ANSWER SCHEMES: SET 1

SECTION A: QUESTION 1

One day, I saw an old man trying to cross a busy road. Cars
were passing by non-stop but it was difficult for him to do so.
Feeling sorry for a old man, I offered to help him cross the road.
The old man thank me but said he would prefer to cross the road
by herself. I was surprised as I thought he would welcome my
help. Soon, the traffic begin to slow down. The old man slowly
crossed across to the other side of the road. Looking back to the
incident, I think pedestrians should take precaution measures
when they were walking on the road. They should use the bridge
as it enable them to cross the road safely. If they are walking in the
dark, they should wears a light-coloured clothing with reflectors. If
they do not has any reflective clothing, they should carry a
flashlight with them so that drivers can see them.

SECTION D: QUESTION 7
Suggested Answer
I like the ending of `The Railway Children written by Edith Nesbit because it is a case of alls well
that ends well. The father of the children had been wronly accused of selling government secrets.
All of a sudden, he is taken away.
His family has to move from their comfortable in London to a rat-infested cottage in the country.
There, they try to adapt to the strange and new surroundings. Their mother suffers the most but she
does not show it.
The ending is beautiful because their father manages to clear his name and returns to the family.
Their father is not a spy and he is reunited with his happy family. Meanwhile, the family have made
new friends in the new place and they will probably continue to live there. The ending is perfect.
