EXERCISE Read the following book review and complete the table that follows.

The book, ‘The Life of Mahatma Gandhi’ is written by Louis Fischer and has been hailed as the best biography of Gandhi. It narrates the life of Gandhi who led the fight for India’s independence from British rule and the many issues that led to his assassination by a Hindu fanatic a few months after freedom was won.

The biography shows Gandhi as a great human being – a leader who was gentle, conscientious and honest. He stood for righteousness. Gandhi gave up all his desires and sacrificed his life for the sake of the country. He went through many fasts, demonstrated against colonial powers in a peaceful manner and went to jail so that his country could be free.

Reading the book, reminds me of what Enstein said of Gandhi. ‘Generations to come will scarce believe that such a person ever walked in flash and blood upon this earth.’

It is a real pleasure to read about Gandhi. This book is very relevant in today’s world of corruption and greed. It is a must-read for those interested in reading biographies.

- introduces topic - answers most of the WH questions

GEORGETOWN - A Hari Raya gathering here showed that people of all faiths can come together in harmony. Some 70 guests, including mosque and church officials, attended the dinner held at the Hotel Royal Penang here. The event was organised by Global Unity Network, a non-governmental organisation from Kuala Lumpur, with the support of Christians for Peace and Harmony in Malaysia (CPHM) and Islamic Propagation Society International.

CPHM chairman Rev Wong Kim Kong said the event was aimed at promoting peace and harmony among people of diverse religions.

“We hope the priests and imam leave the dinner with more racial acceptance and recognise each other’s beliefs to have mutual coexistence,” he said when met at the event yesterday.

Rev Wong said they needed to start small and work at the grassroots level to create understanding among religions.

Global Unity Network president Shah Kirit Kakulal Govindji said the main purpose of the dinner and sharing session was for the imam and priests to take back what they have exchanged to their places of worship.

“Even priests and imam have their misconceptions. My hope is that after this, they can call one another and resolve issues.

“There is a lot of prejudice between Muslims and non-Muslims and vice versa.

“The aim is to promote peace and accept our differences,” said Shah who received the Selangor Tokoh Maal Hijrah award in 2010.

He said racial and religious tension was growing around the world and it was important to address issues and not point fingers at others.

“All religions are not the same, we have doctrinal differences but many similarities as well.

“Let us focus on the similarities rather than the differences,” he said, adding that he hoped to hold more events celebrating diversity within Malaysia in the near future.

Shah said this was the first event held by his NGO out of Kuala Lumpur.

Global Unity Network was registered with the Registrar of Societies in 2015 to create a platform for Muslims and non-Muslims to understand each other’s religions.

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to: i. Answer 5 out of 7 questions correctly.

What are Phrasal Verbs?

• What are phrasal verbs?

• A phrasal verb is a verb made up of a verb and another word (either a preposition or a particle). Examples: – – – –

To run into To come across To catch up To look up

• A phrasal verb has a different meaning to the verb used in the phrasal verb. For example, to run into does not mean the same as to run.

• A phrasal verb is also known as multi-word verb or a compound verb.

• Phrasal verbs are categorized into two:– Transitive Phrasal Verbs (can take a direct object) – Intransitive Phrasal Verbs (do not take a direct object)

• Examples for • Transitive Phrasal Verbs *phrasal verbs are in italic & direct objects are in bold – Fill in the form as quickly as possible.

– I will look into it immediately.

• Intransitive Phrasal Verbs *phrasal verbs are in italic – If you have done, please stand up.

– The tree could fall down.

What are Phrasal Verbs?

• Separable and Inseparable Phrasal Verbs • Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. This means the direct object appears between the verb and the preposition. For example: – She will make me up like a princess.

– She talked her father into letting her attend the party.

• Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. This means the direct object appears after the preposition. For example: – I look up to my father.

– We must stick to the plan at all costs.

• Lots of transitive phrasal verbs can be used in a separable way or an inseparable way. For example: – She looked my address up in the school magazine. (separable) – She looked up my address in the school magazine. (inseparable) – She looked it up in the school magazine. (separable)

• Note: • When the direct object is a pronoun (like it), you cannot use the inseparable way.

