SAMPLE ANSWER 2.4 Directed Writing 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. A forest is a natural self – sustaining community characterized by the presence of trees. Human beings have realized many benefits from the trees in the form of timber, medicine, food and fuel. 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. As forests assure the preservation of water, their destruction causes effects such as extensive flooding, droughts, soil erosion and pollution. When trees are burnt or cut down, the carbon that has been stored up in the forests is incorporated into the atmosphere, thereby aggravating the greenhouse effect. Protecting the forests therefore is of paramount importance. Previous approaches to conserving rainforest have failed. These methods consisted of the closing off of forests such as creating parks and reserves and using guards and fences to secure boundaries. However, these were not effective at all due to lack of funds and cooperation from the public. Forest conservation must involve the government, private sector and people to work out well. I hope the short talk that I have delivered has given you some ideas on the effects of deforestation. Thank you for listening.

3.7 Sample Answer - Good (An Unexpected Visitor) It was comfortably warm in the living room and the fire crackling in the grate bathed the room in gold. He was quite comfortably seated in the old over – stuffed wingchair, a cup of tea at his side and the mornings newspaper on his lap. It was quite understandable then that when the doorbell rang, he groaned in resignation and very reluctantly left his nest. 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. “Oh, alright! Hold on, will you? I am coming!” he called irritatedly, hurrying along the hallway. He opened the door, prepared to give whoever was on the other side a good telling off. His words died on his tongue when he saw the small face framed in the all-tag familiar chestnut curls. She smiled tentatively at him and he felt his earlier irritation return and he scowled. “What are you doing here?”, he demanded stiffly, making no move to allow her to enter his abode. The soft smile on her lips faltered and she reached up to brush her hair behind her ears. “Well, I ………..” She tapered off and frowned severely at him, ‘I see that you have not learned any manners at all.” “I do apologise,” he replied just as sneakily, “I was in the bathroom when they were handing out manners and etiquettes.” “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?” He sat up straighter in his seat. “Marry whom?” he demanded very surprised. As far as he knows he is not engaged to anyone. He did not relish being bagged down by a wife or something similar. She searched his face, looking surprised, “Heather Biglow, of course!” “That mindless twist? You have to be joking!” 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 did it before, “ she said dryly. 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 grabbed the papers again and began riffling through them in desperation. “There has to be something we can do!” 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”. “Yes; Heather Biglow,” he said glumly.

- 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”. He stared at her as comprehension downed. She smiled at him and nodded. His father had caught him in a similar trap before. Dravian was forced to marry. Dravian Senior had chosen his first wife, and it was Cosette. “I did not think he even liked you!” 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”. “You…you want to marry me again?” he asked, flabbergasted. She shrugged easily, “Why not?” Then she blushed, I must admit I have missed you terribly”. “And I you,” he replied honestly. She pressed her lips against his in a chaste kiss. She pulled back when she saw his frown. “What is wrong?” “My father! I cannot believe he planned this! Interfering fellow – even in death I get no respite”. She hugged him, “Well, he always did say he knew best”. He stared down at the top of her head. “Yes……… he is right. You are the best for me.” Comments:-

• Portray good writing skills • Lots of details • Precise vocabulary • Potential ‘film director’

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.

My parents who wasn’t really happy with my sister’s decision to stay

there and get married at first reluctantly agreed /\ their marriage as my sister and her boyfriend had been together /\ quite sometime. After that, my sister decided to bring me and her husband for a ride around the town and neighbourhood. I followed her in her new bought car, Mazda 6. She was quite surprise with the drastic change and development of our neighbour hood and said that she /\ almost forgot the road to my house.

In the afternoon, my sister called my parents up and she wanted to

treat them a scrumptious meal in Thai Thong restaurant. She ordered many of my parent’s favourite food such as Sweetsour Pork and Curry Fish head. “I can’t believe she still remembers what my parents like” whispered my heart. After lunch, we went and my sister said she wanted /\ rest. At about 4 p.m. she got up and she asked me how I was doing at school. I told her I wasn’t doing so well and I didn’t know what my teacher was talking about. Then, she took the initiative to teach me whatever she knows and it did really help me understand the subjects better. At night, she cooked dinner

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. Comments:-

• Not so confident • Too insecure in too many places • Good features but lack of control • Patches of clear language

Section C [25 marks]

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 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.

10

3 Dental applications of lasers have been studied since lasers were first developed in the 1960s. Although they are more precise than many 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.

15

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 who uses lasers is properly trained and experienced.

25

5 Currently, dentists and dental hygienists can be trained by the laser manufactures through courses at some universities an through programmes sponsored by the academy. The Academy of Laser Dentistry, which promotes lasers in addition to training and certifying dentists to sue them, estimates that about 5% of dentists in the United States incorporate lasers into their practices.

30

6 Virtual dentistry, on the other hand, uses computer programmes to explore the many different treatments and allow students to practice on virtual patients. Before using this programme, it is important that the dentist must first find out the virtual patient profile. This profile enables dental surgeons to explore different treatments and more accurately, predicts results. One American dentist using lasers in his clinic said, “Most of the time, our explanations consists a lot of verbal descriptions and hand – waving. But with this programme, we can take what’s going inside our heads and show it to patients”. The patients can see his teeth on the computer screen.

35

40

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 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 practice of laser dentistry and virtual dentistry enable dentists to treat dental problems better. Many dental clinics are using the lasers instead of the dental drill. They make cavity treatment painless and reduce bleeding during surgery. It also detects tiny cavities and whitens teeth, besides preserving the surrounding tooth. Lasers are more sensitive in picking up cavities. After each treatment, healing is better and faster. Virtual dentistry uses compute programs to explore different types of treatment. On top of that, dentists and patients can see the teeth on the screen. Finally, computer programmes are like flight simulators for medical and dental students. However, as lasers produce high energy and heat, they can potentially damage the tooth and other tissues. Improperly trained dentist can cause harm to patients.

(128 words) 5.5.4 Model Answer for Literature

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.

Another reason why I dislike the doctor is because he is a criminal. When he sees that the baby is getting better, he realizes his services are not needed. Thus, he gives the baby some white powder, which later turns out to be poison, just to ensure that he will be able to come back and ‘cure’ the baby. This is criminal act and the doctor deserves to be punished. Fortunately, Kino does not fall for his trickery as he refuses to give the pearl to the doctor for safekeeping.

The doctor is greedy and dishonest. This is why it is easy to dislike this character.
