The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) is an interesting spot which


gives us an insight into the countrys tropical forests. Genting Highlands Resort
offers fun and excitement for the whole family. Frasers Hill is an ideal retreat for
weary travelers. Then there is Port Dickson for those who love waters. Kuala
Selangor and Kampung Kuantan are famous for bird watching and seeing fireflies.
If Malacca is loved for its historical importance, thus the royal town of Seri
Menanti in Kuala Pilah district should interest folks the same. The royal town of Seri
Menanti, Negeri Sembilan is located at the foothills of a mountain range about 35
kilometers from Seremban and 11 kilometers from Kuala Pilah Town.
A famous attraction is the Seri Menanti Palace built in 1905 without the use of a
single nail. It is now known as the Muzium Di Raja (Istana Lama) Seri Menanti. The
four-storey building is the work of two local carpenters namely Kahar and Taib. This
palace once housed the Sekolah Menengah Agama Tinggi until 1964 and thereafter
was left vacant until 1992.

Read the text below and answer the following questions.

GIVING GIFTS
We always give gifts to our parents, friends, siblings, relatives and
teachers. We give gifts on occasions like Christmas Day, Chinese New
Year, birthdays, birth of newborn, Mothers Day and others.
Guidelines in giving gifts
Offer gifts in pairs. An even number
symbolizes good luck and a good ending
When you return a gift from a guest, the
gift you give him/her in future must be of
greater value than his/hers.
Taboos associated with gifts
Never give a handkerchief for it connotes
parting with a person forever.
To give an umbrella would mean a break-up.
Do not give jasmines or plum blossoms to
businessmen for jasmines mean business
losses and plum blossoms mean bad luck.
It is very horrible to give a clock to someone
on his birthday for it sounds like burying
ones parent.

You had received a letter from your cousin. Read the letter and answer the questions
below.

No 25, Jalan Mahadi,


Taman Selanga,
81200 Johor Bahru,
Johor.
11 October 2012
Dear Julia,
I received your letter a fortnight ago. Sorry for the late reply. Nice to hear that you
had a great holiday in Sabah.
As for me, I enjoyed my holidays in Pangkor Island with my family. Dad drove the
car to Lumut. Then we boarded a ferry to the island. We loved every minute of the ride
as the scenery was breathtaking. Upon reaching our destination, we checked into the
Royal Casuarina Hotel. We rested for a while before dinner.
The next day, Dad rented a van. We visited Sungai Pinang Kecil, a fishing village.
We saw fishermen mending their nets and stopped to watch several women drying
seafood delicacies like cuttlefish, shrimp and anchovies. Mother took this opportunity to
buy some salted fish.
Later, we went to Sungai Pinang Besar. Here, the villagers were repairing and
cleaning their boats. I must say that watching boats being painted was an interesting
experience.
The following day, we made a trip to the Dutch Fort at Telok Gadung. We spent
hours there taking photographs. Then, we went to the beach where my brother and I
collected seashells.
All in all, it was a tiring journey but we had a wonderful time. I must say that it was
fun to do things together as a family and I hope to visit Pangkor again.
Thats all for now and do keep in touch.

PBS BAHASA INGGERIS TINGKATAN 3 2015

Holiday in Langkawi Island


Last week, my family and I spent an enjoyable holiday in Langkawi Island. We left
for Kuala Perlis jetty immediately after breakfast and took a ferry to reach Kuah jetty. The
whole one-hour trip was really an exciting journey as it was my first time travelling on
a ferry.
We had a three-day and two-night stay at a chalet which was booked earlier by
my father. The accommodation was reasonable and affordable. This two-room chalet
was located nearby the beach. The chalet was very cozy and comfortable for it was
equipped with all the basic necessities such as the air conditioner, water heater, a
microwave and a flat-screen TV.
Upon our arrival, we pampered ourselves at the white sandy beach which was
just a stone throw away from our chalet. We swam happily and we were excited to see
colourful school of fish through the crystal-clear water. During dinner, we enjoyed
scrumptious seafood at the Mesra Restaurant. Although the seafood was costly, it was
really satisfying.
On the following day, we took a ride on cable car. The scenery from the peak of
Mat Cincang Mount was breathtaking. It was quite thrilling to see scenic panoramic
seaview. After lunch, my father brought us to the legendary Mahsuri Tomb and followed
by a visit to Beras Terbakar. We went back to the chalet before dusk.
On the last day of our trip, we went to Kuah town for shopping. My mother bought
a few sets of exclusive dining ware while we spent the money on chocolates, t-shirts
and not forgotten souvenirs for the loved ones. The shopping was really pleasing.
Around noon, we took a ferry back to Kuala Perlis before heading home. The trip was
really exhausting but for sure, it was one of the most enjoyable and memorable
moments for me.

