Mobile phones are gadgets that help us stay connected with people and the outside world. Most people agree that they’ve
a lot of advantages but there are some who disagree.
To begin with, mobile phones allow us to retrieve information quickly from the Internet or using mobile apps.
Furthermore, they’ve useful functions that allow us to record videos and take photos. Moreover, they’ve a lot of storage so
we can store a lot of pictures or information. Lastly, people can use their phones to entertain themselves with interesting
mobile apps and games.
On the other hand, mobile phones have disadvantages too. Firstly, people can send messages or call at any time and
this can cause a lot of interruptions for the receiver. Secondly, they can be a distraction to drivers and pedestrians. When
the phone rings, drivers may look away from the road to check their phones. Similarly, some pedestrians spend more time
looking at their phones instead of concentrating on the road. Thirdly, there are many interesting apps and online games
available on phones. Though they’re entertaining, many people become addicted to them hence their phones. Finally, they
allow bullies to target people easily by sending messages directly to their mobile phones.
All in all, mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions in recent times. There are more advantages than
disadvantages and therefore, I believe they help make our lives more convenient when used wisely.

(Suggested answer)
In my opinion, good nurses have to be caring. They listen to patients and want to help them. Good nurses need to have
good communication skills. They must be able to interpret medical information that doctors give and pass correct
information to the patients. Good nurses have to show empathy. They must be able to put themselves in their patients’
shoes so they can show more understanding and patience towards them. They also must have problem solving skills.
Though years of work experience will help foster these skills, nurses should have some natural talent in the area of
problem solving. Finally, I believe good nurses need good stamina. They work long hours and in shifts and most of the
time are on their feet. With good stamina, they won’t tire easily.

The person I admire the most is my cousin Trisha. She is a doctor and she works tirelessly to save people’s lives.
I admire my cousin because she is the most dedicated person I know. She spends long hours at the hospital to help care
for the patients. She has to monitor her patients progress, diagnose problems and administer medical treatments. She
works hard to help her patients get better.
Another quality that stands out is her excellent bedside manners. This quality not only puts her patients at ease
but also helps reassure them that they are in good hands. I believe this quality is important for doctors to have as it
helps patients feel less afraid about going to the hospital to seek treatment. Her patients trust her because she shows
compassion and empathy towards them.
I really like my cousin Trisha. All the people who have crossed paths with her feel the same way. Both patients and
hospital staff hold her in high regard. I hope to make a positive impact in other people’s lives when I become a nurse in
future.

Unit 4
Reading
A
Online learning has been growing steadily in recent years. However, no one can deny how important it has become since
the recent pandemic started. As a result, more students and teachers have become familiar and proficient in navigating
online learning. Though it adds value to the education system it has disadvantages too.
Online learning has many advantages. Firstly, it offers flexibility. Students are able to learn at their own pace and
follow a schedule that suits their learning style. Another advantage is convenience. For instance, students do not have to
travel far to get to school and parents can save on transportation fees. Other than that, students have access to a lot of
learning materials which they can access easily online.
On the other hand, online learning comes with some drawbacks too. To start with, students will have limited
interaction with their peers. I believe that students will not only find it difficult to have group discussions but also feel
isolated and lonely without any face-to-face interaction. Some students may even find it difficult to ask questions or seek
clarification about difficult topics from their teachers. Also, students need a home computer with fast broadband access so
online learning can happen without any disruptions. However, this can be expensive and not every family has the means
for this extra cost.
To sum up, online learning offers students another way to gain knowledge. Though there are disadvantages, I believe
the advantages far outweigh them. In fact, I think online learning will eventually make education affordable and accessible
to learners of all ages.

All in all, online learning complements physical learning in schools. In my opinion, online learning has more disadvantages
than advantages. I think online learning lacks face-to-face interaction which is very important to help effective teaching,
learning and sharing of ideas.

