 SECTION B (30 MARKS)

Questions 21 -31 are based on the following passage.

1
A very good afternoon to you, my beloved students, I'm glad so many of you
turned up for this afternoon's talk. At this moment, all your thoughts and activities
are geared towards one clear goal which is to do well in your SPM examination.
Once the SPM exams are over, some of you may feel lost. The purpose of my talk
is to explain the options which are open to you after you have sat for your SPM 5
exams.
2
What you do after your SPM exams depends very much on whether you want
to further your studies. For those who want to stop schooling after SPM, it is
important for you to pick up some skills that will enable you to get a job. Some of
you may want to enrol yourself for practical courses like tailoring and hairdressing. 10
Others may want to become apprentices in electrical shops and car repair shops.
Some may choose to have a career in the fast food line. As for those who prefer to
work in offices, it is essential for you to be computer literate. Many offices are
computerised. You need to learn word processing skills and perhaps, book keeping
as well. When you have formal training, you can get better pay for your services.
3 15
From an informal survey I did among the Form Five students in this school, I
found that the majority of you want to continue your studies after your SPM. Many
options are open to you. You can join a twinning programme. This programme
enables you to complete one or two years of tertiary education in Malaysia and the
rest in a university overseas. Many private colleges cater for this segment of the 20
student population. For example, Inti, Metropolitan, Stamford, and KDU. One of the
selling points of twinning programmes is that you can get a degree of your choice in
a shorter time. It is like a short cut which bypasses STPM. Well, go ahead if your
parents can support you.
4
What about the rest of you who do not want to get a degree overseas? If 25
you want to get a degree from a local university, you can either choose to do your
STPM or apply for a place in the Matriculation or Diploma programmes. If you opt
for Matriculation or Diploma programmes, you do not need to go through STPM. I
know many of you feel that it is futile to go through two years of STPM and later not
qualify for a place in local universities. I've heard groans that it is difficult to score in 30
STPM. Well, a grown-up baby no longer solely depends on milk. As you move from
Form Five to Form Six, you cannot depend on memorizing to score. In fact, STPM
is a very well-coordinated pre-university education programme. It would stand you
in good stead regardless of whether you get your tertiary education in Malaysia or
5 overseas.
35
For those of you who are not able to make it to a university, don't lose heart.
STPM is part of a foundational education for everyone. In these years, you develop
critical thinking skills which prepares you for working life. At the end of the two
6 years, you get a certificate which entitles you to a higher salary scale than an SPM-

3 40
 holder.

SPM is a stepping stone to other achievements in life. Ponder upon what

I've said and be clear about what you want to do after SPM. A clear goal is like a
lighthouse in a storm. 
Answer the following questions using complete sentences.
Thank you.