Last Saturday, my family and I went to the seaside. We left home at 7 a.m. and
reached Port Dickson at about 8 a.m. As soon as we reached there, my sister and I
changed into our swimsuit. When we got into the water, we screamed because the water
was very cold. Soon, the water got warmer and we enjoyed ourselves swimming and
playing happily in the water.

PBS BAHASA INGGERIS TINGKATAN 3 2015

My younger sister could not swim very well, so after awhile, she decided to collect
beautifulseashells. She needed seashells because she wanted to make a picture with
them. My father helped her to collect a lot of pretty seashells.
When it was time for lunch, we spread a mat under the shady tree and helped
mother to put out all the delicious food. Mother had made fried rice, fried chicken and
sandwiches. We even had cake for dessert. We also had canned drinks which were
niceandcold.
After lunch, we rested for awhile and listened to music. My father and father had a
short nap. When it was not sohot, we decided to have a swim in the sea before leaving.
Soon, it was time to pack and go home. Although we were tired, we had enjoyed
ourselvess. We hoped to go there again soon.

respectable family. He is of my age. He is much taller than me. He has a very fair
complexion. He has curly hair, milky teeth and a pair of beautiful eyes. He has a very
cheerful nature. His face is always smiling. Sudhir is always neat and clean.
In class he sits beside me. We are always together. Other boys envy our friendship
but we do not mind.
Sudhir is very good at his lessons. He never neglects his studies. He never gives the
teacher a chance to complain about him. In the last examination he was first in the class. He
helps me in my studies. All his qualities have attracted me. I cannot find a more ideal friend

keeps me from bad influence. Shes happy that Im at home most of the time

time, but I still think its a waste of time. We will go online for a very long hour.
I think we should finish our homework and do some house chores during our
leisure time. Anyway, I prefer face-to-face communication with my families and
friends. It is more comfortable to talk or tell them in person.
Student A: But what those friends who are staying in another town?
Student B: Well, we can use the telephone.
Student A: Actually, Facebook is not just for communication. We can also play some

it.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.


Water is the most valuable gift Mother Nature has given to mankind. Unfortunately, the worlds
natural water supply is becoming more and more polluted. The main causes of water pollution
are oil spills, farming wastes, industrial wastes and acid rain.
Oil spills occur when huge oil tankers have leaks. The oil destroys many forms of marine
life. All the fish, whales, dolphins, plankton and coral depend on clean water to survive. Many
fish and plants die after such accidents as the oil spill may take years to clean up. If the spill
occurs near land, the oil will be washed up onto the beach affecting sea birds and animals on the
land. When a sea bird is covered with oil, its feathers become heavy and sticky. It may lose its
ability to fly and survive.
Nowadays, many kinds of pesticides are used in farming. The rain washes pesticides and
fertilizer from the fields to the rivers and oceans. Some farmers dump their animal wastes in the
river as they do not know how to get rid of the waste properly. Industrial wastes are even more
dangerous. They are acidic and very harmful to humans. Factories often dump their industrial
wastes straight into the sea. The fish drink this polluted water which in turn will affect humans.
Some people even transport drums of industrial wastes and dump them into rivers although this
is against the law.
Gases and fumes from cars, factories and power stations are dissolved in the rain drops to
produce a weak acid. This acid rain pollutes the oceans and destroys forests. Acid rain can be
carried from one country to another by wind.

