“Siri,  save  a  life?”  

 
             For   most   iPhone   users,   Siri   is   a   timesaving   tool.   But   for   one   Australian  
mum,   Siri   is   a   lifesaver.   Stacey   Gleeson   swung   into   action   when   she   realized  
that  her  one-­‐year-­‐old  daughter  Giana  stopped  breathing.  She  put  Giana  on  the  
floor,   checked   her   airways   and   began   to   revive   her.   But   in   the   rush,   she   had  
dropped   her   phone.   Thankfully,   it   had   voice   activation.   Gleeson   yelled   “Hey  
Siri,   call   the   ambulance”   and   within   minutes   paramedics   were   on   their   way.  
Baby  Giana  responded  to  treatment  and  is  now  happy  and  healthy  again.

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage

Two daughters pay tribute to their father who is retiring as a teacher after 40 years.

1 We were always asked what it was like to be the children of parents who were
teachers. People expected to hear that we lived under strict conditions with no time for
play. And worse, if we ever dared bring home poor results from school, we would be
severely punished. It seemed like the only reason to explain our straight A results in
school. It also didn’t help that our father See Koon Suan has earned a reputation as a strict 5
teacher. When peers from our father’s school find out whom our father is, they know not
to mess with us. Yes, our father was strict with us but he also made sure we were given
every single opportunity to succeed — sacrificing his personal needs to ensure we had the
best upbringing and education.

2 Our father didn’t grow up in privilege, unlike us. He saw his father work three jobs 10
to support the family. His whole family shared a room in a house. But he succeeded
nonetheless despite the circumstances and was admitted to a teaching college where an
illustrious 40-year career awaited him.

3 And he was not one to rest on his laurels. We watched him spend many nights
feverishly marking his students’ homework. But despite the workload from teaching his 15
core subject English, he also initiated the school marching band and even founded the IT
Club during the 1990s, back when floppy disks were still in use.

4 It was clear that he was deeply committed to his school, and above all, his
students. He was a discipline teacher feared by his students. Grooming them to be useful
citizens was his top agenda other than educating them academically. Not only was he a 20
great teacher at school, he was also a great teacher at home. He taught us about the
Internet. We remember the excitement from hearing the dialling tones our phone used to
make while it tried to connect to the World Wide Web and being thrilled at being allowed
to use the mouse to click on the various icons on the screen. Ju Vin remembers the
computer games he used to bring home. The computer games taught us skills like touch 25
typing, enabling us to average a typing speed of 110 words per minute. This skill proved
to be extremely valuable in our current careers. There was also a game around American
history and another on solving a series of puzzles to hunt a fugitive around the world,
which really opened our eyes to the world beyond Malaysia’s soil.

5 He also used to bring us on various trips to Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Genting 30
Highlands which again, took us to a world beyond our small town of Kuantan when we
were little. With our father’s help, we also created a website while still in primary school.
It was a very exciting time for us as we were the only ones we knew at the time who could
call ourselves web developers — even if it was just a website about Britney Spears!

6 He was always our go-to tech guy as he would be able to fix all sorts of problems 35
with our computer and various gadgets around the house. When we were growing up, he
would give advice on which laptop or mobile phone to buy, all while elaborating the
specifications of each choice, which were alien to us at the time.

9
 
SULIT       1119/2  

7 He taught us to swim. Ju Vin remembers how he would make her swim towards
him in the local public swimming pool all the while inching further and further away from 40
her. The greater distance she was pushed to swim only made her a stronger swimmer. He
taught us time management. “Never be late” rang constantly in our house. We always had
to be early, if not on time, for all of our appointments. He taught us to speak proper
English. He used to correct us whenever we peppered our conversations with lah’s on the
telephone with friends. It was annoying to have your father listen in on your conversations 45
but later we realised he was just worried that our written English would degrade as a
result.

8 He taught us that hard work will lead us to places. Ju Vern remembers being 12
and telling her friends with dead certainty that she was going to attain a scholarship to
study abroad. That level of confidence could only have come from the many 50
conversations over the dinner table where he would have said, “If you studied hard, a
scholarship should be within your reach.” He also taught us football. There was no other
team better than Manchester United and no football manager better than Sir Alex
Ferguson. “A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a
guiding light whose love shows us the way”. 55

9 Happy Retirement, Papa. After 40 years, you definitely deserve a long and
enjoyable break.

Ju Vern and Ju Vin are See Koon Suan’s daughters who are grateful for the upbringing they’ve had,
even if they wished their father could have been a little less grumpy.

The Charge Of The Light Brigade

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!' he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'

Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Some one had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed & thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
