Question 2

Read the following article. Then, answer the question (a) – (j).

Water pollution happens in the ocean, seas and rivers. Surprisingly, a large part of this pollution may be traced to our own homes. Water pollution affects wildlife and their habitat.

Much of the pollution that may be traced to homes is because many people use the toilet bowls and the wash basins as garbage dumps. They pour chemicals and medicines into these places. There isn’t enough awareness about how hazardous this can be.

Unbelievably, shampoos, soaps, toothpaste and artificial fragrances have serious effects on rivers, seas and oceans. The special chemicals that make these products more attractive to the consumers end up returning to us in the form of polluted drinking water. Drinking water is made bacteria free, but it is almost impossible to remove all the synthetic chemicals that have come from man-made products.

SECTION C (20 marks)

(Time suggested : 20 minutes) Question 4

Read the speech below.

Good morning students of SMK Sungai Seri Limau. Examinations are important and as such, you have to be well-prepared to perform your best. As the examination period is approaching, some of you may have butterflies in your stomach. But don’t worry. Today, I would like to share some tips on how you can perform well in your examination.

Firstly, it is a bad habit to stay up late to catch up on your revision. Another one is to revise at the eleventh hour. These bad habits should not be encouraged. Always revise consistently, especially after the lesson is taught. Don’t be afraid to ask questions in class, especially on topics or concepts that you have difficulty understanding. Talk to your teachers as they can provide you the necessary guidance.

Besides, you can form a study group. Studying in a group enables you and your friends to share ideas and opinions. This can be a valuable source of information, especially in areas you are weak in.

During an examination, listen to the instructions given by the invigilator. He will tell you the time allocated to answer the questions and ask you to check the printed pages of the paper.

Use the time given to you wisely. If you are unable to answer a difficult question, do not waste time on it. You can come back to it later. Move on to do the easier ones first. Once you have finished, do not leave the hall. Read what you have answered and check your work. There may be some errors which can be corrected.

Don’t forget to bring along your identity card with you on the day of the examination. You will need it to enter the examination hall. Finally, always arrive early at least half an hour before the paper starts. Never arrive just on time or late for the examination.

These are some of the tips you can follow to prepare yourselves for an examination. Remember our performance in an examination depends on our efforts to prepare for it. Thank you and good luck.

The Day the Bulldozers Came

The day the bulldozers came Rooks were building

Crazy egg baskets in the oaks; Green flies sizzled by the pond And the cold-eyed toad

Waited for them.

The day the bulldozers came Squirrels were scattering Up tree trunks,

And leapt from branches That were hardly there. The fox

Stirred in the sheep As the ground trembled.

‘Ha ha!” he thought, “I’m quite safe, Deep down in the Earth, No one can get me here.’ Then the bulldozers came.
