SHOWING SENTENCES VS TELLING SENTENCES • “Show Me, Don’t Tell Me” is an approach to writing a more vivid paragraph as it breathes life and energy into any story. • “Telling” sentences tell us something and gives general, non-specific and often vague ideas • “Showing” sentences show us - they describe the scene and actions, they help us see by using clear, specific details to create clear, strong pictures in our minds. • “Showing” sentences will get the reader to experience the story as if the reader is there participating in the story. • Now … let’s look at some examples Touch hear Telling Sentence Tasha was afraid

Showing Sentence As the footsteps tapped closer and closer, Tasha felt his stomach muscles tighten. She flattened herself to the wall, the gritty bricks against her cheek. Lina was afraid.

touch • In the “telling” sentence, we are given information but in a way that doesn’t involve the reader • In the “showing” sentence however, the reader is brought in the scene along with Lina. Here the 5S (sense of touch, smell, feel, see, hear) factor is used

see

feel touch

hear

smell Tasha was afraid.

• So, the secret of a showing sentence is it’s beautifully simple with specified details that brings life and stimulates the reader’s imagination so that the reader could project him or herself into the scene and become part of the story. 3

SECTION C [25 Marks] [Time suggested: 50 minutes] Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage. 1 It was early in the morning. I still remember how refreshing the morning air was. How the birds were chirping happily, how the dew dripping from the leaves of the trees, and the smell of delicious food been cooked that maybe coming from my neighbour’s house when they were preparing breakfast. I was five years old and was helping my mom to water her plants and by helping, what I really meant was staring at my mom doing all of the jobs. 2 To be very honest, the main purpose of me waking up that early in the morning was not because of my willingness to help my mother but I was actually waiting for that one particular sound that could bring out all happiness in this whole world. I was actually waiting for the ice cream man bell’s sound. There was something different about this man’s chocolate ice cream. There will no brand of ice cream that can taste as scrumptious as his chocolate ice-cream! 3 But sadly, I slowly started to feel that my sacrifice (waking up early in the morning) that I had made turned out to be useless. After 30 minutes of waiting, he was not there yet. He usually would pass by my house’s gate sharp at 8.30am in the morning but he was nowhere to be found. But, after five minutes, I could hear the bell sound from afar. My sleepiness and worried had suddenly left my body and my excitement had replaced them! 4 I quickly ran towards the gate and tried my very best to open it up but that was when I realized that the gates were locked. I looked at my mom and scream as loud as I could to ask her help to bring me the key while jumping anxiously. Scared that the ice-cream man did not want to wait for me. Scared that he did not realize my small hand that waved in order to try to make him stopped. I could see my mom ran all the way from the orchid’s gazebo into our house to get me the gates’ key and also the money to buy the ice-cream. When I turned to the ice- cream man, I saw he looked straight towards me and I can feel a sudden relief to know that he had noticed me. 5 But he only turned his body around again and rode his motorcycle away. I was shocked. There were so many things that I wanted to asked him. Like, did not he notice me? I was jumping and even screamed to call him. When my mom arrived at where I was standing, she was shocked to see there was no ice-cream man on his motorcycle, waiting in front of our gates. As a five years old kid, there was nothing more painful than been ignored by the ice-cream man. But my mom calmed me down and told me there must be a reason to why he did not stop for me and that was my last time waiting for the ice-cream man. That was the last time I saw him. 6 But it was a few week ago, when I went home for my semester break my mom told me something that really broke my heart. It was heart breaking but also made me believe that kindness still exist. It made me believe that humanity is still the greatest value that a human can

have. My mother told me, she met my favourite ice-cream man during my childhood. She was walking around in a supermarket and that was when she bumped into him. She immediately approached him and asked him how he was doing. Asking him whether he still with his icecream business and whether he still sells his delicious chocolate ice-cream. He was taken aback but then he smiled so widely when he remembered my mom. After he answered my mother’s questions, he asked my mother a question that made her so overwhelmed. 7 “Is your small daughter has grown up to be a woman now? I am sorry but I always remember her small hand waving and calling me whenever she wanted to buy my chocolate ice-cream. She will jump around with huge eyes and excitement. I remember how her eyes will glow with happiness whenever she taste the ice-cream. I am sorry that sometimes I did not wait for her and just rode away, that was because there was no chocolate ice-cream left or I did not manage to make some. I do not want to break her heart by telling her that her favourite ice- cream has finished” 8 I was surely overwhelmed and taken aback but that ice-cream man has taught me that we cannot give up on kindness and we will never know one’s truest intention. Just as much as I did not know the ice-cream man’s honest intention when he ignored me and rode his motorcycle away, just as much as that we could not assume one’s honesty and truest intention over something. In our society nowadays, there are many people that think only about themselves. 9 Kindness is a boomerang. But sometimes, it is not. Whenever the kindness is not returning to us immediately, do not think or assume that there is no kindness left in this whole world. Just as much as I should not stop waiting for my ice-cream man every morning even though he maybe rode his motorcycle away from me, just as much as that we cannot stop hoping and fighting for kindness. I should not give up on him. I should not give up on his kindness. We are the one who move the kindness around. Remember that there will be one way or another that kindness that we do today, will return to us in future. Just like Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘be the change that you wish to see in this world’. I wish to see more people like my ice-cream man exist in this world. I wish to see the lost gem of kindness, exist. Again. Grand prize winner of IMPACT USM 2019