Read the following text and answer the questions that follow.

Georgetown
Georgetown, the capital of Pulau Pinang (also known as Penang Island), is located
at the north-eastern tip of the island. Skyscrapers, single-storeyed residential houses,
modern apartment buildings and slums are found in this city. Its population of more than
one million is made up of the major ethnic groups in Malaysia. The island is linked to the
mainland by the famous Penang Bridge which is 13 kilometres long. There is also a ferry
service between the main and the island.
Pulau Pinang is a small island and because of its rapid development, there are
many environmental problems. There is not enough land and so land has to be
reclaimed from the sea. Much of the reclaimed land is just a few feet above sea level.
Georgetown itself is located in one of the lowest lying areas on the island. Many
parts of the city experience flash floods after a downpour. Flooding in Pulau Pinang is a
serious problem now, especially in areas such as Jalan P.Ramlee in the city centre. Traffic
comes to a standstill and there are long queues for buses and taxis.
Another major problem is traffic congestion. Traffic congestion in the city is also
caused by:

poor public transportation


insufficient and narrow roads
the increasing number of vehicles

- bad driving habits


- inadequate traffic control

Other environmental issues are:

landslides
oil spills from ships
the dumping of rubbish

- haze and pollution


- flash floods
- waste from factories

Pulau Pinang needs to take care of its environment and pay more attention to

Topic : How Students of SMK Kupang Spent Their School

Holidays
A survey was carried out among 200 students of SMK
Kupang on how they spent their last school holidays. They had
carried out a number of activities.
About 70 students spent their time watching movies or
television. This shows that they enjoyed watching movies or
television as a form of entertainment.
Another 50 students loved reading during the school break
especially novels as they did not have much time to spend on
reading on other days. Some of them also spent time surfing the
internet for suitable books and reading materials online.
35 students went camping and hiking either with their
families or friends. These students love the outdoors and some of
them have been found to be actively involved in camping activities
organised by the school.
Working part time also seemed to be a choice for 25
students who wanted to make some pocket money in order to buy
new school uniforms and shoes without burdening their parents.
Some of the students went for picnics with their families.
About 15 of them spent time with their families at beaches or
waterfalls nearby. Another 5 students were lucky enough to go on
holidays overseas like Perth and Ontario.
In conclusion, some of the students had spent their holidays
wisely like reading books and working part time. Those who spent
time watching movies or television may want a break from books
after working hard for almost a year. Nevertheless, it is advisable for
all students to do some revision so they do not forget what they had
studied.

assembly at 7.30 a.m in the school hall. The teacher on duty, Pn. Leela made sure all the students lined up in
their respective forms. First, we sang the national anthem followed by our school song. The teachers also sang
a song entitled Kami Guru Malaysia.

speech, he advised the students to respect and appreciate teachers contributions. He also stated that the aim
of the celebration was to show appreciation to their teachers.
Next, the school head prefect, Kumar from 5 Marikh gave a speech. He thanked all the teachers for
their dedication and hard work. This was followed by giving away tokens of appreciation to all the teachers by
the school prefects. It was given in the form of fresh flowers and gift boxes.
Later, some activities were carried out among teachers and students. These activities included games
like football for men teachers and netball for the lady teachers. It was an exciting event for both the teachers
and students. Soon after that, class parties were held in the respective classrooms. Some of the students
brought food from home.
In short, it was really an unforgettable and meaningful day for the teachers and students. Thats all, thank you

