 Model Answer 1
As a student, I get pocket money daily from my parents. They usually give me RM10.00 to
spend on food and drinks during recess in school. Occasionally, my mother makes sandwiches
or fried rice for me. Whatever is left of the money is kept in a piggy bank in my room, safely
tucked away from my younger brother’s eyesight. In addition, during special occasion like my
birthday or Hari Raya celebration, I’ll receive some money from my parents, grandparents and
other relatives.
I often spend my money on workbooks and reference books which are necessary for me as I
do not attend any tuition classes. Once in a blue moon , I’ll treat my younger brother by buying
him a toy. Since my target is to get better grades in the coming examinations. I prefer buying
books for subjects which I need to improve on like Chemistry, Biology and Additional
Mathematics. My favourite place to buy these books is a shop that belongs to my friend’s uncle.
This is because he gives me extra discounts.
Furthermore, I am thankful to my parents who have instill in me the importance of saving
money for a rainy day. Hence, I do not buy things on impulse. New mobile phone? Well, I got
mine from doing extra chores for my parents during weekends. I also run errands for my
SLIDESMANIA.COM

neighbours. Every month, I will collect old newspapers from their houses and send them to a
recycling centre nearby.

A film review: Iron Man 3
By: Aretha Wong3
I am not a great fan of action films so I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Iron Man 3.
However, I was pleasantly surprised by this action-packed follow-up to the first two
Iron Man films. It is afictional superhero movie which I was lured to watch it since it
hit the box office of close to USD 590 million.
The plot isn’t particularly sophisticated. It revolves around an attempt by the shadowy
villain Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) to launch terror attacks on the United States, and Iron Man’s
(Robert Downey Junior) superhuman efforts to foil his plans.
The acting is first-rate, as you would expect from starts like Downey Jr, Kingsley and
Gwyneth Paltrow, and they are well supported by the rest of the cast. The script is witty and
clever, with lots of snappy dialogue and many amusing moments. Visually the film is superb,
with spectacular special effects that are a hallmark of the Iron Man movies.
Overall, Iron Man 3 is highly entertaining. It isn’t a deep or complex film, but as a two –
SLIDESMANIA.COM

hour action movie, I can’t fault it. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to almost anybody.

 Model Answer: Story (part 3)
A Dream Comes True
We have dreams practically every night. Some of these dreams are remembered
vividly. Other dreams, however, are forgotten as soon as we wake up. I often dream about
flying. When I wake up, the sensation of being high up in the air remains with me and this
makes me learn more about aircraft. I become more and more interested and I believed soon I
will have to disappoint my parents.
My parents have told me several times that they would like me to take up architecture.
But I know that my aptitude is different. My mother was very frightened when I told her of my
dream. She mentioned all the air crashes she had read about and told me that it is a hazardous
occupation. My father is not concerned about the hazards and it seems he wants to realise in
me an ambition which he had nursed in his youth. My friends seem to think that being a pilot is
a good job as any other, but they wonder if I am suited for it. Some of my friends think that I am
only interested in the idea of being a pilot and have warned me against deceiving myself.
I should think that this idea developed in me when at the age of nine, my father took me
for a joy ride on a Cessna. I still remember its name – The Sky Hawk. I watched what the pilot
SLIDESMANIA.COM

did from the time of take-off until landing. I then imagined myself strapped in the cock-pit,
handling the controls. When an air show was held, I went everyday of the week to see the
demonstrations. It was this air show I believe, that made me more determined. I am a member
 Model Answer: Story (part 3)
of the Air-Training Corps. One of my hobbies is building model aircraft, and I have more then a
dozen plastic models suspended from the ceiling of my room. I also make aircraft models with
balsa wood and paper, and spend hourd flying them in the open field next to my house.
I feel that I have the necessary qualities to become a pilot. My little mathematical ability
should enable me to study to theoretical part of pilot’s course. I am in science stream and
Physics subject I learn at school will be an advantage. My vision is 6/6 and I am above the
average in height. My school has developed in me a sense of responsibility and I am safety-
conscious.
I dream to be commercial pilot handling passenger aircraft. Being a commercial pilot
has several material advantages. Commercial pilots are very highly paid and are also given
many fringe benefits. They can travel to all the countries in the new itinerary. When out of the
country, they are given excellent accommodation and other benefits.
As other boys of my age, I have a dream. The realization of it may not be possible.
None the less, I have at least the satisfaction of having a goal before me and the desire to reach
it, will give me sufficient motivation. I now work harder at scoring better grades for most of my
SLIDESMANIA.COM

subjects as I aim to get that scholarship which will get me to a college and graduate with a
bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering.
