[Time suggested : 25 minutes]
Questions 25 29 are based on a letter from the talk given below.
A very good morning to the Chairman of the Residents Club, ladies and
gentlemen.
First and foremost, thank you very much for inviting me to give a talk relating
to stress. Let me introduce myself, I am Dr Tunasya, a psychiatrist from the Pahang
General Hospital.

In todays modern and fast-moving society, practically everyone is very

stressed and tensed up. The question here is what do we do when we feel stressed?
Go for a walk, a jog or even a swim if you feel stressed out. You will find that
it makes difference and it costs you nothing. Go shopping or at least windowshopping. It helps you to release whatever stress you have. Go from one shop to
another, maybe you will come across to something that you like, lets say a dress or
a handbag or a wallet.
A person who is very stress needs someone to talk to. You will feel good that
someone is willing to lend you an ear. If you do not have anyone, try calling the
Befrienders. They are there for anyone around-the-clock.
Music, especially classical music, helps to sooth the nerves. So when you are
stressed, do listen to this type of music. It relieves you of your pain and stress. You
can try this, close your eyes and imagine that you are in a place where there is a
brook nearby. You can hear the soft waves beating against the bank. You can also
imagine that you are walking on the white soft sandy beach. Dream your stress
away.
I guess thats about all I have to say today. Thank you for your attention.

NOVEL

How I met myself

AUTHOR David A Hill

BRIEF
This story is about John Taylor, an Englishman who
SYNOPSIS worked in Budapest. One day as he was walking home
from work, he met a man who looked exactly like him.
He felt that the man was connected to him. In the
end, he found out that the man was his doppelganger;
a ghost from the past who came to help him save his
family.

Evidence

The character that interest me the most in the story is

John Taylor.

First, I like John Taylor because he is a very

determined person.

Justify

After he accidentally met his doppelganger, he set his

(E.1)

mind to find the truth. He returned to the place he

found the man and waited almost every day in the
hope that he would meet him. He asked people and
searched through newspaper article about a man
named Janos Szabo, who had lived at the place in
1945. His determination paid off and he understood
why the doppelganger came to find him.

Evidence

Besides, he is also a brave person.

2
Elaborati

He thought he had found a ghost; nevertheless, he

on (E.2)

goes all out to find out the truth. Not many people are
brave enough to face such encounter. He was also
brave enough to go into the burning caf to save his
wife.

Conclusio All in all, not only John Taylor a determined person, he

n

is also brave .These characteristics make him a very

admirable person and that is why I admire him.