Opinion 1/Agree
The Internet has changed our lives in many positive ways. To begin with, we can get unlimited access to information because
there are millions of websites on the Internet. This means we can widen our knowledge and increase our understanding
on a wide selection of topics. Furthermore, the Internet helps people from anywhere in the world stay connected. For
example, we can share ideas with like-minded people, make new friends or stay in touch with family and friends living in
faraway places. Lastly, the Internet gives businesses a platform to advertise employment opportunities and offer goods
and services to the public. People can apply and interview for jobs online or shop for goods and services from the comfort
of their homes. The way I see it, the Internet has enriched our lives but as technology continues to advance, we can expect
more benefits from the Internet.
Opinion 2/Disagree
People forget that many activities that happen on the Internet can disrupt people’s lives. Firstly, the consequences of
having a wealth of information on the Internet means illegal activities can also take place. Some people download content
illegally because they do not want to pay for it. Piracy is not a victimless crime. Content creators such as artists or writers
suffer because their work is accessed without payment. Another drawback is the risk of people stealing someone’s identity.
When we key in our bank or credit card details, hackers can access it to steal and commit fraud. Although the Internet offers
a lot of useful information, there are equal amount of information that is inappropriate or harmful. Finally, the Internet
enables bullies to harass others easily. Having presented all these disadvantages, I can only conclude that the Internet
affects people’s lives negatively.

Dearest Sarah,
Thanks for your email, sharing about your enjoyable holiday. I’m sure you and your siblings have developed
a closer bond. At the moment, I feel refresh and energetic after coming back from the trip.
Our holiday was certainly fun and adventurous but not a relaxing one. It certainly took us away from the
hustle and bustle of the city. My family and I went to the Mulu National Park in Sarawak where most of our time
was spent hiking around the different regions of the large park. We were not that prepared for the adventures,
though! My brother and I were fit enough for the expedition although our parents did have a rough time. We
went along a trail in the rainforest to discover about various interesting flora and fauna. We also had the chance
to explore caves and watched thousands of bats flying out of the cave entrances. What a unique view to see!
However, it was quite challenging to go along a 3 km plank walk through the primary rainforest to visit the
Deer Cave and Lang Cave. The interior of the caves looked magnificent and exploring the caves was a learning
experience.
The trip offered challenging activities especially for people like me who love nature and outdoor
adventures. However, three days were not enough to explore the whole park. I may sign up for another trip
where I can try white-water rafting. Would you like to join me? It would be a great opportunity to see you again.
Wish you all the best for your coming examination! Good bye.
Your cousin,
Angie

Hafiz Yes, I do. What about you, Akmal?
Akmal I enjoy playing games, too. I prefer strategy or adventure games but sometimes I also play games like word
puzzles and scrabbles.
Hafiz Oh, I’m more into simulation and sports games. I go for racing, bowling and football. You should try them.
Akmal I’ve never tried any sports games. I’m sure it would be challenging, just like any other games. What game do
you suggest?
Hafiz Definitely challenging. You need to be quick and alert in order to win. After some practices, you’ll be a master
of the games. You can try Rocket League or FIFA 21 if you like football. There are so many that you might be
spoilt for choice.
Akmal At the moment, I play Battlestar Galactica. The sci-fi game is thrilling, providing tactical elements which need
you to be in command of a situation at all times. However, it might be fun to try sports games in the future.
Hafiz Yes, the racing game is sure to captivate your interest! Be prepared to stick to your one hour allocated time.

I am very interested to take part in the event that you are organising. That run can be a great activity to occupy my
time during the school holidays.
It would be helpful to me if you can provide further details on certain matters. The first one is whether a participant
needs to pay any registration fee. If any fee is required, please provide the amount of the fee and to whom should I pay it
to. The next question is about the T-shirts and medals. If I am interested to have them, how much do they cost? Another
matter is the category of the participants. Will they be separated into categories based on their ages or genders? The
last information that I hope to be clarified is whether there will be prizes to be awarded for the participants.
I greatly appreciate if you can give me the information as soon as you possibly able to.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Sofiah Ahmad

