Questions 27 to 32
You are going to read an article written by a barista at a cafd. Six sentences have been removedfrom the
article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap Q7 to 32). There are two extra
sentences whichyou do not need to use.

Markyour answers onthe separate answer sheet.

All in a Day's Work

I used to love the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The aroma of the coffee beans being heated up and
releasing its delicious smells into the air atthe cafe I work in would make me instantly thirsty for a nice

hot cuppa. 27 I guess that is what happens to overworked and underpaid staff when they are no

longer excited to go to work.

A big law firm has set up office beside the caf6 and since then, we have had very good business.
Don't get me wrong, more customers mean higher profits and my boss is smiling all the way to the bank.
28 I wouldn't be complaining if we worked on a commission basis, but we don't.

When I reach home and finally get to sit down and rest, my mind is still working thinking of a
solution. 29 Making a good cup of coffee not only depends on the barista's skill, but it also takes
a lot of time to get it right.

Therefore, I think that the best way to create a win-win situation for everyone is to hire more staff.

I think if we had more workers, we could keep up with all the orders without being run off our feet.
30 More hands make light work, right?

The issue now is how to convince the cafe owner that we should be hiring more staff. 31

We may have to write a letter and get everyone to sign it so that she knows it is a group decision.

On the other hand, we could just nominate one person to tell our boss about it verbally. 32
The last time someone suggested something to her which she did not like, she yelled at the top of her
voice! Nevertheless, I know I have to voice it out because no one else would even dare. Good luck to

Questions 33 to 40
We interviewed six teenagers about what money monagement means to them. Read the texts below and
answer the questions thatfollow.

A - N,[.IZAN, 16 years old

Learning how to manage money should start from a young age. Children should learn to save
coins and smaller notes first in money boxes and later in personal bank accounts. I believe that
when you start saving money from a young age, it becomes a habit that helps us manage money
better as adults.

B - SUI LING, 14 years old


When I was younger, I helped my grandmother sell dumplings. I realised then that no one need go
hungry if we work hard and know how to save money. I learnt how to manage my money from
my grandmother. We would count out our earnings, put aside money to buy new ingredients then
divide the rest between spending money and savings.

C - CHITRA, L7 years old


I never had to worry about money before the economic downturn. After that, my parents could
no longer afford to buy me a new car for my eighteenth birthday. However, they had practised
good money management when I was a child and had an education savings account for me.
I can still afford to continue my studies.
D - NURUL, 13 years old
My teacher taught us about money management. She told us that we should divide our pocket
money into three categories. We should have different money jars and label them for daily
expenses, savings for emergencies and savings for certain goals like buying a smartphone.
I really want to try her savings technique.

E- AMI& 15 years old

I want to buy games online but my parents told me that it is a waste of money and poor money
management to just spend money on online games. Well, I aim to do well in my studies, get a
good job and earn enough to own my own credit card. I can buy anything online then.

F - NORDIANA, 17 years old


Now that I am in my final year of secondary school, I am starting to worry about financial matters.
I think that our education system doesn't prepare us sufficiently for life after school. I have no
clue how to do things like pay taxes, invest my money in unit trusts or shares, buy life insurance
or pay for a medical card. I think students need a proper course on money management to make
us more financially responsible adults.
Questions 33 to 36
Which paragraph (A-F) describes thefollowing experiences of money management?
Markyour qnswers onthe separate answer sheet.

Statements Paragraph

33 I am notprepared to make goodfinancial decisions.

34 I am interested in a new money management technique.

35 I learned how to manage money through hands-on experience.

36 I am thankful that my parents are forward-thinking in money matters.
