small coastal village northwest of Kuala Lumpur. The village is
known for its attractions alongside the Selangor River which runs through the village. So we arranged for
an eco-friendly rowing boat for our tour. A local boatman was our guide. He escorted us. The boat ride at
night was such a beautiful experience. On this river, we spotted the famous fireflies. Their flashing
lights sometimes synchronised, and the overall effect was just like the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree.
I stood up and tried to catch one of them. Unfortunately, I lost my balance and almost fell into the river.
Luckily, the boatman got hold of me, and I was alright. I was embarrassed but grateful that I did not get wet.

A. Read the text below.

ARE YOU A FUTURE WRITER?

Are you an avid reader? Do you love the smell of books and hearing the sound of words being strung
into a sentence like a melody? If your answer is yes to both questions, then you have already taken
your first step to becoming a writer.
First of all, you need to read as many literary genres as possible. Extensive reading will help
you develop and gain a wide vocabulary. Many famous writers today are aware of the importance of
vocabulary. So they read as much as possible to strengthen their grasp on vocabulary. If you follow in
their footsteps, you will have a wide vocabulary that will help you to express yourself easily.
As you read more books, you may notice that you have preference over particular genres. You may
even be drawn to certain writers’ style of writing. Then as you write, you may find yourself imitating
their writing style. It is wrong to imitate another writer’s style of writing, but this is perfectly normal
when you are just starting to write. Many veteran writers began their career this way because it helped
them find their own voice in writing. As you imitate a writer’s style of writing, you will find yourself
tweaking the words and sentence structures to make them into your own style.
Most writers are naturally observant. Sitting at a corner of the park doing nothing but
people-watching may even become part of their daily job. Being observant means watching people,
situations or events, and then thinking critically about what you see. If you are observant enough, you
may come up with ideas to write more often. In fact, it will even expand the way you view the world.
Many people think writing is difficult, but you will never know if you have never tried it. So,
whenever you feel like sharing a story, just grab a pen and start writing.

B. Based on the article, write True or False. LS: 3.1.2

1 People who love to read are potential writers. True

2 We can broaden our vocabulary by reading widely. True

3 It is acceptable to keep copying another writer’s style of writing. False

4 Most writers go to the park to write. False

5 Almost everyone thinks writing is difficult. True

C. Refer to a dictionary to write out the meaning of each word.

1 avid – keen
2 imitate – to copy
3 preference – liking something more than anything else
4 veteran – a person who has a lot of experience

Read the passage. Complete the table. LS: 3.1.2

The Gawai Dayak festival is celebrated annually on 1 June in Sarawak. ‘Gawai’ means ‘ritual’ or ‘festival’
and ‘Dayak’ is a collective name for the tribes of Iban, Bidayuh, Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit, Murut, and more.
The tribes prepare for the festival by brewing tuak (rice wine) and making traditional delicacies like penganan
which are cakes made from rice flour, sugar and coconut milk.
On the eve of Gawai, they roast glutinous rice in bamboo known as ngelulun pulut. Then, the celebration
starts with a ceremony called Muai Antu Rua. This ceremony is performed to cast away the spirit of
greediness. Then at around 6.00 p.m., the offering ceremony or miring will take place. The feast chief will
thank the gods for the good harvest, ask for guidance, blessings and long life as he sacrifices a cockerel.
After that, dinner will be served.
At the stroke of midnight, a gong will be sounded. The tuai rumah will then lead everyone in drinking
the Ai Pengayu which is tuak for long life and they will wish each other ‘long life, health and prosperity’.
This is followed by a procession to welcome the spirits known as Ngalu Petara by walking up and
down the entire length of the longhouse. At this point, there will be dancing and traditional music being
played. Pantun (poetry) will also be recited. The activities for the next day may include cock-fighting,
blowpipe demonstrations and ngajat (dancing) competitions. On this day, the homes of the Dayaks will
be open to visitors.