A Review of a Video Game
The chosen game is simply called “A Word Puzzle” which can be neither too easy nor challenging for an average
player. It is geared towards providing entertainment while helping players to learn the English Language. “A Word Puzzle” is
quite different from the usual Vocabulary games as the process of completing the puzzles provides you with a fun gaming
experience. “A Word Puzzle” is designed for anyone who likes puzzles and word games. The game does not require the
Internet and is completely free. It has 450 puzzles and thousands of hidden words that become more difficult as the level
increases. As you progress through the game, you can open the locked achievements, compete with your friends on the
scoreboard, or win various different badges in stages.
To play “A Word Puzzle”, a player can learn through a tutorial given at the beginning. The aim is to find hidden words
appropriate to the subject chosen. To collect points and badges, you need to use the letters provided to spell the hidden
words. With practice, you can easily improve your Vocabulary, concentration and spelling skills.
This game benefits players who wish to learn the English Language outside the classroom, in an informal environment.
The players can gain more Vocabulary and also improve their word recognition skills. Competent players may find the
game boring as they go through almost similar process or spelling the same words repeatedly. Nevertheless, the game is
easy to learn and definitely educational for young children.

Gardening is a rewarding hobby. You can grow vegetables, flowers or fruit trees. There are so many types of greeneries
that you can choose to plant. It can be a good exercise for your body and you also help in sustaining the environment. Soap
and oil containers can be recycled as pots. Some students may find this interesting because it allows for creativity when
you cut out the containers. However, I don’t think that many students would try gardening. Taking care of the plants can be
a bore and gardening can also be difficult and time consuming.
In sustaining the environment, you can practise organic gardening. You need to avoid using chemical pesticides and
synthetic based fertilisers. Instead, you should prepare fertilisers using compost made from food waste. In addition, you
also need to store rain water so that you can water the plants without adding any extra cost to your water bill.
Many people have chosen to start gardening when the Government began to enforce the Movement Control Order
nationwide. I believe the pastime is a good idea because they gain a number of benefits. They can have a supply of fresh
vegetables and fruit. Flowers like roses and petunias are a feast to the eyes because they are colourful and beautiful. I agree
that young people may find gardening a bit dull but the elderly people love this activity. Gardening is not only relaxing but
sometimes, time it can also be challenging.

Sustainable Practices in Everyday Life
It is a good practice to include wise resource use as a way of sustaining the environment. Doing it consistently should
be a vital part in one of four daily activities in order to reduce emissions and energy use as well as present pollution and
waste. It is a lifestyle that an individual or a society strives to use little or less natural resources of the Earth. They often
attempt to reduce their carbon footprint that is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere due to the
activities of a particular individual, organisation, or community.
Sustainable living does not mean living without luxuries but it is more towards the awareness of a person’s actions to
reduce resource consumption and unnecessary waste. We must try to conserve energy whenever possible but switching to
renewable energy such as solar energy or wind energy is very much preferred.
We can try maintaining environmental sustainability by changing our methods of transportation, energy
consumption, and diet. Instead of driving cars or riding motorcycles, we should walk, cycle or use public transportation
to help in preserving precious energy resources. As a result, walking and cycling are exercises that help you to be fit and
healthy. You also save money as the use of fuel is unnecessary.

There are many other ways of sustaining the environment that you can adopt and save money. Among them are to
reduce the use of electricity and water, recycle and reuse of things or take up gardening. Let us be responsible and do our
part in saving the Earth.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Misuse of Recycling Bins
I wish to draw the attention of the members of the community about the negligent attitude of people in the
community towards recycling. I have encountered recycling bins at many places that have been used for trash instead of
the recyclable materials such as paper, glass and aluminium cans. It is extremely sad that people misuse them as rubbish
bins where they overflow with garbage left by those irresponsible people.
Campaigns after campaigns have been launched to educate people about recycling, yet many of them have chosen
to be so ignorant about it. I am sure those people have seen posters and advertisements about the Three R’s, read articles
about them or hear about them on the radio and television. Malaysians should be given wake up calls to be aware of their
responsibility so there will be no more contamination of recyclables. That kind of attitude has wasted the recycling efforts
made by others. The authorities must find quick solutions in solving the problems.
The public should also be made to realise that there is more to recycling. There is a need to sort out different materials
and separate them which is definitely not the same with dumping them into the bins. The most important fact is everyone
has to cooperate in saving the Earth!
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Gan Xiao Lin,

