Money plays an important part in our lives. In several aspects, it is the most important thing in life. It is therefore much sought after.


Without money we could not buy our food, clothes & all the other things that we need to live comfortably. We require money lớn travel, to buy medicine when we areill and also to lớn pay for the services rendered to us by others. In truth, money is almost indispensable khổng lồ our survival. Most of our activities are therefore directed towards earning as much money as possible. Lack of money also causes great hardship and sorrow in hundreds of families.

The citizen is considered so important that his rights are protected by the law of the state, và whenever they are infringed, he can secure redress.

Of all the subjects that I study in school, I think that English is the most important subject. It is mainly through the Englishlanguage that we gain access to lớn the various sources of knowledge.

Knowledge of new discoveriesand inventions in one country is transmitted lớn other countries through English for the benefit of the world. In this way English helps khổng lồ spread knowledge & progress.

13. In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the incident you shall never forget.


Certain incidents so impress us that they leave an indelible mark on our memory. I was once involved in an incident of which I shall always have vivid recollections. The incident occurred when I visited a village in India together with my parents, sometime during my holidays last year.

Early in the morning on the day the incident occurred, I was talking with a few of my new friends in that village. All of a sudden, a boyof my age came rushing towards us to lớn break the news that violence had broken out in the neighbourhood.

There is music in the movements of the winds, the sea, as well as the trees; there is music in the calls of the birds, flies andinsects & also in the night of the birds & animals.

15. In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the advantages and disadvantages of the cinema.

The influence that the cinema exerts on the minds of those who visit it is at once beneficial and harmful.

The films shown in the cinema are often very instructive and informative. Almost every film shows something about the activities and customs of the people in other lands. By seeing such films, one learns a lot about human activities. One also gains a better understanding of people of the world.

Films which show the activities of criminals have encouraged many youths lớn commit acts or crime.

Today, it is not easy to lớn choose a career. Hundreds of students pass various examinations every year and compete with one another for positions in the various professions which are not so many as there are applicants. I would, however, like to choose teaching as my career.

Teaching is an interesting career for several reasons. As a teacher I can learn many things, especially if I teach khổng lồ an udder-secondaryschool. If I teach History or English, for example, I have to read many books lớn make my teaching lessons more interesting khổng lồ my pupils. Thus, I can acquire more knowledge of the subjects that I teach than what I can learn from the class text books.

22. In about 140 words, write a paragraph about a journey by train.

The house in which I lived before was near the railway station.

However, when my father decided lớn take up a new appointment in the place where we now live, it was decided that we should travel by train.

Until a few decades ago news travelled very slowly. It took several days to lớn know what was happening in places only a few miles away.

As a result, news too travelled very slowly. If one"s relative died in some distant place, one received the news of the death several days later. Sometimes there was no news at all.

Some countries are not rich in mineral resources. They have no iron or coal mines, while others have too many of them. Again, some countries are not suitable for agriculture while others have several fertile plains lớn grow crops.

A cobra, about six feet long, was lying along the water"s edge of one side of the stream in which we were fishing. Thinking that it was a fish, I gripped it at once and tried khổng lồ bring it out of the water.

Good manners play an important part in maintaining peace & good- will in a community.

But a man whose manners are bad has no respect for others. He uses words carelessly và behaves rudely towards other and causes a lot of ill- will and unpleasantness.

Though the zoo at JohoreBahru is not big, I found many kinds of interesting animals và other creatures there. Lions, tigers & other animals were moving about lazily in their cages.

Whenever they saw a visitor, they ran towards him and begged for something lớn eat.

Though I was seriously ill & required special attention, yet the knowledge that I was in the hospital made me feel miserable during the first few days.
