Hui Min bought (12) a orange T-shirt because it was on sale. The shoes there are (13) cheap than at the shop near my house, so I bought a pair for school.

My mother always drives (14) careful when the roads are busy on weekends. She also says we (15) must to keep our bags close to us in crowded places. My little brother (16) don't like shopping, so he usually stays at home with my father.

Question 17

STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD

Klang, Monday. More than 300 Form 1 students of SMK Bukit Melawati learned how to stay safe on the road at the school's first Road Safety Day last Friday. The event was organised by the school's Road Safety Club, with help from the Klang police.

The programme began at 8.00 a.m. with a talk by Sergeant Hasnah Ibrahim. The talk was first planned for the school hall, but because the air-conditioning was broken, it was moved to the library. The sergeant told the students that many accidents happen near schools because drivers go too fast and walkers do not use the crossing. She also showed a short video of a boy who ran across a busy road without looking.

After the talk, club members led the students to the school field, where they had built a zebra crossing with paint and traffic cones. The students took turns to practise crossing the road safely. The police also gave 50 free helmets to students who cycle to school.

At the end of the day, there was a quiz. The winner, Hakim Zulkifli from 1 Dedikasi, won a bicycle light. “I will always look left and right before I cross the road,” he said. The principal, Puan Zainab Mokhtar, said that the school will hold Road Safety Day every year.

The Science project is due next Monday. We have to work in pairs, so let's do it together in the library on Wednesday.
Take care, and see you soon!

Question 42

In your English class, you have been talking about places that people like to visit.
In about 90 words, write an essay about a place you like to visit.
You must use the notes below to help you.
Notes: A place I like to visit. Where it is: name of the place, how you get there. What you do there: things you do, who goes with you. Why you like it: how you feel, what is special. Your own idea.
[20 marks] Write your essay.
Show answerHide answer
Model answer (94 words)
My favourite place to visit is my grandparents' village in Kedah. It is about three hours from my house, so we usually go there by car during the school holidays.
In the village, my cousins and I catch fish in the river, ride bicycles along the paddy fields and help my grandmother cook.
I like this place because the air is fresh and quiet, and I feel very happy there. It is also special because my grandparents always welcome us with delicious food.
One day, I would like to bring my friends there too.

Choose a real place you know well. Turn each box into one paragraph: where it is and how you get there, what you do there, and why you like it. Write each note as a full sentence, then add one more sentence with a detail, an example or a reason. Your own idea counts as content too, so give it its own short sentence. Keep to about 90 words: one or two sentences for each note is enough.

This part is marked with the same official rating scale as Part 1: Content, Communicative achievement, Organisation and Language, 0 to 5 marks each (see the table under Paper 2 Part 1). Band 5 for Content means every note is covered and relevant, so the reader is fully informed; a missing note or no own idea drops Content to about 3.
