SAMPLE ANSWER
Good morning teachers and fellow students. First, I must thank the
principal for giving me the opportunity to speak today. The topic of my speech
is “Effects of Deforestation”. You might be alarmed to know that since 1950, a
fifth of the world’s forest cover has been removed. At least 55% of the world’s
productive temperate rainforest has been cleared.
The result has been a steady loss of natural forest. The clearing of forest
leads directly to a loss of animal habitat and thus, a decline to a large part of
the planet’s biodiversity. The plant species are disappearing together with the
forests.
I hope the short talk that I have delivered has given you some ideas on the
effects of deforestation. Thank you for listening.

The doorbell rang again, the person at the door punching the ringer
repeatedly as if there was some urgency to the matter of the visit.
“Well, I ………..” She tapered off and frowned severely at him, ‘I see
that you have not learned any manners at all.”
“Are you not going to invite me in? It is cold out here, Dravian.
“What are you doing here?” he repeated, blocking the doorway with his
bulk and crossing his arms across his chest.
“We will talk about it over tea,” she snapped back and pushed him
aside roughly. He scowled at her back as she carefully dusted the snow off
her coat and hung it in the closet. She turned and caught his eye. She grinned
teasingly at him and lifted an eloquent eyebrow. “The usual then”
His features settled into a neutral expression and he stared back at her
silently. She laughed and shook her head and headed for the kitchen. He
stood motionless for a moment as a small spark of forgotten longing tugged
his heart. He ran a hand distractedly through his dark hair and sighed.
He went to tidy his study, putting away the scattered books and closing
the drawer of his desk properly. He smiled when he thought back on her
aggravation on his half-open drawers. He glanced at the clock and exited the
room, closing the door firmly behind him.
Dravian stirred his drink moodily and they both kept their silence. At
last he put aside teaspoon and cleared his throat. “I presume you wanted to
see me for something?”
- 13 -

She nursed her drink before answering, “I had quite a shock yesterday,
Dravian. I know our marriage has long been over and annulled, but I still have
to know; do you really plan on marrying that girl?”
Cosatte frowned and sipped her Earl Grey again, “This is all very
confusing business, Dravian. An attorney visited me last night and told me”
She stopped herself. “I had better show you the letter,” she said at last and
dug into her purse.
He leaned forward to take the envelope from her and as he did, his
fingers brushed hers and it was a disconcerting moment for him. He felt the
jolt of electricity run down his spine. He masked his awkwardness by
coughing.
Dravian pulled several sheets of paper from within the envelope and
began scanning them. His eyes grew steadily wider at each line and at last,
he threw the stock onto the table. “An arranged marriage?” he spluttered
indignantly, his face red. “I cannot believe it!”
He took a steadily breath. Yes, she was right. His father had done this
before. Silently, he cursed the old man’s will. His father had arranged a
marriage for him. The terms of the contract was simple; marry the woman
Dravian Senior had chosen or lose the estate.
He missed the small smile on Cosette’s lips. “Well, yes. There is one
thing…..”.
He turned questioning eyes to her. She pushed back her chair and
stood, brushing off the crumbs from her dress before making her way over to
him. Gently, she pulled the documents from his trembling fingers. She silently
selected a page and handed it to him. Quickly, he read the page. “What?” he
asked blankly.
“Dravian, read this line. It says that you have to marry the woman your
father chose for you”.
- 14 -

“Her name is not printed here. Think, Dravian,” she emphasised “think”’,
“Your father was an intelligent man and a horribly good schemer. “The
woman”, Dravian, not “Heather Biglow”.
She threw back her head and laughed. Her mirth soon subsided and
she held his gaze. “How about it?” I fit the bill; he chose me before to be your
wife”.
She shrugged easily, “Why not?” Then she blushed, I must admit I
have missed you terribly”.
She pressed her lips against his in a chaste kiss. She pulled back
when she saw his frown. “What is wrong?”