Save Water Water is the basic requirement of our body and thus life. Water is also named as ‘life’ because of being important element for all the living beings. Nothing can go on without water on the earth. It turns out that three-fourth part of the earth is water. However, only 2% of the water is usable for us. At some places in India, people face water scarcity and draught condition whereas, in other places there is plenty of water available. So, the people living in areas with plenty of water must realise its importance and save water.

8

We are living in the time when we need to save clean water and use it according to our use only. People at many places in India and other countries are putting up with a huge water scarcity. They have to depend on the government water supply by tanks or some natural water reservoirs at long distance. They have been forced into going for a long distance on daily basis to arrange drinking water. They better understand the value of water than the people who have sufficient water supply in their areas. The situation of lack of water becomes very terrible for the people who don’t have enough water to fulfill their basic needs of drinking, bathing, washing, etc.

18

India is one of the countries worldwide which is put through a huge level water scarcity today. Places in India like Rajasthan and some parts of Gujarat are facing water scarcity where women and girls of the houses cover a long distance on bare foot to just get a pot of water. In some cities like Bangalore, people have to buy water bottles worth Rs. 25 to Rs. 30 to drink clean water. People face off more problems during summer months when the daily need of water increases. Recently, it is studied that around 25% urban population lacks availability to clean drinking water. In some areas, the privatization of water bodies is the main reason of water scarcity.

There are different methods we can follow to save clean drinking water to deal with the water scarcity. Rain water harvesting is one of the most effective and suitable method among save water techniques. Afforestation is also best method as it reduces the surface runoff and recharges the ground water. It gives off underground water conservation. By practicing such methods we can conserve more water naturally and ensure the availability of it for future generations. We should take a pledge and make up a lifelong motto of “Save water, save life, save earth”.

28

36

We should teach simple methods of water saving to our children, women and other members of the family like turning off all the taps tightly after each use, using sprinklers to water the lawn, giving bath to pets in the lawn, repair of all the leaking pipes, harvesting rain water for purposes like watering plant, washing clothes, etc. We should also practice keeping the river (especially Ganga) water clean and safe for future use and safety of water animals.

43

Water is known as the elixir of life, so we should save it to save life on the earth. We need water for many purposes in our daily walks of life. So, we should understand the value of water drops and save it.

Tips on answering questions regarding reading comprehension:

• Scan through the entire article first. Try to get a general idea on what the article is about.

• Pay close attention to the words that are underlined or being bold as the questions are most likely linked to these words.

• Focus on the questions. Bare the questions in mind and try scanning the article once again for answers.

Some people might even find it helpful to read the questions first.

• Practice reading comprehension strategies. There are several methods or strategies that could be applied when answering reading comprehension questions. • Make sure to understand the article clearly when it

comes to answering opinion-related questions. Do not stray away from the topic when stating your own opinion.

ARTICLE 1 Getting to Know You

by Michael McKinney

Here are some ideas to help you develop a better knowledge

of yourself. Adopting even a few of them can help you begin to make positive changes in the way you see yourself as well as others.

First and foremost, try to reflect daily on your behaviour. Ask questions: How do I handle difficulties? What do I think or do when I don’t get my own way? How adaptive am I? Can I control my

emotions? Do I tend to say what I’m thinking when I’m thinking it?

Do I judge other people and create conflict? How do others relate to me?

Second of all, own your choices; stop blaming others for them.

Only when you take responsibility for the situations you find yourself in can you progress toward personal growth.

The next thing you should do is seek feedback from as many significant people in your life as you can. This can be uncomfortable for both you and them, but it is the fastest method for gaining a better picture of yourself. It is important that you are sincere and make them feel safe. It’s a big risk for them too!

Find yourself a coach or mentor—someone who has seen you in action—to help you become a better you. There’s an old Polish proverb that says, “A guest sees more in an hour than the host in a year.” Take advantage of it.