Read the review about Kellie’s Castle. Then, write a three-paragraph review about an interesting place
that you have visited recently. You may use the given review as an example. LS: 4.1.1 Creation

KELLIE’S CASTLE
Last Saturday, my family and I visited Kellie’s Castle in Ipoh, Perak. Although the castle was built a
long time ago, it still looks grand with its Moorish architecture.
The castle has a linen room, a prayer altar, a wine cellar, and an elevator shaft. The rooftop opens
up to a tennis court and a courtyard which were meant to entertain guests. From the rooftop, you can
view the gardens and the Kinta River.
I enjoyed visiting Kellie’s Castle because the place brought me back to a time and place in the
past. The only problem with Kellie’s Castle is that you have to be very careful when you are going up
as there are no handrails that you can hold on to for support.

THE NATIONAL MUSEUM

Last Sunday, my family and I visited the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur. The museum has displays of
Malaysian civilisation. It is spread across four galleries in a chronological manner.
The prehistory gallery shows how the Malay Archipelago was formed, and you can also see the
findings of many important prehistoric archaeological sites in Malaysia. In the Malay Kingdoms Gallery,
you can find out about the empire of Malacca which was a centre for the spice trade during the 15th century.
In 1511, the empire fell to the Portuguese, and it was the start of 446 years of foreign rule by the Dutch,
British and Japanese. We can see this at the Colonial Era Gallery. In the last gallery, which is the Malaysia
Today Gallery, you can see the sights and hear the sounds in the documentary, Road Towards Independence.
I found my visit to the museum educational as I learned a lot about Malaysian history. I would not
mind going there again.

A. Read the following article. Tick (✓) for statements that are true and cross (✗) for statements that
are false. LS: 3.2.1

If you want to get rich, you need to know that certain habits tie people down to a life of low income.
Rich people are, however, goal setters. They list what they want to achieve daily, weekly, and monthly.
They can tell you where they want to be in twenty years’ time. Many poor people live without a plan.
Without a plan, we are like leaves floating in the air. The bottom line is you don’t have to be rich to
have a plan.
The simplest way to make money is to save and invest. It is like planting a seed and watching it
grow into a tree. If you do not have enough money to pay your bills and cannot save, the solution is
to make more money. Most rich people have at least three different streams of income. Poor people
usually have only one income. They put all the eggs in one basket.
Rich people make time to read. They read educational and self-improvement books. Success needs
growth, which comes from reading and educating yourself daily. Apart from that, you will succeed in
life if you surround yourself with the right type of people. That means people who are encouraging,
positive, curious, and helpful.
You need to live a healthy lifestyle. Making money is hard work. Taking care of your health and
finances go hand in hand. Remember, nobody is perfect. The key is to have more good habits than bad
ones.

1 To become successful, you must have a goal or a plan. ✓

Extra Practice
2 Poor people can make a plan. ✓

3 The easiest way to earn money is by saving and investing. ✓

4 If you cannot save money, you cannot make more money. ✗

5 Rich people do not have to read educational books. ✗

B. Explain what the writer means by the phrase ‘put all the eggs in one basket’. Analysis

To put all the eggs in one basket means that you are hoping for success with only one plan of action.
The writer meant to say that you should make and act on different plans for a better chance to succeed.

The Akha Hill Tribe in Thailand

The Akha people came to Thailand over a hundred years ago. They live in small villages on the mountains
of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. To this day, they have managed to preserve their culture and traditions,
and speak their own language.
Strong family ties are important for the Akha people. Every one of the Akha men can remember his
ancestors of over fifty generations to the first Akha. The Akha way practises ancestor worship. They also
have a deep relationship with the land. They generally live in bamboo houses raised on low wooden stilts
in hilly areas. One side of the hut is for the women, and the other is for the men.
Original Akha houses are getting harder to find. Traditionally, villages are entered through a wooden
and bamboo spirit gate, designed to keep out unwelcome spirits. The Akha people are expert farmers who
plant mountain rice, corn, and soybeans in seasonal shifts. The most famous festival of the Akha is the
swing festival, which takes place at the peak of the rainy season.

Complete the following table.

Choose no more than three words and/or a number from the text for each answer. LS: 3.1.1, 3.1.2

I am planning a wild Borneo trip. My cousins came up with this idea.

Since you have been there, please let me know of things that I should

Dear Melissa,

I’m glad to advise on your travel plans. You will be exploring the tribal culture of the region. You certainly
do not need any experience to go on this trip as there are guides to show you everything you need to know.
The tribe people will show you their way of life. You do need to be quite fit, though. You must be prepared
for the trekking part, which can be difficult. You have to walk far in the hot weather.

