VOCABULARY
In the grammar section (Section C) pupils are required to answer questions on grammar, punctuation and spelling. For grammar, pupils need to read the questions and understand the grammar rules that need to be applied. After choosing the answer, you need to think whether the answer you have chosen is the best answer. Reason out the answer by recalling the grammar rules you have learnt.
When choosing the answer for the punctuation questions, pupils need to read all the options given. While reading the sentences, circle the errors. Then compare the sentence with the other options in the question until you find the sentence without errors.
When answering questions on synonym or antonym, make sure you give the synonym or antonym in context (the meaning of the word used in the sentences) and not its general meaning.

My destination was Langkawi, yes Langkawi! I just couldn’t believe my ears when my choral speaking team was told the good news. We had won the state level and were representing out state at the finals in Langkawi.
Miss Shila Nair, who was our trainer, booked our flight to Langkawi on the Malaysian low-cost carrier. All of us were very excited and it would be my very first flight. I quickly packed my school uniform, tie and my favourite book of poems into my new travelling bag.
We gathered at the school porch and were driven to the airport in a bus. When we arrived at the airport, we checked-in our luggage, obtained our boarding passes and waited impatiently to board the aeroplane.
Soon, we were flying among the clouds. I just couldn’t believe that I was flying through the air. I was lucky to get a window seat and the view was simply beautiful. The jungle looked like a green hand-woven carpet. The paddy fields looked like a Monopoly board. Soon, we landed in Langkawi. I was speechless. This will surely be one experience that will remain in my memory for a long time.