A very good morning to our lovely English teacher Puan Lily, and my fellow
friends. Today, I would like to talk about Open Day. Open Day is a special event which
involves the teachers, students and parents at large. It is a spectacular event for there
are numerous activities and sales going on throughout the day.
As for my school, the Open Day came to pass on 7 October 2012. As early as 7.30
in the morning, the teachers and students set up the stalls around the school field. The
school hall was decorated to the finest for the closing ceremony. Around 8 in the
morning, parents, family members and guardians of the students swarmed all over the
school areas.
There were many activities held such as karaoke competition, road safety
exhibition, songs dedication, martial arts demonstration, cooking competition and not
forgotten indoor games competition. The activities were opened to all, including the
visitors. Most parents spent their times taking part in the cooking competition for they
could spend quality time together along with their children.
Besides the happening activities, booths and stalls were crowded too. There were
various types of foodstuff and merchandise sold at reasonable prices. Food stalls were
the most visited stand for the vendors were selling scrumptious and mouth-watering
food, snacks and desserts. People had to queue up for quite a long time to fill their
stomachs.
Since each family brought along family members to the Open Day, the school was
packed with children and teenagers. They spent their times by joining the karaoke and
indoor games competitions for the prizes awaited were quite tempting. When noon was
approaching, the number of visitors was decreased and approximately at 3 oclock in the
afternoon, the prize-giving ceremony took place at the school hall.
Once the ceremony ended, most parents and family members left for home. There
were only a few teachers and students left to ensure that the rubbish was littered
properly.

PBS BAHASA INGGERIS TINGKATAN 3 2015

Last week, I had a wonderful time celebrating Merdeka Day with many friends in
school. As usual, my school held our yearly celebrations. However, this year the show of
patriotism among the students gained pace with a three-day event. Being purely a
student initiative, the Merdeka celebration aimed to spark the awareness of unity among
the students and I think we succeeded to a certain extent.
The carnival kicked off with a food sale where tempting traditional delights like
bubur cha cha, vadai and yau cha kuih were sold by the English Language Society.
Delicious cupcakes and brownies added variety. Dishes like nasi lemak, nyonya laksa,
Indian chicken curry with nasi biryani and Devils Curry were popular items with the
students and teachers.
After lunch, we adjourned to the Hall for the much anticipated cultural
performance. The students from the Drama Club performed a very graceful multiracial
dance. Besides that, they wore colorful traditional costumes. Apart from this, a short
sketch highlighted the varied and wonderful Malaysia way of life. A mixture of Malay,
Chinese, Indian, Iban and Kadazan dances caught our imagination with their magnificent
performance.
Other that that, a patriotic contest was held in the basketball court. Participants
shouted, Merdeka! Merdeka! in the most creative way and then answered questions on
Malaysian history. An arts and crafts competition was also held in the Art Room. Many
students participated in this competition. Handicrafts made from local materials with the
most interesting and innovative designs were selected and put on display.
We had a lot of fun and it was educational too. The spirit of Merdeka was definitely
in the air.

space. He was really putting on a show. From time to time, he sniggered. No one
could fathom his thoughts.
Based on the extract from the
short story The Pencil

Sample Answer
In the extract I found that Zahid was once a quiet boy who became a different
person after a fever. He became mischievous and naughty. Unlike Zahid, I am not a quiet
person. I am rather talkative. However, compared to Zahids naughty character I am
quite the opposite. I can be considered as an obedient and well-behaved person.

Sample Instrument
Based on the short story One is One and All Alone that you have learnt and
the synopsis of the short stories below, explain the difference between you
and the character in the short story.
One is One and All Alone is set in 2045. Trish is an 11-year old girl who is the
only child on a spaceship on a spaceship to Trion. Her father is the Executive Officer of
the spaceship. Her mother is in Trion helping to set up a space station. Trish will meet
her mother in mid January 2047.
After three months in the spaceship, Trish feels lonely and bored because she does
not have any real friends. She only has her intelligent computer: the VoicePrinter(VP)
which keeps Trish entertained with its ability to perform many functions.
Through VP, Trish learns about clones and the cloning process. Trish is fascinated
by the idea and soon decides to create a clone to keep her company in the spaceships
Biolab without her fathers knowledge. She names her new identical twin Clo, short
form of Clone. Initially, Clo becomes Trishs perfect friend and companion. They have
fun playing and sharing their time together.
However, after a while, Trish becomes irritated with Clo because Clo behaves and
thinks like her. Soon, Trish and Clo start to argue and disagree with each other over
unimportant matters Clos habit of picking bits of skin around a fingernail, Clo repeats
whatever Trish said exactly the same time, Clo wearing the same clothes or telling the
same joke. The last straw happens one night when Clo starts referring to Trishs mother
as her mother. This really upsets Trish because she feels her privacy is being invaded.
The next day, Trish confides in VP that she does not like being swarmed, invaded and
taken over by Clo. At that instant, she decides to dispose Clo forever through the
DISPOSAL hatch near her cabin.
The story ends with a twist because it is Clo who disposed Trish, not, Trish who
disposed Clo. This happens because Trish forgets that Clo knows what Trish thinks, so
Clo knew about Trishs plan. Clo then assumes Trishs Identity and Trishs dad is not
aware of the change at all. Clo then enjoys being one and all alone and her new life as
Trish in the spaceship.