I think you should be fine. I hope that you have a great adventure!

From,
Anis

PENANG: In the 2004 tsunami, S. Thulaasi was only 22 days old when she was swept out to the sea. With
the second wave, she then floated back to shore, still asleep on her mattress. When her father, Suppiah,
recalled the heart-stopping moment, he said he first saw two waves frothing like soap water in the distance.
About 10 minutes later, he saw a large wave approaching the shore. In seconds, it got closer and looked
like a towering wall of water. He shouted for everyone to run, but the tsunami hit before many tourists
could even get up.
The wave instantly took the lives of 52 people in Penang and injured 141 others. The tsunami also
fractured Suppiah’s hip, tore off the front wall of his shack, filled his bedroom with seawater, and swept
Thulaasi and her mattress out to the sea. His older daughter, Kanchana, was pushed by the wave up to the
hill slope. She held on to the plants and suffered scratches. Suppiah could not find Thulaasi anywhere. He
was getting frantic as he heard many people screaming and shouting.
Less than 15 minutes later, another large wave surged towards, land and again there was panic on the
beach. When the second wave reached the shore, someone on the slope above Suppiah shouted to him,
‘Your baby! Your baby is coming back!’ Thulaasi was still sleeping on her mattress. Suppiah held her close
and cried in relief. ‘I believe in God and divine intervention,’ Suppiah said emotionally.

Read the following interview about safety tips during an earthquake.

Host: Hello, everyone. Let’s welcome Professor Halim to talk about safety tips during an earthquake.
Prof. Halim: Thank you for inviting me!
Host: Well, listeners, have you ever imagined this? You are doing your homework in the living room,
and suddenly the ground beneath you starts moving. You are in an earthquake! So Professor,
what should a person prepare before an earthquake takes place?
Prof. Halim: You must have an emergency disaster plan as it can save lives. Choose a place in your home
where you can be safe. It is good to get under strong furniture.
Host: That’s interesting. What else?
Prof. Halim: Besides that, practise these three steps; drop, cover and hold on.
Host: What does that mean?
Prof. Halim: It means that you get down under something strong, hold on and cover yourself. Other than
that, move fragile objects to a lower shelf.
Host: What about during an earthquake?
Prof. Halim: Do not run outside. The walls of the building can collapse and windows can shatter. Stay
indoors and hold on to something strong to protect yourself.
Host: What about after the shaking stops?
Prof. Halim: Check for any injuries. If there is a need, call for help.
Host: Well, that’s all for today. Thank you so much, Professor Halim.

1 Hari, 65, was working in her field when the earthquake hit. It threw her to the ground. She and
her family members could not grab anything from their house. She said the ground was shaking
and there was dust everywhere. The earthquake left her family of 15 homeless. Her neighbours
too lost their homes.

2 John, 70 and his wife, Jan Pascoe, 65, were trapped outside their home in Santa Rose on Monday
while their neighbourhood burned around them. They had nowhere to run to or hide when they
made the decision to seek shelter in the blackened, debris-filled pool next door. Due to their
quick thinking, the couple was able to avoid the deadly heat and embers.

3 Sam Canaday, a teacher, had just seen the last of her class of five-year-olds leave when she
heard tornado sirens. Her own daughter, Kali, was at the same school. Kali’s teacher, Jennifer,
followed the standard procedure and moved the ten children into the hallway. She got them to
kneel with their elbows on the ground and hands over their heads. That protected the children
until the tornado was over.

4 Floods were reported in Mak Mandin and Taman Cantik in mainland Penang. Areas such as
Ayer Itam, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Datuk Keramat, Jalan Thean Teik, Relau, Jalan Masjid
Negeri, Jalan Lumba Kuda, Kampung Kubur, Teluk Bahang, Jalan Perak and Bayan Baru were
badly affected. A landslide was also reported in Tanjung Bungah. Several cars were damaged but