SECTION C [25 marks] (Time suggested: 50 minutes] Questions 26-31 are based on the following passage. 1 I often think about my childhood friend, Ismail. Back in the early 60s, our f a m i l i e s lived a stone’s throw from each other on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, surrounded by a vast expanse of rubber and oil palm trees. Ismail’s father was the plantation lorry driver and Ismailwas the eldest of five children.No one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and we were Indian Hindus.We just accepted our differences. 2 We must have been nine when we became friends.Ismail,my elder bro.ther Jothi and I would watch with fascinatoi n as his father busied himself in his workshop. Ismai’ls father, a genialbear of a man,was a handyman of sorts. Once he converted a huge cylindrical glass container into an aquarium. We were thrilled whenever we had the chance to help him with his tools. 3 In time,the three of us built a den from discarded zinc sheets and old wooden planks not far from our homes.Here, we spent many a sultry afternoon, away from my younger sister Prema, a curious seven-year-old who constantly wondered what her secretive brothers were up to. We would enjoy the sugarcane and guavas that Ismail brought from his garden. We would provide the tapioca, kitchen utensils and salt, all surreptitiousy taken from our home. Mom was suspicious at times but she never made a fuss over her ‘missing’ utensils. After washing the tapioca using water from a nearby stream,we then sliced it into thin half-moon discs,sprinkled on a little salt and deep fried them in the wok over an open fire.That was how we made our own tapioca chips.Ihave never tasted better ones.

4 During the school holidays, we would explore the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to come across the unexpected. Going zipping past the cliffs with a sheer ravine falling away on the other side of the path was exhilarating! Stopping to catch our breath, we would watch the flash of colour as a kingfisher flew by. These experiences filled us with a sense of adventure and awe. 5 Perhaps because he was the oldest child, Ismail acted responsibly and was seldom emotional. He had a steady hand and was quick to help. Once, he deftly removed a thorn that had pierced my foot while we were swimming in a stream. 6 Occasionally, during the weekends, Jothi and l would go to Ismail’s house. His 30 younger sisters minded baby Udin. as their mother. a petite woman in a sarong, smiled and busied herselfIn the small kitchen. I remember once she stewd chicken while the children peered into the pot and murmured “delicious. Just like my family, they rarely had meat. At times Ismail would accompany our family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his company. The shy smile on his face spoke a thousand words. 7 The years passed and memories of my childhood days grew hazy. One dismal afternoon in mid 1983, I stopped a taxiin Kuala Lumpur and got in just as the skies opened up. l stated my destination and prayed that Iwould not be late for my job interview. There was a recession and jobs were scarce. The driver, a small, neatly 40 dressed man, looked intently at me through his mirror. “RaddarT he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so familiarly addressed. There was no mistaking that shy smile -it was Ismail! 8 As Igrasped his shoulder over the front seat, I felt a genuine affection, something hard to describe. He patted my hand and said “I haven’t seen you in a while, friend: We chatted as he drove. Ismails parents were well.His sisters were married and so was he. His word as a taxi driver was temporary. He would soon be heading to Pahang to work.

