Questions 1-6

You are going to read a story about the impact of dedicated people on others. Six sentences have
been removed from the story. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap
(1 to 6). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.

Inspiring Others

She was just an ordinary lady. I met her on one of my trips out of town. She called herself
Tammy and she never gave me more information about herself. But she worked tirelessly. Nothing
was too much for her.
I was amazed at Tammy’s energy. She was not young. 1 Her eyes really twinkled with
love and happiness. She walked with a sprightly step that did not reflect her age.
Of course there were things she would never tolerate and the staff received some hard
comments when they were harsh to the people there. 2 Once a man came to drop off his
mother and appeared unsympathetic to the mother’s pleading look. Tammy told him off sharply.
“What goes around comes around, young man. Be good to your mother now”. The man flinched
and spoke more lovingly to his mother.
I have always wondered what brought Tammy into my life. She brought meaning and wealth to
my poor life. 3 I realised then that sometimes people come into our lives and we know right
away that they were meant to be there. They help us figure out who we are or who want to become.
And sometimes things happen to us that may seem horrible, frightening and unfair at first. But
later we find that without overcoming those obstacles we would have never realised our potential,
strength, willpower or heart. 4
Many people we meet will affect our lives in some ways. Our personalities are shaped by all
these encounters. Don’t look back to past events for we cannot change anything. 5 . Those
T
incidents were meant to be. h
os become.
In addition, the success and downfalls we experience help to create us into who we
e
6 . In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. They give us a rough
time but they shape and mould us.

A There is much to be learned from the bad
experiences
B She made me think and she made me care
C We really need to go through those obstacles
to make us better people
E It is no use regretting what happened in our
past
F We must not have bad experiences at all in
our lives
G Her face was creased with lines but somehow
she had that smile that really lit her face

D She loved the comforts of a neat and modern H If she saw disarranged papers or rubbish
home around, someone was going to get a verbal
lashing for sure

Part 3: INFORMATION TRANSFER

We interviewed six youths about travelling. Read the texts below and answer the questions that
follow.

THOUGHTS ABOUT TRAVELLING

A- CHEE MENG
Overseas travel has been few and far between for my family but I’ve cherished all
the times we’re fortunate enough to go. I love exploring historical cities and
landmarks leisurely to truly appreciate their beauty and rich culture. It’s also exciting
to meet new people and immerse myself in a different culture, even though it is just
for a few days.

B- PAVITHRA
I wasn’t very excited about being stuck on a floating hotel for over a week. The room
was cramped. There were two double-decker beds and there wasn’t even a window.
I felt trapped. The only time I was able to breathe easy was when I was dining in the
grand dining hall or walking on the deck.

C- RASHNON
For me, travelling offers the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate. It’s a moment to step
away from my normal life. A break from my daily routine helps to re-energize me.
Importantly, I feel recharged once I get back to my daily life.

D- MAHIADDEEN
Whether it’s a coach tour, guided city tour, safari, backpacking holiday or even a
staycation, adventure is waiting to be had. If you’re game to push yourself out of
your comfort zone, you’ll approach all aspects of your life like an adventure.
Embrace your adventure spirit to make life more interesting.

E- ZAMIN
Last year, I went on my first backpacking holiday with my cousins. It wasn’t easy
because we had to do everything by ourselves. For instance, getting around using
public transportation, eating at local restaurants or shopping at grocers were tough
when you don’t know the language. It was scary at first but I did it so I could have
an enjoyable time.

F- TAMARA
I’ve never travelled overseas yet. I’ve been saving for a long time to go on one after
my examinations. A solo trip is something we should do at least once in our lifetime
as a personal challenge. It’s a great opportunity to learn about ourselves.