(Suggested answer)
One day, when I was at school, something unexpected happened. My friends and I were studying
in class when we heard loud sounds coming from the roof. As we looked out of the windows, we saw
small pieces of ice falling from the sky. Most of us wanted to dash outside, but our teacher stopped us.
Soon, it seemed like the sky was falling. Many people who were outside ran for cover. What
seemed like hundreds of pieces of ice were scattered all over the ground. Then the size of the ice got
bigger and bigger. Some were the size of ping pong balls. By then, everyone had found shelter inside the
school building, so no one was injured. We watched the hailstorm and were completely mesmerised.
None of us had expected a hailstorm to happen in Malaysia.
Later, once it was over, we cautiously went outside. The damage was shocking. There were broken roof
tiles on the ground everywhere we went. The ice also shattered a lot of windows. We had to be very careful,
especially near the parking lot because of the broken car windows. In the end, the teachers decided to
cancel all classes. Instead, we had a gotong-royong. Together, we cleaned up the school.

Reading Non-textbook Based

A. Read the passage below. Tick ( ✓ ) the places where you may or may not bargain. LS: 3.1.2

The Art of Bargaining

Bargaining or haggling is a common practice all over the world. It is the act of asking for a lower price
for a product that you wish to buy. However, some cultures consider it as an art, but some take it as
an insult. Thus, we should take note of the times and places where you cannot bargain.
Asians are very familiar with bargaining for goods and services, especially in flea markets and
shops. Some shop owners offer a discount, even before they encourage patrons to make a purchase.
However, be careful not to bargain for prepared meals in Malaysia, Indonesia and neighbouring countries
as food is seen as a precious daily necessity, and negotiating for its price is undermining its value. If
you happen to be in air-conditioned shopping malls or hypermarkets where prices are fixed, it is almost
impossible to haggle for a lower price.
Some people claim that they are very good at bargaining. This is indeed an art, and it takes a lot
of charm to excel in it. However, be careful not to offend the seller by asking for a very low price, or
walking away when you do not agree with the price offered.
In some places, you could even get into trouble because of it. You should only bargain when you
find the price offered is a bit high, or when you really intend to buy the product. Apologise politely
before you leave the premises if you disagree with the final price.

Places May bargain Not advised to bargain

B. Write an essay about your weekly allowance and how you spent it last week. Creation

Every day, my mother gives me RM5.00, so I get RM30.00 for my weekly allowance. Even though
I only go to school five days a week, sometimes I have to attend extra curricular activities on Saturdays.
Normally, I would spend around RM15.00 for food, but I only spent RM5.00 last week. I brought food
from home to save money. It was my mother’s birthday last Sunday, so my siblings and I chipped in
to buy her a present. I gave my sister RM10.00. I also spent RM10.00 on my phone. I am very proud
of myself because I managed to save RM5.00.

A. Read and understand the text on drone technology.

What is drone technology? There are many types of drones. They can be highly advanced used by big
companies or the simple remote-controlled ones that children play with in the park.
Drones are used in many areas such as for filming, monitoring by the army, and recreational
activities. Drones are also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). These are mostly used in
situations that are dangerous or difficult to reach by human pilots. Drones are also cheaper to buy than
airplanes.
Although there are advantages, there are some disadvantages. When drones are used in areas with
many people, there is a risk of accidents or damage. This can happen due to the system not working
well or hacking. Improvements are still being made on drones to lessen accidents that can affect the
health and safety of people.

B. Write True or False for each statement below. LS: 3.1.2

1 Simple drones are the remote-controlled ones that a child can handle. True

2 Drones are used by the army as well as the people who make films. True

3 Human pilots are better at reaching dangerous and difficult situations. False

4 Using drones is more expensive than using airplanes. False

5 Drones can be hacked, causing them to not work properly. True

6 Drones today are completely safe to use, so nothing can improve them now. False

I admire Alexander Graham Bell because he has made a huge difference in our lives. I cannot imagine living
without a phone! I respect the fact that he invented the telephone and formed a telephone company at the
young age of 29.
He was curious about the things around him. He kept on learning and exploring new things. He continued
to test out ideas and led a busy life. He engaged in a variety of scientific activities involving kites, airplanes,
and many more.
I find him amazing. I feel that the world today would not be the same without his discoveries. Without