Note that it is also important to understand the faults you find so irritating in others often create a window to your own behaviour.

Frustration in dealing with your own shortcomings often leads to being sensitive and even magnifying those same traits in others.

Analyse your interactions. A lot of negative interactions signal a selfish approach to life. If a number of people say the same thing about you, accept it as true even if you don’t totally agree.

Perception is reality; you can change negative perceptions by

changing yourself.

You could try organizing your thoughts in a journal. Writing can help you clarify your thoughts. Make a note, too, of the casual remarks people make about you.

Lastly, be careful of what you say. Words mean a lot. What you

say can be damaging to both yourself and others.

READING COMPREHENSION EXERCISE 1. What is the benefit of developing a better knowledge of ourselves?

2. State at least 3 of the questions that we should ask ourselves when we reflect on our behaviour.

3. What is the impact that comes from owning our own choices?

4. Why should one ask feedback from significant others?

5. How does the old Polish proverb “A guest sees more in an hour than the host in a year.” correlates to the main point in that particular paragraph?

6. In what way does writing a journal helps organize ones

thoughts?

7. In your opinion, what do you think the writer meant by saying “Words mean a lot.”? Why do you think so?

1.4 GRAMMAR ACTIVE / PASSIVE VOICE Active voice •In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.

•Example: Marilyn mailed the letter.

•Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active voice.

Passive voice •One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.

•Example: The letter was mailed by Marilyn.

•Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.

GRAMMAR EXERCISE Identify whether the verbs that are bolded are active or passive verbs.

1. They often listen to music.

2. She is reading the newspaper now.

3. These cars are produced in Japan.

4. Alan teaches geography.

10. Houses have been built.

1.5 ANSWER SCHEME • READING COMPREHENSION EXERCISE 1. By developing a better knowledge of ourselves, we could begin to make positive changes in the way we see ourselves as well as others.

2. Some of the questions we should ask ourselves to reflect on our own behaviours are “How do I handle difficulties?”, “How adaptive am I?” and “How do others relate to me?”

3. When we own to our choices, the sense of responsibility comes and we can progress towards personal growth.

4. One should ask feedback from significant others as it is the fastest method for gaining a better picture of ourselves.

5. The proverb correlates to the main point in the paragraph in a way that someone else who knows you might understand how to help you better than you yourself, so it is better to find a mentor or coach to help you.

6. Writing a journal helps one organizes their thoughts as it clarifies them as they write.

7. In my opinion, the writer meant to say the words we say carry a huge impact and are able to affect people greatly.

Essay example: The widow had to work hard to bring up her little son alone. This was after her husband’s early death. She and her son lived in a wooden house. It was a small house with only one bedroom and a kitchen.

Mariam wanted Sam to study hard to get good result.

So she would not let Sam help her do any household chores or wash his own clothes. The years flew by. Sam sat for his SPM examination and pass with flying colours.

His mother was very happy. She went round telling her friends, “My Sam will be leaving for the city to study in a college. He will become a Manager one day. I’ll move to live with him in the city. Then, my struggle is worth it.”

So Mariam continued to work hard to send money to Sam who was studying a business degree. For Mariam, it was a tough life. Meanwhile, Sam kept on phoning home to ask for more money. Mariam even had to borrow from her neighbours and friends to send her son the money.

Three years Sam stopped calling home. He did not even let his mother where he was. When she phoned the faculty, they told her that he had graduated and left for job.

However, they could not her more. Mariam was baffled.

Where was Sam? She was so sure he would come back and fetch her for city. So, she started to pack some of her bags and boxes.

Three months later, there was still no news or call from Sam. One day, Mariam’s niece, Kate, came to talk to her about Sam. She told her aunt, “Auntie, a friend of mine met Sam in a bank. He’s the branch manager. This is his address.”

Early in the morning, Mariam took the first bus to the city. At the bus station, she took a taxi and showed the taxi driver the bank address. On the way there, she told the driver about Sam and what a filial son he was.

