Never ever treat her like a shuttle cock in a badminton game, which you would smash hard

Section C

[25 marks]

Questions 26- 31 are based on the following passage.

1 San Shwe Saw was an English learner from an isolated part of Myanmar. To
become a successful person as he was, he had to work very hard. His poor
background offered little support in his battle to learn a new foreign language. No
one in his family had any knowledge of the English language. His mother, widowed
at the age of twenty-six, became the breadwinner of his family. 5

2 In Myanmar, English is taught to students in school when they are ten years old.
However, poorer students like Saw were introduced to the language rather late, the
first struggle was pronouncing letters called the English alphabet. As a result, Saw
was still weak in English in high school. He became the laughing stock of his
classmates due to his faulty English pronunciation. He remembered his English 10
class with a sense of humiliation, embarrassment and disgrace. Depression and
despair became his daily companions in his classroom. His English classes never
ceased to be a nightmare for him.
3
His decision to stop school came when he failed to pass the English paper.
Failure to pass meant having to repeat the entire academic year. He felt so ashamed 15
as he thought about his poor mother, an uneducated and unskilled young woman
bearing the sole responsibility for the family. Thinking about his predicament
prompted him to make a decision - not to study harder in the following year but to
leave school and help his mother in her tea shop. He was so shocked to see his
usually timid mother completely lose her head when he quietly broke the news. As 20
tears rolled down her cheeks, she told Saw that he must complete his education.

4 Even though it was painful for him to see her spend money she could not afford,
Saw's mother sent him to a special English teacher. The teacher did something
different with him; he explained grammar rules in great detail. Consequently, Saw
could understand the grammatical rules but he did not improve much in reading , 25
writing, listening and speaking. Every night he would pray for a miracle - that his
English proficiency would equal that of his classmates.

5 The miracle began when his cousin left in Saw's house an English essay book

SULIT 1119/2

written by a Burmese teacher. He was interested in the book because of the types of
essays written for young children. As he read the essays, his comprehension 30
improved. He remembered every essay almost word for word. Getting enough
English books was almost impossible since his town was so far away from the
capital city of Rangoon . There were a few bookstores with children's books which
were very expensive. With no money to buy books, Baw began to read the textbooks
of senior students. Luckily, he could get the textbooks free at the end of each 35
academic year because the seniors were eager to get rid of them as their final
examinations were over.

6 Reading gave him confidence to write academic essays and short stories. His
teachers, anxious to help him pass the high school English examination, corrected
his papers and lent him their storybooks. His English proficiency improved due to his 40
relentless effort but he had difficulty understanding idiomatic expressions and
vocabulary. His classmate had an advanced learners' dictionary, so his house
became Baw's favourite place at weekends . He copied definitions of useful words
and expressions in good handwriting and posted them on t~e front door of his house
so that he could see them whenever he left or entered his house. 45

7 After high school, Baw studied English at the Institute of Education in Rangoon .
His English improved gradually and eventually he became an instructor at the
Rangoon University. His mother was at a loss of words because he had learnt
English from scratch and had to constantly fight throughout those early years
learning the language, his definition of learning will never be the same as other 50
people.

32 Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

Are You Still Playing Your Flute?

Are you still playing your flute?

When there is hardly time for our love
I am feeling guilty
To be longing for your song
The melody concealed in the slim hollow of the bamboo
Uncovered by the breath of an artist
Composed by the fingers
Blown by the wind
To the depth of my heart.

Are you still playing your flute?

In the village so quiet and deserted
Amidst the sick rice field
While here it has become a luxury
To spend time watching the rain
Gazing at the evening rays
Collecting dew drops
Or enjoying the fragrance of flowers.

Are you still playing your flute?

The more it disturbs my conscience
to be thinking of you
in the hazard of you
my younger brothers unemployed and desperate
my people disunited by politics
my friend slaughtered mercilessly
this world is old and bleeding

Zurinah Hassan
