171-3 Village Apartment, Jalan Hang Tuah,
60000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia Dear Anida,
I’m in Melbourne for my sister’s graduation. It is a beautiful, lively, artsy city with the perfect blend of old and new architecture. I visitd a few of the attractions there. I did quite a bit of shopping at Queen Victoria Market and Direct Factory Outlet. I also took a scenic drive along the Great Ocean Road. We stopped by Lorne where I got to taste the best fish and chips.
Apart from all the places I mentioned, my favourite attractions would be the adorable penguins I saw in Philip Island and the Sherbrooke Forest on Mount Dandenong. I hiked through the forest and got to see the beautiful nature. It was such a great way to escape the city life. I’ll tell you more when I get back. See you soon.

Hi Harry,
How are you? Sorry to hear that you are very stressed over the coming examination. Here are some tips for you. First, do exercise. Maybe go for walk, swim or jog. When you are free, do some breathing exercises. Inhale through your nose slowly but deeply. Then exhale through your mouth. You will find the tension being released from your body.
Next, play with your old toys like the Transformer or Spiderman. Go shopping or window shopping. You can buy something nice for yourself. You can also talk to your close friends or family members. They can calm you down and help you. I would also suggest you to listen to soft music and get plenty of sleep. Pray more and get closer to god.
I hope my tips help. Good luck in your exam!
Your friend,
Oliver

First, do exercise. Maybe go for a walk, a swim or a jog. When you are free, do some deep breathing exercises. Inhale through your nose slowly but deeply. Then, exhale through your mouth. You will find the tension being released from your body. Next, play with your old toys like the Transformer or the Spiderman. Go shopping or talk to your close friends or call the Befrienders. Befrienders work round the clock, so you can call them any time. A tip which I like is close your eyes and imagine yourself near a brook, listening to the soft waves beating against its bank. Alternatively, you can walk on the sandy beach.
I would also suggest you listen to soft music and get plenty of sleep. Pray more and get closer to God. Have faith in Him and He will guide you. I hope my tips help.

My dearest mum,
Hope this message finds you in the best of health. I am doing fine here. Mum, I would like your permission to visit Manis Shelter on 21 February 2016. It is organised by our school Chinese Language Society. Transportation is free. I only need to pay RM5 for the food.
I would also like to ask you for some money as cash donations for the shelter. Manis Shelter is run entirely on donations.
I feel the visit would be very worthwhile. It is a Chinese New Year Party for the orphans. There will be lots of activities like singing of Chinese New Year songs, a singing competition, Musical Chairs and traditional dances like the Fan dance and the Bamboo Dance.
That’s all, Mum. I hope my request is granted. Thanks Mum and take care. Your loving daughter,

Dear Andy,
Would you like to come along with me to the Jace Performing arts School Open day? The school is organising interesting plays and dramas by present students and even the alumni. I am sure these would be highly entertaining. There will also be a comedy by the Austrian group, Poison Cats. I really hope you will enjoy yourself.
From, Ameena

Dear Rozita,
How are you? Everyone at home is good. I am excited to hear about your family trip to Redang Island. You remembered that my family and i went there too. It was a wonderful trip and I am sure you will have an equally good trip.
I will be happy to share tips I recall about snorkelling. I am sure you would have already read that boat operators are discouraged from anchoring their boats on the reef so I hope your boatman does not do that either. However, there are several things you can do to keep the reef safe.
While snorkelling, don’t touch the reef or any living organism with your body. Be careful not to move your flippers too fast too. When you splash about near the reefs, a cloud of sand will form and this can harm them. Even the heavy strokes of the water can damage them. They are fragile organisms.
The corals and other aquatic creatures are colourful and beautiful to look at. However, don’t collect or catch them. Don’t collect or buy shells either as they are important to the marine ecosystem. Another important thing to remember is not to feed the fish. When people do this, they do not realise that they are disturbing the fish’s natural habits. Besides, the food can be bad for their well being.
There will be a lot of signs reminding tourists what to do and not to do while snorkelling. Even your guide will explain them to you. I hope you have a safe and an enjoyable holiday. I can’t wait to hear

Read the article and answer the questions
Once upon a time, two neighbours went to see a wise man to help them solve a problem. The neighbours, one tall and the other short, introduced themselves to the wise man. The tall man told the wise man that at the edge of his plot of land, there was a tree filled with mangoes. He insisted that the tree and the mangoes were his because the branches of the tree were leaning more on his side of the land.
The wise man then asked the short man for his side of the story. The second man said that he was a farmer. He spoke calmly when he told the wise man that even though the tree leaned more towards his neighbour’s land, he had planted it. He said that he cared for it for many years. When the plant was young, he protected it from hungry cows and goats that wanted to eat its leaves and fruits.
The wise man thought for a while and then gave his opinion. He suggested that the tree be cut. Then, all the mangoes were picked and divided equally between the two neighbours. The tall was happy with the decision. However, the short man pleaded with the wise man not to cut the mango tree. He volunteered to give all his mangoes to the tall man so the tree would not be cut down.
The wise man praised the farmer for being a generous man. Then, he said that the tree belonged to the short man.

