Questions 19 to 26
You are going to read an extract from a magazine. For questions 19 to 26, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.

When I was five years old, my father worked as a quartermaster on Kawit Island, a small piece of land near the
Cebu city ports. In the 1940s, the Americans had built a hospital there. When the Americans left the Philippines
after World War II, Kawit Island and the hospital, which was no longer functional, were left under the care of the
Philippine government. A skeletal workforce, including my father, was stationed there to provide security.
Tatay, as I called my father, would stay at the staff house near the old hospital during his three-day shifts. He
had only the goats and chickens that roamed freely on the island to keep him company. The coast guard patrol boat
would dock there once in a while, and some local fishermen would drop by for an afternoon nap.
Although marooned on the island with practically no playmates, I was never short of toys because the ocean
swept up a lot of stuff, mostly other people’s junk, which I found very interesting and useful. My precious collection
included a toy car with missing wheels, little plastic soldiers with no hands or feet, and an assortment of rubber and
plastic balls. I stored them in my treasure chest — an ice cream canister that I had scooped out of the waves one
morning.
One day, I saw a beautiful white boat. It was made out of styrofoam material and had a transparent plastic sail.
It was perfect. I was mesmerised as I watched the wind blow the sailboat towards the shore. My heart thumped with
excitement as I ran to retrieve it before it was swept away again. As I held it in my hand, I vowed never to lose it.
I showed it to my Tatay, who was happy to see me enjoying myself, although he warned me not to go into the water
again without him.
One day, I was floating my boat on the water when my father remembered that he needed to take his medicine.
He instructed me to come back to the shore before he rushed into a nearby hut. I started walking towards the shore
as I saw my father turn away. But when I reached out to get the boat, a soft wind caught its sail and pushed it away
from me. I took a couple of steps towards it, but the current that my movement created, kept propelling the boat
further and further away.
I watched in horror as my boat floated out of reach. I was determined not to lose it. In one huge step, I stretched
my arm as far as it could go and strained to grab the boat, but I missed and plummeted into the ocean, not realising
how deep the water was and forgetting that I could not swim. I was enveloped in seawater. I paddled and kicked
hard, trying to remain above the surface, but the water was just too deep, the current too strong and my body too
weak to fight. I felt myself sinking to the bottom. I gasped for air, but only salty water filled my throat and nostrils.
Then I passed out.
When my father emerged from the hut, he was horrified to see me thrashing around in the water some distance
from the shore. He dived in and swam as hard as he could to the spot where I had gone under. He repeatedly dived
under the water, frantically searching for my body. Then his hand brushed against my hair. He grabbed it and yanked
my head out of the water. He pulled me to the shore and gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Soon I regained
consciousness and vomited a large amount of salty water. I opened my eyes to see my father crying.
In the days that followed, I was so traumatised that I would not go near the water. My little boat was gone, but
I did not miss it. One day, my father, worried that the incident would scar me for life, took me to the water’s edge
and urged me to go in with him. Though scared, I went in because I trusted him. After all, he had saved me from
drowning.

Part 4

Questions 27 to 32
You are going to read an article about what a student loves about Penang. Six sentences have been removed from the
article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (27 to 32). There are two extra sentences which
you do not need to use.
What I Love about Penang
I love going to Penang because it is so unlike my hometown Seremban. While Seremban is situated in a valley and
about an hour’s drive from the sea, Penang is an island that offers visitors many attractions. Let me tell you more
about it.
First, there is Penang Hill. 27 D It’s an exciting ride, as I can see monkeys on both sides as the tram
struggles to go up. When I reach the peak, my heart beats wildly in anticipation of the awesome view I will get of
the Straits of Malacca. The ships in the horizon seem to be moving so slowly. The water is such an inviting blue that
I often feel like leaping into it!
28 F You can see all the city lights twinkling below you. I can still remember the first time my uncle and
aunt brought me up there after a marvellous dinner at one of Penang’s famous hawker centres; I just didn’t want to
leave. The view was simply breathtaking!
Another attraction that Penang holds for me is its beaches of golden sand, fringed by coconut trees. While I
love wandering along Batu Ferringhi beach, I must confess that my favourite beach is less well-known. 29 A
So, within hours of my arrival, I am basking in the sun under the shade of the old angsana tree at the back of the
house.
30 G Besides having various flowers and plants, the place is also full of chattering monkeys. They are so
tame and visitors can see them wander freely all over the place.
However, these monkeys pale in interest compared to the snakes of the famous Snake Temple of Penang.
31 E But I find watching the snakes a real treat as they lazily entwine themselves round the twigs and branches
of the plants within the temple grounds.
Finally, I love Penang because it is the home of Uncle Tim and Aunt Rosie. 32 B They let me wander
around the streets of Penang without worrying about me too much; something that my overprotective mother never
lets me do in Seremban.

A On every visit, I really look forward to sunbathing on E Most of the time, I have to go there alone, as my
the isolated beach near my uncle and aunt’s home. uncle and aunt are not too fond of snakes.

B They always look forward to my visits, just as much F By night, the view is even more spectacular.
as I long to go there after a long hard year of school.

C Every year, Penang Hill receives thousands of G Another place in Penang which I find irresistible
visitors from all around the world. is the Botanical Gardens.

D No trip to Penang is complete without going up to H Botanical Gardens are just a stone’s throw away
the highest point of the island by tram. from Batu Ferringhi beach.

You must answer this question. Write your answer in 125 – 150 words in an appropriate style.

Question 2
Your classmates have been discussing how they spend their leisure time. Your teacher has asked you to write an
essay about your hobby.
In your essay, you should write about:
• what you do during your leisure time
• reasons for your choice
• what do you usually need for the hobby
Write your essay using all the notes and giving reasons for your point of view.
(Suggested answer)
In my leisure time, I enjoy making scrapbooks. A scrapbook is a book with empty pages where we can stick
our favourite photos, articles, stickers and so on. We can also write simple but meaningful captions in a scrapbook.
I began making scrapbooks when I was ten. My aunt was the one who introduced me to this hobby.
I must say that what started as a ‘for fun project’ has become an obsession with me.
I personally find making scrapbooks relaxing. I can spend hours in my room selecting photos and arranging
them nicely in my scrapbook. I will forget about the things that make me sad or worry. As I am into art, I would
jump at any opportunity to decorate my scrapbooks. That is the reason why I always have gold glitter, coloured
paper, ribbons, sequins and dried flowers with me, besides glue and scissors.

Track 14
Public Art
Sana was introduced to public art through her frequent travels (21) with her family. She noticed
that there was a lack of public art in Malaysia so she decided to take up some lessons (22). She
was surprised to learn that murals, sculptures, monuments, street furniture (23) and even digital
art were categorised as public art. She spent a lot of time attending exhibitions (24) to learn about
other people’s work and making friends from the same field. Many tourists are impressed as Malaysian public art
celebrates racial (25) diversity and unity, and local unsung heroes.
Despite her extensive exposure, Sana’s favourite public art has always been the National Monument that
commemorates the sacrifices (26) of our soldiers. Her friends love her sculptures but she feels
murals (27) are more of her style. The fact that her fans have noticed her work on several
cafes (28) makes her feel proud. In the future, Sana plans to learn (29)
digital art and see if she is talented in the area. She hopes the public would stop labelling murals as
graffiti (30) and start appreciating their beauty.