Life in an Orang Asli Settlement

The Orang Asli settlement in Slim River is surrounded by lush green hills, with a stream running through
the village. The Orang Asli are very approachable, respectful and friendly. They always welcome visitors
with open arms. Some of them live in traditional homes made of bamboo, wood and palm trees. The modern
houses are made of bricks and cement.
Even though some Orang Asli travel to town for work, many of them prefer collecting fruits
and other produce from the forest. The Orang Asli have learnt to survive in the thick tropical
rainforest. Their survival skills have been passed down from generation to generation. Starting a fire, making
poisoned arrows, firing weapons, and acquiring hunting skills are essential for their survival in the forest.
Even though the Orang Asli live a simple life, they are happy and satisfied. The children run around
the village in the evenings. They bathe and catch fish in the stream. Theirs is a carefree life.
Whenever there is a celebration, the whole village will be bustling with life. Everyone helps out in
organising and preparing for the event. During the event, the Orang Asli will perform their traditional
sewang dance which includes solo-singing and playing musical instruments. It is a merry and joyous
celebration for all the villagers.

Read the passage below. Answer the questions that follow. LS: 3.2.1

Natural Farming
Farming activities mostly involve ploughing the land, tilling, pruning, and fertilising the land with
agricultural equipment and chemical fertilisers. The methods were seen as problematic by a young
Japanese research assistant as he believed the use of chemical fertilisers is the root cause of various
health problems. Concerned, Masanobu Fukuoka experimented with alternative ways of farming and
eventually developed ‘natural farming’, which does not involve any manufactured tools and fertilisers.
That is why the technique is also called ‘do-nothing farming’.
According to Masanobu, farmers must take advantage of the local environment of a farming area
and make full use of the flora and fauna to help fertilise the crops. Being trained in microbiology and
agricultural science, his methods have successfully produced plants ranging from citrus trees to rice
and barley without any pruning and tilling. His phenomenal discovery prompted him to write books
to spread word on the benefits of his unconventional method.
At the age of 66, he started travelling around the world. He gave lectures and provided
consultations to farmers on how to plant seeds and re-vegetate areas, mainly developing countries
where conventional farming involved high costs. Masanobu travelled to Somalia and Ethiopia where
he shared his knowledge to re-vegetate desert areas, remote villages and even refugee camps!
He received multiple awards from many countries for his knowledge and contribution. He passed
away on 16 August 2008 at the age of 95. He has left behind many trees and fruits of his labour, all
over the world.

1 What did Masanobu Fukuoka do before he developed natural farming?

He was a research assistant in Japan.

2 Why is natural farming also called ‘do-nothing farming’?

It is also called ‘do-nothing farming’ because it does not involve any manufactured tools and fertilisers.

3 How does natural farming work?

It takes advantage of the local environment of a farming area and makes full use of the flora and fauna
to help fertilise the crops.

4 Why did Masanobu start writing?

To spread the word about the benefits of natural farming.

5 In your opinion, how would refugee camps benefit from natural farming? Evaluation

Refugee camps can grow their own food although they may lack the agricultural tools and fertilisers to
grow crops. (Accept any suitable answer.)

Answer the questions below. LS: 5.3.1 Analysis

1 Based on the novel that you have read, name an object which plays a major role or is important in the
story.
The Swiss Family Robinson: The tree house
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: The submarine
King Arthur: The round table

2 Sketch the item or paste a picture of the object or setting.

(Accept any suitable drawing.)

3 Describe briefly why the object is important in the story.

The Swiss Family Robinson: The Robinson family found a big fig tree, fresh water and fruits. Soon, they
decided to make their new home high up in a tree. Materials from the shipwreck were used for their home.
They made a rope ladder with bamboo steps. After many months, the tree house was completed. This tree
house was very important because this is where the family would stay in.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: This submarine is comfortable and has its own electricity. Captain Nemo
has created this incredible submarine which provides extraordinary value to humanity if it is used properly.

King Arthur: Before using the round table, knights who sat at the head of the table were seen as to have
higher power or position over the others. This made the knights jealous. King Arthur gathered his knights
at this round table because it meant that they were all equal with one another. This is because a round
table had no head. So, there were no more fights amongst the knights.

Read the following blog post. Then, complete the statements below in no more than three words. LS: 3.1.2

Well, given the last few months, I am sure many of us have begun to warm up to the idea of e-wallets as
an alternative to cash. However, my mum never saw the need for this cashless transaction until Covid-19
happened. She used to trust cash for all her shopping and payment of utilities.

