Some students are afraid of sitting for examinations. One of the reasons is they are not
well-prepared. Preparing for an examination requires more than revising what has been taught.
A conscientious student pays careful attention in class and does his homework diligently.
He asks for help from teachers, friends and family members when he has problems
understanding a lesson. Instead of waiting until the last minute, he studies what is taught each
day. This is certainly the most effective method of preparing for examinations as the student
studies consistently and is under no pressure to rush.
Students who wait until the eleventh hour to start studying for the examination often
panic. They only end up being nervous and exhausted. Some hardly have time to cover all the
topics that will be tested, so they scan through them hastily. These are the students who dread
examinations for they know they are not ready.
Questions 35 – 37 are based on the extract from the short story Of Bunga Telur and Bally
Shoes.
Cousin Lan pretended to be aggrieved. Secretly, though, he was not. The last time he
checked out the price of Bally shoes in Lot 10 in Kuala Lumpur, it cost well above RM800.00. A
chance of a lifetime for Cousin Lan! But Cousin Lan, as was his wont, was not averse to a little
hard bargaining.
“Mal … that’s a lot of pitis. My Bally shoes so far cost only RM70.00. RM430.00…
that’s a lot of pitis.” And to emphasise the point, Cousin Lan made some clucking noises.
Cousin Lan tried to continue, but was angrily cut short by Jamal. “Of course, it’s a lot of
pitis, you miser,” Jamal retorted. “These are real Bally shoes, not your pirated Golok version. If
you’re not interested, never mind. I’ll take my merchandise elsewhere, but you’re not going to
take advantage of my situation to be your usual conniving miserly self,” sulked Jamal.
Cousin Lan quickly made amends, afraid of losing a lifetime treasure. “I was just
kidding, Mal. Don’t take it so hard. Of course, RM430.00 is fine, but can I pay by installments?”
The look on Jamal’s face deterred further arguments.
35 Which of the following does NOT show that Cousin Lan wanted the shoes badly?
A He seemed aggrieved
B His facial expression
C He tried to bargain with Jamal
D The way he touched the shoes