3.8 Sample Answer - Moderate (An Unexpected Visitor)
I could still remember how I cried and whined like a baby when I saw
my dear darling sister left for Australia. Her company sent her there two
years ago because she had a major project to do there. As usual, early that
morning , I would wake up, brush my teeth and run down for my “Koko –
Krunch” breakfast just like every other day. However, on one particular
morning as I was having my meal, the door bell rang and my father asked
me to open the door. With a grumpy facial expression, I went to open the
door unwillingly. Once I turned the door knob, I saw a familiar face, one that
I had missed since two years ago. It was my sister with all her luggage and
she’s returned home. So, I quickly ran into the house cheering and
welcoming my dear sister which did put on quite some weight since the last
time I saw her.
My parents who thought I was talking rots came and see who was the
visitor at the door. They were surprised that my sister was standing rigt
infront the door. Then, I heard a deep voice with a little Australian accent
saying, “Darling, please introduce them to me.” My parents and I was
shocked to see that my sister has brought back her Australian boyfriend,
Rick Thomas to our house. After greeting my father and mother, both my
sister and her boyfriend entered my house. My parents who was clueless on
why my sister had suddenly came back without any notice gladly served
both she and her boyfriend food.
While eating, my sister explained that her company /\ sent her back
here because her work up in Australia is done. Her boyfriend, who was quiet
all along, added that they had decided to stay in Australia and work there.
We were quite shocked to hear that my sister and her boyfriend are staying
there and getting married and they said that one of the reasons why she /\
came back was to get my parent’s blessing.
- 16 -
<< >>
for my family without my mother’s help. It was really a delicious meal and
her cooking /\ improved tremendously since the last time.
During that whole week of stay, my sister brought me out and took me
to dine much rare delicacies which I myself haven’t tasted before although I
live in Malaysia. Some which includes German sausage which cost RM 15
for one, and sushi, a Japanese food which I haven’t heard /\ before. Though
it was only a week of stay in my house, it did cause an impact on my life on
my life and with her guidance in Mathematics, my results improved.
When it was time for her to go, my heart felt very broken and hurt
because I know I will never get to see my darling sister in the near future.
Now, when I think and flash back, I was to see the “Unexpected Visitor”
which came and changed my life forever.

Questions 26 – 30
Read this passage and then answer the questions that follow.
1 In the past few years, there have been two dramatic changes in the
treatment of a very important part of us, our teeth. One change is the use of
lasers in extracting teeth and filling up tooth cavities. The other change is the
introduction of virtual dentistry. Both have helped the dentist tremendously in
treating the tooth problems of their patients. 5
- 30 -
<< >>
2 Lasers have replaced the dental drill and the scalpel in the dentists’
rooms. They are making 5 cavity treatment painless and reducing bleeding
during surgery. Yes, this is the latest development in the field of dentistry
known as laser dentistry. It uses various instruments, each using a slightly
different type of light, to cut gums, soft tissues and even enamel. It also 10
detects tiny cavities and whitens teeth. Yet, they remain outside the
profession’s mainstream, and dental schools do not currently train students
how to use them.
3 Dental applications of lasers have been studied since lasers were first
developed in the 1960s. Although they are more precise than many 15
conventional instruments, they have not completely replaced conventional
high – speed drills or other cutting tools on the dental clinics. The other
advantages are that dental laser minimize the pain of treating small cavities
while helping to preserve more of the surrounding tooth. Lasers are more
sensitive than the human eye in picking up tiny pit and fissure cavities. 20
4 In gum surgery, where the lasers not only cuts but can staunch
bleeding by coagulation, healing is better and faster. On the other hand, since
lasers produce energy and heat, they can potentially damage the tooth or
other tissues, especially if they are used at too high a power for too long. A
word of caution for dental patients. They should make sure that their dentist 25
who uses lasers is properly trained and experienced.
7 What happens is that a very accurate likeness is created with the four
tools: a normal computer using a jaw motion tracker, a dental camera that
takes pictures inside the mouth, a CT scanner to create X – ray – type photos
and images of a plaster model to capture the shape the external flesh. So 45
now, instead of mentally reconstructing the past when they try to explain how
to do these procedures, they can send someone a CD – Rom with the surgery
on it in 3 – D. Such computer programmes are a sort of flight simulator for
medical and dental students.

5.5.3 Sample Answer for Summary
The character that I dislike most in The Pearl by John Steinbeck is the doctor.
He is an unethical doctor who chooses to treat only rich patients. When Kino’s
son, Coyotito, is stung by the scorpion, the doctor refuses to treat the child
because he says Kino and Juana will never be able to pay him. His attitude is
the opposite of good doctors who are supposed to treat everybody equally.
However, when he discovers that Kino has found the great pearl, he
smugly announces to the villagers that Kino is on of his patients. The doctor
shows that he is insincere when he decides to go to the brush houses to pay
Coyotito a visit. He has never set his foot anywhere near the village before.
Obviously, Kino’s great pearl is his only reason for going to the brush houses.
The doctor is greedy and dishonest. This is why it is easy to dislike this
character.