Suggested answer
i. Songket and batik are two completely different crafts. Songket is woven and make use of either silver or gold thread
to form motifs. Batik has designs and motifs drawn on the fabric using the ‘canting’ technique to apply liquid hot wax
onto the fabric. Songket is more expensive but depending on designs and materials, the hand-drawn batik can also
cost between RM200 to RM400 per piece. Songket is quite exclusive because people wear them on special occasions
like weddings or special dinners. Although people do not wear ‘batik canting’ for shopping, they go to work or attend
office functions in them. Finding ways in cutting cost may encourage people to buy these products if they are not so
costly.
ii. Having a career in the crafts industry can be a good prospect if you are creative, together with great patience and
tolerance. The youngsters should be given an opportunity to learn more about the crafts.
iii. Providing courses on how to come out with a songket or batik product can spark interest in them. They should also be
taught how to start a business and produce them commercially.

Suggested answers
Food has always been an interest to human beings. People need to eat at least three times a day and some people simply
love to eat. So, people in the food industry around the world create various types of dishes to cater to these people. There
is food like bread, pasta, rice, meat, cakes and so many others that can be prepared in hundred ways. Food is also presented
in a beautiful way to make them look good and appetising.
A career in the food industry can be challenging. Becoming professional cooks or chefs can be demanding because
you have to see to other aspects besides cooking the food itself. However, there are other positions such as junior chefs,
sous chefs and servers who work together with chefs and head cooks. These positions are usually available in restaurants,
hotels or residents of the rich and famous.
Many people can cook but education and experience will make a difference between the professionals and the
common cooks. Nevertheless, a chef can learn how to cook professionally as well as manage a kitchen by doing on-the-
job training in commercial kitches and large restaurant. These places provide the environment where they can learn skills
needed to handle more advanced cooking techniques. Another way to earn qualifications is by going to vocational schools
and universities to take culinary arts and restaurants management courses. The latter would be a good option for those
who would also like to own their own restaurant.

Subject : Choice of Arts made by Class Form 4 Bakti
This report is to inform you that all the students in my class have voted for three out of the five choices given to us.
We have agreed to select photography, drawings and theatre. The choice for photography is obvious because we would
like to learn the techniques in photography by using the cameras on our phones. At the moment, most of us simply click
the button just for the sake of taking photographs. Many of us are interested in taking up drawing because we cannot
draw well. If we can learn basic drawings, at least we can use the skill in making notes or in class such as during Biology
lessons. We chose theatre because we can learn to express ourselves, build self-confidence and there are a few who are
interested in script-writing.
As you probably know, most of us do not have much knowledge in the selected area. As there is no specific
requirement needed, everyone is looking forward to the extra activities. We hope that by the end of the courses, we
would at least gain some knowledge that we can apply in everyday life.
Lastly, on behalf of the students in my class, I would like to thank you for the opportunity given to us to venture
into this new field.

Dear Annika,
I hope not too late to welcome you to our beautiful country. As you probably know, it is a multi-racial country with
Malays, Chinese, Indians and many indigenous people. As such, we have a few traditional clothing of the different races. As
a teenager you must have loved your jeans and T-shirts which I think you know are casual wear. So, they are safe to wear if
you go out with friends for outings or shopping. You may team up your jeans with blouses or long-sleeved shirts for parties
and small gatherings among friends. If there are elderly people, it will be adequate if you replace the jeans with a skirt or a
pair of trousers. Anyway, you specifically ask my advice on what to wear for the open house. “Hari Raya” is a Muslim festival.
The open house is not always formal but guests usually turn up in traditional clothes.
Wearing a dress is also appropriate but it is not advisable to wear casual clothes to such occasions. My advice is for
you to buy baju kurung which is versatile and can be worn to any formal or informal function. Just shop around and you
may get a good bargain because the celebration would be around the corner.
Good luck!

Subject: Holiday get together
Dear Logan,
What exciting news! My family isn’t going anywhere so I’m free to spend time with you.
I hope you can spare two days. First, let’s catch up over tea at my house. Second, we’ll go sightseeing to several
interesting places. Third, our families can dine together at a seafood restaurant nearby. Finally, let’s have a picnic at the
beach. I’ll invite my friends, too. I think we’ll have a wonderful time.
I hope you’re excited about our plans. See you soon!

