SAMPLE ANSWER I would choose to be a doctor because it is my childhood ambition. The working place is clean and comfortable, so it must be a place conducive to work. My job involves treating patients, which is my passion. I always have passion for the sick and poor. I hope to treat and help them in any way I can. I will also look smart when I wear the overcoat during my working hours. It is a simple and neat uniform. This job demands a lot of dedication and commitment but I am not afraid of the challenge. Furthermore, I am a very determined person who does not give up easily. Lastly, the pay is high, so it is sufficient for me to take care of my parents as well as my own family in future.26

Sample Reasons (with targeted marks)Level 1Passing Mark

Level 1: 1 2 marks Level 2: 2 3 marks Level 3: 4 5 marks Level 3 (2) I would go to Grandparents house in Sarawak because it would be nice to experience a different lifestyle away from the noisy polluted city and my same old routine. My caring grandparents reside in a wooden longhouse near the river. Therefore I hope to meet many people and also get a chance to bathe in the cool river water. If I do stay there for the upcoming school holidays, I will go jungle trekking and who knows I may spot a Rafflesia in the jungle. I also hope to collect fruits from an orchard. I have been told that it is not easy to collect fruits from an orchard but very rewarding because I can then enjoy the juicy fruits.

Level 3 (1) I would go to an aunts house because I have never been to an aunts house before. My aunt is staying in Pulau Pinang. Her house is an apartment in the city. I want to learn more about Pulau Pinang. I can play computer games with my cousins as I love to play computer games. I can also swim in the pool with my cousins as I want to learn swimming. My aunt can teach me how to swim as she is a swimming champion. I think this is the best place for me.

I would go to Grandparents house because the place is Sarawak. The type of house is a longhouse. The location is near the river. The activities are jungle trekking and collecting fruits from the orchard.

Level 2 I would go to Grandparents house in Sarawak because I can sleep in the longhouse. I can swim in the river. I can go jungle trekking. I can eat the fruits.

Syikin comes from a very poor family. Her father is a fisherman and her mother is a housewife. Her family has difficulties to make ends meet. Despite all these hardships, she never gives up on her study because she is a very determined and diligent girl. She scored 5As in the UPSR examination. She was also selected as the best pupil at the national level.

Her parents were very happy and proud of her achievement. They knew she would have a better future than them. The teachers at Syikins school were happy and proud that she had brought recognition to the school. Everyone who knew her congratulated her success.

At a special ceremony, the state government presented Syikin with a laptop and RM1000 for her outstanding achievement. She was also offered a scholarship to continue her education. A top boarding school in the country had accepted her.

Syikin was grateful to God that her hard work had brought success. Her parents did not need to worry about her future any more. She realised that one will succeed in life if one does not give up easily, just like the saying If theres a will, theres a way.

Suddenly, she heard a bell of an ice cream man. When she looked out of her window, there were a few children. The children were waiting to buy ice cream. She saw one girl with no money to buy some.

48

Level 2 Zila and Asiah are good friends. One day, they played congkak in Asiahs house. While busy playing congkak, they heard a bell jingle nearby. Asiah stood up and looked out of the window to find out the source of the noise. She then saw some children buying ice-cream from an ice-cream man. She also saw a poor girl next to the children. She did not have any money to buy an ice-cream. Out of sympathy, for the poor girl, Asiah went out of her house and bought three sticks of ice-cream. She then gave one to Zila and another one to the poor girl. The poor girl was happy and grateful that Asiah had helped her. She thanked both Asiah and Zila for their kindness.

Level 2 Last Saturday, Farah went to Ruwaydas house. They were very good friends. When Farah reached the house, they studied for half an hour and then started to play congkak. While playing congkak, they heard the house bell ring. Being wise girls, Farah and Ruwayda looked outside through the window before opening the door. They saw little children buying ice-cream from the ice-cream man that came to Ruwaydas house in the evenings. But there was a poor girl about the same age as the girls who had no money to buy an ice-cream. They bought an ice-cream and gave it to the poor girl. They also bought ice-creams for themselves. The girl was very happy and thanked Ruwayda and Farah.

Level 2 Last Wednesday, Adrini went to her best friends house, Aminah to play congkak. Both the girls are very honest with each other. While they were playing congkak in the living room, Aminah suddenly heard a bell ringing outside the house. Aminah looked out of the window and saw the ice-cream seller who usually came to her neighbourhood every day. She saw many children buying ice-cream. Aminah spotted a girl standing next to the ice-cream seller. Aminah pitied her because she had no money. Adrini and Aminah decided to buy ice-cream for themselves and the girl. They used their pocket money to buy three ice-creams. Aminah then gave one of the ice creams to the girl. She was very happy and thanked them for being kind-hearted.

Level 3 As the two good friends Ina and Mimi played a challenging game of congkak in Inas house, the shrill sound of the house bell interrupted their game. When Mimi got up and looked out of the window, she caught sight of the ice-cream man and his motorcycle. A few children had already crowded around him, asking for different varieties of ice-cream. Mimis eyes wandered over to a girl standing at one side. She was clothed in what seemed to be dirty rags, and it was obvious that she had no money to buy an ice-cream. Mimi immediately felt a surge of pity for her. She quickly beckoned Ina to follow her outside. Mimi and Ina bought themselves each an ice-cream and one more for the girl. They made their way to the solemn looking girl. Mimi handed the extra ice-cream to her. In a split second, a wide grin spread out on the girls face. She thanked Mimi and Ina quickly, savouring the taste of her ice-cream. Mimi and Ina felt proud for helping the girl and then bade her goodbye.

Level 3 One day, Zahira was in the living room playing congkak with her best friend. Suddenly, a loud bell made them almost jump out of their skin. Zahira went to the window and looked out. It was the ice-cream truck! The ice cream man was there and as usual, many children were waiting to buy an ice-cream. Suddenly Zahira caught sight of a girl. She was dressed in ragged clothes and was looking longingly at the icecreams. Zahira then got angry at the ignorance of the other children about the poor girl. Her heart went out to her. She then decided to take some money and buy her an ice-cream. She bought three ice-creams; one for herself, one for her friend, and one for the poor girl. The girl was so happy and thanked Zahira for the ice-cream. Then, the girl ran back home. The incident took place six weeks ago but was still clear in her mind and she never regretted learning the meaning of kindness.
