SAMPLE
ANSWER
I would choose to be a doctor because it is my
childhood ambition. The working place is clean and
comfortable, so it must be a place conducive to work.
My job involves treating patients, which is my passion.
I always have passion for the sick and poor. I hope to
treat and help them in any way I can.
I will also look smart when I wear the overcoat
during my working hours. It is a simple and neat
uniform. This job demands a lot of dedication and
commitment but I am not afraid of the challenge.
Furthermore, I am a very determined person who
does not give up easily. Lastly, the pay is high, so it is

sufcient for me to take care of my parents as well as

my own family in future.

Level 3: 4 5 marks
Level 3 (1)
I would go to an au nts house
because I have never been to an
aunts house before. My aunt is
staying in Pulau Pinang. Her
house is an apartment in the city.
I want to learn more about Pulau
Pinang.
I can play computer games
with my cousins as I love to play
computer games.
I can also swim in the pool with
my cousins as I want to learn
swimming. My aunt can
teach me how to swim as she is a
swimming champion. I think this is
the best place for me.

Level 3 (2)
I would go to G r
andpar ents house
in Sarawak because it
would be nice to
experience a
diferent lifestyle
away from the noisy

polluted city and my

same old routine.
My caring
grandparents reside in a
wooden longhouse near
the river. Therefore

If I do stay there for

the upcoming school

holidays, I will go jungle trekking

and who knows I may spot a
Rafflesia in the jungle.
I also hope to collect fruits
from an
orchard. I have been told that it is
not easy to collect fruits from an
orchard but very rewarding
because I can then enjoy the juicy
fruits.

Syikin comes from a very poor family. Her father is a fisherman and her mother is a
housewife. Her family has difficulties to make ends meet. Despite all these hardships, she
never gives up on her study because she is a very determined and diligent girl. She scored
5As in the UPSR examination. She was also selected as the best pupil at the national level.
Her parents were very happy and proud of her achievement. They knew she would have
a better future than them. The teachers at Syikins school were happy and proud that she
had brought recognition to the school. Everyone who knew her congratulated her success.
At a special ceremony, the state government presented Syikin with a laptop and
RM1000 for her outstanding achievement. She was also offered a scholarship to continue
her education. A top boarding school in the country had accepted her.
Syikin was grateful to God that her hard work had brought success. Her parents did not
need to worry about her future any more. She realised that one will succeed in life if one
does not give up easily, just like the saying If theres a will, theres a way.

As the two good friends Ina and Mimi played a

challenging game of congkak in Inas house, the shrill
sound of the house bell interrupted their game.

One day, Zahira was in the living room playing

congkak with her best friend. Suddenly, a loud bell made
them almost jump out of their skin.

When Mimi got up and looked out of the window,

she caught sight of the ice-cream man and his
motorcycle. A few children had already crowded around
him, asking for different varieties of ice-cream. Mimis
eyes wandered over to a girl standing at one side. She
was clothed in what seemed to be dirty rags, and it was
obvious that she had no money to buy an ice-cream. Mimi
immediately felt a surge of pity for her. She quickly
beckoned Ina to follow her outside.

Zahira went to the window and looked out. It was

the ice-cream truck! The ice cream man was there and as
usual, many children were waiting to buy an ice-cream.
Suddenly Zahira caught sight of a girl. She was dressed
in ragged clothes and was looking longingly at the icecreams. Zahira then got angry at the ignorance of the
other children about the poor girl. Her heart went out to
her. She then decided to take some money and buy her
an ice-cream.

Mimi and Ina bought themselves each an ice-cream

and one more for the girl. They made their way to the
solemn looking girl. Mimi handed the extra ice-cream to
her. In a split second, a wide grin spread out on the
girls face. She thanked Mimi and Ina quickly, savouring
the taste of her ice-cream. Mimi and Ina felt proud for
helping the girl and then bade her goodbye.

She bought three ice-creams; one for herself, one

for her friend, and one for the poor girl. The girl was so
happy and thanked Zahira for the ice-cream. Then, the girl
ran back home. The incident took place six weeks ago but
was still clear in her mind and she never regretted
learning the meaning of kindness.
