My school celebrated Teachers Day on 16 May 2017 this year. First

After that the teachers sang Guru Malaysia. It was nice to hear the

Next, the senior assistant and the principal gave speeches. They were
quite long but we did not mind it as we were going to have fun later.
Lastly, the school prefects and class monitors presented tokens of
appreciation to the teachers. My class presented a bouquet of roses to
our class teacher, Pn Daliya Rashidi. Everybody clapped and cheered as
the teachers accepted the presents.
After the assembly, the teachers played various sports with the

Question 4

Read the text below.

After his wife passes on, Pak Ali moved in with son, Samad, daughter in law
and their four-year-old son. Pak Ali loved his grandson very much and spent all his
time with him, especially when the boys parents went off to work.
They family made it a point to get together for dinner every night. Being very
old, Pak Ali had a poor eyesight and unsteady hands. So eating become a chore.
He dropped hid food and spilled his milk all over the table and floor. He even broke
some of the plates and glasses. Samad and his wife became irritated with the mess
the old made. They also scolded him for being careless.
The next day, they set up a small table in a corner and made the old man eat
there from a wooden bowl. Meanwhile, they continued eating at the dinner table.
The little boy looked at his grandfather and saw him crying. He walked up to him,
wiped away the old mans tears and said Dont cry grandpa. One evening, Samad
and his wife noticed their son playing with little pieces of wooden. What are you
doing? they asked him. The little boy responded, Oh, Im making wooden bowl for
you and mama to eat your food from when youre old.
Samad and his wife were speechless. They were shocked and realised how
cruel they had been to the old man. That evening, they held Pak Alis and led him
back to the dinner table. From that day onwards, he ate every meal with the family.
And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a
fork was dropped or milk spilled.
Children are remarkably smart, being role models to their children, parents
must ensure that their children learn positive values from them.

Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) (d).

The Day the Bulldozers Came

The day the bulldozers came

Rooks were building
Crazy egg baskets in the oaks;
Green flies sizzled by the pond
And a cold-eyed toad
Waited for them.

The day the bulldozers came

Squirrels were scattering
Up tree trunks
And leapt from branches
That were hardly there.

The fox
Stirred in his sleep
As the ground trembles
'Ha ha!' he thought
'I'm quite safe
Deep down in the Earth
No one can get me here'
Then the bulldozers came.
