NARRATOR: Shudyesh and Izz are talking about yesterday’s English test.

SHUDYESH: Izz, do you think you will get an A?

IZZ: I don’t know. But, hopefully I will. I believe in myself. The questions were not that hard
actually. What do you think, Shudyesh?

SHUDYESH: Well, I think the questions were pretty hard. Oh, especially question number 15.
How am I suppose to know the answer?

IZZ: Shudyesh, the answer was in the passage. It was really really easy. Just like a piece of
cake, bro…

SHUDYESH: Erm…Easy for you lah.. To me, it was hard..I think I’ll maybe get a D.

IZZ: Won’t your parents be mad at you if you get a D?

SHUDYESH: No, I think they won’t. English is not important anyway.

NARRATOR: The bell rings and its recess time. Shudyesh was about to walk to canteen with
Izz. Suddenly, Ms Soveetra the English teacher calls out to him from behind.

MS SOVEETRA: Shudyesh… Shudyesh… Wait a minute. I want to see you for a while..
NARRATOR: He stops walking and turns around to his teacher. He asked Izz to go to canteen
first. While, he walks to Ms Soveetra who’s standing at the corridor.

IZZ: Okay, then. See you at the canteen.

MS SOVEETRA: Erm… Okay, Shudyesh. I don’t know how to say it. But your English is too
bad.

SHUDYESH: I think I understand what you’re saying. But nevermind. I’m listening.

MS SOVEETRA: See..your English is absolutely terrible. I know you were smart before. But,
now you’re the worst student in this class. This is 2 Ikram. The first class. You
weren’t paying attention when I teach and you didn’t even complete your
homework. You always tease your friends and start fighting with them
during the class.

SHUDHESH: Teacher, it’s not that I didn’t pay attention. I hate English. I’m not good at
English. I just didn’t really understand what you teach. So, I always lost my
interest.

MS SOVEETRA: If you don’t understand what I teach. You could have said to me. So, I could
guide you slowly. Oh god! Shudyesh, I want you to change your attitude
immediately. Stop giving excuses. Focus on your goal. I am here to guide you
and your friends will also be happy to help you.

SHUDYESH: But, I just hate English. I’m not interested to learn it.

MS SOVEETRA: You know what, Umierah hates English too. But, how did she managed to
get an A in the exam. That’s because she believe in herself. Just because we
we don’t like something, doesn’t mean we simply have to give up on it. As
long as we put our efforts, everything impossible will become possible.

SHUDYESH: Whatever teacher. I’m hungry.

NARRATOR: Shudyesh turns off his ears and walks towards the canteen. Ms Soveetra is
worried and inform this to Shudyesh’s father. Later, at home…

FATHER: Shudyesh, I just got a call from your English teacher today and she told me your
conversatation with her at school.

SHUDYESH: Wait…What?!

FATHER: What has gotten on to you? You’re great at other subjects but absolutely poor in
English. I don’t care you find English is boring or difficult. I want you to study hard.
Put more effort rather than just giving up. If you continue behaving like this,I
won’t hesitate to take away all your gadgets including TV. You want them
back, prove to me that you deserve to get it back.
NARRATOR: Shudyesh’s eyes widened with shock. He feels as if someone is punching on his
face over and over again.

SHUDYESH: But…but,dad..

FATHER: No buts. Go back to your room and do something useful.

NARRATOR: Shudyesh feels sad and angry at the same time. He runs out of the door. His
parents are calling after him. But, he keeps on running. He runs to his school
field. Izz sees him there.

IZZ: Shudyesh, what’s wrong? You look so sad.

SHUDYESH: My parents wants me to be good at English. But, I can’t.

IZZ: Shudyesh, English is very important. If you travel anywhere, you have to speak in
English. You told me you want to become a pilot, don’t you? You have to speak English
in order to become a awesome pilot.

SHUDYESH: Okay, I’ll try.

NARRATOR: A smile spreads on Shudyesh’s face and he get’s up with confidence.

SHUDYESH: Yes, I can do it. You are right. I’m not giving up. I’ll try my best to get all my
gadget’s back and I’ll chase my dreams to become a great pilot.

NARRATOR: That very night,he studies like he never did before. He starts by calling his
classmate, Umierah, who’s excellent at English.

SHUDYESH: Hello,Umierah..

UMIERAH: Hi, Shudyesh

SHUDYESH:How do I start?I don’t know where to begin.

UMIERAH: No worries, Shudyesh. In fact,English isn’t my favourite subject too.We shall start
with grammar. Let’s do it in a fun way. I’ll show you how.

SHUDYESH: Seriously? You are such a sweet friend, Umierah. Thank you.

NARRATOR: Shudyesh studies English every single day. He borrows English books from the
library and he seeks help and guidance from Ms Soveetra and Umierah.Time
flies and Shudyesh was getting better at English. One Shudyesh was doing his
work in the class. Then,Ms Soveetra…
MS SOVEETRA: Shudyesh, you are doing great at English now. You have been selected for
the best student in class.

SHUDYESH: Teacher, are you kidding me?

MS SOVEETRA: No, Shudyesh. If you keep effort now, you might get an A for your final
exam. Good job…

SHUDYESH: Yes, yes…I did it.

MS SOVEETRA: Don’t stop and don’t give up.Believe in yourself and put more effort.

SHUDYESH: Yes, teacher.Without you and my friends, I wouldn’t have suceed. Thank you