Sample Answer
There are some similarities and differences between me and the character Trish in
the short story One is One and All Alone. I think Trish and I have a similarity in which we
are both resourceful. Trish is resourceful because to help overcome her boredom in the
spaceship, she created a clone of herself after learning about cloning from VoicePrinter.

PBS BAHASA INGGERIS TINGKATAN 3 2015

She did it on her own in the Biolab without anyones help. As for me, when I have
problems or obstacles in my life, I would find ways to find solutions on my own. I try to
be resourceful because I know I have to depend on myself in whatever I do.
However, the difference between Trish and I are firstly, I am not so hasty in
making my decision, unlike Trish. Before I make any decision, I will think long and hard
about the consequences and the effects of my decision because they affect my life. As
for Trish, she made a hasty decision in creating Clo after she learnt about cloning and
because of her loneliness. She should have thought of the consequences and the effects
before she made any decision.
Another difference is Trish is not grateful with what she had, while I try to be
thankful with what I have. Trish is not grateful that she had a father who still made time
for her even though he was busy because he was the Executive Officer of the spaceship.
Trish is not grateful that she had Clo as a friend because Trish decided to get rid of Clo.
I am not like Trish because I appreciate what I have and I try not to ask for things that
are not within my reach.

HEIR CONDITIONING - By N SHANmughallingam


Grand dad did you breath
Before air cons were invented
Was it hard staying
Alive without modern inventions?
Grandma werent you flustered
As you fluttered with paper fans ?
Could you communicate before
Faxes and long distance calls
Became basic necessities?
Grandchild we lived
Before your age. Because
of our ignorance ,
We did not know
Pollution, stress, traffic jams
Destruction of forests, streams and
Hills
We feared God and nature
Now nature fears you and
Money is your new God

Sample answer:
The differences between the life of the grandparents and I are many. Firstly, we live
without many sacrifices. We use better mode of transportation to move from one place
to another. But, the grandparents didnt have to face the air pollution that we are facing
at the moment. Secondly, there are also many hospitals available now to save ones life.
However, then, people can only pray or wait for him to recover.
The similarities between the grandchild and I are we cannot live without
modern inventions such as mobile phones and computers. We too are now facing the
polluted environment. We need the modern invention because we are used to having
them. Probably without it we will suffer and do not enjoy our life. In short, modern
inventions are beneficial but are indirectly giving us problems because their production
and use cause environmental problem, for example, the air conditioner.

An Act of Kindness
An old lady was walking along the road. She was moving slowly as her right leg was painful
and she limped with the help of a cane. Suddenly, she slipped and fell. There was an excruciating pain
as her ankle broke. She moaned in pain. Many people passed by without even looking at her. They
were unwilling to help.
A young motorcyclist was passing by saw the old lady sitting on the roadside. He was
concerned and stopped to help the lady. He hailed a taxi. But, the taxi did not stop. The driver
pretended he had not seen the man waving down. A policeman who was on patrol came to see what
was wrong. He was helpful. He stopped a car that was driven by a young lady.
Three kind gentlemen carried out the old lady into the car. At the hospital the young lady
phoned to inform the old ladys family. The family was grateful to the good Samaritans who had
helped their mother. They wrote to the newspaper to thank the motorcyclist, the lady driver, the
policeman and the three men. They did their duty as all good citizens should.
