Although I was born in Goa, India, I was brought up and educated here, in Malaysia.For me, Malaysia is a wonderful country. We are 9 with natural beauty - pristinebeaches, refreshing greenery and an abundance of flora and fauna.

As I love Malaysia so much, the idea of settling down in another country has nevercrossed my mind. Some of my friends migrated a few years ago to seek greener pastures.

lTime suggested : 50 minutesl

Questions 26 - 3l are based on the following passage.

Pay It Forward is a book, written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which was latermade into a movie of the same name. In the movie, a young boy, Trevor,was challenged by his teacher to come up with an idea that could change the worldand to put this idea into action. Trevor decided to do a kind deed for three differentpeople. These people then did the same to others. Each of these three people thendid the same good deed for three other people. As a result, Trevor's one good deedled to nine acts of kindness and so the cycle continued.

Trevor may just be an imaginary character, but this work of fiction has been putinto practice by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, an organisation set up toencourage people to carry out good deeds. People all over the world are experiencingthe pleasure of having kind deeds done for them and they in turn reciprocate.

There are countless ways for people to show acts of kindness. It is not limitedto giving money by donating to a needy cause, but we can also take time out to listento someone who has a problem and needs a friend. "Somebody paid for my order ata restaurant once," says Syed Haizir. "It really made my day, so I try to do somethingsimilar as often as I can," he adds. Au Yeong, a student, also found inspiration fromthe movie, Pay It Forward. On some days, he buys copies of newspapers and putsa note between the pages saying, "Enjoy reading ... from someone who just wantsto be kind." Then he gives the newspapers free to people wait ing at the bus-stopor at the train station.

A little creativity is very helpful in making others happy. If you come acrossa humorous comic strip or an inspiring article, cut it out. Pass it on to someone whomight be interested in reading it. This will put a smile on their face. Put together writingkits with stationery, envelopes, stamps or art supplies and hand them over to patientsat a hospital. These items will come in handy to help patients keep in touch with friendsas well as to keep them occupied. You can give students inexpensive raincoats whichthey can keep in their bags. On rainy days, these will really be appreciated: textbooksand uniforms can be kept dry, and colds may be prevented. A small act of kindnessgoes a long way.

There are indeed many ways to show kindness. You may think that being kind willcost you a lot of money. Even those with the kindest hearts can be overwhelmed bythe idea of doing charity because they think it will take up too much of their time.However, you can do good deeds for others with just what you have, and thewonderful thing is that there are a lot of benefits for the people who do these deeds.When people help others, they feel great about what they do. They experiencea greater sense of well-being which is critically important as it helps to reduce commonproblems like stress and depression. These people will be able to cope better withtheir own worries and problems.

Kindness has a way of catching on. Acts of kindness will give rise to more actsof kindness. When more people show kindness to each other, society will undergochanges. As each good turn leads to the next, the effect will multiply, thus producinga caring society where people will be more concerned for others. Consequently,this will lead to more positive effects like a lower crime rate and happier crtizens.

Now and then the bushwoman lays down her work and watches and listensand thinks. She has few pleasures to think of as she sits here alone by the fire,on guard against a snake. All days are much the same to her; but on Sundayafternoons, she dresses herself, tidies the children, smartens-up baby and goesfor a lonely walk along the bush track, pushing an old perambulator in front ofher. She does this every Sunday. She takes as much care to make herself andthe children look smart as she would if she were going to "do the block" in thecity. There is nothing to see, however, and not a soul to meet. You might walkfor twenty miles along this track without being able to fix a point in your mind,unless vou are a bushman.