She said she was worried about the security system and transactions. ‘What if someone else got to know
my password? What if I were to lose my mobile phone? What if someone steals my data or hacks into my
account or e-wallet?’ What if… What if… the list seemed endless.

However, when the pandemic struck, she got worried and anxious about handling money. ‘Who knows
where the RM50.00 has been? Or who has touched it? You just can’t tell if the coronavirus is on it!’

My dad is just the opposite. He is up to date with technology, so it is not an issue for him. He is an avid
user of the e-wallet. He uses e-wallets for almost everything: groceries, food, coffee, etc. He uses it
whenever he can to get points. I must say he is indeed a digital currency fan! As a matter of fact, my dad
has subscribed to two providers already: GrabPay and Boost.

So, with the help from my dad, my 38-year-old mum finally signed up for an e-wallet. Now she cannot
imagine leaving home with cash. I believe she is not the only one new to this ‘cashless convert’ due to the
Covid-19 pandemic.

I am very supportive of cashless payment. As I see it, it is very convenient and helps me to keep record of
my expenses.

1 The writer’s mother did not want to use cashless transaction because she was
worried about the security system.

2 When the pandemic struck , the writer’s mother was anxious if the coronavirus
would be on her money.

3 The writer’s father has no problem using e-wallets because he is up to date

with technology.

4 The writer’s father uses the e-wallets to get points .

5 The writer’s father has subscribed to two providers namely GrabPay and Boost.

6 The writer’s opinion of cashless payment is that it is very convenient and helps in
keeping a record of his expenses.

Hi Geetha,
Last month, I bought a bag that I had been wanting to have for so long. It was a limited edition
Lesportsac bag with Hello Kitty print. It was initially released in Japan several months ago, and it
was then that I set my mind to save enough money to buy it.
It took me three months to save up RM300.00. I offered to do household chores for my neighbours
and in exchange, they paid me handsomely for each chore. I also saved my lunch money and sometimes,
I brought leftovers from home. My mother was very happy that no food was wasted anymore.
When the bags were finally sold in Malaysian stores, I was the happiest person! I bought my bag
with my own savings and to my surprise, it was much cheaper than I had thought. I could not bargain
because I bought it in a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur. However, I still had RM100.00 left, and I
saved it for my next significant purchase.

Read the following article and complete the table. LS: 3.1.2

Google Classroom is a free web service developed by Google. The primary objective of this application
is to help teachers to create, distribute and grade assignments. In other words, teachers can manage all the
documents that their students need online.
Teachers can make use of Google Classroom in many ways. Teachers can create assignments for
their students. Once teachers have created an assignment, they can upload it for their students to read or
work on. A notification of any new assignment will be emailed to the students. The students can submit
their completed work when finished, and the teacher can then grade the assignments.
Besides that, teachers can make announcements for the whole class. Google Classroom also allows
teachers to store any other documents for the students on Google Drive. Students can respond or comment
on assignments and announcements as well as email each other through the Classroom interface.
There is so much to explore and discover in Google Classroom and the experience is very enriching.
All you need is a Google Classroom account to use it.

Based on the article, complete the table below.

Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor was selected to be the first Malaysian astronaut. He lifted off on board
Soyuz TMA-11 rocket to the International Space Station in 2007. He is the first Muslim astronaut to go
into space during the fasting month of Ramadan.
According to Dr Sheikh Muszaphar, he had always wanted to go into space since he was ten years
old. ‘I remember looking up to the sky imagining that I was there. I always knew that one day I would go
to space.’
Dr Sheikh Muszaphar stressed that it is important to hold on to and realise our dreams. ‘You’ve got
to believe in yourself. Some people dream about doing great things but do not do anything about them.
Keep your dreams alive and keep doing things that will take you closer to your goals. Then, when the
opportunity arises, grab it, go for it,’ said Dr Sheikh.
He encouraged young people to have the mental strength to pursue their dreams. ‘Look at Einstein.
He never passed his high school exams and yet, he was at the forefront of many scientific discoveries. It
is more about how you think and your perspective towards the circumstances that surround you. It’s all
about your mindset.’
He urged young people to practise visualising that they will achieve their dreams. ‘Every night before
I slept, I would always see it in my mind. I would visualise that I was going to space one day,’ he said.
Adapted from www.ukm.my

1 What is the name of the rocket Dr Sheikh Muszaphar went on board?

It was the Soyuz TMA-11.