Read the article below about robots
A robot is basically a machine that has been designed and built by humans to do a certain function or task. Robots have been invented to make the lives of people easier. There are several types of robots. Some robots function in the industrial field while some function to provide aids and assist people in their everyday lives.
An industrial robot can be found in giant factories where each robot will come together to form a complete system. Robots work together in a system through programming via electronics and careful planning to produce a consistent product. Bu using robots, companies can reduce the chances of human errors and reduce the running cot of hiring additional employees.
A different type of robot can also be found in space! Numerous robots have been designed and built to perform tasks that humans are not capable of doing. These robots destined for space are called rovers. The most recent rover called ‘Curiosity’ was launched by NASA in US on the November 26, 2011. Curiosity Rover has the task of investigating climate and geology on Mars and is currently still in operation on Mars as we speak.
With the advancement in technology, companies are able to produce humanoid robots that can mimic the way of humans and learn certain behaviour patterns. One such robot that became famous due to its innovative artificial intelligence is called the ASIMO. This robot was designed to operate in real-world environments and has the ability to walk or run on two feet. This impressive feat may not be significant, but it offers an exciting glimpse into the future where robots will surely play a larger role in our everyday lives.

Read the following passage
WAKING UP TO A NIGHTMARE
BUKIT MERTAJAM: A heavy downpour in the wee hours had caused some 100 homes in Machang Bubok, Bukit Mertajam to be hit by flash flood. The panic-stricken villagers in the area had to hurry to save their belongings and move to a higher ground.
A fire engine, a truck and two boats were dispatched to the scene to help the flood victims. The affected villagers were taken to a relief centre at a school nearby. Fortunately,there were no casualties.
Saad Osman, 49, whose house in Kampung Machang Bubok was among those affected said that such occurrence was not uncommon. He further added, “It rained heavily at about 3 a.m. last night. Two hours later, the water started gushing in and rose rapidly up to waist level. We face this problem at least once a year but this year is the worst. My furniture is all damaged as I had no time to move them out.”
Another victim, Mohd Rosdi Idris, 45, said,” It came as a surprise to us because the water rose very fast this time. Fortunately, some villagers managed to save their belongings in time.”
Another resident, who wished to be known only as Jack, blamed the development projects nearby as the main cause of the flood. “There are many new construction work done on higher grounds. Therefore, whenever it rain heavily, the water flows onto the lower grounds, causing the river nearby to burst its banks”.
The villagers hoped that the relevant authorities would look into this matter seriously and take appropriate actions to overcome this problem immediately.

[Time suggested: 20 minutes] Question 4
Read the article about a famous personality.
Not many people would recognise the name Tan Sri Anthony Francis Fernandes but he is none other than the entrepreneur who rose to prominence by turning AirAsia, a failing commercial airline into a successful budget air company and introducing the now famous tag line “Now everybody can fly”.
Tony Fernandes was born on 30 April 1964 in Kuala Lumpur. He completed his secondary education at Epsom College, London and graduated from the London School of Economics in 1987. Fernandes was admitted as Associate Member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in 1991 and became Fellow Member in 1996.
Upon his return to Malaysia, he became the youngest Managing Director of Warner Music and subsequently became the South-east Asian Regional Vice-President of Warner Music Group. Fernandes then left to pursue his dream of starting a budget airline. In 2001 he had the opportunity to meet with Tun Mahathir who advised him to buy an existing airline rather than start a new one. Fernandes mortgaged his home and used his savings to buy AirAsia.
The purchase occurred just after the September 11 terrorist attacks in America and many people thought that Fernandes was crazy to venture into airline industry at such time. Yet one year after his takeover, Fernandes broke even and cleared all his debts. The rest, as they say, is history.
Fernandes was named ‘Malaysian CEO of the Year’ in 2003 and has since been named the recipient of other prestigious business awards around the world. He has also been honoured by the Yang Dipertuan Agong of Malaysia and the governments of France and Britain.
He has indeed done the country proud. He is not likely to rest on his laurels and is definitely destined for greater success in the future.

Questions (a) - (i) are based on the article.
Fast food
Fast food is fast becoming a staple food for many Malaysians especially among many young adults and children. Rising number of Malaysians are experiencing highly time-
constrained lifestyles with limited time for dining. Besides, fast food is popular with consumers because it is more affordable as compared to foods and drinks offered by chained full-service restaurants, in particular. Fast delivery services and drive-through facilities make it very convenient for take away food for many on their way to work, during lunch or even on the way home from work.
Research shows fast foods contain lots of calories, sugar, sodium and unhealthy fats -- substances that increase your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Increased health risks are directly associated with increased consumption of fast
foods. Many individuals in are becoming obese. Another result of fast food culture is the loss of the family tradition of eating together. Children and adults rarely eat together now, and thus get less opportunity to talk.
Undoubtedly, it is convenient and cheap, but as parents and educators it is important to set examples for children to emulate. Parents and educators can be more involved in increasing awareness regarding the negative effects of fast foods and discourage children from consuming them. Parents can influence their children’s eating habits through the types of foods they buy for themselves and their family. The snacks they serve for breakfast, lunch and dinner also can help to develop a child’s eating habit.
