READING ALOUD

Consolidation 1
You have been asked to tell a story to your friends during a bonfire at a motivational camp. You have prepared
an interesting story which you would like to share with them. Read the text aloud.

A man was in the living room watching a football match. With him was his lively and curious five-
year-old daughter. Her father was not at home very often, so she was very happy to have him around.
Every now and then, she would disturb him with questions. Her father was annoyed.
Finally, her father could not take it any longer. He took a magazine and ripped a page with the
world map on it. Then he ripped it in smaller pieces and called out to his daughter.
‘Sweetheart, help Dad put the map back together. Once you are done, I’ll take you out for some
delicious ice cream,’ said her father. Her daughter gleefully agreed. Soon, silence ensued and her
father continued watching his football match, feeling relieved. He was sure that his daughter would
never get to put the pieces back together. It would take her hours, if she ever did, at the very least.
Fifteen minutes later, the girl jumped up and shouted excitedly, ‘Yay! Daddy, I’ve finished it!
Let’s have that ice cream!’ The man was puzzled. He asked his daughter how she could finish the
patching so quickly.
The five-year-old simply replied, ‘Oh, there was a man’s face on the other side of the paper. I
just put the face back together properly, so the map was rightly matched too!’ The man sat there in
disbelief. Later, while watching his daughter savour her ice cream, he thought of how a problem could
easily be solved by just looking at it from a different perspective.

Consolidation 2
You have been asked to tell a story to your friends during a class outing. You have written an interesting story
which you would like to share with them. Read the text aloud.

Sarah had been married for ten years before she finally got pregnant. So, her husband, Jim, and
she were very excited to finally have a baby. One day, after getting a check-up from the hospital, Jim
was driving Sarah home. Out of the blue, a car appeared and crashed into their car. Jim was lightly
injured, but Sarah suffered a concussion and fell into a coma.
Six months later, Sarah woke up. Jim was so happy and his eyes were moist. After embracing each
other for some time, Sarah suddenly panicked. She had noticed that she was no longer pregnant. ‘Dear,
where is our baby?’ she asked frantically. Jim was unable to contain his excitement and happiness.
‘Don’t worry, Dear. You gave birth safely. Dear, you were actually pregnant with twins!’ answered
Jim. Sarah was so glad and her little eyes filled with tears. She felt more blissful when Jim told her
they had a daughter and a son. The babies were brought to her soon, and while cooing them, she
asked for their names. Jim told her that she gave birth very suddenly and he was late in arriving. So,
the one who named the babies was her brother, Ted. Upon hearing this, she was anxious.
‘Dear, tell me their names!’ cried Sarah. Jim fell silent for a while. When she urged him again, he
finally said, ‘The girl’s name is Denise.’ Sarah was relieved.
‘What about the boy?’ she asked. Jim burst into tears and Sarah felt an ominous feeling.
‘T-the boy’s name is Denephew.’

Paper 2
SECTION A: READING ALOUD
(10 marks)
(Time suggested: 5 minutes)

Read this instruction to candidate.

You have been asked to tell a story to your class during the English Week. You have written an interesting story
which you would like to share with your friends. Read the text aloud.

The tunnel was long and dark. I could hear my heart thumping and my hands were
trembling as Khalaf and I groped around on our hands and knees in the dark. The opening
was just big enough for one of us to squeeze through at a time. “Ouch! That hurt!” we both
yelled out in pain as we crawled.

When we finally came out of the tunnel, we came into a bigger chamber of the cave.
There was a small opening up on the ceiling. A narrow beam of sunlight penetrated through
it into the cave. All around us was darkness and silence. Both of us kept close to each other,
afraid of being separated. We had been separated from our group for what seemed like ages.
Once in a while we gave a shout for help, hoping that someone would hear us.

At first, we could brave ourselves and remained optimistic of being found. But as time
wore on, our spirits became low and we became more and more nervous. We did not venture
around, fearing we might be getting further away from help. All we could do was to wait.

Suddenly, there were claps of thunder and I rolled

over. Thud! Thud! I had fallen off my bed. My parents,
who came in to make sure the windows were closed,
found me on the floor. I related my bad dream to them
and Mum decided to accompany me for the rest of the
night. This was one of my most unforgettable dreams.

Such richness in biological

the nation’s forests. Despite
the war with timber logging
and illegal trading of the
wildlife, the Malaysian
government has managed to
keep the forest population at 60
per cent of the total land area.
To date, Malaysia has 16 per
cent of totally protected forest
areas out of the whole total land
area. However, some of the fauna
species in Malaysia’s forests,