2 In what year did Dr Sheikh Muszaphar go to the International Space Station?

He went to the International Space Station in 2007.

3 According to Dr Sheikh Muszaphar, why are some people not able to achieve their dreams?
Some people are not able to achieve their dreams because they only dream about but do not do
anything about them.

4 What does Dr Sheikh Muszaphar encourage young people to have in order to pursue their dreams?
He encourages them to have mental strength.

5 Which word in the text means ‘in a leading position’?

The word ‘forefront’ means ‘in a leading position’.

Do you think robots will ever have emotions? Write your personal opinion on the subject. LS: 4.2.1
Creation

• robots – perform many tasks

• make crucial decisions
– better at understanding and caring for
human beings
– communicate effectively
• act in their own interests
– harmful to human beings
– create a ‘jobless future’
– replace human beings
• humans – innovative

When writing out your opinion, you are encouraged to use the phrases on one hand and on the other
hand. You may also use the notes given.

We like robots mainly because they can perform many tasks in a short time. We also like them because
they can do their work automatically. However, do you think robots will ever have emotions? Many
people have different opinions on this subject.
On one hand, having emotions may help robots to make crucial decisions just as a human
would. They may be even better at understanding and caring for other human beings. If such robots
exist, we will be able to communicate with them and convey our ideas effectively.
On the other hand, intelligent robots with emotions may act in their own interests. This will affect us
greatly because the robots will create a ‘jobless future’ for humans. I believe many companies prefer
robots to humans because robots will rarely make mistakes. Therefore, maybe robots will replace
humans entirely in some workplaces in the future.
In conclusion, I think robots will probably have emotions. After all, human beings are innovative,
so there is a possibility that robots with emotions can be created.

seems to know of his existence. However, from the story, I notice
that he is very good at technology. For example, he has been able 1
to make use of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs to create
an incredible submarine which is called the Nautilus. The Nautilus
manufactures its own electricity. It is also able to produce oxygen
that enables it to remain submerged for a long time. He has also

made of a special type of seaweed. Captain Nemo even has air guns ✓
that allow him to go hunting with his crew. He is indeed very creative
and intelligent. His inventions are thousands of years ahead of time, 2
and thus I find Captain Nemo interesting.
King Arthur
In the story King Arthur, I find King Arthur’s character interesting as
he sees it as his responsibility to safeguard his country and people. I
am interested in the fact that he was able to make a change merely ✓
by using a round table that was given to him by his wife. King
Arthur makes all his knights sit around the table to avoid conflict 3
or misunderstandings among them as all of them would be equal in
standing with him, the king, and with one another. This is so because
a round table has no head. He fought all the enemies and made sure
there is peace in his country. He made sure that his people would
have a lot of food to eat. King Arthur loves his people and he has ✓
made effort to keep his people safe and happy, and thus I find him
to be an interesting king.

Ng Cheong Choon

Ng Cheong Choon is a Malaysian engineer working in Detroit, United States. He loves his
job (1), but his family means the world to him. One night, he came home and
saw his two daughters (2) making bracelets from rubber bands. This reminded him of the
time when he used to make jumping ropes from rubber bands which was a traditional hobby (3)
enjoyed by many children in Malaysia when he was little. So, he tried linking the rubber bands together, but
they kept falling apart (4). After his daughters went to bed, he created a plastic device
that could join the rubber bands together to make beautiful (5) bracelets.
His daughters were very excited
(6) when he presented the bracelets to them. The
girls showed the masterpieces around school and to their neighbourhood friends (7).
Soon, requests started pouring in. Not long after, Ng was busy making bracelets to fulfil the
demands (8) by his daughters’ friends and families. His eldest daughter then
suggested that they should sell them to the public (9). They named their product
‘Rainbow Loom’. They also started video tutorials to show their customers (10)
how to create different bracelet designs using the rubber bands and the plastic device. To date, they have
sold (11) more than 3 million Rainbow Loom units, and the video tutorials have
been viewed more than 13 million times.