SECTION C [25 marks] [Time suggested: 50 minutes] Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage. 1 When will I be released? I have another 3 months to serve until I am freed. I have messed up with my life and true enough, my mother’s curse really worked. That must have been because I have hurt her feelings a lot. 2 My father had left my mother when she was pregnant with me. She played the role of a single parent very well until I started mixing with some 5 notorious boys in school. She warned me to keep away from them but I insisted that they were part of my life. I idolised them because they always had the money to spend and used expensive handsets. 3 My mother worked as an operator in a small industry and earned very little. We lived from hand to mouth. I was never given any luxury and I 10 always blamed her for it. I felt that she did not work hard enough to give me the luxury. At that time, I despised her so much that I even told her that I hated the sight of her. Then, she found a second job as a washerwoman in the neighbourhood. 4 I started stealing money from her savings and once I even pawned her 15 only wedding ring to get extra pocket money to impress my rich friends. I spent them at expensive ‘Nasi Kandar’ restaurants. At school, I became famous among friends and started missing classes to join my friends at shopping complexes. Slowly, I stopped going to school and when Mother found out, she scolded and even begged me to go back to school. I told her to 20 get lost and packed my bags to leave home. She cried and promised to provide me with all the luxury I needed. I went near her and slapped her on her face. That was when she cursed me that I would regret one day when the whole world would turn its back on me. 5 I left home and found myself a job as a foreman. The boss sacked me 25 when I started laying hands on his income. Then I became a contract worker and stayed with the other contract workers. The workload was too heavy for me and I started playing truant from work. I got myself fired again and had no home to stay. I went back to my so-called friends for money and shelter but they turned me down and some did not even acknowledge me. They 30 stared at me as if I was a filthy thing. I was hungry and became desperate. I needed food, money and shelter but I didn’t want to return to my mother because I was ashamed of myself. 6 I had to do something. I walked up to the wet market in town, hoping to get myself a job there. I saw an Indian lady with things in both hands 35 walking alone towards her car. An evil idea struck my mind. She had her purse under her armpit. I walked slowly towards her, snatched her purse and fled. I could hear her shouting for help and some even chased after me but I managed to escape. I hid myself at a construction site and I rummaged through the contents of the purse. She had almost RM200.00 and that kept 40 me alive for another twelve days.

7 I became excited because that was easy money and I felt like doing it again. This time I went to the Mega Mall and tried my luck. I snatched a Chinese lady’s handbag and tried to flee but this time I was unlucky. Some passers-by and the security guard managed to get me.

DIRECTED WRITING To : Madam Ain Aqilah Date : 14 November 2018 Report about the work-long visit for international students During the last school holidays, SMKA Wataniah hosted a week long-visit for international students. A total of 20 students of British nationality within the age group of 14 to 17 participated in this visit. The visit was held as it was good for international relations in particular between England and Malaysia. Besides that, this visit provided an oppurtunity for foreigners to understand the culture of Malaysia’s multiethnic-society. The accommodation for the international students was at Hilton Park, Putrajaya. Throughout the course of the visit, the international students attended cooking lessons carried out by members of our school’s life skills club. Several members of our school’s traditional games club taught the international students various traditional games. Our students also brought the international students for a sight-seeing session to observe landmarks in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Feedback from the group of international students was very positive. Many felt that our country had beautiful beaches. Majority of them also expressed their amazement at the variety of our local cuisine. Based on this visit, I recommend that we explain our country’s rich historical background during future international student visits. I hope visits like this can be hosted more regularly to allow our students to be exposed to peers of different nationalities. Yours faithfully, Lina AZRINA NAZRI

MARKS RANGE

DESCRIPTION CRITERIA

26 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 31

* The language is sufficiently accurate to communicate meaning clearly to the reader. * There will be patches of clear, accurate language, particularly when simple vocabulary and structures are used. * There is some variety of sentence type and length but the purpose is not clearly seen. * Punctuation is generally correct but does not clarify meaning. * Meaning but this is not developed to show precision.

20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 25

* Simple words may be spelt correctly but frequent mistakes in spelling and punctuation make reading the script difficult. * Paragraphs lack unity or are haphazardly arranged. * The subject matter will show some relevance to the topic but only a partial treatment is given. * The high incidence of linguistic error is likely to distract the reader from any merits of content that the composition may have. * Meaning is fairly clear but the high incidence of errors throughout the writing will definitely impede the reading. * There will be many serious errors of various kinds throughout the script but they are mainly of the single word type, i.e. they could be corrected without rewriting the whole sentence. * A script at this level will have very few accurate sentences.

14-19

* Although communication is established, the frequent errors may cause blurring. * Sentences will be simple and very often repetitive. * Punctuation will sometimes be used correctly but sentence separation errors may occur. * Paragraphs lack unity or there may not be any paragraphs at all. * The reader is able to get some sense out of the script but errors are multiple in nature, requiring the reader to read and re-read before being able to understand.

8-13

* At this level, there may be only a few accurate however simple sentences. * The content may be comprehensible, but the incidence of linguistic error is so high as to make the meaning blur. * This type of script may also be far short of the required number of words.

0-7

* Scripts in this category are almost entirely impossible to read. * Whole sections may make little or no sense at all. * Where occasional patches of clarity occur, marks should be awarded. * The mark of 0 should only be given if script makes no sense at all, from beginning to end.

NB:No script will fit nearly into any one of the categories described above. The appropriate mark for a script is therefore determined by deciding which category most nearly reflects its characteristics. Examiners should not construct any hierarchy of characteristics when allocating a mark, but should assess the article as a whole before deciding on any category and should also refer to the exemplar scripts which are discussed at the coordination stage of the marking exercise.