The driver stopped his taxi in front of a tall building. She got out of the taxi and smiled at him happily. This was the moment she was going to meet Sam. She imagined him showing surprise and delight at meeting his mother. Inside the building, a security guard asked her who she was looking for. She told the guard Sam’s name.

The bank staff saw an old lady holding a worn-out handbag. They were wondering, “Who is this woman? Why is she asking for our manager?”

Meanwhile, Sam pretended he did not know his mother. Feeling disgusted and ashamed, he asked the security guard to ask her to leave. Mariam was shocked to hear that! She looked Sam in a disappointed feeling ever, and ran out of the bank.

Back in her house, Mariam cried the whole night. She cried and cried till she had no more tears. The next morning, she was sitting by the window with Sam’s photo on her lap.

She saw him walking towards their house. Soon she was shouting and crying, “My Sam is back! My Sam is back!”

Sam ran towards her and hugged Mariam as he never let go. He was so sorry and regretted the way he behaved.

His colleagues were the one who made him realized his big mistakes neglected his mother.

The neighbours heard her. They too shouted and cheered, feeling happy for her.

• LITERATURE EXERCISE MODEL RESPONSE Leaving by M.G. Vasasanji is the short sory I learnt. This story is about Aloo a young boy who wants to pursue his studies in America. Aloo is the youngest child in a singleparent family. Aloo is a bright student and he is inspired to go to America after his ex-teacher Mr Datoo talks so much about America. His mother does not take him seriously until a well-known university, California Institute of Technology offers him a place there with full scholarship. Seeing her son's determination, finally with heavy heart, Mother relents to Aloo and allow him to go to America. There are many characters that I admire in the story. The character that I admire the most is Mother because she is determine , caring and loving and selfless.

The first reason why I admire Mother the most is because she is a determine woman because she always put her children first. She is a single mother with five children.

Her husband passed away when she was thirty-three. This is shown in the story when she chooses to stay with her children rather than remarry and loses them. She sold her shop after her daughter Razia was married. She wanted her sons the narrator and Aloo to study hard. She moved from Uhuru, a noisy and busy palace to Upanga. She became a tailor in Upanga. She hoped for the two youngest children, her flesh and blood to to excel in their studies. Upanga was a quiet place, with wild land and tall trees was a perfect place for her sons to study. As we can clearly see now Mother is a determined woman because she always put her children first.

Next, Mother is loving and caring. She feels sad when her children leave her. She finds it difficult to let Aloo go to America. This is shown in the story when she told Aloo that she cannot afford to send him to America. Three thousand shillings was a large amount of money. Aloo was very upset.

Aloo was the apple of her eyes. Seeing her son's disappointment, Mother sought advices from Mr Velji. Mr Velji was very impressed when he learnt that Aloo got flying colour results in his examinations. Mr Velji told Mother that going to America would be good for Aloo's future but added that she might lose Aloo as he might not return to Upanga.

She decided to let her son to go to America after listening to Mr Velji advises. It is as clear as day that Mother is a loving and caring person.

Lastly, I admire Mother because she is selfless because she allows Aloo to go to America. Mother asks Aloo to show her the prospectus of the university. Aloo eagerly shows her the prospectus and tells her he can learn everything there. This is shown in the story when she thought deeply about the offer Aloo received. Aloo was a very ambitious boy who wanted a better life for himself. He did not want to venture into agriculture in the local university. He sought for a better opportunity and was ecstatic to receive the scholarship to study in California Institute of Technology. He hungered to learn more. Letting Aloo to go to America depicts her selflessness as she knew he would be devastated is she refused him. Mother also feared that Aloo would pick up negatives habits. She sternly warned Aloo not to marry with a white woman and stayed away from smoking and drinking.

Even knowing that she might never see him again, Mother decided to let him go to America. Now we can see that Mother is selfless because she allows Aloo to go to America.

. In a nutshell, the character that I admire the most is Mother.

There are many various reasons why I admire her such as she is determine , caring and loving and selfless. The character teaches me to be determined, caring and loving and selfless.