Question 2
(Suggested answer.)
An Eco-friendly Life at Home
An eco-friendly life helps conserve the environment. You do it by reducing, reusing and recycling.
There are many ways to go green. First, use energy-saving lights, appliances and plumbing systems to reduce your
energy and water consumption. Second, make new things from old things. For example, use plastic bottles, old furniture
and clothes to create new and useful things. Third, recycle more. Bring your own bags when you go shopping and
containers for storage. Lastly, turn food scraps into fertilizer for your garden plants.
This way of living also benefits you. To start, efficient use of electricity and water means low utility bills. This helps to
save money. Next, your indoor air is healthier. Using products made from renewable resources and efficient ventilation
systems keep the air clean.
In conclusion, leading a green life means making changes in your life. In the long run, these changes will save the
planet.
Part 3
Question 3
(Suggested answer.)
My School Library
The school library is an important place for teachers and students. It helps support teaching and learning and can leave
a lasting impact on the lives of students.
There are many things I like about my school library. It is a comfortable reading place. It is bright and airy. The
librarian and staff are friendly, well-trained, skilled and helpful. I feel welcomed when I go there.
However, I would like my school library to have more reading-based activities. First, I want activities that can create
interest so students want to explore new genres or read work from different writers. Second, I want programmes that
help students get interested in books and reading as well as aid them to study their classroom subjects. Besides that,
not all my friends have the same reading level. There should be fun activities so students can develop their reading skills
so they become confident readers.
In addition, there should be a wide selection of reading materials. To start, the collection should be updated so
students get the opportunity to read the latest resources. Moreover, the materials should be in a variety of formats.
Lastly, the library should incorporate current technologies such as computers and Internet connection so students can
access information and resources easily.
In short, my school library is good but it could be better. I think if they incorporate my suggestions, it has the power
to enrich the lives of all its users.
Question 4
(Suggested answer.)
The Best Cendol
I recently had some cendol. I’ve had cendol before at road side stalls and a few restaurants. However, the chef at Nyonya
Best Cafe in the city centre makes the best cendol I have ever tasted.
The cafe offers a variety of desserts but I ordered the cendol when I saw on the menu that it was their best-selling
dessert. The dessert made a colourful picture. The combination of mung beans, cendol jelly, palm sugar and coconut
milk arranged attractively made my mouth water. The hint of pandan and coconut milk aroma made the dessert very
fragrant.
Then, I took my first spoonful of the dessert. I hoped that it tasted as good as it looked. I wasn’t disappointed. The
mung beans and jelly were smooth and soft. The mixture of palm sugar and coconut milk was deliciously thick and
creamy. Each spoonful was a wonderful explosion in my mouth.
The dessert was rich but it wasn’t too sweet. The sweetness was just to my liking so I was able to finish every bit of it.
The ingredients were fresh and prepared well. However, I would have preferred a little less mung beans.
One bowl costs RM7.90. They used real ingredients such as fresh coconut milk and there were no artificial flavouring
or colour. I think the dessert is not only tasty but also value for money. I would recommend it to my friends and family
because it is a deliciously creamy dessert.

Question 5
(Suggested answer)
A Stranger Who Changed My Life
One day, I accompanied my mother to the wet market. Her first stop was a vendor opposite a food stall. I went to the
food stall. I drank tea while my mother was buying some vegetables.
A women, came to the stall and stood near my table. Both her arms were laden with bags. I watched her put them
down on an empty chair and order some food. When she was about to leave, her movements shook the table. As a result,
my glass fell and tea spilt everywhere. She was shocked and immediately apologised. I smiled and told her it wasn’t a
problem. After she paid for her food, she apologised again and left.
When I went to pay my bill, the stall owner told me that the woman had paid it. I was puzzled. It was just an accident
but she must have felt bad and kindly paid for me. The woman’s gesture left a good feeling in my heart. I was smiling to
myself the whole day.
I wondered why a small gesture affected my mood and thoughts so much. If people felt kindness around them,
surely they would feel uplifted too. I decided, then, that I wanted to pass on the kindness the woman had shown me.
Since then, I have carried out a number random act of kindness to strangers. Helping put a smile on their face is
rewarding. The stranger made me see the world differently and I am happier for it.
