Youths are introduced to cigarettes by peers or friends. They love to experiment, and being
curious, they tread on forbidden grounds. A mere challenge by a friend can trigger off a
smoking habit just to be accepted into a group of friends. Young people also tend to attach
the macho image to smoking, imitating celebrities who smoke. Therefore, it is important that
famous personalities realise their moral role and become models to inculcate positive habits in
our youths.

5 According to the extract above, it is important for famous personalities to realise their
moral role because

A they are fashionable.


B they have to inculcate good habits.
C they have to look good to the public.
D young people tend to follow whatever they do.

[25 marks]

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.

1 Lahuma sprang to his feet. The voice had a very strange note. Urgent and
desperate. Thrusting his parang into its sheath at his waist, he bounded down to
the swamp, jumping over the clumps and logs that blocked his path.
2 “Jeha! Jeha!” he called.
3 Through the trees he saw his wife standing very still. Her face was deathly 5
pale.
4 “Jeha! Jeha! ” Lahuma called out. His wife did not reply.
5 Lahuma sprang forward. Then he caught sight of a black cobra a metre
away from his wife, its head reared knee high. That yellow-spotted head was
dilated and swaying from side to side like the stem of a wild ginger plant blowing 10
in the wind. At first he thought of grabbing a stick and beating that deadly snake
with it, but he feared the attack would cause it to strike at his wife’s knee.
6 “Don’t move!” he instructed.
7 He studied the cobra’s watchful attitude. It would spring into action the
moment his wife moved. It would strike her knee, or lunge upwards at her body or 15
face.
8 “Don’t move!” he said again.
9 Lahuma waited a long time, but the cobra’s head remained dilated and
swaying. In his heart he began to panic. He remembered an old folk saying: a
black cobra cannot see its prey when its head is fully dilated. But Lahuma could 20
not quite believe that. It seemed impossible that the cobra could not see at that
moment. What if the cobra poison entered his wife’s heart? What of the rice still
unsown; the children at home; the work of planting, of picking up the crabs, of
chasing away the birds when they came? What of all these? Lahuma’s spirit began
to fail him. If that snake poured its poison into his wife’s body, he would lose her, 25
he would lose his right hand.
10 “Don’t move!” he said again.
11 But Jeha was growing faint. Her body swayed a little. A tremor shook her
head, and her face had grown ever paler.
12 “Don’t move your legs! Don’t move!” 30
13 But Jeha seemed to have lost her strength. She forgot everything. Her legs
began to shake; before long she would fall to the ground. Then the cobra would
spring and strike home.
14 Lahuma grew desperate. Slowly he drew out his parang, meaning to hurl it
at the snake; but slowly he returned the parang to its sheath. An error in his throw 35
would just draw blood and drive the snake into furious action. But his wife would
not remain long on her feet. She was trembling more and more violently.
15 And with that yell he hurled himself like a wild wind at the swaying snake.
The cobra lunged but only struck empty air. Lahuma caught hold of its throat and
squeezed with all his might. The rest of the snake’s body coiled round his hand. 40
With his left hand he drew his parang and slashed the cobra to pieces. He pressed
its head to the ground and pounded at it with his right fist till it was crushed into
the earth.

1119/2 SULIT
SULIT 10 1119/2

16 He stopped when he caught sight of the cobra’s remains all in shreds. He


was breathing hard and the sweat poured from his face and his whole body. 45
Beside him Jeha fell to the ground. Unconscious.
17 “Jeha! Jeha!” he called, tapping her cheeks with his left hand.
18 Jeha lay lifeless.
19 “Did you disturb its nest?”
20 Still Jeha did not move. 50
21 “Jeha! Jeha!” He went on tapping his wife’s cheeks. “That was the male I
killed. The female has not come out yet. You must have disturbed her while she
was laying eggs.”
22 But Jeha lay motionless. He carried her to a clearer spot and laid her on the
newly felled tree trunks. 55
23 “Jeha! Jeha!”
24 Lahuma’s anxiety mounted. The evil effects of the encounter with that
deadly snake had put his wife in a trance. What should he do? He lifted his wife in
his arms and with all his strength, fled with her out of the belukar. The female
cobra would come to attack them if they stayed. The mother-cobra would be 60
utterly merciless. Would strike swiftly at their legs. Gone would be their hopes of
planting the fourteen relongs of rice. When he reached the edge of the village,
Lahuma looked around desperately, hoping to catch sight of someone. Then far
away across the rice fields, he saw the figure of a man dragging a large buffalo.
25 “Snake! Cobra! Cobra!” 65

To take the measure of the house.

This life lasted ten years.


At the end of the ten years, they had paid everything with the rates of usury and the
accumulations of the compound interest.
Madame Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of impoverished
households – strong and hard and rough. With frowsy hair, skirts askew and red
hands, she talked loud while washing the floor with great swishes of water. But
sometimes, when her husband was at the office, she sat down near the window and
thought of that gay evening of long ago, of that ball where she had looked so
beautiful and been so much admired.
What would have happened if she had not lost that necklace? Who knows? Who
knows? How strange and changeful is life! How small a thing is needed to make or
ruin us!

Section B: Continuous Writing (50 marks)

1 The assessment of the candidate’s response will be based on impression.

2 The examiner shall read and re-read the response carefully and at the same time
underline for gross or minor errors or put in omission marks (^) where such errors
occur.

3 The examiner should also mark for good vocabulary or expressions by putting a
merit tick at the end of such merits.

4 The examiner shall fit the candidate’s response against the most appropriate band
having most of the criteria as found in the band. The examiner may have to refer to
upper or lower bands to the band already chosen to BEST FIT the student’s
response to the most appropriate band. The marks from the band decided on for
the script also depend on the number of criteria that are found in the script.

5 Justify the band and marks given, if necessary, by commenting on the strengths
and weaknesses of the candidate’s response, using the criteria found in the band.