Chapter 4 Checking Up On Health

Nurul Balqis Binti Abu Bakar 135057

LITERATURE Set in Tanzania, a woman raises her five children alone. The mother focuses on the two younger ones, Aloo and the youngest (the narrator). Aloo is in his final year in school and the girl is in university. She hopes both of them can have a better education. She later moves them to Upanga, providing a better environment for them to study.

A former teacher, Mr. Datoo returns and inspired Aloo to further his education in America in the medical field.

He is not keen on studying agriculture in a local university.

He is offered a place with a scholarship in the California Institute of Technology. However, his mother would not allow him to accept the offer because of financial problems and fear of losing him. Finally, on the advice of a school officer, the mother relents and accepts the idea of allowing Aloo to leave. The narrator, for the first time, sees her mother as a person and not just as her mother. Aloo's first letter was a graphic enthusiastic account of London but to the mother, she is uncertain of his return.

The Living Photograph

By Jackie Kay

My small grandmother is tall there, straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt, pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun, a kind, old smile round her eyes.

Her big hand holds mine,

white hand in black hand.

Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.

It was true after all; that look.

My tall grandmother became small.

Her back round and hunched.

Her soup forgot to boil.

She went to the awful place grandmothers go.

Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.

But there she is still, in the photo with me at three,

the crinkled smile is still living, breathing.

Dams could 'permanently damage Amazon'

By Rebecca Morelle Science Correspondent, BBC News The Amazon basin covers more than 6.1 million sq km, and is the largest and most complex river system on the planet.

It has become a key area for hydroelectric dam construction.

But a study suggests that the push for renewable energy along the Amazon's waterways could lead to profound problems.

The international team of researchers who carried out the research is particularly concerned about any disruption to the natural movement of sediment in the rivers.

This sediment provides a vital source of nutrients for wildlife in the Amazon's wetlands. It also affects the way the waterways meander and flow. “[The sediment is] how the rivers work, how they move, how they regenerate new land, and how they keep refreshing the ecosystems," said Prof Latrubesse.

The Texas researcher said that at present environmental assessments were being carried out for each dam in isolation, looking at their impact on the local area. But he argued a wider approach was needed for the Amazon.

"The problem is nobody is assessing the whole package: the cascade of effects the dams produce on the whole system."

The team says a fuller assessment needs to be done before the dam-building progresses further The researchers have highlighted the Madeira, Maranon and Ucayali rivers - all tributaries of the Amazon River - as areas of great concern.

These rivers are home to many unique species, and the scientists say these would be under threat if even a fraction of the planned dams go ahead.

Prof Latrubesse said: “All of these rivers hold huge diversity, with many species that are endemic.

“Thousands of species could be affected, maybe even go extinct.“ The researchers warn that any damage could be irreversible, and they say any risks must be considered before the dams are allowed to go ahead.

TECHNOLOGY Technology and human life cannot be separated; society has a cyclical co-dependence on technology. We use technology; depend on technology in our daily life and our needs and demands for technology keep on rising. Humans use technology to travel, to communicate, to learn, to do business and to live in comfort. However, technology has also caused us concerns. Its poor application has resulted in the pollution of the environment and it has also caused a serious threat to our lives and society. This calls for the proper use of technology. The biggest challenge facing people is to determine the type of future we need to have and then create relevant technologies which will simplify the way we do things.

It is impossible to explore how each new advanced technology has impacted our lives and how it will impact the future. Technology impacts the environment, people and the society as a whole. The way we use technology determines if its impacts are positive to the society or negative. For example, (POSITIVE IMPACT) we can use corn to make ethanol and this ethanol can be used as fuel. Fuel can be used to run machines and cars which will increase the output of manufacturing industries at a lower cost. (NEGATIVE IMPACT) However, if we decide to shift large quantities of corn to fuel production from food production, humans will be left with no food and this will cause world hunger which even is a worse situation.

Based on the text given, answer ALL the questions.

1. State THREE(3) roles of technologies in human daily life .

i- ________________________________________ ii-________________________________________ iii-________________________________________ 2. State ONE(1) positive impacts of using technology. i-_________________________________________ 3.
